The old forum was quite naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom was apparent as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every wrestling forum, thus it was redesigned based on its own history to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of its' nature.

Edited my post after you responded. Would be interesting to see those stats from '97 and compare them to how scoring is applied currently

Do you have the breakdown from that year? And how scoring in '97 differentiates from today? Fun topic

All you need to know is that it puts Ben Askren in to a predicament.

No need to respond to the jealousy. It's nothing more than a yearly aspersion.

Hypothetical - Curious with the braniacs on this board how the scoring in 1997 breaks down to a scenario with PSU on par with similar placement 1997 Iowa 170 points National champions: Jesse Whitmer (118 pounds) - RBY(133) Mark Ironside (134 pounds) - Starrocci (174) Lincoln McIlravy (150 pounds) - Brooks (184) Joe Williams (158 pounds) - Dean (197) Lee Fullhart (190 pounds) - Kerk ( Hvwt) All-Americans: Mike Mena (2nd, 126 pounds) - Haines (157) Kasey Gilliss (6th, 142 pounds) Facundo (165) Mike Uker (5th, 167 pounds) Bartlett (141) ----------------------------- Shayne Van Ness (R12)

Interesting. Last time I checked there was still a delusional fantasy they had a shot to win it all

The supporting cast to their Big 5 will not get them close. Levi is the only one that potentially puts up big points

Let's just hope that he survives in the hospital and makes it to NCAA's. I mean it's going to be hard for me to argue against Cinnabon when he makes his, "Why PSU won't place in the Top 10" thread and I'll be clinging to Dean's death, Brooks' loss to Pinto in the Quarters, and RBY skipping for a gaming tournament as excuses.

The fact that you keep saying it over and over again makes me wonder if it's not true

Max suffered from a bout of diarrhea. Lost 17.38 pounds in the process. Day of the match Cael asked him to sit it out but being the man Dean is he decided to wrestle. This is insider information and I feel somewhat guilty for sharing this but Dean is currently in the hospital. He might die. Let us pray

The old freestyle translates to folk style debate. Pretty sure that theory has failed more often than not. I'm entertaining the idea but asking for specifics as to why it'll happen.

Why Vito over RBY and Fix?

He's definitely a bracket buster. Excited to see him go at it at NCAA's

I know the wrestlers haven't gotten to the podium yet but kudos to @Husker_Dufor having Pinto on his radar. I'm also liking my Saldate pick. Lots a great early season picks fellas

Maybe

Lets be real. You'll all participate in the crap. Trust me. I know my shit

enjoy Cinnabon's Threads like "Why Spencer Lee is not the favorite..." "Why PSU will finish 3rd..." "Who is the Best wrestler on this forum..." "Would Spencer Lee beat Gable Steveson" "How Many Bites does it take to the Center of a Cinnabon?"

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

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

I might be willing to bet against that

What about Yianni?

Valencia wrestling his best match of the year.

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

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
