  1. I don't think he's in there to save a team point, they've still got to get someone ready for the post season. they wouldn't put him out if a win didn't guarantee him the spot.
  2. Random unfalsifiable statements dont make for very robust compliments.
  3. to not your point, I think Arnolds style can handle bumping up. He's not that physical, pretty elusive but can stand his ground, picks his spots to wrestle pretty well...in my experience if you took an opposite style like Chittum, thats the type who suffers from bumping up.
  4. to your point, if they thought he was that good they would have pulled him already, or at least that's a strong argument.
  5. supporting his case is the fact that high school kids seem to be more ready every year. Remember when it used to be a big deal when a true freshmen made the finals?
  6. its not his alone. That's just something coaches like to say so they don't sound tyrannical.
  7. i'm saying that sense he has no chance of making the team he's probably not sweating which weight to go in the same way that someone like retherford is. For instance, if I started a topic about what weight ferrrari is going I'd expect a lot of people to say "who cares".
  8. are we talking as if Shapiro has a chance at the team? nationoal team maybe
  9. I'm sure you heard that but that's a meaningless expression. The staff has their own ideas on the subject and is influencing in that direction.
  10. I like the idea of Cox at HWY...he's such a weirdo but he wins, let him do what he wants.
  11. That speaks to my point a bit, guys like Gilman have wrestled at 61 but generally just stayed down. Notice he hasn't been competing a lot in related news. There is kind of a bias in place in that we can have a decent idea of who is headed up, but cutting weight is such a taboo subject that we have no idea who was as big as all the guys who went up but decided to stay down...
  12. Yeah I'm sure the Iowa staff is checked out mentally on the subject....
  13. My first reaction without thinking too deeply, has anyone ever legitimately bumped up and made the team? It took taylor two years to turn into a real 86, Dake almost made the team over Cox in 2016 but not quite...I looked back through 2012 and didn't see anyone who struck me as small. I don't think anyone from 61, 70, 79 who goes up has a chance.
  14. Can a smarter person tell me if this makes sense? Brands' in a recent interview said that "we have two true freshmen who we can wrestle and not bring them out of redshirt," looks like the plan was to keep both options open as long as possible, which makes more sense than me and others have given credit for...
  15. we have to work on our topic titles...
  16. As someone who has bashed Flo a lot, the dake ambush is one of the better things they've ever done, mostly because ot required a measure of boldness.
  17. yeah makes sense. I should have spun it like "oh yeah thats exactly what I meant they hate giving it to PSU ever sense they won it 5 times in 7 years"
  18. "I'm pretty sure I saw that Hidlay was going 97k..." my bad i checked and realized i was confusing going 197 so he can go 189 with bumping up in both styles.
  19. Starocci is getting tired, Mesenbrink got ridden by that tOSU kid, bartlett isn't as good at getting bonus points as david taylor, the true freshmen are complete trash by historical standards.....all I know for sure is that this team is obviously smoking A LOT of weed!
  20. really? should have checked, just remembered zain x2 Taylor 2x and Nickal... At the least I hope you would understand if I said the rampant success of the program doesn't do as well as an underdog hodge narrative.
  21. yeah its hard to blame someone who unintentionally benefits from their excellent reputation...
  22. yeah but I like him so didn't mind that much.... Hall got a Valencia TD turned into a one point headgear pull in his favor, and his TD in the finals was actually a Jordan TD (imho) that the ref waited too long on, thus turning Halls reversal in a TD. Sorry i know thats a terrible description.
  23. I've still got PTSD from Mark Halls title run....probably bias' me everytime PSU has a call go there way.
