Guess who has two thumbs and wins no matter what? THIS GUY. Allred wins? Upset. Hidlay wins? Upset. This board? Upset.

I was paraphrasing what he told you, but would anyone be surprised if that was factual?

I don't love to hate on him, I hope he wins although it is an uphill battle against Brooks and nothing more than bid timing of having the same years of birth. The same for Hayden and Nolf. I simply pointed out that he loses and I wouldn't be surprised if he is a paper tiger by way of omg how could the #1 seed ever lose and everyone lost their damn minds. This is why they wrestle the matches instead of deferring to WrestleStat.

Swimming is dumb. Do you know how denigrating it is to be top 5% on the bike and top 3 on the run but because you're such a slow swimmer you don't even finish in the top 60 of a triathlon?

"You don't pay for FloOutages and you don't seem interested in having an adult conversation about your issues so I see no reason to continue interacting on twitter. Have a nice day."

And Hidlay has shown himself to be susceptible to multiple in-season losses 5x so far and counting. So as my original thesis stated: I could see this

Yep sounds like the same guy. All I said was Allred winning would hardly surprise me. How many times does Allred have to be the underdog before people put some respeck on his name?

The same paper tiger Hidlay who only got *4th last year and 5th in '22 at NCAAs last year and drops matches every year?

I could see this and would not be surprised in the slightest if Allred puts him on his head at some point. Matchups make matches and the Hidlay underhook could lead to some test flights. Allred gets the luxury of 99.9% of the match played on the edge so he has nothing to lose if he opens up.

Did anyone think Schultz would show up after what happened last year? Zeke is going to protect him to a top 2 seed (either Kerk or illuminati Gable will do undefeated at B1Gs for the #1). If Hendrickson is as banged up as we think, Davison was likely going to not only ruin the rest of his season but there would be concern for career-altering further damage because he has a real mean streak on the mat and is a legitimate finalist contender this year even if no one is injured and needs to be respected as such. That's not to say he is a dirty wrestler because he isn't, but if you step on the mat then everything is fair game at this level and he will beat you up. I for one hope Davison meets up with the no-necked Pillsbury Throwboy at NCAA semis and runs through him with horsepower doubles from hell because I'm petty like that. (obligatory I hope he wins a greco medal and breaks the drought)

Simple solution: adopt the international model and just give out 2 third place trophies.

Ooooh someone just wants me to quintuple down on the gamesmanship coming out of Happy Valley. Well fine. I can keep going. At this rate I’ll exponential down on myself more times than Katie Ledecky has world medals.

Everyone always complains about the equipment of wrestling being a barrier of entry to the sport, but swimming is going to pull in 3x viewership on a number of aggregated live streams with half the clothes. Are you listening USAW? Peacock + Youtube + CNBC + NBC + USA Swimming Network. You know what I don't see? FloSwimming.

Hopefully they know if NLWC plans to sign up for Senior Nats because they ain't registered yet!

If you're going to throw out a cool term like Psych Sheet then it better have me ready to run through a brick wall. There is a reason we call it The Blood Round....

Either Hendrickson is hurt or Kerk finally took The Leap. We will find out in a few days.

Uh oh Schultzy is protecting his seed again. Very concerned for Hendrickson/Davison. While Davison is definitely a 15-25% to make NCAA finals type, if Hendrickson is as banged up as we all think then he is going to have a not-so-fun weekend and he may not even make it to the finals. And if he is healthier than we think then what does that say about Kerk? Curious to see how Bastida performs with a full slate of dancing bears. Historically, and especially recently, successful undersized heavies are prolific offensive machines and that is certainly not how anyone would categorize Bastida. But I also would not be surprised to see him run through the bracket. He will be a bad matchup throughout the course of the season and that theme begins this weekend.

In 5 short weeks there will be more Ferraris than Ferentz on the Iowa campus. Strange times.

This Bears game is going to be death by a thousand paper cuts. Should my nightcap be my favorite scotch or my current favorite bourbon?

Now I'm quadrupling down on how correct I am. This includes: We landed on the moon. Jury is still out whether there are Decepticons hiding on the dark side of the moon and Pink Floyd didn't give any guidance in that department. And while Kubrick had some masterpieces, he also had some real stinkers. No way he would have filmed as well as what we got. J6 they should all face criminal charges with actual consequences and that includes The Hamberdler but nothing will happen to him because that's the way the world really works. America was much closer to ripping apart that day than many seem to be able to acknowledge. Also, Hawley is a pussy. I really want to take his stupid fist and make him start hitting himself in the face with it until he cries uncle. 9/11 was awful. But like they say, dank memes melt steel beams. What do Pete Carroll and Aaron Rodgers know that they aren't telling the rest of us? See, I'm not a knucklehead. I'm always right, even if I need to be updated on occasion.

Cox is already in - anyone who made a world or olympic team 2018-2023 is qualified. I do know this to be factually correct.

That's it now I'm tripling down.

After my Keuter prediction I am henceforth doubling down on all bad takes. No way I could ever be wrong.

So you didn’t read that other important part about those already qualified? Or you just wanted to be a knucklehead?
