Trying to negatively insinuate it’s "White" nationalism is unfair, lazy minded, and racist because it blames skin color when it’s really about losing culture. We used to all speak English (90% back in the ‘50s), but now it’s 75%. Kids used to know our history (80% did), but now it’s just 45%. And we went from 80% watching the same shows to under 10%. Stuff we shared is fading for everyone (not just whites). The non-Hispanic White population’s HAS dropped from over 85% in 1970 to about 56%. We don’t care about the skin color part; we care about the shared culture tied to it. American culture is eroding for the worse... Trust in each other’s down from 60% in 1970 to 25% now, kids who feel they belong in school fell from 85% to 70%...

Original Bracket Predictions from WrestleStat (using wrestler comparison) Now that I look at it... need to update the 17-33 seed such that tie in predicted wins are defaulted to pick the higher numbered seed. MJ Gaitan is a better pick than Desiante...

Correction in my comment. There was a time between the original prediction and after round 1 where Braxton Brown was predicted to be an AA. Now he is not.

Original Bracket Predictions from WrestleStat (using wrestler comparison)

Updated Bracket Predictions with actual round 1 incorporated. Wrongly predicted Van Dee to upset Miller. Missed the following upsets Oakley over Rini Shawver over Spidle Farber over Noto The wrestler seeded 17-33 with most wins remains Farber, Julian (Seed 18, Northern Iowa, 3-2). His predicted win count increased from 2 to 3 wins. The top 7 AAs remain the same. However Braeden Davis has been bumped from #8 and replaced by Braxton Brown (Seed 9, Maryland, 4-3) AA predictions have changed from 6-8 McGonagle, Connor (Seed 6, Virginia Tech) drops from #6 to nada. Serrano, Dominick (Seed 5, Northern Colorado) drops from #7 to #6 Frost, Evan (Seed 11, Iowa State) improves from #8 to #7 Davis, Braeden (Seed 8, Penn State) improves from nada to #8

After preliminary and round 1 14 of 17 match winners correctly predicted. Picked Gallagher and Flynn with upset wins. Did not pick Moran to win by upset. Still expect same AA placements and Gallagher with 17+ seed with the most wins. Updated Bracket Predictions

WrestleStat - Original Bracket Prediction Preliminary (32) Milani, Marcello, Cornell, 16-11 over (33) Weiand, Caleb, Michigan State, 12-16, by a score of 7-4. Championship Consolation

They got the W in my universe. Back to back in 2021.

And again.

It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much – the wheel, New York, wars, and so on – whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man – for precisely the same reasons. Curiously enough, the dolphins had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth and had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger; but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits, so they eventually gave up and left the Earth by their own means shortly before the Vogons arrived. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’, but in fact the message was this: So Long, and thanks for all the fish. In fact there was only one species on the planet more intelligent than dolphins, and they spent a lot of their time in behavioral-research laboratories running round inside wheels and conducting frighteningly elegant and subtle experiments on man. The fact that once again man completely misinterpreted this relationship was entirely according to these creatures’ plans.
