I don't think Chittum, Nick Lee, Spencer Lee, the Ferraris, Yianni, etc. qualify for a lot of need based aid either. Wrestling seems to have an increased number of athletes whose parents seem to do well financially. This gives them the ability to afford more opportunities including access to plenty of great coaching and travel to distant tournaments and camps.

Nelson Brands was not mentioned as a probable vs. Penn. Minnow said he was out for the year. Wrestled vs. Penn.

Same age as Max Dean last year!

two different guys

High school: An Olympic 5th placer College: An Olympic champ

Ok. Thanks. So no Keystone, but it looks like he beat Bearclaw 2-1 at Black Knight. Does anyone know where Bearcat Open results are to be found? It looks like young Mr. Haynes may have lost a match there to a redshirt freshman from Northern Colorado with the moniker of "Vince Zerban." Mr. Zerban is currently ranked #46 by WrestleStat but it is a small sample size with a somewhat flawed algorithm. I will say that it appears as if Coach Nickerson is on the right track out in the Rocky Mountains.

I just saw a 2-1 over the immortal Bearclaw and Black Knight. I'll keep searching.

Who has been anointed the starter and where did the match take place?

How's Levi doing BTW? Is he the immediate championship threat that Mum promised? If so, he could be worth some big points in March!

A pin is a pin. Penn was on his back a long time and the official had a better view than either of us. It made no difference in the outcome of the dual.

And some of the same people who say that “brands works the hawks too hard” are the same people who are complaining about him being cautious with guys like Spencer, Woods, and Nelson. Hey! I thought Nelson was out for the year?

I feel as if Cassar lost more than a year. His last year, he was hurt wrestling Dom Bradley (?) during a freestyle tournament in the middle of folk style season. Career ending. Dont forget Robbie Howard, Suriano, rasheed, etc. Like you said, this stuff happens

John Lockhart begs to differ.

Was Mocco the first one to have an 'era that was enjoyed?' Courtesy of Leonce Crump?

JTTS! Beat me to it. Also author of an amazing Mocco song parody.

I'm always nervous. Gregory is very good. However, don't forget that Anthony was clearly injured the last time they wrestled. (Which is the same excuse we heard about Young Greg's losses in the past) It is definitely nice to have some big boys who wrestle in all positions. We have several guys ATM who may have been multiple time champs in other eras.

I feel as if Kerk is going to break through at some point, and this might be the night to do it. However, he is not "healthy" and never will be.

My uncle, who was a college coach and professor (whom taught a class in sports ethics) once remarked to me: "Harvard has a lot of poor kids on their hockey team."

Kerk is not healthy. He is lacking an ACL.

Gomez wrestled a freestyle tournament the week before.

A bunch of Euro and American babies announced they were going to protest Qatari social injustices levied at homosexuals by wearing gear supporting LGBTQ+ rights. FIFA threatened them with wildcards and the teams backed down like a bunch of entitled brats. If you want to protest injustices, you have to be willing to accept the consequences and embrace those consequences. Otherwise you are a poseur. Very disappointed. Can you imagine if the players and teams didn't back down? Is FIFA really prepared to deal with the fallout of the largest TV audiences not tuning in because some of the best sides are DQed? I think if the teams really cared about the cause and didn't blink, they probably win this showdown. Having the world cup in Qatar was a huge mistake on multiple levels. In the MEN'S tournament, my heart goes out to the Iranian side for their protest against their own nation's regime. I pray for these brave and strong young men.

Yes, this does work. It is just that they haven't been doing it much in the last few years.

I see tons of 3/4 Nelson's in Penn State matches!

Another question: Which of us on this board is actually "Mr. Pat Mineo?"

Do Badgers eat nuts?
