2025 NCAA's - Match/PBP/discussions (merged)

[tullfan68]

I thought Kasak and Levi both lost because they weren't able to horse their guys like they did all season. Maybe they didn't eat right on Friday and had to cut a little extra on Saturday morning sapped some strength?
edit. Both guys weren't able to finish some TDs like they usually did.

what????

 

[tullfan68]

That was Levi's first career match vs Hamiti. He lost to O'Toole in the regular season.

i thought Levi took too many shots from too far away with not enough setup. Works against most of the field, but not against a long guy whose coach didn't need to see a scouting report. He didn't finish his shots because his shots weren't good enough to beat Hamiti.

Kasak is odd he was gassing the beginning of the season then he was fine the 2nd half no gassing then he again was getting tired at the tourney!dont know what's up maybe he had a cold etc etc

Did anyone else notice that Bo Nickal had complete access to the presidential area for the entire Finals?

At times it almost looked like he was part of the security detail.

When DJT spoke at BJC, he said he would love it if the PSU wrestling team was part of his security detail, I think he was serious.

Just going to drop a link here to a Flickr album of some of my shots at NCAAs this year.

Great pictures as always tikk, thank you for sharing!

If you have pictures of Luke and Tyler on the podium, can you photo shop them to the top? That would bring justice back to the universe.

 

[Cowbell Man]

There is a reason that my KYPSW for NCAAs will NEVER include a 4th, 6th, or 8th. The Saturday morning session was one of the most impressive team statements I've ever seen.

Many wrestlers on the backside want a reason to lose. You just have to help them see it. We sent a team of illuminaries to the mat on Sat.

Thank you. I didn't bother with podium pics this time, sorry. Sometimes I do, but I could only be out there for certain finals matches (184, 165, 197) and would have had to wait to be ushered in to take the same exact photo that a dozen or so other photographers were taking. I used the time to process the shots I already took and watch the rest of the finals.

Thanks so much Tikk! In seeing the photos of Mitchell I would vote for him as having the loosest singlet at the tournament and Ferrari as having the tightest : )

Luke Lilledahl on Losing in Quarters and Bouncing Back for 3rd

 

[Ian]

We had six guys seeded 1st or 2nd. Two more seeded third. Anyone claiming three finalists isn’t disappointing is kidding themselves and the rest of us. I’m sure the young men themselves are disappointed. It’s okay to sometimes feel disappointment in life. It’s reality. You can state it was disappointing and not be a hater.

Sure but LL and TK lost by a very narrow margin. BD, BB, SVN, LH, and Kerk lost to eventual champs. Disappointing sure but that’s wrestling. Imagine what the team would have been had 3-4 of those close defeats were victories?

 

[KCLion]

What don't you understand about the fact that not all competitors look at their competition in terms like "getting even"?

In American English, that term has ALWAYS had connotations of strong, almost visceral disdain.

There's hatred, like Woody Hayes vs Michigan, and then there's mutual respect like Keckeisen vs Starocci, for example. I'd be pretty damn surprised if David feels a need to get even with Cael.

There was no mutual respect for Carter by Keck’s sister. Road the train with his Mom and sister after the finals. Mom was very cool, Keck’s sister referred to Carter as “that asshole from Penn State”.

Damn, she's spunky 😂

She'd fit right in at Cornell 😂...they call everyone on our roster that 😂

You have to keep in mind that both second and third place finishers lose just a single match, and third has at least one more win. Sometimes it’s just a matter of whether you get a hot guy in a quarter or semi.

Not a great look. OTOH, gotta respect family having each other’s back.

Reminds me of Starocci’s comment a couple years ago about being ready to join any brawl that might ensue when Coach Casey had words with another coach after a dual.

Regardless, I’ve been very impressed by Keck. Really enjoyed this interview after his loss to Carter.

After that, I like him even more. With that mindset, he is future coach material.

Is the 2025 Penn State Team Getting Overlooked?

 

[Cstroke]

Yes, Keck is a great dude… I really wish he and Carter didn’t share the same weight class.

 

[pennstaterincarolina]

For sure the guy I wanted to see win a title after any of our guys.

I was told that Gable apologized to Wyatt for his entry before the match.

If not for AB and CStar, Parker is probably a 3 timer.

Sorenson,Steveson, Imar etc…know how he feels
