This phenomena was predicted by Trump himself in 2016. "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

Maybe, but the structure of these three year deals for undrafted free agents is highly contingent. They get paid a weekly amount during training camp. Then the headline number on the contract only kicks in if they make the 53 man roster. And none of that is guaranteed. They only get the full amount if they are on the roster for the full year.

Too late. I spent it all at Lou Malnati's

You don't get this level of context when you just look at results like I do. This is great.

Barraclough has been a spot starter for four years, appearing in 2 - 7 duals per year, but he does not have any post-season matches.

My guess is they are not looking for him to make the roster this year. They know how big a project he is. Park him on the practice squad for the year, coach him up, and see what happens. It doesn't hurt that the HC has a wrestling background. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/sean-mcdermotts-wrestling-background-helped-shape-his-life

This is something I can get excited about. I was never a fan of the fake wrestling career. Felt like a waste from the get go to me, but it was his dream so, so be it. His athleticism clearly meant nothing to fake wrestling, but it will be the only thing that can save him in the NFL.

That is some topnotch work.

230 - 240 range, I think. A real heavyweight.

Well now that he isn't pretend wrestling anymore I dropped the spurious N.

I always struggle with Earl. He was so dominant in so few matches against such undistiguished competition from only a fraction of the country, it is hard to place him. In 1928 he won two matches against guys who were never heard from again. In 1929 and 1930 he won three matches each year against four guys who were never heard from again, one who failed to AA the other time he wrestled, and one who AAd the next year. And this was at a time when 40% - 70% of the bracket AAd. But I am feeling generous. Since he has the fastest pin fall in NCAA history, I will bump Mocco, and slot Earl in at #5. And before you protest about the all mighty pin fall, be sure to review the rules in the 20's and 30's.

By 2, I mean 3

I love the open ended nature of this question. You can view the question as who was the greatest heavyweight in college using only college achievements. Or who was the greatest heavyweight in college using all achievements while in college (i.e. international results). Or who was the best heavyweight in college using a lifetime of results. Or who hit the highest peak in college while wrestling heavyweight. Something for everyone. If you only want to focus on college results, then it seems a logical starting point is to examine the list of four time all-americans first. There have been 12 wrestlers who AA'd 4 times at heavy (sorry Kyle Snyder), starting with @ionel's hero, Dick Hutton. The case for Steveson has to be based on highest high rather than any sustained success. But if that is the criteria I think Snyder pips him. Steveson has 2 AAs, 2 titles, and an Olympic Gold while in college. Meanwhile Snyder has 3 AAs, 3 titles, and an Olympic Gold while in college. Do you ding Snyder for having his gold at 97kg, or do you acknowledge that 97kg (~213 lb) is still heavy in college? For me I have Snyder, Steveson, Hutton, Haselrig, and Mocco as my top 5.

As I have often used identical criteria, I withdraw my objection, your honor.

It is fair to say he was also a D2 wrestler, just as he was also a D1 wrestler, as evidenced by those three D1 titles. Using today's distinctions to quantify the past often does not work.

A guy with 1965 in his username is worried about giving away his age?

No, it makes me Sgt. Hulka, the big toe of the army.

Lighten up, Francis. The Babylon Bee is satire.

How many times have my lawyers crushed you already? Why do you want to come back for more?

Ideally NCAA final.

Is there a more exciting match up than Andrew Alirez vs Jesse Mendez at 141 this coming season?
