Dark Energy

You forgot the most abundant thing in the universe (according to current mainstream theory)

Money. It does things. Much good, but also bad. When once we had colleges that sought to balance mind and body, that saw the benefit sport … the boost in esprit de corps, the creation of bonds within the school community but also connections to their local communities and other similar schools. Student athletes. Fun sport. Good stuff. Hmmm, and then … realizations. Good sports teams help create active alumni donors … let’s invest and earn ‘revenue’ from the effort of these student athletes. Wait, we can sell tickets and get ad revenue! Let’s invest more and make more money from them …. And the slope was slippery. Millions and millions made. Powerhouses created. Rich people with desire to influence and gain prestige are attracted like moths to the light. Early incentives are morphed and altered. New incentives rise.

D3 - thank you!!

Break from yard work. How know who is coming up on what mat? Floarena doesn’t have this.

Zahid gases again. Brooks looked great as well.

Ok. Nice work vs McKenna. I’ve wanted to see Nick vs Yianni. Going to see it. Nick looking good.

That said, lace techs — still don’t like them.

Vito - beast mode. 1 min Tech. That drag to TD to lace … beautiful.

?? Pls say more.

Steveson could have wrestled Hvy in college - didn’t. So another guy - Parris - wins Hvy title AND the Hodge … basically best college wrestler. Steveson and Parris meet in US Open. Freestyle .. is a TD battle. Steveson lays waste to Parris. 11-1. Comical. All hail Gable Steveson.

Ref calling stalemate with Brooks in good positions vs Hall. 2 times. Brooks winning 4-1. Now 6-1. Hall just doesn’t have elite offense.

Breath a sigh of relief? Hahaha.

Starocci looked in serious pain with right knee after strong Dieringer double. But Starocci is continuing. Surprised. Dieringer up 4-0. Restarting down on mat. D with gut wrench. 6-0. Honestly not getting it. Knee is wrapped heavy. Clearly has issue. Not going to get on world team. Wants Olympics - don’t you pull plug and work on healing and recovering? Why risk worse injury?

Nolf handling O’Toole. 9-0 end of first. The levels to this game just blow me away sometimes. Levels upon levels. —— edit to add - 2nd period going better for O’Toole. Got a TD. 9-2. Nolf was breathing heavy. No offense in 2nd. O in deep but Nolf gets away. Nolf on D through 2nd.

Some people are vile.

I swear some felt Nick Lee was the second coming. Was it because of his backside run at OTTs? Or was there more to it?

Just watched it. Wow. 2 TDs and 2 feet to backs. 12-0 first period. He is awesome.

Gotta go Nolf by wide margin. Yet, I’m intrigued. Some fantastic scrambling perhaps.

Demolition according to score.

Cardenas looks like he handled Buchanan — ok, semi close until late into second period. Cardenas got a TD and lace. Buchanan leg injury coming out of it.

Huh? Can’t be tough if wear headgear? Ok. I’d say it helps him look smart. Hockey players that wear head protection - would you say they are not tough? Nah, I’d say they are smarter than those that don’t.

61 is deep. So is 65. 79 looks good.

Perhaps Fix just wanted some press. See how his news would cause a flutter. Or, didn’t make weight, or sh$t happened.

Why does this matter to the thread?

If they change the rules, simply riding will be stalling. RT point incentivizes and rewards this kind of ride - a stall ride.
