Cael's postmatch thoughts

We are so lucky to have him. What a stud. Cool and calm and will rip your heart out with his bare hands. Man crush on him. A couple changes and maybe we sneak in another natty.

He is pissed! He knows they should have won. He prepared them about as well as he could prepare them when pretty much everybody was giving it to Iowa at Carver. He is not happy although he disguises it well. His lineup is still changing and he will have them ready for March as all others have been put on warning. We are not in transition. We are here to win.

I like the way we think.
 
I would doubt Cael plays poker but if he did he would be a tough read. We all have tells, and if you watch video, the only time he closed his eyes (not blink) was talking about his lineup.
I think he has somebody to add to lineup.
He looked like a guy holding a high pair.

"Our lineup might continue to change".

Definitely curious about the lineup change comment. We all know Cael is notoriously guarded with the media. For him to make that comment, to me suggests something might be happening soon. Who knows what?

Realistically, what lineup changes could there be? Berge? Beard? If its Beard, we probably find out in the next week. Possibly Shak gets today to figure it out?

Really not sure. I'm curious to find out, though. My only point is that for him to mention the possibility of lineup changes publicly, which he didn't have to do, it suggests something is going to happen. Should be FUN!

Yeah. I would thing he is more encouraged than being “ p I s s e d”
 
Im on the Beardwagon, but that was good!
I'm on the "BeardWagon" also, but just not willing to concede Shak can't improve in 4 weeks. To me, he's always been a tad inconsistent. If he's the guy in March, I hope he surprises some people, me included.

He was injured last year too, so he hasn't been "himself" going on 2 years.

The guy that cradled through the scuffle and beat out cassar may not be able to be all the way back unfortunately

Then again lightning in a bottle has been caught before and he + this staff are just the people to do it....

Plus, it is more than 4 weeks. B1Gs are 5 weeks out, Nationals 6-1/2 weeks. Small improvements day-to-day can add up.
 
I just want to see Shak cradle up and pin somebody! He hasn't had the easiest opponents to get the train moving down the tracks. He needs a couple of cupcakes to get his momentum rolling. Enter Maryland;)
I just want to see him take and finish on a shot. Something more than just pushing on a guys head. Then I hope to see the release of the Shraken and that monster cradle.

Thank you Ian for writing “should have.” From now on, if I see any post containing “should have”, I will give it a like, unless it is a troll post and/or a post that concedes PSU won’t win and/or a totally stupid post. :)

Nope. Sitting today. I sure hope he gets there, though he hasn't given much reason for optimism yet. There is still time.
 
I think Q was winning in February though.

Not really. Won a few but lost to unranked Tony Dallago (0-2 at NCAAs that season of Illinois, got majored by Steinhaus (8th at NCAAs that season) of Minnesota, and got pinned by Travis Rutt (7th at NCAAs that season) of Wisconsin. Pretty awesome improvement from Q in the last 2 weeks of the season to win BIGs and he did it by beating Rutt in the quarter finals, Dallago in the semi finals and Steinhaus in the finals.
