Boy, Dean was totally gassed by the end. They were in neutral and he was pretty much staggering toward Beard trying to engage for a Hail Mary TD at the end.
Anyone recall the last time a #1 and defending champion lost two matches in a row the next year, much less two in one weekend?
Flo also skips it on their schedule.
So, starting at 1pm ET, they have semi-finals and consi round of 4. Then they have consi semi-finals. Then they have 5th/6th and 7th/8th place matches. Then they break until 6pm for the championship and 3rd/4th place matches.
Are they just skipping the Consi Round of 4? I assume that round goes off with the semis, since the winners of the former will then wrestle the losers of the latter right after that.
Did you happen to notice that Flo, in their lightweight (in more ways than one!) preview, picked Cornella to win @ 141? Crazy talk.
141 Predictions: 1) Cornella 2) Jack 3) D’Emilio 4) Crook
Yianni Diakomihalis (oldest): 141 as a freshman
Greg Diakomihalis (middle): 125 as a freshman
Elijah Diakomihalis (youngest): 189 as a freshman...in high school
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.
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.
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:
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.
