At the risk of speaking for someone else, I think what he means is that people respond to incentives/punishments. If you make a reversal worth 3 instead of 2 then the punishment to the top wrestler is greater. That will incentivize the top wrestler to cut, instead of ride, to avoid giving up the extra point (3-2) if the reversal occurs. With the right data, I think this is testable. In theory you could compare riding time and riding time points from when takedowns and reversals were both worth two to now, when there is a one point difference, and infer whether behavior from top wrestlers has changed.

Iowa just keeps grinding higher. Credit Kyle Parco's move from $4 to #3 this week and Joey Cruz's return to the rankings. Next stop Penn State (not shown but expected points = 139.6) Oklahoma State took a breather this week. While Reece Witcraft, Carter Young, and Caleb Fish saw incremental rankings gains, Troy Spratley dropped from #2 to #4, more than offsetting the gains at 133, 149, and 157. The race for the final podium position remains tight. Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, and Northern Iowa are within 14.8 points of each other. Even Cornell and Illinois have a punchers chance.

Confirming that F you got in civics

You are ignoring the role the Iowa AD played in the Ferrari fiasco. AJ is never going back to Iowa.

No that is not what is important. What is important is whether Trump broke the law.

It is about time: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-sec-sues-elon-musk-232244503.html In a complaint filed in Washington, D.C., federal court, the SEC said the delay allowed Musk to continue buying Twitter shares at artificially low prices, allo...

Or wear more. The only ugly dumb c*nt is the Eagles fan.

I don't know that the Ferrari/Iowa dance has been cause to celebrate or try to take a victory lap.

Are these the three most geographically diverse wrestling brothers ever?

Nickals and Dimes is such a dumb name. First, there is only one Nickal on the podcast. Second, the expression is not plural. No one says I got nickelsed and dimesed. Reminds me of Airheads:

Cassar's response to Steveson's rubber match request

Wyatt Sheets is one of one. As a result #33 seeds have gone 0-2 77% of the time (still better than 82% for #32 seeds) and AA'd 2% of the time.

Filling in some context on Mizz performance last year: In the 33 seed era (5 years) the: #12 seed goes 0-2 8% of the time and AA's 18% of the time (most common outcome is 1-2) #15 seed goes 0-2 16% of the time and AA's 12% of the time (most common outcome is 1-2) #22 seed goes 0-2 36% of the time and has never AA'd (most common outcome is 1-2) #30 seed goes 0-2 80% of the time and has never AA'd (most common outcome is 0-2) Zero wins sucks, but two or three wins is about what you expect from that group of seeds. Four is cause for celebration.

They did not crap the bed last year to my way of looking. Based on seeds I had them projected to score 51 points. They scored 49.5.

Ironically, Cael knows where to find me.

To say I don't give a rat's ass about Joseph Smith and the book of mormon would be a massive overstatement.

Good job Flo for putting this together.

While I do not know what he weighed in at yesterday, he did wrestle 184. If he is weighing in at 184 he needs 26 days to drop to 174. Time is running out.

40% Fine Silver. I wonder how many carats that is.

Example?

Any truth to the rumor Beau Bartlett had to stay behind and do an extra workout as penance?

Classic case of over compensation.

All of the letters in my name are silent

Tell me this is not what happens when you lose a cannoli bet.
