Levi left a bonus point on the mat. We're doomed.

With a fist full of money and a sore...............
You've been telling that story for years
Some good scraps today, i think it will be beneficial for everyone. In 2 weeks we will have 6 finalists, 9 or maybe even 10 AA and the sky will stop falling. Enjoy it, they are one of the best lineups to ever take the mat.
The riding time doesn't carry over into the TB's, but if you have 1:00+ RT and the end of SV you win with the RT point. See the NCAA Rulebook:
First Sudden-Victory Period. In tournament or dual-meet competition when competitors are tied at the end of three regular periods, the first round of overtime shall begin with a sudden-victory period of two minutes with no rest between the regular match and the sudden-victory period. The sudden-victory period will begin with both wrestlers in the neutral position. Exception: Nonbleeding injury timeout. If, because of a first nonbleeding injury timeout, a wrestler secures one minute of riding time at the conclusion of the sudden-victory period, that wrestler shall be awarded one point for riding time and be declared the winner.
Theys was all staaaalllllinnnnn i tell ya. Every last one of em that outscored ours guys. Theys was all staaaalllllinnnnn.
Yep. Making fun of Iowa always makes me feel better.
He switched over to Decade Saving Time tonight. Don’t forget to set your calendars back.
For some perspective, at this point in last season’s B1G tournament, PSU had earned 136 points. This year they sit at 145 with 1 fewer finalist.
I hope no one at Michigan is trusting Kevin Jackson to get them to weigh ins with daylight savings time today.
This is exactly how I feel. This board is filled with a bunch of people who I assume are really great guys (I've met a few, but know that many of those who I haven't met would also be friends if I DID know them), but geez Louise it's hard to take some of the commentary if things aren't absolutely perfect from the PSU perspective. And yeah, some of the negative Nellies are just guys that show up here once a year at tournament time, but some of them are regulars. Yesterday was a good day and I'm sure today will be as well. I'm really hopeful that Davis can beat Braxton Brown today (and then avenge the Shawver "loss" which was more highway robbery than a real loss), but all 10 of our guys are set up for good runs at NCAAs and the coaches will do what they do in the meantime.
Search function not working, but was there any talk of Penn State killing the Granby roll yesterday? Luke twice and Carter once just released rather than roll through, and then secured the easy takedown.
Goodale and Ryan getting into it during reach around Rogotzke’s illegal slam-declared victory-then minutes later declared defeat was good backside theater.
Iowa fans around us were almost all great and we bantered the whole day except for the one insufferable broad who chewed her husband’s ass from pillar to post during Session 1. Fortunately they sat elsewhere during Session 2.
I suspect there is an awesome Kasak celebration photo on the mat after his semi win. PSU camera guy was matside and Kasak went right to him. Haven’t seen the photo yet.
Vombaur and Ethan Miller co-top dog dickheads for their win celebrations.
Welsh Ryan a great venue. B1G needs to figure something out with empty seats at this event.
@86PSUPaul @hlstone are the mans!
Had some extra pizza at Lou Malnati’s yesterday and invited a lovely couple from PSU to skip the wait and finish off our lunch. Great conversation. As always, meeting others at these events and exchanging stories is as good as the wrestling.

I think it's smart. If you want to get great info, you should pay for it. People pay for BTN, BTN+, Rokfin, Flo, etc. Why not PSWC?
2024 PSU saw Starocci go 0-2 due to injury. 2025 PSU has Starocci at 16.5 points right now. So you could say PSU is 7.5 points off of last year’s pace.
Great night! Six to finals, Luke’s coming out, Tyler’s “how ‘bout I just stop the damn bleeding” pin, Braeden’s bounce back. Like we didn’t already know Vombaur is a beast? Cardenas, too? Shayne’s loss puzzles but could also be his last of the season.
And if having the sport’s greatest team ever wasn’t enough, the clock trick gets the B1G finals (and Philly) here sooner.

Oh - I saw him lay his shoes on the mat years ago. Oh well . . he’s an all-timer and most are happy to see his excellency ascend to the throne once more )*). Perhaps his HS teammate Mark Hall will come back next year as rule stretching is much in vogue.
(*) here’s to hoping that Antknee will share some of his magic potion with GregK
It’s the nature of our obsession. Until we crown 10 champs, . . . we’re always going to feel bad for our guys who do not achieve their goals.
There's a certain irony in Peterson losing, in part, due to a slow pd call. Rutgers fans REALLY hate pd calls.
Fine, but the jerk move (using the nice term there) was cutting it off mid-day yesterday. There through half the day, then magically moved behind the paywall. And no way would I pay for a spreadsheet that I can make myself.
If SVN has a problem it's usually against the taller type wrestlers. He has problems getting to his offense when they keep him at arms length.
No. We have 145 points this year. The nine PSU wrestlers not named Carter have 128.5 of them. Last year, the nine PSU wrestlers not named Carter had scored 136 points on Saturday. So that equals 7.5 points behind.
Ummm… Starocci has 17.5 now, not the 16.5 you said. That’s what I was saying. 😊
I think it got moved behind the paywall in the middle of the day because the traffic was more than they anticipated. There was enough traffic that the site was not able to function.
Project much?
Ever give the benefit of the doubt to others when something doesn't go your way or work as it had previously?
You are basically spouting nonsense full of ass-umptions.
It crashed. I am a dues paying member. I was logged in. Access was unavailable to all.

What? My comment has nothing to do with the website
Not that it means that much but how did the announcers decide that Webster was the Outstanding Wrestler? Their logic was that he beat the top seed. Well, Luke MAJORED the top seed. You know, the guy that pinned Lord Spencer.
IDK. 2011 made me pretty freaking happy.Forgot how angry this tournament makes us every single year
Last evening we were seated next to a couple of kids who I believe were some of Iowa’s room guys and they were raising their fists and screaming “staaallliiinnn” from the get go. As soon as an Iowas wrestler broke his opponent down to the mat their calls for stalling were almost instantaneous.
Spot on. Yesterday was a good day. Lots of things to build off of. Cael & Co have proven time and time again that they can make the necessary adjustments to build from B1G10s to NCAAs. Just look at Davis. His loss to Shawver was hard to watch but he came back in the consis with a bit of fire in his eyes. We’ll see if it carries through to today but we have everything to be grateful for and excited about this team.
