  1. I don't tend to "treat" myself much unless its a celebration of some kind. If I have a beer with the dual, probably a yellow jacket.
  2. Interesting how last year Haines was 157 and Pinto was 184. Now both are 174. I hope Pinto does something to make it interesting (he's usually good for that)
  3. Being the most likely candidate does not mean earning the job. I like Scott, but I feel like it's a little bit of entitlement mentality to say he should have been given it because of XYZ. We can put ourselves in the best position to succeed, but it does not entitle us to success (in my opinion). I'm rooting for him, but I'm not sure that he was necessarily wronged by anyone.
  4. I went to Northeastern several decades back. Their best sports team was ice hockey. When we played Boston College - the fans chanted "Safety School" at us. 20 years later, and Northeastern has a lower acceptance rate than BC (6.8% vs 16.7%)
  5. Your probabilistic approach to team scores have been one of those things that after the fact seems so obvious - and yet - you're the only one I see doing this forecasting approach in the general wrestling sphere. kudos to you sir
  6. Sometimes the dice just don't come up in your favor. Hope the best for him
  7. great question. I'd have to think there isn't much more diverse than you can get!
  8. You could also argue that given PSU is going to win the team race no matter what, wouldn't you root for the person who is more likeable?
  9. so you're an anti-anti-christ guy huh?
  10. I'm gonna put out one expected and one sleeper: Nick Feldman and Owen Trephan
  11. for someone to pull the fire alarm
  12. Trumble believes in his own strength too much against someone who is clearly stronger. He shouldn't be engaging in muscle contests here
  13. Surber looks like an all american this year. I'm buying in now if its not too late
  14. I was wrong. Surber for the tech fall!
  15. This has the feeling of a solid decision by Surber over Knopp. Somewhere in the realm of a 7-2 score.
  16. That last club was vicious from Fishback
  17. Fishback has a chance against Plott. He's no favorite, but definitely has a chance.
  18. He had plenty after the whistle lol
  19. I interpret it is ESPN voicing, not so passively, that they do not believe that riding time should be a thing. Using their influence very strategically
  20. Cam Amine feels like the Beau Bartlett for the Cowboys in the sense of - the most conservative guy on the team and least likely to score bonus in a standard match. Bartlett being higher ranked in his respective weight class of course, with a non-zero chance of winning the title.
  21. Since David Taylor arrived, the Cowboys have nearly matched the aggression of the Nittany Lions. A lot of good teams out there with guys who wrestle very conservatively. Leaves them vulnerable to an upset, IMO. If you truly believe yourself to be better than your opponent, you want to open up the match as much as possible so you have wrestling opportunities to demonstrate this belief. That philosophy resonates with me.
  22. Koy Buesgens stock photo has blood all over his nose lol
  23. It offered us a chance for a new beverage /silver lining
  24. I'm not really familiar with Tracy. he looks long for the weight
