I think a lot of people are too quick to assume that Arnold beats PK. I think it's likely that Arnold is the odd man out and Brands is going to have his hands full convincing him not to jump in the portal.

125- Lilledahl 133- Ono 141- Blaze 149- SVN 157- Kasak 165- Mesenbrink 174- Haines 184- Ryder 197- Barr 285- Mirasola this is an unreal team

Lol what? Our team would be better off if a multiple time medalist, world champ and olympian were retired? Who on the HWC roster adds any value to USA Wrestling outside of Spencer Lee?? I don't think Sorensen, Marinelli, Kaleb Young, or Eierman have wrestled a senior level match in years. Regardless, none of them would even be competitive with the top 5 of the ladder right now. The rest..DeSanto and Warner? They're well outside the top 5 and are nothing more than glorified warm up partners for Spencer & Buchanan.

Also, there's something to going in to the post season with a high level of confidence. If Arnold loses here (which he would) I can imagine his confidence heading in to Big Tens will be at an all time low with losing to McEnelly and Plott back to back.

125- Ramos 133- Romney 141- Mendez 149- Van Ness 157- Shapiro 165- Mesenbrink 174- Haines 184- Starocci 197- Ferrari 285- Gable

Also looking to attend but not spending $700+ for one all session ticket on vivid. What is the consensus regarding getting tickets the day of the event when I get to Philly? Will I be able to find tickets at or near face value?

what kind of autism is this?

PSU vs. Iowa 125- Lilledahl vs. Cruz PSU dec. 3-0 PSU 133- Davis vs. Peterson/Hernandez PSU dec. 6-0 PSU 141- Bartlett vs. Block PSU dec. 9-0 PSU 149- Van Ness vs. Parco IOWA dec. 9-3 157- Kasak vs. Teemer PSU dec. 12-3 165- MM vs. Caliendo PSU maj. 16-3 174- Haines vs. PK PSU dec. 19-3 184- Starocci vs. Arnold PSU maj. 23-3 197- Barr vs. Buchanan IOWA dec. 23-6 285- Kerk vs. Kueter PSU maj. 27-6

True.lol But imagine (if it's possible, idk) if you could give that prize money to your athletes. Cael come's into the practice room in July "Hey everyone we're going to go down to Tulsa, OK wrestle 4-5x, beat everyone by 20+ and you're going to make 20k. You guys up for that?"

I'm predicting a shutout if PSU wrestles every starter. Only tossup is 133.

With a potential payout of $200,000 I wouldn't be surprised if Cael changes his mind. Makes it well worth it for his program.

My god Illinois looks terrible. No offense whatsoever, not even offensive attempts. Can’t ride/turn, and can’t get away.

It could also be their first time cutting down to and competing at the new weight. Takes a minute for you to adjust to competing at a lower weight, that's what I'm cracking it up to anyway. UNI looked lights out though.

Well if Ferrari beats Arnold and he doesn't want to redshirt but you force him to, the likelihood of him jumping into the portable is extremely high.
