I tried to get the crowd to pick an athlete based on the color if they didn't have a favorite - If you're Team Pork Roll, root for red. Taylor Ham, root for blue. Second round I lost count and ended up running around chasing athletes down for interviews the rest of the day.

Hey, I tried that in venue … then lost track of who won.

Fan vote was HEAVY on the 75th anniversary team - which is why Gray Simons was excluded.

I’m not taking any freestyle events into consideration here @Mr. PeanutButter - this was the instance I was referring to - it also points out the weakest L.

Another angle: Who was Lee’s worst in-season loss? What about Abas? There’s at least two instances where Lee lost before a final and didn’t wrestle back. Abas was only in one consolation bracket and wrestled it to completion.

Iowa's also undefeated in fan votes since Tim Berners-Lee.

Nice find. I'd never actually seen his JC year record posted anywhere. I know he lost to longtime Greco national teamer Glenn Garrison (Clackamas) in the 97 finals.

TJ lost at least once as a freshman in junior college.

And the others two I watched (Marler and Shaffer, not the night time guy here) said “that’s usually the case, but today was a rare occurrence…” because the anchor asked “should the rain help this?” I didn’t DVR the conversation. I ran out to grab lunch and some stuff from my northern suburban Home Depot. There were 3-4 masks between there and the mall - could have been the smoke, could have been whatever reason they want. I didn’t take pictures. Sometimes people wear them, sometimes woke people wear them. As far as the scene itself yesterday, depends on what forum poster you ask on what really happened.

Typically that’s what the rain does- not yesterday. That “smoke rain” was a relatively rare occurrence - you’re free to look that up on a relatively easy search to validate how rare yesterday’s air quality was. Local meteorologists explained it at length, too. Just a couple shots from the local weather last night. You can try to make the mask thing more than it is - and it might have been for a couple of those people - but ultimately it wasn’t a great time to be outside anywhere in the Twin Cities, walking your dog or otherwise.

As an FYI: Air quality today was dogsh*t. Worst in years. Smoke from the Canadian wildfires combined with rainy conditions made it wet and everything smelled like burning.

I’ve been to Baku, Azerbaijan three times … the first place I went that I needed a passport. Another thing I can thank this sport for …

The RA on my floor my first year at that place in Norfolk was coming off a tour in the Middle East. “If you’re going to be stupid, be smart about it”

Beat her teammate on points twice.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m just kinda fat. My big fat era was about 20 years ago.

Her teammate, who was also on the cross country team.

It’s not the part of your post I was asking about, so if she is or not, it’s not relevant to my question.

Please find us one credible news report that cites Griner identifying herself as a man? I’m not a fan but and yes, her appearance has been dissed for years, but that’s not one I’ve seen anywhere legitimately.

I just hope we aren't too late for it to really create a positive for schools to have the sport - both men and women. Right now, Flag Football has added 78 women's teams in just a year across all divisions. NFL behind it. That's actual money pushing it. That's going to be the sport we have to contend with when it comes to adding programs - at the Division I level, adding programs at the P4 level for any sport probably isn't going to happen.

According to US News & World Report - this is just looking up what you've got listed and the six D1 schools. I know the rankings are always up for debate, but Iowa probably a strong #2 when it comes to its academic profile. Others for discussion National Universities 46. Lehigh 98. Iowa 209. Chatham 220. Pacific (Ore.) 231. Sacred Heart 244. Grand Valley State 244. Misericordia 259. D'Youville 273. Aurora 273. Western New England 288. Marymount 288. Wilkes 296. Oklahoma City (NAIA) National Liberal Arts Colleges 83. Ursinus 90. Washington & Jefferson 100. Augustana (Ill.) 108. Linfield 108. Luther 126. Albion 126. Central 132. Cornell College 145. Emmanuel (Mass.) 147. Presbyterian 158. Albright Regional Universities (I just listed the ones you had above) 23. Mount Union - Midwest 84. York (Pa.) - North 115. Delaware State - North 124. Lindenwood - Midwest

Hasn't been discussed here, but this officially came down the pipe this morning. https://lehighsports.com/news/2025/5/27/lehigh-university-adds-womens-wrestling-as-26th-varsity-sport Sixth D1 to add the sport, joining Iowa, Presbyterian, Sacred Heart, Lindenwood and Delaware State. Among NCAA schools, that's now 116 teams. As of this moment, there's 37 Division II schools with the sport and 74 Division III. Definitely a plus since the academic profile of Lehigh is a draw.

Sat a little too long since we had some late arrivals. Tasted fine but wasn’t super creamy. It might melt well reheated in the oven 9 on taste 6.5 on execution.

This is the spicy one. Forgot to take a picture of both of them finished. About 90 mins in. the finishing layer.

Trying a smoked mac and cheese for Monday. One will have some spice and jalapeño… the other tempered for the Dutch lineage on the wife’s side that doesn’t do heat.

On occasion. I typically stick with the IOC preferences - I never say North Korea, for example. I may drop a Nippon in a celebratory call, but medals podiums and mat calls/win calls are all by the book. Turkiye, Czechia, Côte d'Ivoire ... Germany.
