But the real question is how Gable Steveson can ever wrestle still. He's just beating up on kids!

Sophomore slumps happen.

I feel for Gabe. He isn't shy about his struggles with mental health. I think that the Carter match should have had happened during the dual season, as I ultimately feel like the thought of backing up the trash talk clouded his mind at B1Gs. Seems like an upstanding gentleman through and through, even if he isn't in the highest echelon of his weight like he might think.

Carter's definitely got some skeletons hidden deep deep deep in that closet. He just is better about pushing it down.

>The Wrestling Room >Admitting they jumped to conclusions too quickly Pick one.

yes he is

I feel like my IQ is dropping to 82 listening to this. Also he's had 4 years since the 665 deadlift - how has it only gone up 10lbs.?

Facebook moms will make it their entire personality until this weekend is over.

Eh I'm not entirely sure about this one. If my memory recalls, they were ranked pretty high up when Dean Peterson wrestled for them, and I thought a similar thing would happen once he graduated... and then Knox comes the year after.

I am predicting an AA finish for Dean, as it seems Rider has some magic with one guy year in and year out.

I'm gonna take a stab at it and say Rutgers could be in the mix too. They've known for a while they need a portal heavy after Yara is done this year.

BoJob Nickal, as I have affectionately called him for years, will have his day of humbling/humiliation. I don't worry about that. This is kind of the part that always rubs me the wrong way with these Penn State guys though. What becomes of the likes of Starocci and Brooks who take their cues from Bo and his generation of guys in the program? How does that spill over into the next crop when more of these guys stick around the program? ugh.

Who you calling, the Athletic Departments?

On another point - I am thinking it's just time to suck it up and grab a ticket for one session. This will be my first time attending. Is there any one particular session that is the best one to see for a first year attendee?

Starocci by decision, 2-0.

Knox is back in. Let the hours of Minnow glazing commence.

No matter what the outcome is, that judge is going to have hide until the wrestling season is over.

Between this and his current musings about the legal tricks used in the courtroom today, Minnow is a real "jack of all trades, master of none" type.

Honestly gonna give this troll a 5/10. I got a solid chuckle out of it.

Just tuned in & the Knox's lawyer immediately causes a massive spike in volume. As New Jersey as it gets.

I've always just thought that some kids knew it was over in that time frame and there's general nerves/they don't think the consequences to their actions will have a quick enough turnaround before the season ends. It is such a shame, because they won't know how much they would love to have another chance to step back out on the mat until they can't.

A respectable best/worst choice moment. My personal fav has to be from a few weeks ago when they all were wiping their fishy leader's tears away because Kasak's family didn't like him spreading an AI-generated article around that group, so they didn't let up on posting about how good he's been to the kid throughout his career until mom issued a pity apology. Real purveyors of class in that group.

This story got so big that my dad, who still has no idea what a tech fall is after seeing over a decade's worth of matches, texted me about it. I feel for Knox as a Shore Conference expat and a fan of seeing history being made, but actions have consequences (which Anthony has seemed to acknowledge in his IG post). That being said, the reaction on both ends of it is frankly disgusting. That little story time group of kids from District 25 is undoubtedly cringe (like any of them wouldn't piss their pants if they saw Knox in public at this point), but Minnow's cult group glazing him to ungodly levels ain't much better. I guess I shouldn't expect much coming from a guy who calls Focus a "class act" and only wants rules applied to wrestlers that won't benefit his social capital in the sport. Kid ain't a hero, and I doubt he would be treated as much if his skillset on the mat wasn't as good as it is. I hope the best for Knox in college. It would be a shame if this was the beginning of a descent and not just a footnote in a tremendous career.

He's upholding the pillar of old school heavyweight wrestling on the national level almost singlehandedly at this point. What happens when he's done?

If Starocci were to lose, what type of social media post is he making about it?
