Another record to shoot for - and maybe more attainable. 1986 Iowa won by 74.5 points. We are up by 83.5 right now

 

[PAgeologist]

Turns out he got a (major, gross) ouchie

Ouch.

So clutch by Haines.

Jeez, who were the 7 slackers….kidding kidding

 

[WaffleShopper]

197 has to be last. There's no team drama other than possibly the record.

Plus ESPN is always about individual star power.

And depending on how things shake out, 4x Aaron might clinch the record.

I can just imagine it. Brooks needs a MD to clinch the record and Hidlay dances around the edge for 7 minutes and is content to take a 4-1 loss.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

The immediate plan for Kasak (in 2024-25) is likely a redshirt. That's assuming SVN makes a full recovery and can stay healthy, which I sure hope will be the case

Maybe. Do you have inside info?
Are you assuming Beau returns (not a given), and Kasak can't get back to his regular weight?

There is a very good chance that match is for the Hodge as well.

What a thoughtful, well spoken, and truly incredible young man! We are lucky he’s at PSU and that we get to root for him these next handful of years

 

[1AA]

Team records or not this is a special team. It's pretty amazing how even though we all knew the team title was going our way before it started but it still is so exciting and sucks you in. The highs and lows of wrestling are unlike any other sport.

 

[PSUbluTX]

I'm guessing Beau comes back but if not, maybe he can make 141.

FWIW, Byers said at least 2 or 3 times on the broadcast yesterday and today that Beau is definitely coming back.

These Hidlay boys are class. Would have been great to see them in Blue and White.

Instead, we've had to settle for seeing them in black and blue. 😜

Schultz has dangerous throws. No reason to risk anything.

Schultz's face while getting stifled at every turn by Kerk reminded me of Brock Hardy's face when he sat there stuck in that spladle for 10 minutes. They both had that "well damn, I don't even get to try my moves" look. 😂

 

[RB-Old]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Caliendo doesn't think his matches against Mesenbrink are as fun as Mesenbrink does.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

All they have to do is start at 285. Keep the folks in their seats! 170 is in play.

170???

 

[RB-Old]

Allirez is the kind of guy who might make Beau think it might not be worth coming back.

 

[RB-Old]

170???

Points record.

197 is last, that's from the NCAA.

I'm still baffled how you can simply walk out-of-bounds after being called for stalling but no call. Utterly puzzling.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Maybe. Do you have inside info?

Yes, I have inside info from Jeff Byers, who has stated that Bartlett intends to return next season.
I assume (don't know) that the plan next season is for 149 to be manned by SVN (the starter, before he got hurt).
I know that Kasak has a redshirt available, whereas SVN does not.
I assume (don't know) that Kasak could get back down to 141, if needed. However, other opinions about Kasak.

• Not convinced that 141 is Kasak's "regular" weight. I think he was at 141 because SVN could be at 149 for three more seasons, and there is a greater team need at 141.
• I think Kasak most natural and best weight is 149.

FYI - Ayala is at 125. But I get your primary point.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Maybe, though I doubt top tier athletes (including wrestlers) think that way.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Meh. Don’t think BB thinks that way at all

Oooff - just saw @BruceK-PSU83 beat me to the punch.

 

[AgSurfer]

Another record to shoot for - and maybe more attainable. 1986 Iowa won by 74.5 points. We are up by 83.5 right now

We also have more points than the next two teams added together!

 

[tikk10]

KASAK!!! AA!!

 

[AgSurfer]

Oooff - just saw @BruceK-PSU83 beat me to the punch.

I wasn’t even close to BBs level, and I would have welcomed the challenge. I’m pretty sure Beau has a similar attitude.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Aaaannndddd you should stop obsessively scouring my posts in desperation 😂

I'm at the tournament, not trying to figure out how to avoid the $13 fee for ESPN+. So, my forum time has been minimal, definitely not scouring for your posts.

 

[Dwayne_Johnson33]

Allirez is the kind of guy who might make Beau think it might not be worth coming back.

After listening to the Allirez interview on clash of combat, I think there’s a much better chance Bartlett returns to folkstyle than Allirez returns to folkstyle. He didn’t completely rule out coming back for his last year of eligibility but he said he accomplished all of his folkstyle goals and he’s focused on his freestyle goals before he goes to MMA.

 

[Psubiomed]

Beau is going down to 133. It's Nagao who is redshirting.

Yeah you are scouring. And I'm at the tournament too a$$hole.

 

[mjmirv]

Who’s redshirt would Nagao be using?

 

[Psubiomed]

Who’s redshirt would Nagao be using?

Olympic

 

[Psubiomed]

Who’s redshirt would Nagao be using?

He needs a year to change his neutral game

 

[mjmirv]

Olympic

Next year is not an Olympic year. Plus, it’s highly unlikely Nagao would qualify for an Olympic redshirt.

He is using a year of eligibility in 2025 unless he has a season ending injury.

Well then Aaron has 8 months to get it down.

 

[McScoreley]

What in the world are we doing here? Beau is going 133 and Nagao is taking an Olympic Redshirt in an non Olympic year when he doesn't qualify for one in the first place.

 

[Pennstate1985]

I REALLY hope Vito beats Fix tonight. I hate that style.

 

[Maddog]

Another record to shoot for - and maybe more attainable. 1986 Iowa won by 74.5 points. We are up by 83.5 right now

And one more - six individual champs. Current record is 5

My new adopted grandson. His mama raised a champions ❤️ on life. We are!

 

[Ian]

Under Cael, over 14 tournaments, PSU is now 57-8 in the semifinals! They have gone 34-17 in the finals with 6 through for tonight.

They have already set their all time team scoring record at 148 pts and need 23 today to eclipse the all time record!
