Oh, yep, forgot.
I do think he has a shot at a gold medal in the Summer olympics, in fact I think we can get two of them this year for the first time in what seems like a long time.

Begs the question, returning 3 potential champs, should Hall take a redshirt or should we add a 4th n go all in?
Stongly agree Morgan went all DEFENSE !!!! That is not very smart when it's your last college match....Then he hugs Cox...WOW...Pissed me off to the max.....Wrestle to win Morgan !!!! UNREAL !!!!

thanks espn3 for cutting the link so we can't watch the video to the end of the presentations... yeesh
"Good Job" with the Awards coverage by ESPN...NOT! Could they have had a worse camera angle? Heck they didn't even show the individual wrestlers gettng their awards. The bozo with the camera set it down on the seat next to him and gave us a nice shot of the crowd watching the awards presentation. Epic fail!
Wonder if he confused it with Most Dominant.
Great if he won both.
Byers went off the air without announcing it.
Why? They support the program. But let's be honest, the wtestling program isn't bringing in millions of dollars for its success. The lay of the land. The AD and President are leading a major university which brings in millions on research, academics and sports. Wrestling isn't one of them....it's a business man.
Cortez, Joseph and Cassar could be contenders - how do you know they aren't contenders for titles when you haven't even seen them wrestle at PSU yet? IMHO, Jimmy is a title contender if he goes back down to 33 - maybe Cortez could wrestle 25, anybody know if there is any chance that he could wrestle 25? He's got plenty of time to get their if the Staff has told him that is the plan for next year. Hard to say how many title contenders PSU will have in their line-up until mid-January of 2017 imho.

Looks like it is still unfolding. Surprised that both ESPN3 and Byers went off the air without covering those awards.
Great season and great tournament for our guys. Obviously I would have loved to see the team go 5/5 tonight but in the end it was great watching these kids wrestle today. Morgan has always been a class act and great kid. I'm sad he couldn't pull out a championship.
I also hope Jason and Bo aren't feeling too discouraged. Plenty of insanely talented and successful guys fell just short their first time including David Taylor, Ed Ruth, and even world champ Kyle Snyder. Those guys will be back in the finals.
Zain Retherford is just too much for anyone to handle. He's on of the most dominating wrestlers I've ever seen.
And Nico. I couldn't be happier to see him win. He's everything you could ever want in a student athlete. He really earned that title and really out wrestled an outstanding Thomas Gilmam who is just exceptional. Nico will always be one of my favorite PSU wrestlers.
What a great season! I can't wait until next year'

You truly are an @sshole criticizing Morgan for being classy at the end of the match and saying he "pissed you off to the max" - you really are a tool criticizing a kid for being a great representative of PSU and btw, who gives a phlying phuck whether it pissed you off or not....your sense of entitlement and that these kids "owe you" something is really disgusting and disgraceful.
Cortez wrestled in a tourney at 41 late in the year I believe. So 33/41 is the question. Suspect Suriano goes at 125.
No Zain? And Jimmy back to 133 if he is to have more success. He's not long enough for 141.
Tell that to J'Den Cox.
If that guy weighs 197 pounds, I am president of the United States.
Bo and Jason, I GUARANTEE will be back: Think about this: BOTH David Taylor and Kyle Snyder GOT PINNED their first time, and yep, BOTH of their opponents were underdogs. Bo losing to an underdog as a "huge upset" like Johnson said, was not that big of a deal. It happens.
Somebody actually beat Wade Schalles his sophomore year.

Dude, Nolf had the toughest openent in the tourney, Bo...River Boat Gambler...gambled and lost...period!
Who is taller, Jimmy or Cortez? They don't list heights on the Official Roster or Bios at GoPSUsports.com, anybody know what Jimmy's and Jared's heights are? I would rather see Jimmy back at 33 if Cortez can wrestle 41 because Jimmy simply could not handle, and had no answer for, the length he was giving up to most of the 41 lbers.
zain looked so good tonight. he just dominated sorensen who is far and away the second best wrestler at that weight.one thing popped into my mind as they raised zain's arm. how good is that freaking aaron pico. i'm not even sure he's out of high school yet. it's a damn shame we'll never see him wrestle a collegiate match. congrats nittany lions. one hell of a year.
There was a lot of dust in the air as I watched that...My happiest championship. God, that kid came so close so many times. If you are a PSU fan you have to love this story book ending!
