This may be posted elsewhere, but it is certainly derserving of its own thread. Very happy for Max and it’s quite the compliment for the program in a very open and honest way.
Max Dean interview - impressive
- Thread starter PSU Yinzer
- Start date
Definitely more impressive than Suriano's corn rows!
Those were disgusting! And more ridiculous than when David Beckham had corn rows!
I guess he moved to Michigan to try to look like Eminem or something!

Having brothers I can relate to the bond he and Gabe share with each other. What an interview…I love watching stuff like this! I’m so happy for him and his family.
Yup, the corn-rows are a personal choice and have at it, Nick, they may be stylish (I wouldn't know as I'm old).
But the mustache attempt is egregious - if that's the best you can do on your upper lip, you need to forget about it and concentrate on facial hair elsewhere. Old or young - everyone knows that.
You guys think Dean returns ? If so, does Beard? Not trying to create drama or panic , just wanted to hear thoughts
Naw. If Dean decides to move on I don’t see many people panicking. To be honest, I’m kinda wanting Beard to get his own shot now and I wouldn’t be surprised one bit to see Max hanging around the club and the college team helping to prepare Michael to go get his. I think that would be so cool.
This^^^* I want Michael Beard to get his chance with us next year. I want Beard to beat Mr. Fast Twitch
My Dad made this point to me, long ago when I had a "mustache" like that, by asking, "Why don't you put some milk on your upper lip, and let the cat lick it off?"
We didn't even have a cat.

That was great. Heart and gut wrenching.
Max made a post on his Instagram today that said he can't wait to do it again with the team next year.
I was thinking it sounded like Beard may need a med year next year, if so, we will need Mad Max.
That’s awesome he is coming back. I was hoping

It's always been my observation that because the individualistic nature of wrestling and the inculcation to never quit, wrestlers are never "happy medium". They are really great individuals or complete sociopaths.
Hence there's a teenage girl out there with orders that if you date a wrestler; he meets Uncle Pitchfork.
It's not only good to follow a team that excels on the mat; but all indications are they are well grounded off the mat.
They all recognized their God given ability and parental/family/team support.

I hope Beard is willing to stay the course with us but obviously I don't fault the kid for doing what he feels is best for him. He has sacrificed so much and has done everything the coaches asked of him. He's already AA'ed once, he very well could have been the second best 197 in the Big Ten and Nation this year since he was right with Max in the wrestle off and got robbed against Schultz in the home dual.
I didn’t watch Suriano’s post-match interview, but I can only imagine how off-the-wall it was.
Another possibility is he goes Cassar, and somewhere else. He's a management major and that is a pretty portable degree.
I seem to recall he weighed in at 206 for a dual this year, but ultimately didn't wrestle.
It probably wouldn't be hard for him to be 230-235 by next fall.
It could have been worse, but he had the creepy eyes thing going.
Can someone post it if they come across it? I can’t find it. TIA
I’ve always liked watching him and wish things had worked out at PSU, but my god is he odd.
"I don't know if I want to be understood." was the first statement I am confident I correctly understood. 😉
“In terms of what I’m representing…and that’s myself”.
I heard and understood that one completely. Lol
But is it? You guys are probably right and he’s going to return next year but maybe he’s been telling Michael all year “you’re helping me get mine so I’ll be here next year to help you get yours.” Maybe he sticks around at the club and becomes a training partner for Michael. That to me would be so freaking cool if that happened.
He is one heck of a wrestler and I appreciate that but he lives in an alternative universe.

I was worried that maybe I missed a deeper philosophical meaning wrapped inside that statement.
This is such a bizarre interview. For a moment I thought I was really really high trying to make sense of it all... then I remembered I haven't done drugs in 20 years.
I think it was his use of hand gestures throwing you off. Lol
The cupping of the microphone, the finger rapping of the table, the hand gestures, the closed eyes, the unblinking wide eyes, and the shifting from extreme right to left eyes all may've conspired to pull a Svengali on me.

I have to say, there are some funny mofos on this board. Lmao
not that he owes Michael B anything, I just thought there would have been a shout out to him somewhere. I was thinking they were making each other better.
Well spoken young man who wouldn't want him around the room. Awesome stuff. We are
he's all over the place... makes me think he is afraid to say something on his mind...
