College wrestling was back 3 weeks ago. PSU just avoids it is much as possible until conference duals start

It was more a general statement here at the start of the season, everyone’s season is pretty new, first competitions, first few competitions. 
PSU seemed pretty busy over the summer, sorry your team wasn’t as busy. But glad they’re all back!!

Always an excuse. Always lame.

Not an excuse and not lame. Just facts of this season. The whole team wrestled on world teams this summer. Again, sorry your team didn’t get the chance. 7/10 were at U23s like 3 wks ago. Anyone expecting some stellar start to this year was delusional. You won’t like this either, you’re bitter, I get it, but they do get more work in the room than most of these matches, and Cael’s formula has been light on events his whole time here, it works, they win. I’d like to selfishly see more competitions but I don’t get a say. Cael has disliked the National Dual format forever, it’s his team and his call. Again, wish PSU was there, it’s good competition and they would romp and stomp their way thru. But again, given the busy summer, his stance on National Duals and a lighter load typically, it wasn’t gonna happen. It’ll be ok. They’ll win and you’ll complain. Lather rinse repeat.

Yeah, I read all that on the psu forum already. Don’t try to pawn it off as your own here.

maybe if psu wrestles a full schedule like other top teams, and takes the normal wear and tear of a full season things would be more interesting in March

Or other teams could just wrestle better and beat Penn State.

I’m glad you read it there. So why are you still whining here? Maybe your school should smarten up and do things more like PSU and then their March could be more interesting? I’ll pass along to Cael that Fred from Intermat disagrees with how he runs his program. I’m sure he’ll make adjustments.

Anyway…

I think they’d rather just whine. It’s easier.

Why not just take it a tiny step further than the psu way and eliminate out of conference wrestling altogether in nov-dec and start the season in Jan ?Screw the fans and the wrestlers that love to compete

I don't know where you're getting your facts from but PSU wrestlers total matches are equal to other elite wrestlers in their weight classes
