I would not be surprised to see 6 champs, in fact I bet many PSU fans will predict it.

headshuck Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If they get the calls like they did with Max Dean’s title walk, 7 or 8 is definitely possible. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think one of his athletes, who appears to worship him, would use a substance that "Coach Cal" did not tell him to. Do you think that with all the blood tests that they say the Treigning Lab has them perform, that an athlete would be on EPO without the great Coach Cal noticing a unexpected ridiculously high RBC or some other marker?

Honestly I just remembered I wrote in a different thread that I wouldn’t be shocked if they got 7. But then I did the math and the probability based on my own personal odds was like 0.1%, so I guess that “should” be shocking. But that was a few weeks ago and my odds for Bartlett and Haines would increase since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle26 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 How about if they get 7+ champs?That would be extremely impressive, but I honestly wouldn’t be shocked at 7. I do think 8 or more certainly qualify as shocking. Unless by wrestlers on the mend he means Shane Van Ness is ready to go… then they would even have a chance at all 10!

(I know, not gonna happen but still crazy to think about) I wonder if attaining 7 champs (even 6) would be enough for local PA media to acknowledge such an incredible achievement. Based on 24 years of residence here, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you allowed to wrestle with COVID these days? Do they even test for that anymore? If you feel crappy, do they just say "hope you feel better"? Or do they do a COVID test? If so, is a positive a mandatory "do not wrestle"? Or is it like a cold or flu? You can wrestle if you feel well enough. And speaking of a cold or flu, if you can wrestle when you feel well enough with a cold or flu, is there a protocol that takes into account the other wrestler? Or is it just a gentlemen's agreement? I won't wrestle if I think I am sick so I don't get you sick. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't wrestle if I think I am sick so I don't get you sick. My guess is that it's handled on an individual school or program level. I don't think NCAA and conferences don't have any rules or monitoring anymore, just "guidance" on how to handle testing, isolation, etc. Hard to know for sure, but it sounded a little bit like Northwestern postponed their dual with Illinois last month because the team got hit with Covid and did a five day isolation. Some others thought it might have been ringworm, also plausible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le duke Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I assume that was Cael's way of saying that a bunch of his starters have been sick with CovidPer a guy who works at the student health center at PSU, they’ve had a massive spike in flu cases the last couple weeks. Apparently it lingers a while, too. Might explain Nagao, Starocci, Kerk, etc missing matches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
