    FWIW, this is the wording used in a write-up about Cornell at the Lock Haven Open:

    Wrestlestat isn't hosed up, and his RS season was unspectacular (lots of non-D1 wins, best win was a 3-2 decision over a #45 from Chattanooga).

    I was there 40 (+) years ago, and we never called it Barton Hole. Ran track for four years there.

    Yianni

    BigRedFan replied to Idaho's topic in College Wrestling

    The author's son (I believe) was in a youth wrestling tournament held at the same time as the dual meet. Thus all the photos of Yianni posing with kids afterwards. Pretty sure he knows the difference between a dual meet and a tournament.

    Is Erik Gibson even enrolled at Penn State?
  6. BigRedFan
    They all cite anecdotal evidence about PSU graduates who have more common sense, know the value of hard work, etc. They assume all Ivy Leaguers are elite, ivory tower types who were born on second (or third) base.
  7. BigRedFan
    There's no such thing as an "academic full ride" at Ivy League schools, as aid is need-based. He might have qualified for some academic scholarship outside of Cornell, but Cornell ain't providing it. From cornell.edu:
  8. BigRedFan
    That is if you care about your degree. See Dean, Max. Also, those on the PSU forum will argue vociferously how a Penn State graduate is superior to an Ivy League graduate.
  9. BigRedFan
    I *think* he's suggesting that Erik never actually got accepted at Cornell. Just because you are a great wrestler, you committed to Cornell, and are training at Spartan RTC, it doesn't mean you got accepted. Not every recruit gets accepted, despite what the Lehigh fans think. It may have nothing to do with academics, and everything to do with Cael and Penn State and "the room."

    Hi, NJDan! How's that lawsuit coming? Got any Cornell lawyers yet, or are they all too busy litigating Yianni's loss?
  11. BigRedFan
    Apostrophe's??
  12. BigRedFan
    Hmm. This exact post was made on the cornellbigred.com forum, by a poster admitted to be NJDan on the old forum back in July: https://bigredbears.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=272 Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Is the whole team sick? As you said, after the first three matches, they looked dead.
  14. BigRedFan
    You'd think someone would notice that the clock isn't moving on that match. Serious gas tanks on those two!

    I can't get Flo Arena to load any content at the moment... 502 Bad Gateway

    I don't know which, if any, of Cornell's 2022 schedule Yianni is doing. My response was to whether that 2kg would have any impact on wrestlers' decisions. Without the 2kg, Yianni would likely not do CKLV, right? Doesn't mean he will be doing CKLV, of course. I've got to believe that he *will* be in NOLA the following week, and that 2kg might have made a difference.
  17. BigRedFan
    If Yianni had to make 65kg on 12/10, he probably wouldn't be doing the WC, CKLV the week before, and the Collegiate National Duals the week after, unless he really felt comfortable wrestling "under weight" in folkstyle. Something would have to give, I would guess.
  18. BigRedFan
    Was Askren joking when he said on Flo today that Sinclair was getting a knee replacement?

    Cornell match notes posted on cornellbigred.com: 125 Brett Ungar (3-2) 133 #3 Vito Arujau (0-0) 141 #21 Vince Cornella (5-0) 149 #1 Yianni Diakomihalis (0-0) 157 Gage McClenahan (3-0) or Cole Handlovic (2-2) 165 #8 Julian Ramirez (4-1) 174 #9 Chris Foca (4-0) 184 #7 Jonathan Loew (4-0) 197 #20 Jacob Cardenas (0-0) #9 Lewis Fernandes (1-0) (next month, hopefully, for Yapoujian at 157)
  20. BigRedFan
    Coach Grey just indicated in email that Cardenas will be there, and his brief discussion of Fernandes didn't mention any injury. No mention of Vito/Yianni/Yapoujian. Gonna be a great dual.
  21. BigRedFan
    Forrest is a generational talent, despite his age.

    You know where you might be able to get them? Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20221027182934/https://intermatwrestle.com/rankings/college You put in a URL, and it will tell you every date that they crawled that URL. Click on the result, and you get the page and some links that may or may not be the most up-to-date.

    Two things about Flo's review: From this weekend, it appears that Brett Ungar will be at 125 going forward: he majored LaJoie and nearly took out Jax Forrest; and Fernandes was limping a bit after his only match on Sunday, and didn't once throw boots in as is his modus operandi. They MFFed him (probably out of caution with his history of a bad knee) Ungar is an upgrade, and if Fernandes can't go, I don't know if they have another heavyweight (Furman is not enrolled this semester).
  24. BigRedFan
    "grey shirting," I guess you mean. That thing that only Cornell is accused of abusing doing.
