Good work sir.

Keep the updates coming please.

Thanks again, Jon.

To get back in this, we really needed a lot of bonus points. I was hoping Bo would get some, but he did not. It looks like OSU takes the crown. Let's regroup for the NCAA's.

I'm not the first to ask, but it needs repeating: WTF is wrong with Gulibon?!

Pinned 3 times. Unbelievable.

Not a wrestling expert but wasn't he the #2 seed? IIRC he's had 4 matches and been pinned 3 times????

Yes.

Even with Gullibon's curiously poor championships, PSU would likely be in the lead had Suriano not injured his ankle. If he's good to go for nationals, I like our chances.

I think a bye and 3 pins in 3 matches. Tough to win anything when you get zero points in the first 3 weight classes

IIRC I think he won 1 match yesterday to qualify for nationals. I'm not a wrestling expert and have no idea what's going on there- injury, sickness, some distraction?

That said, my impression of him is that he underperforms often. I could be wrong and will certainly defer to the wrestling experts here but he was pinned in 3 of 4 critical matches yesterday. The team really needed him to perform well (being a wrestler down compared to OSU and Iowa).

Good question.... I suspect there is an answer coming soon.

Potential has gotten a ton of baseball plyers managers FIRED in the bigs for sticking with a guy like this.

No, nobody is going to fire Cael but, people in the wrestling know, WTH ??

I know nothing, but doesn't this reek of some kind of injury?
