The over/under needs to be something like 11.5 or 12.5.

Either way, the smart money was on the over!

Only because Edinboro stopped giving out swords

 

[7brwnpsu]

Kurt took care of business what a luxury to have such a lineup.

 

[SlipperyPete12]

Where’s the pbp for Ryder vs Walsh?

He was up at the same time as Starocci. I covered Carter. Way too many PSU wrestlers to cover them all. We'll see more of Zack in the finals.

 

[PAHURDLER]

Byers said he lost 13-1?

[SlipperyPete12]

I bet Davis is disappointed he's not getting a shot at one of those Flack Jacket trophies.

 

[7brwnpsu]

Also, we are so spoiled, watching some non-PSU matches are tough. The attack rate is so different.

[Raw Daddy]

Gable coming back knocks you guys down a peg, thank god. and hopefully you'll go with Facundo at 157. Davis could pull a Davis again. Bartlett is taking 3rd. I'll cross my fingers that Lilledahl sucks on the mat.

I'm not saying it's certain. But there's a path to PSU taking second.

Are you talking about our backups taking 2nd?

They gave them out last year!

[BruceK-PSU83]

That's a couple times now that Byers has referred to SVN as a "4th year sophomore". Does that mean that SVN definitely got a medical RS in 2023-24 and has eligibility through 2026-27?

It's not official (you apply after your eligibility is up) but Shayne will 100% get one for last year.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Well, if it's not official yet, seems premature for Byers to speak as if it was a done deal.

“Pull a Davis”

- Go from lightly heralded mid-40s recruit to B1G Champ, #1 seed at NCAAs and #1 ranked wrestler in country as True Freshman, losing at nationals by a point to the national champ and by SV in the blood round.

Ain’t the put-down that Iowa fans seem to think it is.

Time to define “Pull a Spencer, Pull a Marinelli, Pull a DeSanto, etc?

[amattaro]

Anyone else notice Mitch’s subtle troll of letting the guy go to the mat for a restart before telling ref he wants to start neutral?
