I don't know how anyone can have a favorite other than SL excepting of course your favorite can be from "your team" imo

I'm a PSU guy and outside of" my team" my favorites are Yianni and Labriola.  There is bias for both.  Have family that wrestled for Cornell and Labriola is from my neck of the woods.  But even without those two Spencer still isn't one of my favorites.  There are other wrestlers I just so happen to have a liking to.  Even back in Cael's era my two favorites were Abas and Greg Jones.  Doesn't mean I didn't acknowledge Cael's greatness

184 - grudge match, Hidley finally beats Brooks

lol,  Aaron Brooks is the Kyle Dake of PSU wrestling.  Keep betting against him fellas.  I'll bet anyone going against Brooks at NCAA's.

174 - grudge match, Lewis/Starocci zzz

Why this match should be hitting 2nd in the lineup.

He'll get bonused at least.

I might be willing to bet against that

Assuming everything shakes out as planned I think the finals should start at 141 so the final match will be RBY vs Fix. It would also allow for Spencer Lee's last match to be near the end. If they do what I expect them to it will be to start at 133 and make the last match non-competitive.

Thoughts?

What about Yianni?

Valencia wrestling his best match of the year.

Steen with the rare win.  

Interesting fact. Those two wrestled each other in the PIAA finals. Steen won in SV

even in the stall fest, the result would look the same...

because Lee don't know how to stall...

Earlier you used a freestyle match that was the furthest thing from a stall fest as a comparison of what would happen today and then claim the match would be a stall fest?  Get it together LJB

And why are they wrestling Clarion in the first place, is Carl ducking tougher competition? 

He's been doing this for a few years to help promote smaller programs.

Last Scheduled Dual

'23 Clarion, '22 Rider, '20 American, '19 & '18 Buffalo, 

Just curious. If PSU pulls a lot of there starters to let some of the practice partners wrestle is the boards going to scream "duck" or will it applaud Cael for allowing more competitive matches?

Starts in about ten minutes on BTN+...

Is my clock wrong?  1pm start time and it's currently 12:30 in Pennsylvania

I spend 8 months out the year making fun of the old lady for how much time and energy she wastes reading OK magazine and caring so much about celebrity relationships.  The other 4 months I totally understand her.  

I'd slightly favor Fix.  Scoreless 1st period and then he'd grind Spencer Lee down at the end.  But, I'm sure the Spencer fans will say he'd win by major decision.

Great match Carr did an amazing job of wrestling to his strengths and keeping KOT out of his wheel house. Maybe when KOT gets his takedown he is able to establish a solid ride and go to work on top it could’ve been a completely different match, but Carr’s urgency & game plan keep the ball in his court for the full 7 minutes.

I don't know.  Several of those wrestling positions in that match that I might have originally thought would have favored KOT were solidly owned by Carr.  Carr looked stronger and better.

Looking forward to the rematch and adjustments by both of them.

I'll have to rewatch myself because I walked away thinking Carr won by keeping KOT in his wheelhouse and capitalizing on every little mistake KOT made 

Thank You David and Keegan

JP O'Conner DNPed in that bracket.

Yes, lost to I believe Gillespie in the quarters then got knocked out in his next match to Pami.  Exacted sweet revenge by defeating Pami the following year in the Finals

for a sec I was thinking 2009 157 (Gillespie, Leen , & Burroughs) but then remembered it was Burrough's first title.  Poeta was in that weight class too.

I'm enjoying the BBQ weather in PA these days

I don't think it's that as much as O'Toole being undefeated last season, Carr losing to Hunter Willits then moving up a weight

Fair point.  I didn't put much stock into the Willits loss when picking Carr.  Very interested to see the adjustments KOT makes for the rematch 

It's our fault for feeding the troll.

I’m very surprised it was that low.

Also, Askren mentioned that Keegan might go up to 174 next year. Great idea if he wants to finish 3rd, I guess.

I'm not surprised at all.  The crowd always falls in love with the unorthodox crafty wrestler.

Hi Fiving my fellow 27.27% that picked Carr

Feel for Johnson there.  Hell of a finish
