It seems absurd to say this when Penn State won it's 10th title in 11 (contested) years...and won by 50 points over Iowa.
However, we only went 2/5 in the finals.
157 - Haines loss was expected. He's a 18 year old true freshman wrestling a 25 year old 6th year senior who is a defending national champ. He simply got big brothered. I think Haines will win one before he's done.
174 - Starocci. What can you say? He's cocky, he's brash, he also is now a 3x champ.
184 - Brooks. He's so good. Wish he'd tone down the preaching during the post-match interview. The dig at Muslims was bad form, I think.
HWT - Kerk took one shot and seemed to be spent. Parris is just so much better but I think Kerk's mental game and conditioning need a lot of work. He seemed to give up after going down 2-0.
133 - RBY. He got owned, simple as that. Vito was just as fast and twice as long. RBY perhaps got a little cocky but Vito is just better. I hope RBY comes back for another year. Does he have another year left?
Overall, I am only about 75% happy with the way NCAAs went for Penn State. Again, I know it seem ludicrous to whine when out of 9 wrestlers you finished 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 7th, 2nd...but it feels like a letdown.
Penn State needs to get David Carr in blue and white next year.
