This week was our 10th anniversary -- 2012 -- which according to HR logic means our relationship had started 2 years before.
Since 2016:
PSU scores 93.2% as many pts at NCAAs as they do at Big Tens.
Iowa is at 76.3%.
The ref being out of place is an entirely fair criticism -- it's literally his job to be in position to make that call. He wasn't remotely in position, and even so, the replays showed that when he finally got there, Lewis had control of Carter and still clearly had his foot in bounds. Blown call on multiple levels.
But as you said, replay worked as intended.
Of course, few people complaining gave a rat's ass about Mekhi Lewis or what's right or the sanctity of the sport. It was jealousy.
Then again, maybe we should defer to Beckman, the ultimate authority on boundary wrestling.
These are some DAMN fine photos!I'm not sure if this is posted elsewhere on the board, but here's a link to Mark Selders' photo gallery from the finals.
Ok just to be clear, this is NOT Lemon Pie posting under another name, but there’s one more thing about the PSU team that never gets mentioned. The whole team is a bunch of really good looking guys! Wish there were a few women posting here too. I’d like to hear their opinion.
I don't think there is anything wrong with their strength program. I do think they take too long to get into cardio shape. There is no doubt they need somebody in the room who can teach mat wrestling. Maybe Steiber gets this done.
With that said, during Cael's PSU run OSU has the 3rd most team titles and the most top 2 finishes.
Hidlay is simply looking to shorten the match and steal it at the end. Backing up to the middle takes Aaron's hands off Hidlay allowing Hidlay to conserve energy for the last 30 seconds.
Just guessing though. That guess, plus PSU doesn't waste a whole lot of physical nor mental energy looking for stall calls.
They miss many obvious moments. Ripping a headgear off would seem a bit much, but right on par. Since I woke up yesterday not feeling well, I napped through the placement matches. I take it Tommy did not have a brick left to use.
That's a reasonably safe assumption. Probably a safe assumption 2 sessions earlier.
The reffing in this tournament was really bad -- and not just subjective stuff like top stalling. Bastida headgear pull, Ed Scott 0.1 sec pin, ref not even being on the screen for Lewis' takedown last night, etc., ... just so much obvious stuff missed, and some of it not reviewable.
Hopefully that can be corrected in the offseason.
Thankfully that's not what I'll remember this tournament for.
Yeah, but Amine actually comes back to the middle. I can see Hidlay milking that for 10 to 15 seconds of lung time.
Zain, Nolf, Vincenzo, Nico, Quinton are five I can count off the top of my head. They also account for 11 titles among them
Cael has produced 32 Individual Champions in his tenure at PSU including this year - 50% of them were won by Pennsylvania Scholastic wrestlers. In his first 5 years, Cael produced 8 Individual Champions, 5 of which were Pennsylvania Scholastic wrestling products. Given that the Iowa posters were ridiculing Cael's statements regarding building a dynasty in Pennsylvania, I'd have to say Cael's comments were pretty prescient, while those of his Iowa critics were pretty shortsighted and ignorant.
I think it was the Iowa refusal to acknowledge that PA was the best state in the country for high school wrestling. They still cling to that belief today. I hope it continues to serve them well long into the future (sarcasm font for this last sentence). 😉
I mean wtf. Of course psu. What are you talking about. Why would anyone want a Minnesota tshirt. Because one guy won it. We had 5 and a team champ. If you want to buy a Minnesota shirt then you are on the wrong site.
outside of the top x, what the PSU guys are doing is winning multiple championships... that is difficult no matter what the recruit #
nope, now they say it is simply due to PA's population compared to Iowa's
45 qualifiers from Pa; 13 from Iowa.
12 AAs from PA; 1 from Iowa.
PA had basically the same number of AAs as Iowa had qualifiers.
Interesting as Pennsylvania produced wrestlers have consistently accounted for approximately 15% of NCAA D1 AAs over the last half century but PA only accounts for about 4% of the US population.
after dean won, espn was real quick last night to show a chart of schools and the years they had 5 champs at nattys.
i didn’t see it long enough; anyone know the details? i think iowa did it once and okie state too, when cormier was there as he was talking about the list they were showing
Several schools did it twice like we did. He was saying ok state 2005 was best. The other guy said no bias there.
Several schools have done it twice like PSU? Don't think so, pretty sure Iowa is the only other school other than PSU to record 5 Chanps two different years. Cormier's Alma Mater, Okie State, has only done it once I believe.... and those are the only 5 teams that have ever recorded 5 Champs in a single season (i.e., PSU 2x, Iowa 2x and Okie State 1x).
Someone on twitter said Jacob Warner's dad stood up and clapped for Max after the match
That makes sense. Jacob Warner has been cited on this board for his after match class on a few occasions.
I spent the whole weekend sitting directly across the aisle from his dad (and the entire VaTech contingent). They were great fans, very into the action, not obnoxious, and seemed to be enjoying themselves through the highs and lows.
I got a nice photo of Mekhi hugging his dad after he returned to the stands last night after the finals. I’ll try to figure out how to post it since this board inexplicably doesn’t allow uploading photos to posts.
why do we always hear about how many more people Pa has than iowa but we dont hear Pa say how many more people tx fla cal have???LOL they are a joke
Not to mention, the big population centers in PA (Philly, city of Pittsburgh) normally don't produce much talent.
I told an Iowa fan that any team in district 11 in PA could beat any Iowa all star team lol. Didn't go over very well. Truth hurts lol
