  1. IIRC, Yianni joked that Elijah was better than both he and Greg because Elijah had won Fargo (which neither of his brothers did). I might be mis-remembering that, of course.
  2. He has NCAA eligibility left, but (IIRC) needs to unenroll from Cornell to avoid graduating and becoming ineligible according to Ivy rules. Of course, if he thinks he can't beat Ferrera he could graduate in December and transfer somewhere else (a la Cardenas), but that is unlikely.
  3. Having watched all these guys pretty much every time they wrestled, I'm guessing that it will be Greg D at 125 and Tyler Ferrara at 133 this year. Greg will graduate and Knox will enter the room in 2025/26 and take 125. Ferrera has three years left. (and it is "Milani")
  4. The point was that at one school there are, right now, three guys who Sotelo lost to.
  5. It'd better be a lot better. Sotelo has lost to three *current* Cornell guys over the years, and wrestlestat has him at #28.
  6. Says someone who has never competed in swimming...
  7. I was disappointed to see Yianni and Rob Koll visit the WH with (not all of) the other NCAA champions and take a photo with Trump. Same reaction when Vito went over to Trump after winning his second NCAA tournament. Neither of them were "blue collar" raised, nor from a rural area (Rochester and Long Island? Ha!).
  8. "Had." (off-topic: I did a swim workout last week with an Olympic bronze medalist from the 1976 Olympics) Everyone should follow Mondo Duplantis, possibly the most dominant pole vaulter of all time, and sheer beauty in motion. Was it the Diamond League that put Duplantis (WR PV) against Warholm (WR 400H) in a 100m match race? Great spectacle, and clever promoting.
  9. He was in possession of THC vape cartridges without a *required* medical certificate, plus some other weed-related items. As per the Lehigh Valley News:
  10. I'm guessing that Grey and Vito don't give a rat's ass about the time that Flo is starting their broadcast. Rather, they want to know when Vito will be hitting the mat. Sounds like 4:50ET (although I'll *still* be checking at 4:20ET).
  11. He can't pay me enough to listen to him, or visit his podcast or whatever it is that he does.
  12. "Should I air it all out?" screams "attention whore."
  13. Just curious about some of the Cornell (duh) standouts. Yianni with a 111-2 overall record, and only five OT matches (only one in NCAA tournament with McKenna). He never went to rideouts, winning all five in SV-1. Vito 92-9, only one OT match also won in SV-1. On the other hand, Gabe Dean was in five SV-1 matches, and six TB-1 or TB-2 matches.
  14. You have never seen professional-level eating until you've seen the weight men (shotputters, discus throwers, hammer throwers) eat at an all-you-can eat buffet on a road trip. We ate at an all-you-could-fit-on-a-plate cafeteria (IIRC, NC State?), and their architectural skills were incredible (pro tip: dark meat chicken quarters are very stable bases).
  15. Grok was making blatantly antisemitic comments and was actually praising Hitler (calling itself MechaHitler at one point?). From the BBC:
  16. Triathlete: Curler: 11-time world champion canoer: Boxer: Tennis player:
  17. For me, it's not even his attitude (although his attitude informs his behavior). If you tell a mom that her child is ugly, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, or even if it is actually true: you're still an a**hole.
  18. This is not ad hominem? I give up. I can't compete with your superior intellect.
  19. It's well known that when someone resorts to ad hominem attacks, they've lost their argument.
  20. Too bad they couldn't figure out how to correctly rank Ivy greyshirt freshmen. For instance, at 149 Jaxon Joy (who went 29-1 last year) pinned Hibler. At 165 Louis Cerchio (who went 29-6) beat Myers and majored Taylor.
  21. Accurate from my perspective. The (internet) expression "<insert person/group> would like a word" has never meant "<person/group> literally takes offense at this particular statement." A stupid example would be if I said "Kyle Dake is the only Cornell wrestler to win four NCAA titles," then someone would come back with "Yianni would like a word" without it meaning that Yianni ever saw me make that statement.
