Agree with you 100 percent. When big matches don’t happen and fans bitch, I get it but also understand it’s the coaches job to get the most out of his guys come March. I think Brands is playing his hand perfectly so far when it comes to his team. I was actually hoping they would all wrestle with very little time off but slow playing Kem and Spencer is for the best imo. In fact, I’d probably sit Marinelli a match or two as well. Hell, Eireman too.
Yeah, the dual didn’t end up happening, but I had a hunch Brands would sit Marinelli vs. Mizzou. I’m shocked Young hasn’t been rested, yet.
Some may have changed the argument because the original gripe about Smith’s decision was dumpster thread material, and so they tried to turn it into wrestling discussion. How it then went to porn is beyond me, but whatevs. Anything other than c-word debates is better than c-word debates at this point.
Alex and Beau getting the board beat down for lack of scoring may be the death of the board
Nominee for 2021 Nittany Nation Quote of the Year.
How about a zoom meeting and a screen share ;-)
Do i recall correctly Willie saying beau was undersized at the Collegiate Duals?
And you think porn and Iowa wrestling are diametrically opposed? Have you seen Evan's mustache?
Extremely interesting to me that Van Ness isn’t there. Starting to worry that the injuries may be a continuous issue there.
Missed most of his senior season with elbow and knee issues, then had a knee brace in Clarion to open the season and defaulted out after his second match. Can’t imagine he wouldn’t be in ‘Nooga if he were healthy.
If only we had a reporter to find these things out instead of speculate.
Penn State’s program is notably forthright with all this information
.
Just befriend a kid not in the starting lineup or his parents. Plenty of chatty Kathy's there to know what is going on.
I agree with you. Very surprised to not see SVN on the list. Hopefully we’re wrong for some reason.
From what I heard, SVN is recovering from another injury. It did require a medical procedure, and his action for the remainder of the season is in question.
That makes the most sense. Hate hearing that yet again. I’ve never seen injuries cost a team more than PSU. It’s the Suriano curse in more than one way ! Dammit Nicky !
My theory is he was going to be the 149 if healthy. Something is off but let's hope it's nothing a redshirt year won't fix.
Would it be inappropriate (as a PSU fan) to crack a joke here about how rough the bus ride may have been on their elderly?Agree. Perhaps they’re still recovering from St Louis?
He just spent the better part of two days in Florida laying on his back. How much more rest could he need?
Well, he probably has class, practice, Brands household chores and then his own household chores. I imagine the reason he looks so tired wrestling this year is the cut is tough, and the cards he been dealt are wearing his ass out.
That isn't how it works. At least not until you have lost 2 years of eligibility.
I believe this is correct, they're pretty liberal with medical redshirts for wrestling from what I noticed. If you don't get entered for your conference postseason tournament and have documentation that you are injured, I think they'll give it to you. That being said, I don't think you can apply for one unless you're hurt without a redshirt available.
I didn’t think he’d come back for another year of that cut. But I imagine someone with some long-term leverage was pretty persuasive, even if words were not said.
I guess timing wasn't on their side for Willie's thing. I don't see it as spiteful
Anyone know the status of Austin Boone?
yep turnaround was too quick. this worked out really well imo. very excited to see kennedy in this field.
