Yeah, it'd just be their lines to make it to the CFP Championship. Probably not as good of odds as you'd think.

ETH is is going to 20K in the next 12 months...or at least I've been counting on that for a while. Now just need China and Nvidia to work something out. B30 approval would be... nice.

Arch Manning... Though, I don't have any idea who is even starting for Ohio State in most places. I know they have that freak at WR who'll be a top 3 pick(probably with Arch) in 2 years, but... no idea this year.

Pretty sure that was "with the program." Wasn't the "OR ANYTHING ELSE," the question you wanted clarification on? Trump talking about screwing a 10 year old in the future would fit under that umbrella of ANYTHING ELSE.

Powell was pretty Dovish at his Jackson Hole speech and gave the impression a cut was coming. Not the 50 basis points and ALMOST definitely not a 2nd one this year(6 cuts were originally predicted before the tariffs and the Big Beautiful Bill) but... finally some cut.

Is that the standard now? As long as you can LEGALLY say something, it's cool for the President to say it? Or me? If I walk past your 10-year-old daughter and say I'll be dating her in 10 years, I mean, that's protected speech, right? That'd be part of the "anything else." Talking about your daughters tits. That may be part of the problem. No problems.

My bad. Heroes and I was mixing up the "rolled up sleeves" controversy with the "tan suit" controversy. Both were VERY serious at the time!

I mean, I think he has a realistic shot of beating those guy. I don't think his chances of beating TWO when you add...Taylor who's bigger, Feldman, Kueter with his length, that's more my issue. But maybe I'm wrong. I'd just have him more in the Rd12-AA range than a guy who loses in the Semi's or Wrestle's back to the Consolation Semis.

It's kinda right there in the sentence. "Off season free." So did you have Cheerleaders? Did they make a big deal about Freestyle State? We had a regional training center at my School for a while. The Freestyle State had fewer people at it than an early season Tournament. And I Wrestled things like Northern Plains in Iowa and... I don't know, lots of tournaments in Iowa. They didn't pack the place for Freestyle. Kids weren't coming off the Lake to drive 2-3 hours to watch me Wrestle Freestyle.. but there were an awful lot to watch Folkstyle. I really don't think most of my HS friends or friends of guys on other teams cared much. They just wanted to come... get drunk and watch Wrestling. If Freestyle was in Feb, they'd come and watch that... and be obnoxious and loud. If Folkstyle was in May... they wouldn't care. They like what they're accustomed to and mostly, skipping School on Friday and partying for a weekend.

Olympic Gold NCAA Worlds That'd be my guess... I think Freestyle is a bad fit as it's not often televised, it's streamed and mostly on Flo or they've got some Scottish guys talking about this "fight" and...they're bad. And I don't want Folkstyle ruined with a pushout rule. The rules are... mostly fine as they are now. I agree with that much.

Yeah... I guess if I see him as 4th, to me that's a title contender. But that was the only part of that projection I disagreed with.

It was 20 years ago. And they still have overwhelming support from the general population. MAYBE that support will have shrunk in the aftermath of Oct 8th, but... I don't think their opinion of Israel has.

The opposite is true in both cases as well. We did take in Jews. I'm pretty sure you're referencing the most notorious example when we turned away... I don't remember, but I thought it was thousands of Jews away from Florida on the St. Louis. Well... SOME Palestinians and some in the Arab world worked with the Nazi's. You had over 70% who approved of Oct 8th. You think the events that have since transpired would make them MORE likely to live peacefully together? No, it'd just turn into a War Torn State in the entire region. I believe the Jews WOULD live peacefully... I don't think the Palestinians would. That doesn't mean I think they should keep going... though I don't see Palestine stopping. At least not until the Crown Prince is back in Iran or some other form of Govt' that's not propping up the terrorists in Palestine or whatever you'd call this one-state.

The two sports aren't really all that similar. Baseball is disproportionately impacted by luck. There's a reason why the last ~50 years you've pretty much only seen Iowa, Okie State, Penn State, Iowa State AZ St, a year of Minny, OSU in there and...that's going back to Bobby Kennedy's assassination. Lets take the best Wrestler on Penn State and the best player on the Yankees(and best RHH Hitter arguably ever). What are the chances Mesenbrink is perfectly healthy and just terrible in the post-season or at least about 75% of what he is in the regular season? They're pretty low, right? Yet with Judge... they're not so low. It's been the last 5 post-seasons. So... I get what you're saying, things can change, but the best team ALMOST always wins in Wrestling. The Best team in Baseball... the most TALENTED team, most dominant team... they usually don't win. You can hit a ball 110 MPH off the bat and it gets caught or you can hit a ball 19 MPH off the bat like the '01 World Series when Luis Gonzalez singled on a blooper to CF off the greatest closer of all-time. Baseball dynasties are incredibly rare. Wrestling Dynasties are not. Also, Wrestling is not really a team game. It's an individual sport in which you just add up all the individual scores. So... not the best analogy.

Yeah... until ANY of these guys lose a match, then it'll be "can Penn State finish top 3?"
