Pinfall

1933 had five pinfalls in eight weight classes. 1955 also had five pinfalls, but in ten weight classes. But bouts were longer then. For example, one of the 1933 pinfalls occurred at 12:12. In the 10 weight, 7 minute era (1982 to present) the most was two pinfalls in 1987 and again in 2011. The shortening of matches led to a big drop in finals pinfalls. It has been three tournaments without a pinfall in the finals. If there are none this year it will tie the longest streak of tournaments without a pinfall (1974-1977, 1994-1997, 2003-2006).

I cannot read the article as it is behind the paywall so it is difficult to assess your quote, but their money is not gone. SVB has a classic maturity mismatch (the definition of a bank), took a lose selling some long term bonds and foolishly tried a recapitalization a day after Silvergate announced their own problems. SVB depositors panicked and asked for too much of their deposits back.

How did you get this picture of me?

De-compactify is my new favorite word.

The irony keeps piling up. Not only did I use ironic correctly, but you incorrectly posted an article about the incorrect use of irony. Are you starting to see the irony? I doubt it.

Ironic that you say you can't look at one situation and then look at one situation. I am not looking at one situation. I am looking at the totality of all situations. And when you do that you see that Big 10 wrestlers get seeded higher in spite of their loses.

Think about that for a second. The post I was responding to said that the Big 10 gets screwed by wrestling each other, but Brooks' lose was a non-conference match.

Nice. Safe travels. I am jealous. Not going this year.

Is here Alaska?

Is that you, Kevin?

I think the actual quote was: "Sometimes the Lord brings you low, the rest of the times it is my ankle pick." - Cael Sanderson

But the RBY one was in private.

More interestingly, based on PSU's seeds and the empirical results of all seeds (not just PSU) from 2010 - 2022, the expected number of champions for PSU is 1.5. Does anyone want to take the under?

AK, AK, AK, why do you have to exaggerate? It is actually 0.00002%. It goes a little something like this:

I think Yianni would be least likely. He has gonna 13 straight regular decisions at NCAAs.

You may want to catch up on the rules and associated interpretation the NCAA issued earlier this year. They say the opposite.

How good of a swimmer did you need to be to gain respect? No reason for the question. Just a random thought.

I don't think that is his style. In years past when they asked him about a seed (maybe Berge?) he responded, "he got what he earned". And RBY said Cael told him right before his first final, "In 10 years no one will remember this." He is more about taking pressure off than piling it on or playing the us against the world, no one believed we could do it card.

The idea that the Big 10 broadly gets screwed in seeding does not hold up this year. While the Big 10 1 seeds are all undefeated, I do not think anyone has a problem with 1 lose Yianni Diakomihalis, or to a lesser extent, 1 lose Parker Keckeisen as a 1 seed. Big 10 2, 3, and 4 seeds have more loses on average than the same seeds from every other conference. And when you compare them to the next most represented conference, the Big12, they have more loses at every seed (where they both have wrestlers) all the way down to the 9 seed.

Me too. Unfortunately I do not have prior year records. Sorry.

I felt a little dirty typing that title. Maybe Jimmy is getting to me. Of course, there are no easy weights. But I think the consensus is that 165, with 3 returning champs, is the toughest. To get the debate started I give you the cumulative winning percentage, wins, and loses by weight sorted by win percentage.

Post pandemic there has been a lot of "load management" and fewer tournaments to fatten up win totals.

I would not discount the planning and adjustments options of the PSU staff/wrestlers. Dean could not penetrate Allred's defense in their earlier match. And he could not stop Allred's shots. If Dean can find a way to finish/get past Allred's defense then he spends less time defending Allred's shots. I have no idea what that adjustment might be, but I know that PSU has a very good history here. I am not calling for a Dean win, but I do think that no one should be surprised if he did take the re-match.
