In case anyone forgot our team just won The Big Ten Championship and we're 2 weeks out from another National Championship.

I was thinking the same. He just didn't look up for this one. He does seem like a dude who's emotions don't spike either way. They will figure it out.
Miles, why don't you ever just try to get along with people. This has been going on since...well, since these boards started. Go create a new handle and start fresh.

It's this simple: Greg's go to off the tie is being countered by Mason this year because last year Masons arm was injured and he didn't have the strength he does now...So far Greg hasn't got to an adjustment yet....So we have 12 days now to figure out something else.
Maybe we will maybe we won't but this 3rd match isn't going to look like the first 2.

Two wrestled above seed. One of them was a 2-seed. That’s hard to do.
Three wrestled below seed. That’s easy to do from the 1-seed, which one was, and we had a 2-seed take 3rd - also easy to do. Yes we had a 4-seed place 7th. Whooptedo.
It was a solid performance. The history of performances at NCAAs vs Big Tens bodes well.
In Cael’s 9 NCAA championship seasons, the average points scored at Big Tens is 145.2. They scored 147.0 today.
Every Cael-coached PSU team that has scored 130 or more points at Big Tens has won NCAAs.

Exactly. We’re not ENTITLED to win every single finals match. That’s exactly the kind of attitude that makes fans of a dynasty easily hated. Instead, I am grateful for another fantastic performance and witnessing the next young great PSU wrestler, in Levi Haines.
WE ARE!!!
Parris was a raw talent out of HS and has jumped levels each year, I think he's passed Kerk when it comes to skill.
He will...the same set ups he used last year need to be thrown in the trash and bet your ass Cael and Varner are throwing away that game plan now...see you in Tulsa Mason....
These trolls are working hard this evening. Think I’ll go waste my time watching the. Big12 finals now instead. See y’all tomorrow.
Imagine scoring 135 points with every conceivable fluke going your way and still losing by 12 points
You do realize his father has posted on this forum in the past. How would you like 'so called' Penn State fans calling your son dumb? Be better, I'm sure Kerk wasn't happy with his performance tonight.
Wait -- you mean a world champ is not inherently a "by far more skilled wrestler" than a world champ/NCAA finalist?
You know it's been a good Big Ten Tournament when the Football Crazies and Negative Nancys don't show up until the finals.
Must be a mistake on trackwrestling then. Rutgers couldn’t be 11th.
If Parris and Spencer both win it would be a travesty not to give the Hodge to the big guy. HWT is 10x tougher than 125 and he's just as dominant agains the field as Spencer is.
I think people mistake analysis for poo pooing. (Almost) everybody is happy with the team in winning. But this is a message board for wrestling. We can break down a match or a situation without insinuating that someone stinks or crapping on them.
Greg rules. He’s a great wrestler and seemingly a good dude. He also has things he can improve and likely will need to improve to reach his goals.

Yeah. Greg walked right into that first fireman’s carry. That shouldn’t have happened. But he rebounded and got out from bottom. Just needs to attack on the angle to get to Parris … he’s more than capable
It's the truth = that you are an idiot who given the chance to tell Kerk what a dumb wrestler he is would wet yourself.
Now go back to earning a living on your knees in the local trucksop's restroom stalls.
"He needs to create better angles" -- analysis.
"He's a dumb wrestler. That's the truth." -- craptastic.
Parris, who I hear is a pretty decent wrestler, had a real nice first period TD. Honestly, how many 245 lb heavies have you seen hit a clean fireman’s? It was sweet. They battled evenly the rest of the match, with Kerk forcing the stall call that tied it up and then, perhaps, running out of gas while being the clear aggressor in the 3rd period and SV. A PSU wrestler looking less than fresh at Big Tens is nothing new, folks. Put me in the camp that Kerk wins it all in two weeks.
Man, I sure do hope we don't win the NCAA Championship and have a wrestler who doesn't wrestle to their seed. That would be a huge disappointment ...
I'm pretty happy with Penn State's performance. This tournament is always harder for PSU than the NCAAs and I imagine they'll look even better in two weeks. If you're disappointed you're seriously spoiled.
An aside: Max Dean got taken down 3x by a guy with 5 losses (and several of those losses not close).
The folks who said Kerk is a dumb wrestler ... no opinion about Dean's smarts.
Paris' 1st stall call was pushing OB, no? Carried and pushed out. Simply not called consistently
Nope, Paris' first Stall Call was when he backed straight back off the mat instead of engaging/wrestling Kerk who was squarely in front of him. It was a good call as Paris choose to flee the mat rather than wrestle.
Just my opinion, but the difference in the Kerk/Paris match was "gas tank" for a 2nd time in a row.
