    Why "Social Media" is great....

    The climbing ropes’ hanging down into the dark Iowa room gives Hellraiser vibes! Maybe the new Iowa Pin Chain will be named the Pinhead Chain. 🧐

    Why "Social Media" is great....

    Not to worry. It will look better in person, when the wrestlers are wearing their matching robes:

    Hodge Trophy voting (includes CStar)

    Yeah. The never-trailing part is impressive to me. To never trail, as you ~said, you need to have all heads on N coin flips. You can reduce N by getting more takedowns in period 1, and you can increase the weighting of heads for each coin flip above 50% by being able to ride out the whole period...

    Ha ha. You already know what percentage someone will answer with! 😀

    Hodge Trophy voting (includes CStar)

    That might be understating things! I suspect that some years, maybe most years, not one single wrestler achieves Aaron’s accomplishment.

    still not satisfied ...

    Cael predicted this feeling. When his hiring was announced he said: “We’re going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say: ‘Please, please, it’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore. Mr. Coach, it’s too much.’ And I’ll say: ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning...

    still not satisfied ...

    I am so spoiled that I want to break every record EXCEPT the record of breaking every record. Can it be done? Is it conceivable? 🧐

    Worst way to lose a wrestling match?

    The worst way to lose a match is to be a pair of glasses on the wrong face! 🤓

    "DT will listen to Iowa's pitch"

    I’d insist on renaming the school to something with more and stronger consonants. “Penn State” sounds strong. But “Iowa” sounds soft and gooey with all them vowels. 🧐

    Competitive eating needs weight classes.

    Most likely hypothetical 5 timers

    Good point. (And, I did not remember until reading jrod’s post that Stieber would have avoided the heavier Zain if Stieber would have come back and stayed at his year-4 weight. Thanks Jefe and jrod!)

    Most likely hypothetical 5 timers

    I agree. Being a 5 timer is probably not so impressive, to people with high standards, such as Carter and the other 4 timers, because the other 4 timers did not have an opportunity at a 5th. That makes me wonder. Which 4 timer(s) would have been least likely to win a 5th, if given a chance...

    Hodge Trophy voting (includes CStar)

    Contexlion thinks the problem is a typographical error. I prefer to think that when they said 28 matches, they meant 28 matches in base 11, which equals 30 in base 10. And 27/30 in base 10 is exactly 90 percent in base 10. 🤪

    Carter final opponent strategy

    On a related note, Askren said, very strongly, on FRL that he would attack the injured leg, and not the healthy leg. (Edit: He was debunking a listener-supplied hypothesis that attacking the healthy leg would force the injured leg to do all the work.) He thinks that it is not easy to elevate a...

    My favorite accomplishment this year

    On the subject of health, I wonder whether the magic crystals that a Ferrari is selling would help, in addition to the chemo. 🤪
