Eagle26 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I know there’s a lot of talk about how this Penn State team supposedly under performed, but I honestly believe they proved they are the best TEAM ever. All 10 wrestlers in the top 6 in the country has never been done before, and it is truly an insane accomplishment! We all know tournament scoring favors a top heavy performance (ex. 5 champs and 5 0-2 could win the tournament). IMO that’s not the best way to measure a total team. I’ve always been impressed by Minnesota’s 10 AAs (they had no finalists and two guys get 8th). Penn State has already topped that with all guys top 6 and 3 finalists. Regardless of what happens today, we have never seen a team like this before! 2 1 1
4awrestler Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I’m not sure how Davis got the call of no TD for Frost but that match should have at least went to OT. 10 AAs is impressive but that was a very questionable call that allowed for it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

MLB9 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 He can’t, just basing it off some arbitrary completely random Jimmy category like semifinal losses. Just need ja to show up and circle of hate is complete. I would argue with the depth and FACT of 10 AA’s all in the top six, it would be the greatest dual team of all-time. Tournament scoring will probably be the 3rd best in history. “Not close”, good lawd
jajensen09 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 By far not the best team ever. As I have said over and over. This is not the Penn state team of old with 4/5 champs. Other teams have closed the gab tremdously. OK State and Nebraskas coaching staff is very very impressive and catching Penn state at an alarming rate 1
Dark Energy Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Yes, best team ever. 8 in top 4!!! Others top 6!! Holy crap!!! Yes, no doubt best overall team ever. No debate.

MLB9 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Saying it over and over doesn’t make you right @jajensen09, just solidifies the idiocy. Here come the herd of Nebraska 7th placers, and this is why the dual went 31-7. Another beatdown. Penn State doesn’t quit on the backside like Lovett did last year. THAT is coaching and culture

Look at what each team graduates and fills those slots with. The alarming issue will be whether PSU threatens 10AAs again next year and a 30+ point margin of victory at NCAAs.

They're 50 points ahead of second place, and that lead is growing.

Caveira Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I mean. Do you need champs or a balanced team. When you assign accolades to yourselves you can’t seem to agree on the rules now can you.

I would use that to argue some assertions, but it’s neither here nor there really. I don’t have a problem with Iowa or Nebraska, just a dislike of Jimmy and ja’s operations. I generally like and respect Nebraska, it’s only personal with a certain poster. Especially when he starts calling out coaches. @jajensen09, did you know that Penn State’s lowest placer is higher than 60% of Nebraska’s team?

Dark Energy Posted March 22 Posted March 22 And the squad is kicking ass in third place bouts. Amazing.
roguetrader Posted March 22 Posted March 22 The PSU guys seem pretty ready to find bonus points on the backside. LL pins Ramos. Even Beau was close to pinfellery in this 3rd place bout. That is IMPRESSIVE team effort. For the team. Often wrong, but never in doubt.
Eagle26 Posted March 22 Author Posted March 22 8 guys in the top 3 is just ridiculous!! AND we all know Kerk would have very likely taken third even with a bum knee if he chose to wrestle. They have a great chance to set the points record too. Best team ever without a doubt now!
Pinnacle Posted March 22 Posted March 22 This Penn State squad is 4 points from breaking their all time scoring record set last year. They just showed us all how damn tough they are .
