you surely know that Mountain Dew is one of the most heavily caffeinated sodas out there...

Members of the undefeated '72 Miami Dolphins reportedly pop a bottle of champagne every time a previously undefeated NFL team takes its first loss of the season. The 2007 New England Patriots went 16-0 before losing in the Super Bowl so the Dolphins had to wait a long time for that refreshing relief. Seriously though, do you think Cael celebrates a little bit inside when a previously unbeaten wrestler takes his first career loss? Even if it's his own guy? He's had several wrestlers finish with only 3 losses but no one has come closer to his unblemished 159-0 mark in NCAA D-1.

so if a D-2 wrestler transfers to a D-1 school he's not considered a transfer?

Haines is likely redshirting this season.

I think he is a blend of Yianni and Dake, so yes he is the favorite at 157.

No. Inevitably there will be injuries, illnesses, off campus issues, underperformance, etc. Penn State should still win comfortably but they will not double up 2nd place. I don't see guys like Beau Bartlett and SVN getting as high as 3rd again this year, for example. I would also bet that Robbie Howard's shoulder doesn't hold up to get him to NCAAs, much less through it. And this is coming from a huge Penn State homer.

Who said I don't already don't post there?

Transfers: Cruz, Teske, Woods, Voinovich, Franek, Swafford, Caliendo And could add A.J. Ferrari as a transfer too since his sexual battery trial was "stricken": https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/ferrari-sexual-battery-trial-stricken.426322/

When Iowa literally has the most transfer starters of any D-1 team (7 out of 10 starters are transfers)... https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/portal-impacts-to-college-athletics.426335/

"But I don't like the rule because the parties who knowingly violated it are being punished for breaking it and they happen to represent my favorite school! It's not fair!"

I doubt that any Iowa fans and Ok State fans stopped having fun when they had their historical runs that were both LONGER and more SUCCESSFUL than Penn State's current run.

How big of a commit is PJ Duke? Any comparisons to current wrestlers?

The Gamblin' Iowa Snake-eyes!

A lot of angry Iowa fans on here who have an issue NOT with the fact that an Iowa athlete knowingly broke the rules, but with the fact that the rules exist, or that other schools weren't busted as well...hmmm... It seems your anger is misplaced...

P.S. based on tonight's Penn State-Iowa football game, it is confirmed betting the under on Iowa football is the smart move.

For everyone mad about what happened to Nelson...I can't help but think you wouldn't be posting your anger about this if it had happened to a non-Iowa wrestler. You're only mad because it happened to your team.

No, because I'm a Penn State fan.

Maybe Spencer can ride on Caitlin's lap?

I was the whisterblower after all...

who is to blame?

Doesn't each state run its own government? Is there a rule that says all 50 states must investigate the same crimes concurrently?

He missed the information meeting. Perhaps it was optional?
