re: Before Cael 4x AA's
His stats are impressive, but temper the praise with the realization that for years, freshmen couldn't start, so 4x AA's were out of the question.
just sayin'

Freshmen became eligible to start in 1969?

While that's true, that doesn't affect the 15 years post-Sunny with only Phil Davis as a 4x AA.

I hate to break it to you but once Cael and Casey's kids graduate Penn State will come back down to earth...

No

I think this is sarcasm but for real, look at the coaching potential of some of guys in the program or recent grads. Even when Cael hangs it up we’ll be fine. Too many great wrestlers to have one of them come back and pick up where he and Casey leave off.

Yes, it was complete sarcasm. Dating back to when Iowa fans were saying that PSU would come back to earth when Taylor and Ruth graduated. The program is in good hands for the long haul..
