Trust me, they said it. Ha
Good to see Max Dean go out with a W.
Never seen Max give up so many TDs as he did in this tournament, and he definitely let one slip away against Truax last night. Still, a 7th place finish isn't too shabby and he really had a nice two seasons for PSU. His absence appears to leave a hole at 197.

IIRC, Cardenas may have beaten him in freestyle shortly before the transfer which added fuel to those rumors.
The other format doesn't have coaches splitting mats.
Man, I need to change my air filters in the house, way to much dust in my eyes... Thanks for the memories Max (and the Titles, both yours and the teamsx2)
Super classy and emotional interview from Max. So humble and grateful. Hard to not love the guy. Thanks for the memories Max, you will be missed!!!
Dude, I got cut after my second boy! It's all fun times now! Lol
Finally the answer: Immovable Object > Irresistible Force
Penn State wrestlers are on pace to have met or exceeded their seeds 8 of 9 times.
Real testament to what having Cael in his life meant to him. Max ...you will be missed.
Nice to see you here, @Dogwelder !
I feel like Hardy needs to stop, he's been in pain since last night.
Not sure. Levi just might be that irresistible force and he did eventually just pick the immovable object up and throw it down.
Always happy to see a PSAC wrestler AA.
I’ve heard rumors about a pretty decent wrestler at 184 moving up a weight.
Max Dean is who men should strive to be.
I think NCAAs is where we really see the benefit of good weight management and nutrition.
Clay Carson from SD State is quite an articulate kid. Just gave Qunit by far his best post-match interview of the Tournament.
SVN beats the guy that majored Murin in Murin's last college match after Murin beat SVN three times this year lmao. The Penn State/Iowa March dichotomy will never get old.
Penn State is going to crush their previous mark for how many points they win Nationals by.
Murin inspired this tournament, overcoming a disastrous seeding. Wrestled better than a 6th place finish but that's the breaks sometimes.
Gonna be hard for me to find another Murin where I could actually cheer for a Hawkeye. 
So Max beat his seed and outplaced both Allred and Beard. Impressive effort!
Isn't it crazy how almost all the athletes that wrestle are just so humble and likeable? There is no other sport that builds the kids into great young men.
looks like Murin ran outof gas...3rd day of weigh-ins?
Thought Hamiti was going to be top 3...
