Lilledahl will beat Ramos, Figs, AND Robinson.
Iowa dual thread - Jan 31
- Thread starter PSUwrestling
- Start date
No. MM has two more years after this year. If he continues to win, score at anything near his current pace, and pick up a Hodge or two along the way, he’ll end up with a collegiate career that’s right up there with other PSU greats.
Don’t act surprised. You read that in the membership pledge book before we let you join.
A few thoughts:
@SeamusGQuaker just went off on GIA. A post for the ages. Managed to insult entire states, the Brands and DT in one fell swoop. @johnstownsteel is a milquetoast in comparison
Hawky42 is giving Grip a run for his money
All the talk about Kasak’s acne on GIA. Have they seen the Ferrari boys? Dudes could make good money on YouTube popping zits for followers

We will see. Bold prediction for a guy who lost to Dean Peterson.
Ferrari is not the guy.
Bob and Tom know they are not winning it all in 2025. Being short-sighted (as you alluded to), they think they can buy enough guys and keep them healthy enough for a few months to challenge in 2026. Therefore, redshirt Ferrari in ‘25, but give him his one possible sample against an all-time #1 so he experiences/learns firsthand what it means to be dominant in NCAA D1 Wrestling. Then he has all the tools and experience to make a run at greatness next year.
Gabe will be filler in ‘25 and gain valuable experience in the art of total bullshit before he takes the mat for Rutger in ‘26.
Mark Hall also lost one match his freshman year. Who did he lose too Madden? 😂
I saw that. Seamus went full Defcon 5 on them. Johnstown would be proud
😂.
@jmadden1998 - counselor, this logic seems unimpeachable. Your rebuttal?
My thoughts:
Luke looked great. Based on his career and tonight's results, I think he is going to see a lot of wrestlers try to wrestle a defensive match against him.
SVN has all the tools to win it all.
That was a great shot and finish by Tyler. He did a great job working with what Teemer offered and didn't take the bait by taking half-hearted shots or getting out of position. His ride and ability to quickly escape paid dividends. Very smart match.
Mitchell did that against the #2 ranked wrestler? Wow!
Levi was tough and patient. His finishes and defense were top notch. O'Toole's projected return date in late February doesn't bode well for him in a rematch with Levi. Along with O'Toole and Hamiti, Levi is right there to contend for another national championship.
This being the first time Carter wrestled Ferrari, I wasn't totally surprised by the match. Carter showed Ferrari a lot of respect because I think he knows how good Ferrari is and he also knows that his defense is so good that he didn't need to place himself in vulnerable positions trying to score on Ferrari.
Josh wrestled well overall, but the typical freshman weaknesses of being ridden and giving up quick escapes reared its ugly head. Had Josh been able to ride Buchanan another three seconds I would not have been surprised at all to see that match go into overtime, which I would have loved to watch. I was surprised Josh wasn't more active in using head snaps. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Josh does against Cardenas. I guess the final thing to be said is that Cael's record is no longer in jeopardy!
Greg looked great. He, Steveson and Hendrickson are the cream of the crop at 285.

Alex Meyer=Dean Peterson.
Both January road losses, both were either first or second time on the road.
I’d argue Bartlett/SVN/Haines all have a better chance than Kerk does. Gable is as big of a lock as Mitchell.
Absent him not knowing he was down a RT point as the last seconds ticked off the clock.
Yep. After a few years I’ve come to the conclusion That I hate the 3 point TD for sure
Leave him alone. He’s on a post dual roll
Sorry, I've been drinking the kool-aid on this board with the talk of a Kerk upset.
Can't argue with that compelling and well thought out argument.
MSU has changed his lab from how to beat PSU to how to keep PSU from scoring 172 points.
There are Penn State haters, and then there is MSU158.
I'm convinced his wife left him for a Penn State wrestler 😂

Absent him gifting Carr an easy takedown in the 1st.
People keep focusing on him giving up 1 pt and forgetting how he gave up 3.
When the 3” Binder does eventually show up in a museum, people will shake their heads and chuckle when they see all the crayon notes in the margins.
Next to the third week in March, the annual beat Down of Iowa is unmatched 😂
MSU158 is the poster child for Stockholm Syndrome.
He tries so hard to fit in over there, and if he steps within 3 feet of the line, they beat him mercilessly. Which obviously means he needs to try harder to fit in.
Yes, that's true. Important distinction. Thank you, cheers.
Ok, I went over the line there, 😂
Sorry but the Iowa beating is a drunken party 😂
That’s fair, though it is also natural to feel the most angst over what does/doesn’t happen in the closing minute.
I love how Brands calls Cael..."Sanderson"...
Daddy works better though

I really liked Stolls "Shoot for the Knee" episode.
Tommy should address him as "Sir" or "Your Lordship".
Sorry man — to be clear, I was not trying to knock your post. Just having a fan flashback to the frustration of knowing what he didn’t in real time, while having every confidence he would have gotten what he needed in the closing seconds if only he knew he needed it. He was the better wrestler, which made that kind of loss a tough pill to swallow.
Fortunately, it does not appear it will
hold him back at all this season.
Seriously, though, if he follows the 184 logic and puts Angelo against Plott, that is going to be fun
