Might still want to temper the expectations

 

[4INSBU]

He can win first two I think. After that it's anybody's guess

"Coach Speak" according to YG.

Whether he scores 0 points or 25 points, I'm just happy he's well enough to be in the room rolling around.

Or did Cael just mean he's wrestling in the tourney and not actually in the room wrestling.

Oh I hate all this coach speak...

I think That Cory Clark is not going to be 100 percent, due to the fact that he is wearing a shoulder harness and a bowling hand, but you know, that's coach speak.

I would like to see a healthy Suriano wrestle Gilman one more time. Couple of brutes at 25.

You might say they would be peaking!

In the 1971 NCAA tournament, Darrell Keller was there after missing a lot of the latter part of the season due to a dislocated shoulder. He made the finals and then beat Larry Owings 16-12 and was awarded OW.

TRow and Funky show yesterday had some interesting speculation on Nick. Fun to listen to their analysis on the bIG tourney

 

[diggerpup]

You guys should go back and stream the radio show.

David Taylor is interviewed in the last 15 mins, and he has some fantastic comments and insight.

Let's just say he misses wrestling for PSU and lives our fan base .... And he sees the current team like his "little brothers".... And he gets super nervous before their matches.

DT has some hysterical Jason Nolf stories as well.. Definitely worth the listen.

I'm not sure that I understand your comment. Do you think that I made that up?

 

[GOLDBANGER]

I'm not sure that I understand your comment. Do you think that I made that up?

Absolutely not. Just meant that I'm down with the optimism. Hoping Suriano can pull off the same type of performance.

 

[dsites52]

My coworker: "So, do you think that Suriano kid is gonna be able to wrestle next weekend?"
Me:

 

[johnstownsteel]

I'm not sure that I understand your comment. Do you think that I made that up?

No. Matter of fact, I can't think of anyone on this board that just goes around making $h!t up....

 

[AgSurfer]

Got it. Personally, I think there is room for optimism. The more I saw of Suriano, the more impressed I became. He's one tough dude, and I think he's going to go out there with every intention of winning it all.
