  1. To paraphrase Andy Murray correcting a reporter saying someone was the first American to reach Wimbledon finals Adeline Gray won 6 Worlds without winning an Olympic title.
  2. No, but the point is Flo has nothing to do with the local internet. Flo is passing along the UWW feed. I'm watching their feed and the UWW people are telling us the internet issue is at their end.
  3. They look like they should be raising a barn in Pa!
  4. Not sure who these hundreds are but if you're referring to ESPN or the like- they usually film from larger, better arenas. NCAAs, for example, are at professional team arenas. Flo is typically streaming from HS/mid to lower college or civic arenas.
  5. UWW tech sent us a message about them losing internet (spotty I guess). Been happening regularly this week. Maybe Elon cutting Starlink?
  6. BTW- on the audio/video issues- It's all from the UWW feed. watching that feed now- Flo can only pass it along and cut them into individual archival clips.
  7. England: Button Gwinnett, Robert Morris, William Richardson Davie. Ireland: George Taylor, William Paterson, and other delegates born on the island. Northern Ireland: James Smith, Matthew Thornton. Scotland: James Wilson, John Witherspoon, Edward Telfair. Wales: Francis Lewis. British West Indies (Caribbean): Alexander Hamilton (born on the island of Nevis). Not sure that's very few but point taken- I was really mixing groups to the original group that did come over and how many of the actual founding fathers (Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, Madison, Hamilton and others) were Deists or at least influenced by them
  8. A number of you need to actually study US History (and pre-history). For one thing, although the majority of those that became the founding fathers were at one time Christians, one of the reasons they came over was to have more religious freedom to NOT have to worship in the Anglican system. Please research the concept of Deism. An argument can be made against whether atheism was originally considered valid under their plans. Please read the couple of phrases in the Declaration- Nature's God and the Creator. What Christian do you know that uses those phrases (especially Nature's God)?
  9. I wouldn't fret over him!
  10. 1st NCAAs 1928. Ben (~2 years younger brother) was a 2x NCAA champ graduating only a year earlier than John. It might have been named after Ben but he learned from John Lampe (Iowa St teammate)
  11. He was NAIA and placed 5th there as a senior.
  12. For Lehigh- Trenge mentioned earlier. His best year to win might have been his freshman year when he had the retinal injury and he had beaten both finalists. Colin Kilrain- 3x 3rd. Seeded 3rd/1st/1st. Lost 12-11 to Ed Banach in semis soph year. Joe Peritore- 2nd/2nd/3rd. Both 2nds were to 2x Olympic Gold and 3x NCAA 1st Yojiro Uetake. Some of you know this story (mostly the Lehigh people). His junior year final had Uetake winning but he was taking it easy (they knew each other). The ref called Uetake for stalling. Uetake says- "Sorry Joe" and pinned him. As Peritore walked off the mat and passed the ref- he told him- "Next time mind you own f$%^in' business!"
  13. Why would Kevin be at EIWAs?
