While true, I'd rather not be reminded of that. It came at great cost.
Before we gloat too much, losing Nolf and Nickal to graduation might mean we have no champions next year.
Cassar is not likely to return. Hall can't handle Valencia on the big stage. Joseph was manhandled by Marinelli at B1Gs and by Lewis at Nationals. PSU could very likely be shut out next year too.

Are you 2020 Is Our Year? That's exactly the nonsense he would post, especially with the Tosu tag in the thread subject.
Next year is next year. We've won 8 of 9. I think we can gloat, regardless of next year.
I'd say it's possible, but I don't know about very likely. I think it's unlikely both of those 2 will lose again. Although Joseph may have a tougher road to the finals if he can't get past the Bull. I could see him being a 3-seed if both Marinelli and Lewis return at 165.
For wrestling ONLY, I won't pick, too much, on OSU east, as their young men conduct themselves as gentlemen on the mat and off the mat. It is hard to criticize them when you hear them speak, gracious young men that we would be proud to see representing our team as well. Clones of PSU wrestlers everywhere but on the podium *(had to get one shot in, double leg shot).
OSU's finalists were up against very tough opponents in each match and nearly won the first bout but lost in the last few seconds. A distant 2nd - just had to say that. They will be formidable in the future, a worthy opponent.
Football is a completely different issue, they are the enemy.

If we don’t have any next year, no one should be able to gloat about that since we’ve won 7 of the last 8 NC’s. But I bet they do, so now is the perfect time to gloat.
didnt I read this somewhere else? Didnt Tom straighten you out at least once today? SMH
Just as a side note Pittsburg took 34th place at the tournament. This goes well with their 2019 football recruit rating of 50th on rivals and 56th on 247.
8 of the last 9 actually. The second greatest run in in history of the sport and the single greatest run in the history of the modem sport
he posted the same stuff in another thread, this is a link to Tom's reply....

not quite the link but this is what he said....
Good grief.
It's too soon to say what Cassar will do. We've yet to hear if the NCAA approved his request for an additional year. He may decide to move on, or he may elect to return (if the NCAA grants his request). If he leaves, PSU has Seth Nevills to plug in, and he was a heck of a HS wrestler, and spent the past year gray shirting.
Hall and Valencia have met 3 times at NCAAs. Valencia has the series lead, 2-1. In non NCAA meetings during college, they are 1-1. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about which wrestler will win the next match.
Joseph lost to Marinelli at B1Gs. Yet Joseph made the NCAA finals, whereas Marinelli did not. Joseph will be a senior next year. In his first three seasons, he's reached the NCAA finals each year, and placed 1st, 1st, and 2nd. And he's someone about whom we should be concerned? That makes absolutely no sense.
PSU loses two great wrestlers in Nolf and Nickal. It's impossible to replace their firepower. That said, PSU's roster has a lot to look forward to.

Guess you just started watching. PSU had individual champions the last 9 yrs. why start complaining about next year. It’s been fun watching PSU wrestling.
