This is terrible. I hope for a full recovery and safe return to wrestling.

I read through a few of his reports. This guy puts me to shame. His level of detail and analysis was incredible.

I just looked him up. My kind of guy.

How many parents get in the way at the D1 level? I know I have heard of 1 or 2 instances, but that seems the rare exception rather than the rule.

By that token I should only count years 2-4. And now that I type that out loud. Maybe I will. Could be interesting.

strong sitting in my office with the music playing this inspired me to play 54-46 Was My Number. thanks for that.

What will famous wrestling-based blockers like Mineo and Pyles do? This could be an existential crisis.

Not only did you not say anything worse, I did not accuse you of saying anything worse. But you did claim that others compared it to the worst racist words, which you find insulting. So again, just because there are worse words does not make that an acceptable word. And just because you say it aims directly at the moral fiber of the target does not make it a true statement. That word has never had anything to do with moral fiber. And I would be shocked if you did not know that. It seems like you just like to use it and will attempt any lame justification to do so. I think you are just plain wrong on this.

Wilco fan. So, so on Son Volt. If you are a Westerberg fan, check this out: He sold it for download for 49 cents in 2008. It is a single track, but many people have published "track" lists for it. More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/49:00 Two of my favorites: Visiting Day at 10:40 and Devil Raised A Good Boy at 14:28

It always amazes me you think it is ok just because you can think of something worse. Why are you so insistent that the problem is us when you use that?

I am a believer in revealed preferences, so I went to my Spotify account and looked at who I listened to the most. There were a lot of solo acts/bands, but I listed the bands I listen to the most, that must, therefore, be my favorites.

The Clash The Rolling Stones The Who The Replacements The Police After reading that list I feel like I should add The The

Given your avatar I am a little surprised there is no particular order. And RIP Robbie Robertson.

He would not be the first guy on the list with five tournaments. Both Myles Amine and Jaydin Eierman are among the top 228 with five tournaments. Eierman had more than enough after four tournaments, but Amine was only a half point above The Ed Peery Line after four tournaments. For that reason I started looking at it on a per tournament basis. Then later I looked at it on a per match basis, because until recently there was a lot of variability in bracket sizes. On a per tournament basis I am guessing O'Toole will end up looking very good. But Eierman (#226 of 228) is hurt by his injury and Amine (#218) is hurt by his first four tournaments. Meanwhile, Wayne Martin is tied with Amine in total points, but he is fifth highest in points per tournament.

I think mastering the transfer portal is huge. I want to believe that NIL is huge, but I am not convinced it matters as much as people on here want to believe it does for fringe sports like wrestling. But that also means if some wealthy booster wants to treat NIL as a loss leader, they can potentially dominate a fringe sport.

I can see your argument. Koll might not be running toward UNC, but away from Stanford.

Core CPI peaked around 6.7% in this latest round, while headline maxed out at 9%.

That is what the headline number is. And that is what is typically reported.

There are a whole lot of measures of inflation (CPI, PCE, PPI, etc) and almost all of them have headline numbers and core numbers. Core does not includ energy or food because they are both seasonal and volatile.

3.7% per year

This table has a lot of problems. First, there is the definition challenge. What is a D1 school prior to the existence of D1? And how do you deal with schools that competed at multiple levels? What is a team in the open era when anyone can show up? I address none of these questions. Second, all of these start and end years are my best guess. My best guess as to the 20 longest tenured top level teams that no longer exist:

I am very annoyed with myself. I have Keegan O'Toole in my database and just completely overlooked him. At 62.5 points he sits 189th on the list in a tie with a couple of Iowans, Dan Holm (72-75), and Derek St. John (11-14). With one more title he jumps into the top 30 all-time. And because of that fifth year, he has a chance to challenge The King's total of 107.5 points. Though, if he has two more title years identical to his last two he would come up a mere half point short. But if he can ramp up the bonus scoring while still winning titles, he has a shot. Technically, he can still take second with four pins and pull it off.
