It’s just nervous energy. Everyone has different ways to deal with that. And yes, one person’s medicine can be another person’s poison.

It is rarely called, but specifically listed in the rule book, "Stalling by kicking out of bounds".
I'm not sure what the interpretation of the rule is, but it is pretty clear to me.
"A wrestler kicks out of a lower leg
hold and this kick out requires the referee to make an out-of-bounds call."
My recap of the medal round, again, w/ @tikk10 photos to make it look stunning.

In the medal round, the Nittany Lions inched closer to the all-time NCAA point record, going 3-1 and collecting a 3rd & 5th place finish.

SVN goes down for the season. Cael says "hold my rootbeer" and inserts unproven true freshman TK in the slot. TK proceeds to match SVN's result at nationals and exceed his bonus points.
The wrestling world calls it unbelievable. Penn State calls it just another Saturday in March.
Am I the only one that missed the below quote from Ragusin?
"You got Oklahoma State. You got John Smith in the corner. They're gonna wine like f*cking bitches the whole time."
"You got Oklahoma State. You got John Smith in the corner. They're gonna wine like f*cking bitches the whole time."
This can't be real, right? On a broadcast? Video clip or it didn't happen.
I saw someone post on GIA about an f bomb live on TV from a Michigan wrestler.
Yeah I heard it. I believe it was the Davison semifinal victory interview with Quinn.
It’s pretty clear that Ragusin was really frustrated with what happened in that match and I think he has every reason to feel that way. Maybe he wouldn’t have made that exact comment if he had time to calm down a little, but his adrenaline was still elevated. I put that whole fiasco on the ref. It never should have happened.
I literally just found out about "dirty sodas" this past week.SVN goes down for the season. Cael says "hold my rootbeer" and inserts unproven true freshman TK in the slot. TK proceeds to match SVN's result at nationals and exceed his bonus points.

Or as @js8793 would say... Lovett checked out.
Holy smokes! Ragusin sounded very diplomatic for the first 30 seconds there and I thought, “wow, he’s really composed for someone that got hosed out of a finals opportunity”.
That's just crazy. I truly believed heading into the tourney that Kasak could win it all. I predicted he'd at least make the finals so I has it right except he lost his first match instead of his last. True freshman at first Nationals so not surprising. This kid is a beast. Funny, two guys that some were wondering if they'd ever make it into the lineup (kasak and davis)...one takes 3rd, the other just misses AA. We are so blessed.
Lilledahl is coming in & he's an offensive juggernaut. He looks ready to go. Davis can bulk up & challenge for 133 or redshirt.
Fair. Even more annoying is being jumped on by a little group of followers from the one poster who hates me because I know exactly what kind of clown he is in real life. So, know that, and that is simply from me, to you.
Now watch as his little minions pile on this post, as a perfect example of this crap.
125 last, so all of the Iowa fanbase has to watch the whole ESPN PSU infomercial.
Maybe 2nd place team drama. 125 last to keep Iowa fans tuned in for the ratings.
Did you really agree with the guy on GIA that Caliendo would do better against KOT than MM would against KOT?
If that's real, I'd like to say "yeah but you guys have Bormet".
I like Luke. One of the biggest Luke guys out there. Not the way I would describe him, however.
141? Just maybe, out at least not a definitive no, from the horses mouth as opposed to opinion.
My 'opinion', Beau may have a lot to do with this decision. RS Kasak and he comes back Zain like for three years.
I didn't see him taking the slot from SVN, strategically flawed and Kasak is quickly becoming one of my favorites but I am not extrapolating that to he will be better than SVN next year. More likely he goes down and challenges Beau if he stays. As hard a through for a 3rd at nationals, RS is probably the best answer.
I don’t. But it doesn’t matter because Mesenbrink is 3-0 against Caliendo so their results against O’Toole don’t mean anything.
I also saw a Penn State 167 pounder beat Dr Death from Oklahoma at HEAVYWEIGHT, giving up about 100 pounds. Also impressive.
What could have been? He may have been able to overcome his questionable coaching decisions if Cael hadn’t screwed him. Just 95 points out of his snubbed 174 and they’re tied for first.
What do you mean? We have 6 Penn St guys to cheer against. 😄😄
We need to help you with your portal application. This isn't helping your case.
I mean, his coach can whine with the best of them, am I right?
Makes sense. In any event, look for either Davis or Lilledahl to redshirt next season. Barring injury, I fully expect Nagao to be the starter at 133 in 2024-25.
Most surprising non-placer?
I’m going with Bastida. He was 24-0 coming in with wins over:
Davison, who beat him and is in the finals
Hendrickson (took 3rd)
Elam (twice by major; took 4th)
Feldman (by major; took 5th)
Schultz (took 6th)

He posted that he had broken his finger. Makes CStar’s title with a broken hand that much more impressive
I could see a 1-year transfer (ala Truax) coming in at 197 for 2024-25, assuming such a guy is out there, which I have not checked. Would give Mirasola a redshirt year, rather than throwing him in the lineup immediately. Cochran is a nice backup, but suspect the staff would look for an upgrade. If no transfer, Cochran may begin the season as starter, possibly replaced by Mirasola in 2025 if he shows sufficient progress.
If Starocci does not return, Facundo seems the obvious replacement, assuming he can effectively handle the bump up from. 165. Suspect that the staff would prefer to redshirt Ryder.
So nice to see the beat finally got a shot at Tyler. He handled it really well!
Ramos. National finalist to DNP.
