I wish they would mic up Tom and Terry

Welcome to the dark side

Robb pays for shutting down.

Why is Lovett off the gas?

Another D that shoulda been an MD

When he goes, he is great. Would love to see him go more.

Hardy must not have any ligaments in his knees.

10-4 Van Dee. Would have been nice to see him go for the MD though.

Great scramble from Van Dee

Take the mat

Self-reported? Then you are on. For all the money in the world. I am going to need to do a credit check.

He did say reporters were aaking the wrong questions of the wrong people.

I'm going bowling this weekend. I will replrt back on all my pin knock downs.

Ok, so prove me wrong. Take the time, do the work.

Soccer is so far outside of the top 100 in the US. I am guessing cricket is outside of the 1,000? 10,000? And yes, I said soccer. Which is a British term.

Looks like pics from his official visit. He did say in a podcast that he had been admitted to the university prior to the Soldier Salute.

Everyone agrees it is a farce. We just disagree on who is to blame for the farce.

It is even narrower than that. It is the NFL's world, we just live in it. Top 100 Broadcasts of 2020 - 2023 I read recently that NFL games had an absurd 93 of the 100 most watched broadcasts of 2023. With the Super Bowl pre-game show the total for the NFL goes to 94. Crazy. No wonder NBC was willing to pay a rumored $110 million for the broadcast rights to a single playoff game. And you will notice that no other sport made the top 100. Three college games, the Thanksgiving parade, the State of the Union Address, and the Academy Awards rounded out the top 100.

Yes, please, and thank you.

How did I miss that? Another detail to love.

I love every detail of that story. Very uplifting.

Using the match by match data from 1988 to 2021 and then adjusting for expected increases in bonus points given the three point takedown, I finally got around to working up bonus point estimates by seed. So now I can estimate total team scores rather than just advancement and placement. Of course there will be variation, but let's not let that stop us from making a fool of ourselves. I know some people thought PSU had a shot at the total points record this year, but boy is that looking unlikely at this point. And even with Van Ness it was looking improbable. Using the latest round of rankings from Intermat and the new estimates we get the following scores out to 20 places: While the team race is not exactly close, it is also not quite the blowout it was expected before the season started when PSU was favored to more than double second place. To reach 170.5 (the record adjusted for current scoring methods) PSU will need Braeden Davis (currently not ranked at 125) to make a big splash AND to significantly outperform their seeds (they often do) AND score a lot more bonus points than normal (not really this version of PSU's especiality). Call me skeptical. A 49 point gap is just too big. It feels like there are 9 or 10 (I see you anOSU) teams with a realistic shot at the podium. That should make it one of the more exciting tournaments in a long time.

@nhs67 and @ILLINIWrestlingBlog yeoman's work these past two days. Thank you.

If the tie breaker was style points Schults woulda won. Writing your name in magic marker on your singlet is tough.
