I believe Cael has coached 41 individual titles at PSU - Gable’s lead down to 4

What’s the most impressive thing you’ve ever seen?

Congratulations to Bernie for All American status again.

Still the greatest post-match interview ever!

...and Franklin got a possession receiver, two backup corners, and a backup tackle.

And you people wonder why he can't beat them, year after year after year.

Go ahead and blame NIL again for the 4th straight year 😂

But hey, Fleming is a good blocker, and Rucci came home to back up a freshman lol

I believe in most sports like football and basketball that today’s teams would handle teams of the past. But wrestling is dependent on weight classes so the natural bigger, stronger, faster of today might not apply as much.

If the Iowa team that holds the record for most points wrestled this year’s PSU team, who wins?

He practically gave up at the end. If he gassed like that against Carr, just imagine how tired he'd be at the end of a match with Mitchell. Credit to Carr, though. He wrestled to win.

Mitchell vs. Carr should be a good one. Carr is good, but I still like Mitchell to win.

I called it first

Everyone start posting your favorite high school football memories because Pennsylvania has such a rich High School football tradition from pretty much all corners of the state going back decades now.

Braden Davis: the Babyface assassin who came as an unheralded recruit and made it to the blood round. Wasn't expected to even start.

Aaron Nagao: the transfer who came in and wrestled with heart and nearly made it to the podium at the most loaded weight class in the nation.

Beau Bartlett: the man who had spent his whole career wrestling unselfishly wherever he was needed and was a finalist and got two pins.

Tyler Kasak: Took his place along side James English as a legend. Moved up a weight, true freshman, was a third string backup, and won seven consecutive matches to finish third.

Levi Haines: Came back from a heartbreak last year to win a national championship.

Mitchell Mesenbrink: Freshman wrestling up a weight. Smaller than literally every man he wrestled. National finalist who came within an eyelash of winning it all. Will never lose again.

Carter Starocci: Wrestled in one leg with a torn ACL and won his fourth national championship. Legend.

Bernie Truax: Came in and scored points and was inches away from a final. Victim of a cheap shot, he also battled back on one leg to finish 5th.

Aaron Brooks: Hodge winner. Four time champion. Will go down along side our greatest as maybe the best ever.

Daniel Greg Kerkvliet: Won a national championship and was the most dominant heavyweight since his rival Gable Stevenson.

The greatest college wrestling team in history.

Period.

Penn State is setting themselves up well to be a top contender for Gray.

first period: Minny kid, 1 offensive shot
Bartlett 0

second period: Minny 0
Bartlett 0
third period: Minny 1 or 2
Bartlett 1 major shot when it looked like he was going to get beat

Bartlett easily turned the Minny kid in the 3rd period with a minimal of effort. Why didn't that effort start a couple periods earlier?

How do they matchup style wise? Have they ever met ? How do you guys see it going? Interesting matchup imo , give me Haines 5-2, Teemer seems long and better at freestyle , hoping Haines can control ties and ride strong to a natty daddy

125 Ayala
133 transfer
141 Block


That's it. Iowa's philosophy is only lightweights matter.

I always enjoy looking at this. https://pennstatewrestlingclub.org/team_scores/?id=31&type=individual

In this Brave New World?

How about Shorts' recipes?

If he is cooking them as he posts and showing pictures (which are amazing) does that make it a "Current Event?"

Just wonderin'...

Here are a few of mine

Most of the Nebraska kids seem like good guys - Hardy, Lovett, Robb, Pinto, etc.

David Carr - buddies with a few of our guys, seems like a great kid

Keck & Hidlay - both have had the unfortunate task of beating generational talents from Penn State.

I dislike almost anything Ohio State but they have some guys with great offensive mindsets in Bouzakis, Welsh and Feldman.

It was nice to see some WVU guys do well. Tim Flynn ex Penn Stater has Hall, Stewart and Watters on the posium

Couldn’t bring myself to root for anyone from Iowa or Michigan

I picked 23 winners. Not bad, but not great. Did pick JMU and also have them beating Duke which will a very tough matchup because Duke has better athletes and more active bigs than Wisconsin had.

How about the rest of you?
