    Even then, Penn State expects to win by more than double. In fact many are saying that if Penn State does not at least have double the points of the second place team, it will be considered a major disappointment, and Cael could be on the hot seat.

    Thanks for covering my newfound responsibilities as I am currently up to me ears in bullshit

    My favorite is when that guy tells Miseur la Pedite that he has the finest milk in France

    Remove a row or two of seats and hike ticket prices to make up the difference
  5. flyingcement
    I thought I'd sneak that by you guys

    I haven't seen many over the "overly explaining" type people end up in positions of leadership. Mostly because it's often a poor strategic tactic if you're viewing a debate as a win/lose.

    While true in theory, I can also envisage a world in which he has done it nicely thousand times before and been ignored. Who knows. That's how most business world works though

    I think when you provide rankings, you are giving a blunt, non-reactive message. When a person doesn't like the message, they may want to respond in kind. I agree Kozak was most noble, followed by Borelli, with Pyles as a distant last

    Whining as a pejorative for calling out what he perceived to be as an injustice against his wrestler and his program. It's not as bad as it sounds and the world presents these situations to all of us
  10. flyingcement
    Ventresca and Brown were the two big ones. The former, an AA.

    I'm not a natural born whiner and it makes me uncomfortable, but i understand it's value
  12. flyingcement
    I think it was just what i said: dropping so many spots (18)in the rankings while remaining undefeated.
  13. flyingcement
    I think there is probably a middle ground that made more sense in reality. Dropping 18 spots while remaining undefeated is odd. Dropping some other moderate amount can be explained away by the Ventresca/Brown response which is fair to me.
  14. flyingcement
    Absolutely- not for him- but for his wrestler
  15. flyingcement
    Why? The rankings are public.
  16. flyingcement
    I think he spends plenty of time evaluating those wrestlers, but not in a way on which he would be emphasizing where they stand in an objective historically based ranking
  17. flyingcement
    As a lower profile school that is overlooked even in the best of times, I'd argue the coach is benefiting the team by being more vocal and visible. Again, I thought the discourse between he and Kozak was completely above board.
  18. flyingcement
    I mean fair point on the last sentence. We all do with full time jobs. But what is our lens? To be entertained and to predict the winners. The lens of a coach is - how do I prepare my wrestler for that guy. And so I feel it is less likely to view in an objective way because why would he?
  19. flyingcement
    There are only a handful of ranking services and after Intermat, Flo is the most commonly cited I tend to see. As others mentioned, coaches probably don't feel the need to delve into the nuances between Austin Murphy and Sal Perrine, its easy to defer to the public rankings.
  20. flyingcement
    To me this is par for the course for him. He has poor quality of character.
  21. flyingcement
    I would bet a years salary on Minnow in that fight
  22. flyingcement
    I felt the coach and Kozak were in line. Pyles inserting himself was unnecessary and he comes across as his usual self (i.e. not good)
  23. flyingcement
    I wondered that. He's not alone. Mickey O'Malley Prince Philip Conigliaro Lance Runyon Colton Schultz Wyatt Hendrickson (hurt)
  24. flyingcement
    And now heavyweights can do it
  25. flyingcement
    Yeah there are a couple tournaments where American is sending partial lineup but doesn't say who (perhaps just backups) so it may be that his toughest matchups before conferences are Tucker Owen's (Air Force) and Ethan Berginc (Army).
