We should stop being so harsh to Jimmy.  It's not like we knew this.  I'm quite shocked.  If only wrestling media outlets would've kept us up to date with how good PSU is.  Even FRL, they haven't even touched on PSU wrestlers rankings all year.  It's not like they did a segment on, "what's more likely PSU with 6 champs or 10AA's.". Thank you Jimmy for keeping us up to date

@BobDole blueandgold is another Cinnabon handle correct?  The penmanship and thread format is identical.

but the majority of their guys didn't attempt anything resembling an offensive move last night. 

When you have opponents that excel at reattack your offensive output will be less and more calculated

PSU smoked them last night, and it wasn't because of reattacks. You can't reattack a collar tie. 

Hand fighting and collar ties slow the match down on purpose to try and set up cleaner attacks and avoid scrambles and reattacks.  Something the PSU wrestlers excel at.  Lower offensive output from UMich wrestlers had more to do with how good their opponents are and less to do with UMich wrestlers not showing up

but in the majority of matches it felt like we were watching paint dry because the Michigan guy was blocking and refusing to engage

PSU lives on re-attacks.  Way too much hate on the board for the UMich wrestlers.

he's really popular and shockingly technical but not known for physicality or shape. Its all subjective but IMHO i'd read those strengths into my guy. Maybe he's a wrestler's wrestler in free but not folk?

Based on how the OP framed his question regarding certain attributes that Gilbert Arenas highlights I don't see anyone else who was more admired than Dave Schultz for exemplifying those same attributes in wrestling 

@peanut Always assumed its been established that Dave Schultz is "that guy"

First in the New Year!

This thread is quite a duel between forke and the board.  Quite a dual 

With all your data can you somewhat predict when Jimmy will make his annual Iowa beats PSU thread?

We went to Tucson couple weeks in Feb to get out of the cold biking hiking winter vacation & checking out as eventual retirement location.  Wife wanted to do a day trip up to Sedona.  No we didn't get fooled by the vortexes.  It is a gorgeous red rock area but too much of a tourist trap for us.  

Pre Facebook Sedona was amazing.

You're going to have to get rid of the L or at this point you're going to take one yourself for being a hater

Yeah, I get how it works. Assuming that you wrestled, do you ever remember feeling a disadvantaged because you didn't have choice.

Yes, theres a lot of psychology and strategy that goes into wrestling when you start competing at higher levels.

Is it really that big of an advantage to have choice in the 2nd.

Absolutely.  Especially between opponents at an equal level.  Say wrestler A goes into the 2nd period with a lead 3-1 or 3-0.   He can defer knowing he'll go on top & if he can achieve building riding time he'll force wrestler B to cut him loose early in the 3rd period.  Theoretically wrestler A is up 4-2, 4-1, or even 4-0 with riding time(essentially making it 5-0) with all the advantages in the 3rd.  

Prediction:  No one wins 125 this year as a result of the elusive double pin in the finals match.  It will be a historic moment

Is Ben a descendent of the River Cooter Clan?  Or did his family migrate from the east coast and he's from the Northern Red Bellied Cooter lineage?

Idk, can you write that out for me as a number with exact decimal places?  Seems a bit high.  

Heard it's definitely under 83%

I'm hearing the "BOOM" is a PA hs recruit 

So is it official no Anthony or AJ?  @Husker_Du @Jason Bryant @Jon_Kozak

Yes he did.  This is par for the narcissist's playbook.
