I disagree....I have never seen a PSU wrestler wrestle at the pace of MM. Not to say those all time great wrestlers weren't aggressive and total beasts. But Mitchell takes it to a new level and he is a RS Freshman. His finals match will be a true test, and I expect him to keep it up and prevail.

If we all promise to agree that you are right.......will you stop?
His destruction of Woods was something to see.
Don't forget Matt Brown would wear guys down by his constant pressure . More upper body and neck hammering instead of leg attack like Mitch.
The biggest question from today is: does @dicemen99 still love this team, now that 2 guys lost which cost him several hours at the bar tomorrow afternoon?

I haven't really seen him get "big bothered" much. Impressive for a TF. He looks big compared to most of the guys he wrestles.

Brooks is the best I’ve seen in a PSU singlet. Guy is just so methodical. So strong and so fundamentally sound! Simply the best. Always in control.
And.. Am I the only one that thinks Glazier is actually having a better year than AJ would have?
He is surgical. There's just no other way to describe him.
Penn State with seven guys into the finals and not one was worthy of a B1G interview. I guess they don't want to interview the same wrestler two days in a row.
I know.......one of those juvenile gimmicks that makes no difference to their performance and just makes it harder for the fans to follow.
I think a few other unsuccessful teams do this.....I saw a few different Rutgers and MSU unis.
MM is a classic "chain-wrestler" - much like the Magic Man. Often times, the first attack generates a response that gets other wrestler out of position and it's the 2nd or even 3rd move that gets TD. I doubt he will change for Hamiti - that constant pressure is extremely hard to deal with defensively.... once MM gets you moving, you're in trouble because he's going to chain 2, 3 or even 4 attacks.
The 9 Penn State wrestlers (that wrestled) went a total of 20-2 today. The two losses to the #1 ranked wrestler both by a TD. Not bad.

I think to beat Hamati MM has to do what MM does, attack, attack, attack, "that's what we do"
If you lose, tip you hat.
Cam amine before wrestling Mesenbrink energy
Tom Ryan esque. gable sure did turn out a bunch of blockheads - Ironside, Brands, Brands, Ryan.
Because they continually spend time on stupid shit like that. It’s in Ryan’s DNA
A used nose plug on his back seems to get MM out of sorts………..if you happened to catch it
Bernie showing March Bernie. I was among those that were a little worried about him. I’m glad those that had more faith in him were rewarded.
This is so disrespectful to MM lol
Not just in the same tourney, but different unis on the same day of the same tourney.
Look for Tan Tom to break out the grey singlets tomorrow; gotta work in as much of the wardrobe as possible.
Just so you understand, I wasn't comparing skill level. Brown was able to win a title being on small size (height) and not having big array of offense. He would outwork and wear out his opponent.
I was trying to think of another PSU wrestler that put effort in every second on his opponent.
If it weren't for two injuries they'd likely have 9 finalists.
A couple of thoughts from today.
I listened to Byers in AM round and watched on Big 10 +. Did anyone hear or see if Cunningham was at Bigs or did he stay to watch his son win State Title. I saw him in semi's I think in Tyler's match. He had an outdoor vest on over his sweatshirt. I was wondering if he had just arrived. ???? Just curious.
My wrestling strategy tidbit, was during Kasak match. It was the 2nd time that coaches chose to have Tyler go neutral against Lovette in 3rd period this year. Does that reflect on coaching staff respect for Lovette top ability or concerns about Tyler's bottom ability. Or a little of both?

I haven
I haven't see the scores for Arron and Kerk, mAybe I idded the,. Can some
Must have missed it, Can someone give the scores for Truax, Brooks & Kerk?
Thanks
Um, Michigan is the best of the rest in a tourney where every team other than PSU is competing for 2nd place. So, seems like it’s working out pretty well for them, no?
1. Penn State
2. Michigan
3. Nebraska
4. Iowa
Funniest part of all of this is that Brands didn’t yell a ton, but Sean Bormet, KJ and Mark Manning all screamed and whined about the call. It appears that the entire college wrestling landscape is tired of getting its ass kicked
I did not see CC until after his son won and was thinking maybe he choppered from Hershey to CP. That would be what a 20 minute flight?
Not possible to get there in 20 minutes by chopper. It would take a solid hour. College Park from Hershey is 120 miles. PIAA finals started at 4. Asher might have been done by 5:30. B1G semis started at like 7:20, and driving by car is a little under 2 hours. He could have done either one, but since he manages 165-Hwt, I'm thinking he drove. No rush on his part to get there for 125 when those aren't his guys.
WTF happened overnight... Hoping it's not true.
