A lot of people on here were advocating for committee intervention at 165lbs the last few days. I wonder how many of those same people are arguing the opposite for 174lbs.

I guess we are playing these silly games. I’ll bet his two opponents take great pleasure in beating him too.

I had never even heard of him before he wrestled RBY in the B1G finals last year. He was certainly a guy who came late to the party and really made a name for himself at the very end of the season last year. I expected him to be better than he has been this year but I am certainly biased as a PSU fan and alumni. He would only be a disappointment if you had bloated expectations for him like I did. He still took 3rd at the B1G. However, Nagao does have some vulnerabilities. His neutral defense is not good. Guys can get to his legs easily and once that happens he isn't very good at defending it. He also doesn't finish cleanly on his shots. He relies on the low single/double at the ankles too much. He is very quick and gets to the ankles of guys easily from that quad position but it allows a guy a chance to scramble. Those who are good scramblers will often stalemate it or simply beat him in the scramble for a TD. I thought he would get better from the neutral position as the year went on but he is pretty much the same. I think he will AA again this year but the weight is pretty deep and him matching his placement from last year will be tough.

I had to read this like a half dozen times to even know WTF you were talking about. Maybe next time specify the team you're actually talking about in the post because this was frustrating.

It's Rumham.

You could just listen to Baschmania. It's a religious podcast that interviews wrestlers about their faith.

We absolutely do. Life on planet Earth evolved from our oceans over millions of years.

I haven't felt like a man since I got married.

You must've really pissed him off!

One man's spectacle is another man's wrestling interview, I guess.

You're out of your element, Donnie.

Some say that if you listen closely at the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex at night you can still hear the pitter patter of Nick's shoes drilling in the room.

I think your post underscores just how difficult it is to score 200 points. Literally everything would have to have gone right this year for PSU and it did not. Bartlett and Truax could have won titles and it woudn't have been enough without Starocci. Starocci could have been 100% healthy and without Bartlett and Truax winning titles it wouldn't have happened. You need a perfect storm to score 200 points these days.

If only they practiced this. The second part, the Bible specifically says to not proselytize in public, but rather to pray behind closed doors.

Tom & Terry are still elite college coaches. I'm not an Iowa fan but I think they'd be nuts to get rid of them. Finding coaches that are at their level isn't easy and if it was you'd see a lot more programs doing a lot better.

It is often harder to win the B1G than the NCAA tournament. Cael has more NCAA titles than he does B1G titles.

This is such a weird thread. We have people advocating for special treatment of two wrestlers as if the wrestlers should get to decide who they wrestle and when. It's not how it works. Not even close.

Why do they need separated? Why would they manipulate the seeding in an attempt to get a finals matchup they want? What is the point of having seeding criteria if they just ignore it so they can generate matchups they want? They should simply use the formula/criteria like they always have and ignore who matches up against who and when.

As a PSU fan myself I have a hard time listening to AB proselytize in every interview. Like yourself I want some insight into the match and with AB we almost never get that, we just get the religion stuff. I almost never even watch his interviews.

I think you did man. You called it exactly. Props.

Hopefully today.

I have mentioned this before but how would this be different from last year when Aaron Brooks lost to Coleman of Cornell but won the B1G and was ranked #3 because two other guys were conference champs and undefeated? Everyone knew Aaron Brooks was the best guy at 184lbs but his loss dropped him to three. If Carr wins the conference and so does MM then Carr would be in the same position as Aaron Brooks last year, with a conference title but has a loss. How could they justify putting Carr at #1 when they did not give that benefit to a 2x defending champion last year who was in an identical situation? Since we have precedent (last year) what is the argument here to put a 1-loss Carr who won the Big12 over an undefeated Mesinbrink who won the B1G?

The only argument I think makes sense is that because KOT was able to wrestle in 2021 it sped up his development by an entire year.

The doctor monitors their vitals remotely. He wants to go to Aqua but actually wants to go to Haunted House more than he wants to go to Aqua.

I didn't see anything wrong with the first post, but that was a nice follow up post by Brock anyway. My advice to anyone reading this is to get the f*ck off of social media. It's cancer.
