  1. PSU are slackers and have a lot of work to do.
  2. U.S. Constitution protects from government intereference with speech (particularly strong protection for political speech) and does not apply to private parties restricting speech for various reasons. A fair number of exceptions like reasonable time, place, and manner - so not an unlimited constitutional protection. There is a related freedom of speech that is a cultural norm in this country - but it is not a statutory or common law right that can be legally enforced.
  3. Yes - ideally programs and their boosters respond to competition and compete in all of the ways necessary. Good for the sport and good for the wrestlers who can make some $$ for their hard work and pay off school debt and costs. Its not like they have the NFL or NBA waiting for them to cash in.
  4. Anything can happen - anything at all. Lee had other losses and so did Gable S. If Dan Gable was wrestling in this modern era, I doubt he finishes with only one loss. Just a theory, do not mean to blaspheme a well-respected icon of this great sport.
  5. So going forward PSU depth chart for 165 and 174 includes: Haines (1 year), MM (2 years), Joe Sealey (4 years), PJ Duke (4 Years), William Henckel (4 years), Asher Cunningham (4 years), Erik Gibson (3-4 years), and Jayden James (4 years, but first year available is 26-27 season). Still a little thin but something to work with! Depth matters!
  6. Sure, worthy nominees. But JC is our spiritual leader and he makes the coolaid we all drink - Jamestown had Jim Jones and we have Jimmy Cinnabon. JC is the top dog here and 2nd is not close - like the HWT division this year.
  7. I am not answering questions, I am asking them.
  8. I do not want to hear any b.s. about the Hawkeye report. This is the place for the best discussion and information, no?
  9. Thanks - if Davis goes 125, des Max go 133 or sit out? Who is the AZ wrestler? Is Kaya Sement back and Cosgrove back? Agre that there will be some contests!
  10. Uneducated guess for Penn - probably missing a few candidates: 125 Max Gallagher 133 Alex Almeyda 141 CJ Composto 149 Cross Wasilewski 157 Jude Swisher (seems like a hoops name) 165 Andy Troczynski (just a wild ass guess - could be many contenders here and 174 might be biggest ??) 174 Kaya Sement (or 165) 184 Nate Taylor 197 Martin Cosgrove return? Hwt John Pardo runs it back
  11. good call - forgot about him
  12. I doubt that Shapiro is taking steroids, but if he is perhaps it is a new treatment for head injury?
  13. 174 - Haines over Norman 125: Lilledahl over Robinson 133: Ono over Crookham 141: Composto over Blaze 149: Van Ness over Stiles 157: Kasak over Taylor 165: Mesenbrink over Blaze 184: McEnelly over Ferrari 197: Ferrari over Barr 285: Carroll over Trumble
  14. Did not age well. Lesson: Anything can happen in NCAA wrestling.
  15. NCAA soccer has had a growing presence of international talent from club academies - although unlike Ono not usually the very best (who instead are competing at top leagues).
  16. Think he will be ok. Not that hard to learn a standup, switch, half nelson, and tight waist. Stance, motion, level change, back arch, back step, and fighting like demon possesed - he already has those at the highest level and they are not evaporating with some mat wrestling.
  17. The mowhawk was much appreciated in the stadium. Showmanship and nostalgia! I think even AJ was feeling some showmanship love with the split.
  18. Got to give credit for this early call!
  19. Lehigh with some firepower next year! Somebody with knowledge post their expected lineup - top 10 threat?
  20. News flash: every team's goal is to win every weight. Even with that, PSU only got 3 the finals and one had the quirk of a 5th year of eligibility and NCAA tourney opportunity. The sport is healthy and PSU dominance is not "ruination."
  21. Are there many NCAA wrestlers with remaing 5th year covid credits? Hoping not.
  22. What about Knox - he's not ready???
  23. The matside score clocks were too small to follow in many cases. Arena did a poor job of tracking in an accessible manner. Room for improvement there.
  24. JB is one of the best announcers - IMO. Seems to me he is cracious. The other EPSN announcers I could not find it in my heart to enjoy and hope never to seem them announce again.
  25. Also Crazy, let teams enter two at each wieght like swimming allows for multiple entrants for the same event. PSU blue and white teams, Iowa black and gold teams, Ok State orange and even uglier orange, etc.
