Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread

[PSUbluTX]

Is it just me or did it seem like we had a lot fewer injuries and MFFs this tourney than in the past? Not that there's usually a lot and certainly not as many as you see in the conference tourneys.

But I'm unaware of any major injuries or gifted forfeit points that had an impact. Pretty remarkable given the grind of a tough season.

So grateful that all our PSU boys made it to/through the tourney healthy and not banged up in any significant way!

Does Real Woods have another year(s)?

Yes

 

[HCS3Seasons]

Max finishes his career with a Win!!!

And a 2nd team championship!

 

[johnstownsteel]

JB has been saying that all year, he even started reporting how many stall calls he has forced!

Didn't get to hear JB much because I just got tired of all the problems with the link and quit bothering to go there. Impressive what SVN did as a freshman.

So there is a decent possibility that in 2024 we could win the national championship in both football and wrestling! That would be an historic year in Penn State sports.

If they both win nattys, they would have a combined 12 nats between them!!

 

[oldcougar65]

5 in the finals again. Break up the Yankees.
It's getting to be monotonous and a self-fulfilling prophecy. Essentially, on paper we've already won NEXT year's championship. And we've got a crop of blue-chippers coming in for Cael + Co to mold into unbeatable studs to fill in whatever gaps may remain in the lineup. At some point in time they could just hold the NCAA tourney without PSU. The winners of the finals can then meet PSU for the team title.

We're in danger of a permanent monopoly here.

Hi PSUbluTX! Did you forget to take Jinx Avoidance 101 freshman year? 😉😀

14, right?

 

[WexfordWarrior]

So which is it. Some people are saying he was there and some say he wasn't?

He was not there. Courtney walked to the center by himself and got his hand raised.

 

[dbldoofus]

I wonder if someone picked up those glasses.... I am checking EBay.

I see that lol. Someone mistook him for brands guess fifty pound difference isn't that noticable nowadays lol

Spyker bought two broken pairs!

The other format doesn't have coaches splitting mats.

Or fans.

Uhh ... not so sure about a "decent possibility" for that combination. Guess it depends on what you mean by "decent".

 

[NitFan53]

He got hit in the eye by flying glasses parts.

You had me for a couple seconds. Glad I wasn't drinking my beer at the time!

 

[Agoodnap]

A Chinook maybe.

Here's a video which show a Chinook being loaded into a C5M. You can see this at the 8:30 time.

 

[nerfstate]

Search for a "C5M Aircraft" and you'll have a possible answer.

I used to love crawling around the C5A they used to open up to the public at the Montoursville Airshow as a kid.

(Maybe @Hotshoe remembers too--and I wanted to mention that I have such fond memories of eating Eder's Teaberry ice cream w/ my grandparents--will definitely be making a trip there next time I'm in town in summer).

How much bigger is the M?

near certainty AND possible = decent possibility

I said that last night--what plane does that guy get to go in? Probably not an F-18 . . .

The dude's not getting in planes. More like this:

 

[NitFan53]

The way all the these guys all batteled hard I cannot recall one unsportsmanlike incident.

Yanni giving SVN a hard push in the back was pretty lame. Tonight rooting hard for Sasso.

 

[Split shot]

14, right?

Right!!!

I hope SVN has already contacted his attorney

You know, the Hawkeye tradition I always liked and looked forward to, was the sharp open handed slap accross the face prior to the wrestler taking the mat. They would stand in front of one of the Brand Bros. and stick their face out and try not to squint prior to the delivery of the aforementioned slap. I would love to see Tom Brands suprise Woods tonite and revive the tradition. Oh, the good old days.

I’m always sort of amazed at Yianni/Spencer getting aggrieved that someone dare had the gall to try to beat them. Felt same way about Carter-DJ.

Maybe if Yanni loses his Mom will take her top off and tear it up!

[PSUbluTX]

Fan A: Spencer’s mom did not show grace under pressure.
Fan B: She did not show grace, but you have to understand she was under pressure!
Fan A: Uh …

Good to see you back, @Dogwelder! More witty posts please. You have some catching up to do.

 

[PSUbluTX]

Hi PSUbluTX! Did you forget to take Jinx Avoidance 101 freshman year? 😉😀

lol. For the record, I was going to post that last night but felt compelled to wait until Beau and Shane locked down their third place spots to not tempt the jinx gods. Nothing but smooth sailing now. 🙏🙏🙏

This. Really want to see Sasso win tonight

I love Max. Whatta great guy.

 

[tullfan68]

I usually do root for Sammy. Its not his fault that the O$U he was promised is not the one he was delivered.

yes Sasso Pa kid lets go!

 

[a_mshaffer]

Anyone else think Mendez could win 3 titles like I do? I like that kid and his style. Hopefully, Tan Tom doesn't screw him up like he has done with so many other great wrestlers.

kid from Minny may have a say
