Sorry, the guy that throw a bong at Kade and then stabbed him with a shattered piece of bong glass was just a goofy pizza eater laying around and giggling.

Olejnik has some really slick stuff. O’Toole has some super slick ducks

Vito is the first one that comes to mind

Determining what a takedown is, is being increasingly difficult. It looked like a takedown to me

Ridge should 100% choose top when it is his choice.

Sometimes Gomez forgets that he has really good baseline attacks also and doesn’t need to hit a big move off the whistle

Lemley has a lot of horsepower for a freshman.

Next level discernment lol

I am find with it if that means less ducking in duals.

Revised... Hanging around junkies, drug dealers, drunks or ex-girlfriends is a bad idea.

Hanging around junkies, drug dealers or drunks is a bad idea. Not complicated.

McEnelly is going to be a hammer. Should be some fun matchups. You think he is a career 184 guy or does he go up or down?

My guy Bennett Berge has been wrestling very well since the start of the year. He did not start off wrestling with the team right away, was a little banged up and when he came back he dropped a couple of matches. Since then he has looked great with major decision victories over Jaden Bullock and Sam Wolf. He is very good on his feet and tough on top. Still needs to figure out how to get out on bottom against those with grown man strength.

Yes, reportedly.

I am picking Nagao, not because I think he will lose but because he is the only one that really fits the definition of getting Carvered that has a greater than 1% chance of losing. Brooks or Kerk would fit the bill but I would be pretty shocked if they lost.

Iowa wrestlers have also got Carvered. Kem talked about one of his first big matches (I think ISU vs Iowa at Carver) having a big adrenaline dump.

I can confirm that wrestling is more fun when you are winning.

With having absolutely zero inside knowledge, the PSU methodology of having "fun" seems to be more about the mental approach to the sport. Focusing on getting to your attacks, competing the best that you can and defaulting to your training rather than putting a lot of pressure on winning a certain match. Compete to the best of your ability, be prepared and the rest takes care of it self. PSU is always one of, if not the best, conditioned teams in the country. They surely get after it in the room and do conditioning with the best of them. They may focus more on wrestling as a form of conditioning than other teams though.

Purdue is going to have to do more to be considered a program on the rise for me. They area Big 10 school that went many years without an AA and then finally got a couple last year. This year they have one likely AA (possible champ) in Ramos and then one guy who has a an average chance in Joey Blaze.

He needs to get more of his guys to go there for school then.

Oklahoma State is a very well coached team. They are fun to watch. I’ve said it before but wrestling is better off when Ok State is good.

Did Gioffre and Edmonds switch weights?

In the D3 national finals a couple years back two brothers wrestled

Hunter Catka dec Ryan Catka 8-4 These guys are brothers wrestling against each other. How often does this happen?
