God willing. Hope he teaches them how to scramble, and Nick Lee adds his two cents to Penn State. Few things in life felt more right than Nick Lee burying Eierman in the finals. Thanks for the memories.

Not sure I can get behind the feelings of a guy named Chubbs. If it’s a girl who goes by Chubbs, she has my full respect. Just a heavy duty gal telling Penn State’s coaches they have a morals and ethics problem. You go, girl.

This has been discussed here by some really wise fans. They concluded that true heavyweights are the following: 1. Great 2. Big 3. Fat guys I would like to add that these guys also “eat all the food”. So we’re left with very athletic 197 pounders vs. great big fat guys who eat all the food. Easy to see how even a back up 197 pounder could beat a top 10 heavyweight.

I guess Bubba Wilson gets the rightful top spot.

I’ll see if Ruth will draw a pot leaf on it.

In the beginning, Coach Cael Sanderson created the foundation of a wrestling dynasty at Penn State. The program was without form and void, and darkness was over the surface of the mat. And Coach Sanderson said, "Let there be technique," and there was technique. Coach saw that the technique was good, and he separated the high-percentage moves from the low-percentage ones. He called the high-percentage moves "effective" and the low-percentage ones he did not use. And there was practice, and there was recovery—the first day. Then Coach Sanderson said, "Let there be a culture in the midst of the team, and let it separate wrestlers with a growth mindset from those without." So Coach made the culture and separated the wrestlers who learned from every match from those who did not. And it was so. And there was drilling, and there was conditioning—the second day. And Coach Sanderson said, "Let the wrestlers under the team bring forth victories, accolades, and champions after their kind." And it was so. The mat brought forth wrestlers like Aaron Brooks, who dominated with skill and heart, and the team saw that it was good. And there was scouting, and there was strategizing—the third day. And Coach Sanderson said, "Let there be stars in the sky of the Bryce Jordan Center to give light to the fans." And he set Casey Cunningham in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the mat, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the spirit of victory from defeat. And Coach saw that it was good. And there was anticipation, and there was triumph—the fourth day. Thus, the mat and the heavens and all their array were completed. And on the seventh day, Coach Sanderson finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. Coach Sanderson blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. This is the account of the heavens and the mat when they were created, in the day that Coach Cael Sanderson and his team of wrestlers made them.

I’m buying front row tickets next year just to talk to Aaron. See if I can get him to sign my Jesus bobblehead.

Just asked Greg what he thought, and he said “it doesn’t matter”. He even double checked his answer with Brooks.

1983's final NCAA team rank: 1. Iowa 2. Oklahoma State 3. Iowa State 4. Oklahoma 5. Lehigh Current NCAA projected tournament team rank: 1. Penn State 2. Iowa 3 (tie). NC State 3 (tie). Nebraska 4. Cornell In 1983, the Big 10 stunk. Right now, the #2 team in the country (from both Intermat and Flo) is IN the Big 10, puts 1 guy in the finals, and he got the devil beaten out of him by the power of the Holy Trinity - Cael Sanderson, God, and Aaron Brooks (probably in that order). I'll give you one more - the Big 10 in 1983 was rightfully named "The Big 10" with their 10 teams. We let in the riff raff and are up to 14 teams. This on average waters down the scores across the board. Wonder how many of them won similar to Trent Hidley, a man who just earned a conference title by wrestling one time. Ok, another point - in the 1983 NCAA tournament, aside from Iowa, there were only 5 guys who made it into the top 5 at ALL weights combined who were from the Big 10. Again, in 1983, the Big 10 stunk. In conclusion, those dorks from Iowa in 1983 playing on easy mode don't impress me. Here in the present day, Penn State even brought a 14 year old to wrestle in their 125 pounds weight. Penn State's guys also have to make weight while holding a Bible. To anybody with any objections or corrections to what I've typed up, I care about as much about double checking this work as Kerkvliet cares about wrestling. Not happening.

Haines took a shot 4 seconds before his stall call. That's not an exaggerated number. At 50 seconds left, Haines shot. At 46 seconds left, he gets hit with a stall. 4 seconds.

Lot of false prophets in this thread. I skipped church knowing I'd get my heavenly dose of the Good Lord from my main man, Aaron Brooks. Aaron, Moses' brother, was chosen to be the high priest, to minister in the name of the Lord, and to make atonement for the people. Aaron Brooks, on the other hand, was chosen by Cael to minister to wrestling fans, pick ankles, and give the devil a little hell of his own. The devil's name? Tom Brands.

Need Brooks to win just so we can get him on the mic.

Greco is two guys pretending their T-Rexs, bumping chests, and playing “legs are made of lava”. Then a ref makes one lay down and act like a starfish, then they stand up and bump chests again. Can’t believe the USA doesn’t like it.

I got a Braille transcript of Will Lewan’s season. It’s a smooth piece of computer paper.

That’s Agin of Duke. Duke won. Duke won a match. Chalk one up for Duke. Duke tied for first in the team race right now.

It isn’t Sifu Lewan’s problem that the other guy won’t engage on his terms. I’d say based on the current results it is decidedly the other guy’s problem.

If Sensei Lewan knows he has a far smaller chance of securing a takedown by shooting than he does by frustrating his opponent into a bad shot of his own, is he not attempting to secure a takedown by not shooting?

Mesenbrink’s “Golden Retriever at a dog park” energy is going to be tough to slow down tonight.

I'm sure that's the secret to Mitch Mesenbrink's gas tank.

I want Will Lewan to autograph my antique wooden leg collection.

Back to what's important - Penn State should hold this event hostage. Ask for a bunch of money or forfeit out tomorrow. Leave them with only 3 finals matches to show. Or just send Levi so we can see Will Lewan compete. Could you imagine the anger all of those old, fat, bald, angry wrestling fans would spew?

Very average.

If the team title is in the bag, Penn State's 6 finalists should forfeit out tomorrow. Just ruin the whole event.

Has Penn State wrapped up the title already? 6 finalists, Michigan has 3? Not sure if I counted right. Need to double check how many Iowa has. Still only 1 lol!

Man, I'm proud of Iowa getting a finalist in the Big 10's. Things are looking up for them.
