And Lee has General Grant's autobiography in the original handwritten manuscript.

That's a basketball expression and if you try to translate it to wrestling, you maybe get the opposite lesson. No one thinks that shooting as often as possible is wining basketball. The key is to get good shots. What constitutes a good shot is different for different guys. But everybody needs to shoot at the right time, not the wrong time.

You hear it from coaches time and again about a guy who just lost or even a guy who just won: He's so good, he just needs to get after it more, he just needs to be more aggressive, he just a bit more confidence in his offense, we just wanna see him shoot more. It begs the question. Is there any wrestler this side of Spencer Lee who shoots enough? Do the reluctant shooters know something that the coaches don't know? Of the many who do not shoot enough, why? Is there any data one whether guys who shoot more get more takedowns or do bad things happen when you shoot too much (or even just enough)?

Does any other college team do anything like this? I just looked on Penn State's website for tickets to the Iowa match. There are tickets selling for as much as $500 and many selling for over $200. I assume these are all resale prices. But does any other team-- now or ever-- have sales like this?

Anyway, do you have a better explanation? How many of your 3,274 AAs had the same name as another AA where the name is less fake than "Brad Smith"?

I always wonder how people think they can between tell guys who weigh exactly the same that one is bigger or, even, "the biggest." Was Dake "bigger" than Molinaro? Taller, yes. But Molinaro was bigger in the arms, in the chest, in the neck and in the yada yada. So who was bigger?

That's because most guys named "Brad Smith" change their names after everybody assumes it's a fake name. Frank Molinaro and Dustin Kilgore were both named Brad Smith at birth and both changed their names, coincidentally at age 13. True story.

What makes you think they did not gain weight when they went up? Even if a boxer held belts at more than one weight, fights are spread out by months. There is plenty of time to gain weight when you go up (or simply not cut) and to cut weight when you go down.

I basically agree, but with one qualification. The fact that Dake gained 25 pounds in college (all while having minimal body fat) shows he was really a kid when he won at 141. This observation is in line with him winning as a true freshman. When he won at 141, he was a a boy. When he won at 165 had gained grown man strength.

Funny. I dated the same girl also in college.

How much is a shitload? Does MMA announce the purse before a fight? Do they publish salaries? If not, does anyone on the outside know how much any MMA fight takes home?
