I thought everyone looked really good today, even Shunk and Pierce battled really tough.
I think he's more of a Rutgers guy but his hatred of Iowa makes him a de facto PSU fan as well.
Carter is opening it up even more this year, having not even spent an entire 7 minutes on the mat yet. MM and Carter seem to have the same style on the feet. Iron sharpens iron.Carter is the post-match interview with Ironhead.
On Mesenbrink: He's always busy doing something. He sat next to Casey on the bus and talked his ear off the whole trip, thank goodness he wasn't sitting next to me!
There wasn’t timeI hate to be the one to say it but this was the one time they really went for the gusto and there was no mention of it.
i think he’s saying “no, you don’t have to be”
I once took a lip reading class from YouTube. I'm 99% sure he's saying "now they'll make fun of me"

Line was KOT by 6.5. Saved his mentor Askren who took him in the Frl pick emRamirez woke him up with that takedown.
The whole second half of the dual, must have been a quick dump.I went to the crapper... what did I miss?
.Put Amine on more duals BTN. He was very good
There are a lot of recent wrestlers who are good on the mic, if only the dinosaurs Johnson and Gibbons would make room.Put Amine on more duals BTN. He was very good
I have no doubt that he's right there with him, I just hope that they've worked on something in the room that will surprise him.KOT looked good, but I didn't see anything to make me think Messenbrink can't hang with him.
Oh goodness Carter. Lol.
Unwise, you said everything you needed to say on the mat.
Again with a post about 125!1:25 is a pretty fast match
Way back, I used to work with a guy who is a “wig” at Md school of pharmacy. He’s a wrestling fan and was at the match. From what he could gather, Clemson was upset with Carter’s sportsmanship. He went out of his way to embarrass a kid who did not belong on the mat. I offered that getting pins is the objective of the game. My old Bud replied: “what the fook is one extra point in a blowout”.I have complete confidence that someone on this board will get the scoop on why Clemsen was butt-hurt.
If the point didn’t matter, and the kid didn’t belong on the mat, then Clemson should’ve forfeited….It’s B1G wrestling & Carter gonna do Carter things….Way back, I used to work with a guy who is a “wig” at Md school of pharmacy.

Surprised how soft Clemsen is.I don't recall anyone ever complain when Nolf routinely did the same thing. I did cringe a bit when Starocci's opponent practically begged to be put out of his misery and kind of wish Carter had obliged. But Clemsen shouldn't have been surprised, Carter doesn't care who you are, he's going to try and maximize points and he's not going to be polite about it.

That guy would've hated Jason Nolf.Way back, I used to work with a guy who is a “wig” at Md school of pharmacy. He’s a wrestling fan and was at the match.

How about Zain?That guy would've hated Jason Nolf.
That's what I saw.Oh goodness Carter. Lol.
This post did indeed age well. 🤣It would be much more interesting to hear him discuss Zain. But that might trigger PTSD.
You’ve hit the nail on the head in regard to Maryland wrestling. They want to enjoy cocktails and bacon wrapped scallops in the club. Carter ain’t servin nothin but a good ole can a whup ass.If the point didn’t matter, and the kid didn’t belong on the mat, then Clemson should’ve forfeited….It’s B1G wrestling & Carter gonna do Carter things….
Unless Bobby Telford is on the lineOn one hand good for the Maryland Coach sticking up for his guy. On the other hand, grow the F up this isn't 8U Wrestling. It's not Casey or Carter's Fault that the grown a** man that you put on the mat is too terrified to compete. As a coach you either motivate him to compete or put somebody else out there who wants to be there.
I don't get it. That kid has probably put tens of thousands of hours into training, conditioning, and competing for well over a decade to become a Division 1 Wrestler. He's suddenly gifted an opportunity to wrestle an all-time great in a match where no one alive expects him to have a shot, and that's the result?
This was house money. It should have been Vespa vs. Lee or Todrank vs. Nolf. You are going to lose. Badly. Why not let it fly and at least have fun in the moment? It was like his only goal was to not be pinned, and he would achieve it by allowing Carter to Tech him. Hang em up bro, this sport isn't for you.
Yeah Zain would have made that guy look like an Auntie Anne pretzel.How about Zain?
There was more gusto-going-for today than I’ve ever seen in a match.I hate to be the one to say it but this was the one time they really went for the gusto and there was no mention of it.
