He's fine. That's not gonna change. He's not the athlete that some are. He's slow-twitch. His game is to technique people to death. Maybe his ceiling isn't as high as others on the team, but he will be a 3X AA if he stays healthy.
Ummmm, no - it's because the NCAA didn't start sponsoring the "NCAA National Wrestling Tournament" until 1928 (i.e., the first year of the NCAA Tournament). PSU has won 6, soon to be 7, "NCAA Tournaments". But PSU was considered the consensus National Champion in 1921 and was the only undefeated team in the nation.
IOW, the NCAA only considers PSU to have won 6 "NCAA Tournaments" because that is how many they have won, which is different than how many National Championships they have won.
Nice interview by Gilman. Maybe he isn't 100% evil.
Love the ESPNU interview. Billy "Beetlejuice" Baldwin is flanked by Dan Gable on one side and Gable Steveson on the other and the question gets posed to the coach about Cael Sanderson and PSU's successes. Perfect!
Feel bad for Nick S. He would be a National Champion. He beat both guys almost by major decision who are wrestling in the finals !!!! We would probably be 20 more points ahead in the team race too....
Cory Haddad keeps leaving his announcing partner speechless with his comments. It's almost a little awkward to listen to. His partner isn't any better though with his comments of "citations" and the "boundary waters"

He is going to finish 5 or 6. Does NOT suck. You may not like his style, but he is a 2 time AA.
Ok so we have to wait for Sorensen-Jordan at 149 before we commence with parade planning.
Currently, we stand with 121. points and tOSU has a max score potential of 123. Getting very close.
I'm willing to bet that BoJo isn't pinning Hall so I'm breaking out the party hats and streamers now.
I think it depends on outcome of 149 3rd place
If Sorenson wins, PSU NATIONAL CHAMPS
If Micah wins by MD or better, might have to wait until Myles vs Boyd. My math might be off.

MJo loses we are champsI'm willing to bet that BoJo isn't pinning Hall so I'm breaking out the party hats and streamers now.
MJo wins but doesnt pin and MyMar doesnt pin we are champs
fat lady has taken her place on stage.
I think BS wins so in about 10 mins break out the champagne
It's amazing that all the scenarios we've just posted make me smile!
By-the-by, here is a complete listing year-by-year of the records of all of PSU's teams since PSU started wrestling in 1908/1909 school year (PSU is one of only like 5 schools to have wrestled for more than 100 years) - HERE IS THE HOTLINK. As you can see, PSU elected not to participate in many of the NCAA Tournaments in the early years. You can also see that PSU has had teams with sterling records and high finishes at NCAAs for a long, long, long time.

Sorry I mean the 3rd place match between Sorenson and Micah Jordan.
Ashnault wants a title...and he ain't beating Zain. I could be wrong, but if he can still make the weight I predict he stays at 141.
