Kemerer looks like he's struggling a bit to hold that thing. That happens with old age.

Will talk about Suriano stuff on show tomorrow. obviously there a few miscommunication/semantic type things that isn't quite suited for twitter. i'll explain what i know (and don't know) tomorrow. although i'll just tell ya up front that nothing seems certain at this point.
You really want your Slush Fund envelope immediately on the 1st this month, don't you?
That is a dedicated Chance Marsteller fan club that showed up for his OKST debut, unreal dedication.That's fair. Kinnick can't always look like this:
Similar to Metcalf, Gilman just needed some time away from the Iowa program to be deprogrammed and acclimated back into a civil society.
Alright, that was pretty good....

apologies for choosing a platform in which it would better be explained.
what's your ****ing point?
Suriano’s decision-
Coaching-PSU
Facilities-PSU
RTC-PSU
Shirtless time-ASU
Probably going to ASU

Suriano to PSU sounds great for PSU fans, but if he’s really doing a “Vision Quest” to capitalize on NIL, and beat Spencer, being at PSU might hurt that narrative. Because he may have to see him 3 times in the season, depending on the schedule. Dual Meet, Big Tens and then NCAAs. Beating Spencer 2 times before NCAAs won’t build up to an epic showdown in the NCAA finals. And losing to him twice won’t inspire a lot of confidence that he can win in the NCAA finals and will only hurt his seed. Only seeing him in the NCAA finals would be the best route. So maybe he goes somewhere out of conference so he only can see him in the finals.
I don’t believe the bolded part is true.
I have never heard anyone say, “Cenzo’s NCAA Finals wins over IMar would’ve been so much more epic if only they wouldn’t have wrestled earlier in the year!” Same for Bo’s 2018 win over Myles or Cassar’s win over Gable.
Anybody who beats Spencer would have an epic win no matter what. And by coming to PSU, the 125 win would likely lead to a team win, and a team-rivalry win, thereby making the 125 win even more epic, a la 2018 Bo.
Also, epicness is the icing on the cake. Winning is still the main thing. Coming to PSU would make the win more likely.

Dake v dt was pretty epic on its 2 occasions
Smalls showing, yet again, that for all his talk of snowflakes, his own skin is as thin as rice paper.uh...humor?
That's pretty thin. Almost can see through it, if memory serves
Rokfin. It's free when live. You just need to make a Rokfin login. It's on Matscouts page once on Rokfin. Usually see a tweet from Willie about 5-10 min before they go live
Scroll down until you see a banner (between posts) that says New, Top, Videos --> click on Live Stream.
They typically start around 11 am ET, so I'd expect it soon.
Will be archived, typically stays free for at least the same day and often longer.
As he should, especially in the times of NIL. His coming to PSU will happen if it is mutually beneficial to both parties. I don't see anything wrong with that unless he originally left on bad terms with his teammates in which case his return would be disruptive to the team. But if Cael and the team have no heartburn with his return then I sure don't.
Good attitude. A guy should think twice before taking strong sides in his two friends’ friendship/marital squabbles. Because they’ll forgive each other, but they won’t forgive the outsider. And then the outsider becomes the dork stuck in a grudge over something that literally nobody cares about anymore.

You guys should give it a listen. Surianos and Sandersons are definitely talking. My take away is WTT factors heavily. But not as heavily as ego.
Also speculation that fix may go 125 too.

Fix and Suriano at 125 would be incredible.
I just want to see a healthy (as possible) Spencer Lee wrestle people who are even remotely on his level. Doesn't seem like that has happened for a few years now.
I don't even care what it does for the team race, I just want to see a wrestler as great as Spencer get pushed by something other than his own injuries.

Willie's Cael story was funny, for sure. There is, as they said, definitely smoke.
Rumor is Fix may cut to 118. Just to impress his coach.
A 125lb bracket with Spencer Lee, Dayton Fix and Nick Suriano would be amazing.
Does Fix's dad have weight loss shakes in the fridge?
The downside would be: unless one of them knocks off Lee, preferably in the semis, Fix dropping helps Iowa. DeSanto would've been a finalist last year without Fix.
I hear you but that's not necessarily enough if Lee wins 125 anyway.
PSU lost last year by 15.5 pts.
2018 finalist Suriano outscored 2021 Howard by 19.0 pts.
So far so good -- but if we give those 4 pts back to Iowa (by Fix dropping) then it's not enough, still need more points from somewhere.
Bartlett and Kerk will score more -- especially if Steveson is done.
Otherwise we would absolutely need all of our champs to repeat. And they're all capable. But stuff happens at the NCAA Tournament.
Micic returning would help. DeSanto is not beating him.
Ordinarily I would insert a John Smith weight-cut joke, but this is obviously Fix’s decision as he doesn’t want the RBY smoke.
I've referred to @smalls103 initial projections a few times and made a few key adjustments. He had Penn State up 131 to 114 on placement BUT the following considerations change things:
1. Kemerer IS coming back, that's +10.5 points. He had Kennedy at 8th (5.5) and Kemerer would be 2nd I imagine.
2. Berge and Dellavecchia are done. We lost all our 157 points and Young gets 3.5 more (moving from 8th to 6th) We lose 4.5. That's 8 points.
Those 2 things alone swing Iowa as the favorite again (128 to 126.5)
Now after that? There are probably 100 things both sides disagree with and 100 other things that can be adjusted. For example, we had all 4 champs start as #1, SVN as 5th, that's pretty rosy. But on the flip side, can Max Dean (Beard right now) get better than 8th? He's MUCH better at folk than free (example, he beat Bonaccorsi 6-0 in 2019 before beating MyMar) Can Kerkvliet jump Parris/Cass? Iowa has Bull at 5th (I don't think that's unfair at this point tbh) but I bet they disagree with that. Can they get a podium finish out of Murin/Assad?
Keep in mind, Iowa DID outbonus us last year (27 to 17). All that considered, without Suriano, Iowa is the favorite over us. We'd need to overachieve quite a bit.
Stuff happens at the tournament bottom line. I love the was @js8793 described Joe Lee the more I think about it. He can be a huge asset in the tournament if he's healthy. But very much he's boom or bust, bad weekend and he 0-2s .. good weekend and can he pull some kind of Pat McKee run?
If Suriano does indeed return to PSU, can we just have Iowa and PSU wrestle each other every Friday night until BIG10's?
I know that I would be happier than a pig in shit to watch these two teams battling it out all winter long.
Can't wait to see how this year unfolds!

We need Suriano to return for you to consider us a worthy weekly adversary? Come on, let's do it anyways 😜
