Wrestleknownothing

As a fan parody account I read everything Ironbird says as a joke, but yes, he did complain about Woods' opponent stalling in a TF.

As anyone who has paid attention to my posts knows, there are a couple of things I hate for their laziness. The generic claims of ducking and stalling. Here we will ignore the former and focus on the latter. I loooooove @pmilk's posts on strategy. After all one man's strategy is another man's stalling. And this can be very tribal. All you need to do to see that is read some of the posts on HR by their fan parody account Ironbird. A recent perfect example is yesterday he complained that Woods would have won by more if the opponent hadn't stalled. In the same post he referred to Arnold's "tuff ride/mat returns to wear a guy down and kill some clock". You know because one is clearly stalling, but the other is strategy. Blah, blah, blah. Digging through @grogs84 data for the 1988 to 2021 NCAA tournaments I thought I would find the wrestlers who won a title while scoring the fewest points. To do this I narrowed it down to wrestlers who won all of their matches by decision on their way to a title. Let's call them the Efficient Eight (really 10 with ties, but I do love alliteration). Why score any more than you need to? It's not like you can use those extra points in later matches. Conserve energy. Don't let 'em see your moves on tape. Good luck scouting all my moves when I only use one per match, if that many. Now that is just smart wrestling. The heavies are, um, heavily represented with 6 of the 10, but it is a middleweight who shall lead them all. While it saddened me to see that no one had won five straight 1-0 matches in OT, Jason Tsirtsis at 149 in 2014 came closest, having won his 5 matches 4-1, 4-3, 2-1 (OT), 2-1 (OT) and 3-1 (OT) for a 15 point total (only 12 in regulation time, awesome). Does anyone know of any wrestlers pre-1988 or post 2021 to score fewer than the world's most efficient wrestler**? *Ok, Ten, so The Taut Ten? ** Guinness verification pending.

Not sayin'. Just sayin'.

That is not how it works. When you promote a tweet, you promote the whole tweet. This is social media 101. And a guy like this who lives on twitter, knows this. The Hitler part is impossible to dismiss.

Not incidental. He gave the final, big torque well after the whistle.

Matt Lee

Just watched his consi loss. I think Matt Lee would agree with you.

That is old Musakaev. He seems to have solved that problem.

The thing I found most hopeful was that there was only one knee sleave, no braces, and when Megaludis torqued on the sleaved knee in the first 30 seconds there appeared to be no issues for Lee. No grimace, no limp, no shaking it off, just return to center and go.

If by backed off you mean sticking to their guns, then sure, backed off. They are sticking with their three game penalty.

Yes, there is such language in the NCAA rules. The majority of the of cases at Iowa were not athletes. "The university said in a release it received information on 111 individuals in total, including 26 current student-athletes from baseball, football, men’s basketball, men’s track and field and wrestling, along with one full-time employee in the athletics department. The university also noted that "the vast majority of the individuals are student-staff, former student-athletes or those with no connection to UI Athletics." The list also does not include any current or former coaches."

You came at me with snark in response to the post where I said two matches. Go back and check it. It is there. That is why I responded with snark.

Only UM backed off. And they did so because the NCAA gave the Big10 evidence that a booster had funded the cheating (Uncle T - the most booster cheater name ever) and an assistant coach was working to destroy evidence. When the B10 shared that with UM, they magically had a change of heart and accepted the punishment.

Throwing games IS cheating.

If you are worried about the horror of others responding on a public forum you can always DM them.

Not even a little bit.

See above so you can understand the answer.

And lets remember why they give gambling suspensions. Because they are worried about the POTENTIAL for cheating that could result. Harbaugh ACTUALLY cheated. Much worse.

The school and he decided to take a preemptive suspension for the first two games against Little Sisters of the Poor and Hadley School for the Blind so that if the NCAA ruled during the season on the first offense they could say "well he already served a suspension". The cynicism of this move cannot be unerstated. And the conference just hit him with a three game ban last week, because of the repeated cynicism.

Not getting caught

Let's see. When Jim Harbaugh was caught cheating the first time it was 2 games. The second time, after he said Michigan would now be the gold standard of compliance, it was 3 games. So let's go with two matches. Of course, there is a minor, tiny, I am sure, inconsequential difference. Jim Harbaugh and the school that wants a national championship this season, right now, so bad that it can taste it, can, and will, pay for the most expensive lawyers TV money can buy.

I love that there is a cadet named Gunner. I only regret his last name is not Tail.

I checked every college roster and I could not find a Steveson. But then I wandered down to the Largo Events Center, past the bingo set up to where they had cranked the basketball nets up and out of the way....and THAT is where I found a Steveson. Not sure if that is the same guy. This guy had a hollow-eyed, lost look of regret.

I have worked at companies as large as 25,000 and as small as 15. My experience with large companies has been varied depending on ownership structure. The 25,000 employee public company did not cut corners on anything. A 13,000 person company owned by private equity was a poor experience as they sought to lever up the business and pay themselves bonuses. That does not in any way describe Apple, Oracle, or IBM. They are massively profitable, tech native, brand sensitive companies. They are not short changing marketing. Apple spent $1.8 billion on advertising, marketing, and promotions in 2020. IBM spent $1.3 billion in 2022. They treat these line items as investments, not as set it and forget it. You argument makes no sense to me.
