It’s gonna happen: when the offspring of the elementary kids watching Messenbrink graduate, maybe.

Or he shouldn’t go so he CAN go for NCAAs. If he was not anticipated to be wrestling NCAAs, I’m sure BearClaw would have wrestled if they knew that Carter was definitely out for NCAAs
Maybe not “better”, but he’s earned the right to be in the conversation. We are truly spoiled!Brooks is absolutely amazing. Even with a 4th championship, it's tough to call him better than these guys:
We can joke, but just like MM grew up in Wisconsin dreaming of wearing that blue singlet with the white band around the waist, there were hundreds if not thousands of little kids who watched Mitch go crazy today and thought I want to be that guy on that team…
Bearclaw wasn't out there because if Carter didn't forfeit he wouldn't have been eligible for Nationals. The fact that Bearclaw didn't wrestle is proof they're planning of having Carter go at the big dance. They did the same thing with Nolf a few years back.
No way. It's clearly an elaborate conspiracy created by Cael to hurt both Carter and Terrell, weaken team leadership and crush team morale.
Sarcasm.
I have no problem saying he's a better technician hands down. I think we have a lot of greats but AB is just a different breedBrooks is absolutely amazing. Even with a 4th championship, it's tough to call him better than these guys:
Give it 3 weeks. They'll be tons of lineup projection threads.
DT was about the same in my opinion with technique.
I thought about that, I'm kind of surprised he didn't.
That being said, if he decided to quit and not go for a fourth title because he's mad it will be a very sad ending to his career. Nobody just quits this far into the season when they're the favorite to win a title.
Anyone know if they test the water in Erie?
Just checked, he wrestled two matches on the first day.
If one of our players is willing to enter the ring and represent our proud university he should damn well get to do just that. This has the myopic fingerprints of the PSU administration all over it.
Especially after that tweet a few weeks ago about over coming obstacles. This whole thing makes no sense
The question should be "who tests the water in Erie?"
You think somebody from outside the wrestling program called Cael and told him he couldn't let Carter wrestle? If that's the case where do you think Cael will be coaching next year? I'm thinking he ends up at Pitt.
I'm sure Cael spoke with the officials as well as the opposing staff ahead of time.
Plus, do you really think Cael would let that slide? I don't. Even if Cael had to walk onto the mat to get the match stopped.
Kasak won't be going down to 141. If Beau leaves and Kaysak doesn't redshirt, SVN might be sucking on ice cubes. SVN is not tall and wrestled 132 at Blair.
He did, but his injury occurred on Jan. 29, 2018. Big Tens started on March 3, 2018. He had 4 1/2 weeks to rehab his injury.

I stand corrected. Thank you.
Wonder if it was an allocation issue? Not that Nolf wouldn't have gotten an At Large bid.
Agreed - it was just and observation and a test of my memory.
If I remember correctly they made a rule for that year after the Suriano situation because they had to re seed the entire 125 bracket when they became aware that he wouldn’t be wrestling.
Just got home. Left after 165 
. My son was a champ; he’s not a wrestler and still watched almost every match, wrestlebacks, 9th place mini-tournaments, non-PSU guys, etc. But he has school tomorrow and staying thru 285 wasn’t going to work.
Shout out to @Hey_Blue (seats next to mine), @86PSUPaul ,@hlstone @creamery freak, @RoarLions1 and everyone else. Nice meeting and seeing you all.

Some people have lost their damn minds over this. There's some Area 51 level stuff floating around here. Thankfully we haven't hit GIA level conspiracies yet.
players lol
one of the dumbest things I've read today, and there was competition
It is hard to believe that Carter, would throw all his wrestling dreams away over this situation. If he quits and leaves, then he will not get an automatic shot at trials, will not be a 4 timer. will be out of NLWC and PSU.
Where and who does he train with? Not to mention the cost of travel, health insurance ..... He still gets his NIL $$. But to burn his bridges? I do not see that. I could be wrong, but I feel he will be grateful to wrestle at Nationals.
Brooks was awesome but I could make an argument for Davis as tourney MVP. He won a bracket that had the #1, 2, 4, 5, 8 and 9th ranked wrestlers

Perhaps, but Suriano did take one 0:01 INJ DEF at B10s that year.
I'm not sure what the 2nd INJ DEF accomplishes. Has it actually affected anybody's seed?
