No, my trifocals screwed me up. I corrected to 137.5, but was already quoted. 55 is a stunning margin of victory, Maybe we have a higher goal to shoot for?

Just caught up on the Iowa troll stuff and he’s been banned
Perhaps Iowa's basketball and wrestling teams can give them some pointers?
Pretty sure Moroni would fall in the false prophet category also, real, or not. Personally, I am an atheist and don't care one way or another. More power to them all.
That is Sasso's bread and butter - give up a leg and scramble into a TD. He's very good at this and would have had the tying TD against Yianni with another couple seconds.
Even more worth noting.
National titles last 12 years:
Penn State - 10
Iowa - 1
tOSU - 1
Everyone else - 0
2 first, 3 second , 2 thirds, and 1 -7th and a 54 point win. So a great year for the good guys.
Surprised ESPN + doesn't at least show the trophy presentation. Kind of asinine. Espn3 used to show it and that shit was free.
So when does recruiting, transfer and 2023/2024 lineup talk start, tomorrow? LOL
This year's tournament was the best I can remember. Unexpected outcomes from the first round to the Finals. Exciting matches to showcase our great sport in the semis and finals, unlike some 1-1 OT snoozefests that have been showcased in the past. I think the sport likely picked up some new fans tonight!
Our finals weren't what we are used to, going 2-3, but I can't even say I'm disappointed. We essentially wrapped the team title up Friday night, had 8 AAs, and outperformed our seeds at many weights.
I feel for RBY and Dean, as I'm sure this isn't how they envisioned to close our their college careers, but I can't wait to see where they go next.
This tournament made me even more excited about next year. We have the next wave geared up and ready to take the torch! Levi, Bartlett, and even Facundo are going to be lights out next year, and hopefully, we get to see AB and CStar go for their 4th.
It's a great night to be a PSU Wrestling fan!

Absolutely in basketball. Watch the most exciting iowa basketball team in a long time. They play tomorrow at 3pm
Where is the dislike button?
55 point margin? I figured Penn State would win comfortably this year, but not this comfortably!
Im just giving psu nation a hard time. It’s your world in wrestling, everyone else is just living in it. You guys win with class and Cael is a class act too.
"Gumby". I mentioned this yesterday, but had it not been for Yianni's insane flexibility when Murin had him very close to nearfall criteria he would have lost that match and not been a 4-timer. Yianni had several razor-close Finals matches against McKenna and Meredith also. It just goes to show how miniscule the margin for error is sometimes.
The tournament is currently broadcast nationally so we should move it a week so it won't be broadcast nationally.
HR is celebrating tonight - Penn State lost 3 times in the finals, and Iowa only 1.
Probably worth noting that Greg is 20 lbs heavier this year and maybe that is a factor? Not quite as fast. Hard to say from my seat. Parris was on fire. No doubt.
I don’t really care who they interview but I should never, ever, ever see their faces during wrestling action. I don’t even care what their view is…from behind their heads.
Did I say ever???
Annoying as #^@ when they do that. 4 active matts and they're they're televising interviews. Ugh
The also had one wrestler throw 3 places worth of points away and probably 4 bonus points.
Until Vito, Fix was never bonused in college. And if you missed it:
"Arujau was named Outstanding Wrestler of the NCAA Championships, and Cornell coach Mike Grey was named tournament Coach of the Year."
Makes sense to me. Beat #1 and 2, and your team comes in 3rd.
Vito as OW I agree with. Cael winning by 55 points, yet Grey winning the CotY is silly. Whatever I guess.
He was not enrolled, he's not done, he's not graduating. The entire team returns with the exception of Yianni, who will be replaced by The One That Got Away.
Our guys losing is the closest thing Iowa fans will get to a title this weekend. I imagine Spencer losing (and now questions about his future period is being asked) has to be way worse than losing a team title since it was a 6 year thing they’ve been waiting for so let them enjoy it and pretend to be Cornell fans and vicariously live through Vito kicking RBY’s ass and Yianni winning 4.
