Re Watching the finals: Thoughts...

Greg just dominated. Interesting that he chose not to ride, but to win in neutral. Could have been something they saw earlier, Davison had something dangerous on bottom and the safer move was to win in neutral.

Figueroa stalled the entire match. His takedown was a fluke when Ayala slipped on the Merkel. Figs should have been dinged at least twice after 5 minutes of pure stalling. I think Lilledahl is better right now than either.

The atrocity of 133 has been dissected enough 😂.

Beau had the match won, not once but twice. It's going to be interesting this year as it now looks like a 3 horse race with Alirez returning.

Henson got very, VERY fortunate as Gomez basically big moved himself completely out of the match.

Levi was far superior, but needed to wrestle smart. Smartest match I think I have seen from him. Looking at this again I am having a hard time seeing him at 174 but who knows?

Couldn't watch 165 again. Hurt too much the first time.

Was fascinated watching Ohio State complain about stalling when their guy stalled for 6 minutes and then then wrestled for one lol. Carter is the Man. 5 is coming...

Keckeisen took it with superior neutral skills but after watching it again I wonder what would have happened with DT in that corner

AB actually stretched the gap that had been thin for 2 years. Amazing wrestler and Hodge worthy indeed. Can he take Gold? Yazdani awaits...I think he certainly can and will.

Tesla - exited short sale

a few months back there was alot of Tesla stock in a few threads. I went short on the stock and made about $40 per share on this short, but could not hang on - company is a tweet away from some irrational move. one my investor friends has some real b&lls and is set to short them @ $150. he is convinced they are running out of other people's money, and has alot of guts. his logic is they cannot make affordable cars at a profit, and it is not related to being a startup - they are over 10 years old. they are a car company that is not good at cars.

i have moved to the ride hailers (Uber and Lyft) and some of the food delivery guys (they are really over hyped). i hesitated on Uber two weeks ago - and they just came through with a $5.3B loss for this qtr - mostly stock comp, but still a big business loss. stock took 6.8% hit. i thought a $35 short would be great but now the stock is $40.

NCAA loses 3rd Circuit Court appeal

I don't pretend to know the ins and outs but from what I can tell, the NCAA got smoked. It wasn't a close call. Basically, are entitled to all of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) rights and considerations.

Dont sell our opening game short

There have been a rash of articles in recent weeks declaring how good WVU will be this season. Their OL/O in general kept us busy last year.
Their D mostly kept us in check. And I believe Phil Steele thinks they will be a team to watch.

Considering opening games - especially on the road - can be fraught with surprise, I expect this to be a tough one, where a few chinks in our armor will be identified, and exploited. So it will be incumbent upon our coaching staff to show an ability to adjust/adapt/ respond to unexpected challenges, such as trailing in the 2nd half.

But this will also be the chance several players are looking for , to step up, stand out, and make a difference. It could well be a window into the future of the season. Getting your nose shoved into the mud on opening day can get your attention.

Taz Williams OV'ing to Baylor Now??

I sh1t you not...lol. I cant link but the other day on twitter Taz's close friend and former teammate Kamauryn Morgan committed to Baylor on July 7. On July 2 Taz put out a tweet saying, "where we going twin" in reference to Kamauryn. People thought hmmm. Then Kamauryn committed July 7 and it seemed Taz was just screwing around. Apparently NOT. There is a Baylor article and tweet from Baylor Insider Grayson Grundhoefer saying Taz is OV'ing to Baylor July 29.

Is this going to be another Alvin Henderson BS commitment or Kiandre Barker who's commitment is about as solid as my mid section?

NIL and the portal has ruined this f'kn game!

Film Study - Inside the Mind of Drew Allar

DREW ALLAR FILM STUDY

See link above. Video covers Allar's ability to cycle through progressions, read defenses, timing, mechanics, willingness to pass up low-hanging fruit in favor of bigger plays, and other fun stuff.

1st half of Video: Positive plays. 2nd half: Negative plays. A ton to unpack in this one. Lots of tangents - some oft-repeated on this board, some I'd never heard discussed before with plenty of different examples illustrating why the 2023 passing game was the way it was and why Allar's end-of-year statistics were so confusing and even polarizing.
