And here is an example of the idiocy: Guys who they are managing, but it gets called out. If it was Penn State it is "sprtsmanship." A few PSU injuries from recent years: Howard hurt Howard hurt Nolf hurt Berge hurt Berge hurt Starrocci hurt Shakur hurt Shakur hurt Cassar hurt Cassar hurt Kerkvliet hurt Kerkvliet hurt Kerkvliet hurt and now Brooks? PSU generally seems to have done a better job timing most of their injuries and/or getting guys able to wrestle hurt. As far as the Eierman thing- guy gave up his leg way, way too much. And Cassioppi was one of several B10 heavies not named Gable who were severely beat up at the end (Parris, Kerkvliet) Nelson Brands UCL was caused by pitching in the Iowa intramural baseball league. His dad and uncle probably should have had him on a lower pitch count, but to blame them for his serious motorcycle injury takes a sick pup.

Yes., That motorcycle accident was a result of the 1980s training program!

That is indeed true. I thought that I had come to an understanding with Mr. Knownothing, but was still educating the great state of Idaho.

Hold on? You are posting under two names??? You are Idaho, too? Because I was responding to "idaho" not "wrestleknownothing."

I said wrestle the schedule. If you don't get it, I can't help you.

Double post

Embarrassing triple post! 80s posting methods!

I mean, a lot of these fans cry "duck" if Spencer doesn't wrestle Glory, or if a clearly injured Cassioppi or Eierman don't wrestle their last match at Big 10s. If it isn't "duck," it is "injury mismanagement" or "1980s training techniques." (As if PSU and NLWC wrestlers have not suffered and/or quite a few significant injuries) I'm just sick of the level of dishonesty.

Wrestle your schedule, unless you have a significant illness or injury. Was the Princeton backup in the same realm of ability and ranking as Tony Cassioppi? Wrestle the schedule. Respect the sport and the fans.

Ah... the title of the thread!

I agree, to a large extent. Have you ever seen the talk when an Iowa guy misses a match? I do think if a stud is there and relatively healthy, he should wrestle. Build the sport. Is anyone here actually against building the sport? Too bad the old board isn't accessible.

This is not the way to build wrestling. If he is healthy, he should wrestle. If he had another color singlet on, the PSU fans would be saying "duck." This is a fact. PSU wrestlers have been doing quite a bit of ducking this year tbh. Is Cael using 1980s training techniques that are resulting in injury to these guys, or are they afraid to risk a monumental upset? That is 100% what a duck is. Crazy stuff happens. I remember a U23 champ getting pinned by a backup in a match that a team didn't need him for. So basically: Brooks, RBY, Starocci, Dean so not need to wrestle the rest of the year because they have already proven themselves to be champs? Absurd. Put it on the line. If there is a match, wrestle it.

But seriously... Brooks is the starter. He needs to wrestle. That usually gets called a duck around here. That is generally the standard.

Ask the Ironman refs!

Brooks needs to toe the line

How can you honestly say that? I'm not sure if you knew this, but DT wrestles for the NLWC and wrestled for PSU in college. He can probably tech just about anyone, maybe even Ditka.

Interesting. I'm guessing that a 125 start was not Princeton's choice.

Which weight class was wrestled first in the Rutgers/Princeton dual?

At least you were talking about two guys that were both actually on the team and are actively wrestling freestyle, not some "what if?' make believe caused by an obsession with a town in central PA.

When was the last time Kerk wrestled freestyle? Why is every thread turned into PSU/NLWC?

But DT didn't want to wrestle. Nor did most of the NLWC. They chose not to represent the US. No sense in bringing them up/

Two for three ain't bad!

What's Beth up to tonight?
