They are not deeper than last year. Cornell is a clear underdog, yes. Put some respect on their name. They will 100% be right there with them, if they meet up. I guess this will be another case where people like you will only realize it when the seasons over. You really think 125, 141, 149, 157 (Haines) and 165 are unknowns?? If so, I can’t argue with you. if you know talent, you know it. If you don’t, you sit and wait till end of year and then admit it. Either way it will play itself out. but you all can convince yourself of PSU/Cornell tying in a dual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss your prediction for this dual? Lighten up, Francis. I’ve already posted. Switch 125 and 141 to PSU and 157 if Haines goes and that’s my prediction. It will be either a 12 or 18 point swing from the “tie” prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it will play itself out. but you all can convince yourself of PSU/Cornell tying in a dual The reality of PSU is that they are a dominant tournament team as currently constructed, but only a very good dual team. If some of their unproven weights turn out (125, 141, 149, 157, 165) then they will also be a dominant dual team.

And if it was Iowa or Mizzou they were predicting a tie, I would have just sat out of the discussion.

Many gents who are not fans of either, myself included, are trying to explain to you that NCAAs is not a dual. In a dual, this could be very close. You must not have paid very good attention over on the old forum. I am the Michigan schools then Michiganders then the B1G and my approach (for some time) has been that the better Penn State is the better it is for USA Wrestling. I am about as big of a Cael nuthugger as you can get from a non-Penn State guy. Also, what is incorrectly stated when saying that 125 (unproven), 141 (unknown and unproven), 149 (unknown), 157 (unknown if Haines, unproven if others), and 165 (unknown) are all.either unproven or unknown as NCAA D1 collegiate wrestlers? Facundo wins it all? I am sending many gents here a Cuban to celebrate with. Berraclaugh AAs? I am super stoked there too. The others? Same. Educate me how your prediction coming true and any of them proving themselves in 5-6 months time changes my preseason statement to be less true.

At this point in Cael's coaching career it's expected. Howard should AA, Bartlett finish no lower than 5th. Van Ness is the next Retherford at 49, Haines the next Nolf, Facundo should have a Mark Hall type of career. PSU fans expect success. There's no way Cornell should even compete with us. I agree with everything you posted. Just offering the blue colored glasses point of view. 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and the anti PSU sentiment is that guys that haven’t wrestled a full season in college won’t compete for National Championships and it’s unheard of for freshman/true freshman to compete for national titles because they’re not “proven.” Taylor, Nico, Nolf, Bo, Cenzo, Hall, Starocci, Brooks, Suriano (if not for injury) all were in or won national championship matches as freshman but according to “the board faithful” they are just “unknowns” Edited October 31, 2022 by Pish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
