LOL if they didn't counts Nolf's losses how can they count Carters?trash it like guys in the NFL breaking old records by playin 6 more games.what a joke!
Ain’t that the truth! The dictionary needs a picture of Carter as the definition of WARRIOR! I can just imagine the “lore” that will grow around the story of Carter. Winning it all with a broken hand one year and a torn knee ligament in 24’. Every wrestler who come to the Nationals with an injured knee will be compared to Carter. Ten years from now, he will be considered one of the top 2 or 3 four-timers, because of his tenacity.
When he lost in first round I said to my crew, he's gonna make the Nick Lee freshman run..... I was close.
Did it appear to you that Levi had issues with 3 day weigh ins? He looked better then ever IYAM. That bracket he WRECKED was LOADED.
Leave 'em right where they are.
The offseason hasn't arrived until the board ponders changing guys' weights for no reason other than boredom. Perhaps it's more fun to potentially downgrade multiple weights for the sake of change.
Someday this might be necessary. But until that day comes, no. And it didn't appear imminent this year.
Exactly, attack the good leg cuz he cant stand on/use the bad one for much.
I always told kids that.
Both will be so much better next year because they came so close… like Levi and Kerk this year!
Don’t mess with the family was Bo’s message!

Penn State's Carter Starocci, Aaron Brooks become 4-time NCAA wrestling champs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The only thing slowing down Carter Starocci’s pursuit of wrestling glory was an ailing knee and some blood on his opponent’s face, and he left Aaron Brooks no choice but to follow his Penn State teammate into the history books. Starocci won his fourth NCAA title

Language is a complicated thing. Consider the statement "Charlie stole a car"". On paper, it's a simple assertion of fact.
However, once can state it with a rising intonation and make it a rejoinder of complete incredulity. By stressing "Charlie", it's a statement of doubt about the actor. By stressing "stole", it is a statement of doubt about the action. By stressing "car" it's a statement of doubt about the object of the action.
And then there's who saying something, how they are appear and the context and at the time.
Burroughs "comes off" as saying exactly what's on his mind and if that was confined to his knowledge and experience about wrestling, it would be a huge benefit to viewers. But that's not.
As sort of clumsy and undisciplined as Cormier is, Burroughs is worse. He got worse after Lovett lost, continuing the Nebraska NC drought. Carter and Aaron accomplished something he couldn't (4X).
Example.
Cormier makes a statement about barbeque; Burroughs says "never", Cormier says "really?" and Burroughs snaps back at Cormier about his "Dad bod". Why the personal attack?
Because he was aggressive and unfiltered; his statement come off as aggressive to the point of bellicose.
And now, just for Wild Turk; a moment of public contrition.
Lord forgive me; I was impatient with the lack technical knowledge of the student announcers (Adriana and "Going for the Gusto"); I realize now that at least they were trying and they weren't nasty and self indulgent.
Still the best revenge is living well. I hope Carter gets to wrestle him on two good wheels and pins his ass.
“It really starts with the coaches,” Starocci said. “This morning I was a little heavy and a little more than I wanted to be. And Coach Cael was right there riding the bike with me. Just looking around, all the other guys warming up, their coaches are on their phones. I’m like, this dude is in the foxhole with us. I think that means more than anything.”Article on Carter and Brooks.

The most appealing thing about Cael era PSU is the ability to recruit not only great wrestlers; but emotionally well-balanced young men who handle victory and defeat with grace and gratitude.
Exactly. You could hear JB chuckle immediately after saying it and then he said “On a serious note, Carter Starocci has had a phenomenal career. He belongs on the Mt Rushmore for the Nittany Lions.” Nickal and others are making a mountain out of a molehill.
I rewatched it earlier and thought the same.
John, thank you for introducing 6-year old future PSU GOAT Aaron to those Cael videos all those years ago!
We are and Christ reigns. I am very impressed with you and your wife. You raised a true warrior with the spirit of David. God bless
Right on! Consider statement “I shot the clerk” … 😉
I really can't see how Carter will be able to cut down to 74 kg (162.8 lb.) and still be at the top of his game. I imagine Carter routinely walks around in the 185 range. That is going to be a brutal cut.
I wasn't watching too closely, but we're there any MFFs in the medal round? Seems like there is always a few.
Only 2, same guy -- 141 McNeil forfeited out after losing to Beau in the semis.
Separately: Andonian got pinned in his last 3 matches (Levi, Shapiro, Kellar). Ouch.
Not forfeits but didn’t Lovett do the semi slide as well?
That is rough about Andonian! I didn’t realize that so thanks for pointing it out. Tough way to finish the tournament
Well Bo Nickal knows a little something about wrestling and he made it clear he didn’t appreciate Burroughs’ comments.
Yes, Lovett did. Parco took 5th, so one of them was doing the semi slide.
Others:
- Wolak
- Salazar
- 197 Elam -- lost to fellow semifinalist Sloan for 5th
- Schultz
Echemendia might have -- he was the 5th place beneficiary of McNeil MFF out.
I did see that about Andonian. Still not bad for a 12 seed. And he had a knee (I think) injury that kept him out a while. He gave Levi a pretty good match.

Mr Brooks: It was a privilege for us to be lucky enough to watch your son wrestle at Penn State. He is a first class man in every way, and an excellent representative of our University.
...and I don't care who you are, you do NOT want Bo freaking Nickal on your bad side 😂😂😂😂😂😂
