The_KC_Godfather Posted February 20 Author Posted February 20 Confidence booster a month before nationals?
RandolphTJones Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Would make a little more sense if Penn St traveled to Prinecton IMO.

SEC football teams all play a patsy end of the season usually before their rivalry game. Every sport has “warm up” games usually early season, “cool down” games sometimes at the end if scheduling allows. Im not gonna argue over how Cael runs his program, dudes been pretty damn successful, he’s earned the right to schedule whoever and however he wants.
1032004 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Expected more from McGowan. The ref was very kind to not stall him out sooner. Why was Princeton even arguing?
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Princeton got a six figure check to be the senior day sacrificial lamb.
ballz Posted February 21 Posted February 21 McGowan should have to watch the replay of that match while the coach shakes his head through the whole thing
Le duke Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Is McGowan seriously injured? He looked like a mummy out there.
GV4444 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 We had the thread on favorite stallers. Some are good at it, McGowan is not. When you go down to one knee AND back up into out of bounds, you might get whistled.....often. Dispassionate Penn State grad and fan.

Jimmy Cinnabon Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I have to imagine McGowan is a master moonwalker

Since a few of the BIG teams like Michigan State and Iowa don't seem to be interested in fielding competitive teams and Maryland doesn't seem to know how to, they really do need a bit more of a challenge. Indeed. Carl need to start coaching multiple teams. For 3 days a week he coaches PSU, and then go to Maryland for a day and then to edinboro for 2 days. Penn state is hogging carl to themselves and I'm sick of it Full of un-bias blasphemy.

That was embarrassing for McGowan, but even more embarrassing for the PSU crowd for not getting on him or the other visiting wrestlers throughout the dual. There was one guy who would yell "aw, c'mon" lol, but why wasn't wasn't it that x6000? Bit of a quiet crowd there.

Seriously, if this is schtick, kudos for the commitment to the bit. If it’s not, seek help. It’s semi scary you’re out there in society, mingling with the rest of us.

When he quits bringing in the hardware, Big Ten, NCAA, then this might be a legitimate thread to start. Good God! The short sightedness is astounding.

I'm sure Princeton got a check to come to Penn St for that match and Penn St almost always (if not always) ends the regular season w/ a bit of a cupcake dual Irrationally proud former WPIAL wrestler No Scotland, No Party . . .

I doubt Princeton got paid to come AND if they did, it likely was a small amount to cover travel, lodging and meals for a day/night, MAYBE MAYBE a small “appearance fee”. Even at PSU, wrestling is a non-revenue sport, an AD loss leader, a dual at Rec Hall might bring in what? maybe $100-200k revenue tops with tickets, concessions and merchandise. But PSU in a money losing sport is paying a team like Princeton 6 figures to come take a beating?? Please. I don’t buy it, you mentioned you worked for PSU athletics before, provide some AD work documents showing PSU is paying the Princeton’s of the world big money to come to Rec Hall for wrestling, otherwise this is just the pastry being the pastry.
