  1. The truth is stranger than fiction. I believe this 100%.
  2. 2009 125lbs is another example of a third champ knocking off two previous champs. Troy beat Paul and Angel, both 2-1 Paul Donahoe - Nebraska - 2007 1st | 2008 2nd [2009 2nd] Angel Escobedo - Indian - 2008 1st | 2007 4th [2010 3rd, 2009 5th] Troy Nickerson - Cornel - 2009 1st | 2008 3rd | 2007 2nd Anthony Robles - Arizona State [2009 4th, 2010 7th, 2011 1st] 2017 184lbs is another example that ended with its third champ (Bo) in the same bracket as two previous champs. Emory Parker (Illinois) knocked Myles off early and Sammy Brooks (Iowa) beat Myles too. Bo pinned his way to the finals, including Sammy Brooks, before beating Gabe 4-3. Gabe Dean - Cornell - 2016 1st, 2015 1st, 2014 3rd [2017 2nd ] Myles Martin - The Ohio State - 2016 1st [2019 3rd, 2018 2nd, 2017 5th] Bo Nickal - Penn State - 2017 1st | 2016 2nd [2019 1st, 2018 1st] Drew Foster - Northern Iowa [2017 7th, 2019 1st] Mike Machiavello - NC State [2018 1st] 2018 125lbs is another example that ended with its third champ (Spencer) in the same bracket as two previous champs. Nick knocked off Darian, Spencer pinned Nathan, and Spencer won the title over Nick by the score of 5-1. Nathan Tomasello - The Ohio State - 2017 3rd, 2016 3rd, 2015 1st [2018 3rd] Darian Cruz - Lehigh - 2017 1st, 2014 7th [2018 5th] Spencer Lee - Iowa - 2018 1st [2021 1st, 2019 1st], Nick Suriano - Rutgers [2022 1st, 2021 1st, 2018 2nd] Who will be the fourth champ at 165 lbs in 2023 that knocks off the three existing champs?
  3. There was an upset in 1996 at 167lbs, with the 5th-seeded wrestler defeating two returning NCAA champions on his way to the title. Markus Mollica - Arizona State - 1st in 1995 at 167lbs, 5th in 1994 at 158lbs, 1st in 1993 at 158lbs Mark Branch - Oklahoma State - 2nd in 1995 at 167lbs, 1st in 1994 at 167lbs, [2nd in 1996 (injured in finals) and 1st in 1997 at 167lbs] only for Daryl Weber - Iowa - to win 1st in 1996 at 167lbs. and Barry Weldon - Iowa State bumped weight to secure 1st in 1997 at 177lbs. Daryl Weber Mark Branch Validated - not enough champs at tourney time 1976 - 142lbs 1979 - 142lbs 1981 - 134lbs 1986 - 142lbs 1989 - 126lbs 1994 - 142lbs 1996 - 167lbs
  4. There was an upset in 1981 at 134lbs, with the 6th ranked wrestler defeating two returning NCAA champions on his way to the title. Randy Lewis - Iowa - 1st in 1980 at 134lbs, 1st in 1979 at 126lbs, 2nd in 1978 at 126lbs | Was injured in 1981... Darryl Burley - Lehigh - 2nd in 1980 at 134lbs, 1st in 1979 at 134lbs, [another 2nd in 1981, and 1st in 1983 at 142lbs] only for Jim Gibbons - Iowa State to win 1st in 1981 at 134lbs. and Clar Anderson - Auburn/OKST was waiting his chance for 1st in 1983 at 134lbs. Validated - not there 1976 - 142lbs 1979 - 142lbs 1981 - 134lbs
  5. I previously compiled a list of all D1 All Americans from 1960 to 2019 and made it available for anyone here. Check it out and experiment with the data. Below is a list of seasonal brackets where the All-Americans of that year were National Champions in any year. These stand out 6 unique NCs 2008 - 149lbs 5 unique NCs 2014 - 125lbs 4 unique NCs 1976 - 142lbs 1979 - 142lbs 1981 - 134lbs 1986 - 142lbs 1989 - 126lbs 1994 - 142lbs 1996 - 167lbs 1998 - 118lbs 1999 - 149lbs 1999 - 133lbs 2007 - 149lbs 2007 - 125lbs 2009 - 125lbs 2017 - 184lbs 2018 - 125lbs The gap in that approach is that it misses DNP National Qualifiers that were NC in other years. For example, Paul Donahoe was a 3xAA and National Champion that DNP in 2006 at 125lbs. There was a good discussion on the old forum. See the toughest weight brackets.zip
  6. We agree that that religion should not need to be a requirement. The golden nugget here is the work credit. Copy that for sure. And it is worth a deeper dive to see how the school covers the funding gap and to determine how it can be replicated.
  7. Red pill represents the right. The right does not like the government taking money from them to redistribute to others. The costs are 20K. The work program is worth 7K. The remaining 13K is covered by the college assurance, minus any eligible Fed/State grants. If John gets 10K in grants, the college covers the 3K. If Jane gets 0K in grants, the college covers the 13K.
  8. Have you chosen, or is your stance a parody?
  9. My state is Kansas. The College of the Ozarks is in Missouri. The idea that one can graduate for free in today's world with a little hard work should be copied regardless of how good Colorado's education offering is.
  10. This is probably good feedback. My job requires careful selection of word choice and having informed reasons for my opinions/decisions. While it won't win friends, I'm good with this level of care in a social topic discussion. Some of these topics are meaningful, and I discuss views with my children. What do my children think, what do I think, what do others think? I admit when I'm wrong, and I change my views.
  11. I am not familiar with that one. Are the children doing this against their parent's wishes? Like parents say, "please don't abandon me to die," and the children are like, "just die already," and leave them? Or is it a case like a woman having terminal cancer who chooses death on her terms? Not everyone is, but I'm okay with that.
  12. That's because somebody went stupid somewhere. The raccoon and coyote caught red-handed after a nice meal on my ducks do not require 30 years on death row and a drug cocktail.
  13. Killing another innocent human is seen as universally wrong across cultures, as is the golden rule. Dispatching the killer of innocents ensures they don't kill again and treat the murderer the way they treated others.
  14. 1. How many surviving preemies does it take to provide evidence the unborn is a human being? 2. Insurance is optionable. Taxes are not. 3. I already shared my opinion on Georgia and my own opinion. I am glad the law applied at the state level rather than the federal level, regardless of what the federal law was or could be. Georgia law doesn't matter as much to me as Kansas law. BTW - I support healthcare for the public. I don't have well-formed opinions on how to regulate it or how to fund it. My buddy became a step-father to a girl born with cystic fibrosis; he now owes more money than he can ever pay. That seems different than chronic diseases associated with being obese. The country should be tightening its belt and paying off its debts before spending more money it doesn't have.
  15. I already covered #3, and I'm good with compromise and legislation that is defined at the state level. #2 insurance. #1. Alive enough, but unfortunately not enough to walk, talk, and beg.
  16. Let me explain it to you. The best laws are natural laws. An example of natural law includes the idea that it is universally accepted and understood that killing a human being is wrong. It is also universally accepted that punishing someone for killing that person is right. Sayings like don't be a dick and treat others as you would want to be treated are generally understood without needing legislation. So if one believes that abortion is a homicide that often meets the definition of murder, then killing one's unborn because they don't feel like being a parent is a dick move. Now you don't agree that an unborn is a human being. Okay, that's how the viability conversation comes about... when preemies can survive at 21 weeks gestation, the debate is finished; that clump of cells is human. Prevent a mother from murdering her child? Yep! Force a child to live with a mother that does not want them? Nope! Take taxes from me to pay for unnecessary abortion? Nope! Take taxes from me to pay for shelter, food, and the health of John Robinson? Are you kidding me! Lie to me about what the Covid vaccine will do and force me to take it to keep my remote job? Please find somewhere else to exist!
  17. Education. Loan forgiveness is stupid. If you take a loan, you pay it back. Providing an affordable schooling option increases participation for low income students, and that leads to a better life and less crime. I am against paying another cent in taxes, so some other social service needs reduced funding or better education payment methods are necessary. How can the nation provide more Hard Work education options like the college of the Ozarks? https://www.cofo.edu/Cost TUITION ASSURANCE SCHOLARSHIP Each student participates in the on-campus work program for 15 hours per week and two forty-hour work weeks per school year. Credits from participation in the work program, any federal and/or state aid for which students qualify, and the C of O Tuition Assurance Scholarship combine to cover the Tuition Assurance. There are no student loans involved and there is no cash due from students for Tuition Assurance: Only good, solid, hard work. All C of O students are given the opportunity to graduate debt-free.
  18. My biology teacher told me the purpose of life was to spread my seed far and wide.
  19. If you shared the belief that the unborn are human beings, you would classify abortion as a homicide. You would question WTF is wrong with a society that is good with 500K+ innocents being terminated each year. Then HTF is this same group going to make the case that the worst people should live? 49 years of 500K+ innocents aborted due to a mother's discretion is 24.5M+. People are good with that? Across 49 years there are 190 known cases of the wrongfully convicted on death row. In 2018 there were 180K murderers incarcerated. 190/180K is ~0%.
  20. My understanding of Georgia law is this A mother can get medical treatment to address miscarriage, stillbirth, and ectopic pregnancy at any time. [This is not classified as an abortion.] A mother can legally have an abortion when anytime her life or health is at risk anytime her unborn child is detected to have a fatal defect the probable gestational age of the unborn child is 20 weeks or less, and the pregnancy results from rape or incest, in which an official police report has been filed the unborn child is yet to have a heartbeat (before six weeks) As for Georgia, the law is working the way it is intended. The state passed, and the governor signed the heartbeat bill into law in 2019. I believe that the unborn is a life that deserves to live. The unborn is not a clump of cells to be removed like a wart. In my view, the unborn has a right to live so long as it is not at the cost of the mother's life or health. In the rare case of severe and fatal birth defects, it is tolerable to spare the child from suffrage. Understandably, a biological mother would not want to parent a child from an affair, rape, or incest. These children can be given up for adoption and have a chance at a happy life rather than be terminated due to a biological parent's mistakes. Guttmacher and other surveys have repeatedly found that the overwhelming reason for abortion is that the mother is not 'ready' to parent, rather than for medical necessity. An unfit mother should give that child up for adoption rather than terminate the next potential GOAT of wrestling. My teenage sister became pregnant from a one-night stand with a coworker. Abortion was seriously considered, and my sister decided to move forward with a closed adoption. A family was quickly found (and later disappointed). When my sister was further along in pregnancy, my parents decided to raise my niece as a legal guardian and adopt her after the fifth year. After my niece was born, my sister moved to cheese country and returned in the fifth year, taking over parental responsibilities. My mother is in her 60s and recently discovered she has a half-sister from her mother's affair. Her parents adopted the baby out rather than terminating her. This is the way.
  21. What is a staggering number of cases overturned? In my view, if you have a clear-cut case like where there is video footage of someone murdering someone else in the morning, you hang'em that afternoon. WTF is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev doing alive past April 2013? Why was Edmund Kemper allowed to live after confessing to killing his grandparents?
  22. Honest question. What is the thought process that supports dispatching innocent babies in the womb while wanting convicted murderous criminals to live?
  23. Part of this discussion is pointed at 'not assuming.' Mike tried to set a trap on another discussion, and his bias prevented reading comprehension.
  24. I don't want to assume his opinion. There are two edge beliefs; the 20% that believe in legal abortion at any time for any reason, and the 10% that believe abortion should be illegal at all times regardless of the reason.
