NWCA ALL-STAR CLASSIC

[Psubiomed]

Great job by our guys tonight! Bernie will be fine.

Correct. Top 2 guys met and they'll do this again in Kansas City.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Ferrari between Scylla and Charybdis.

 

[Rhino80]

Whatever that was from Truax aside, outstanding performance from the PSU bunch tonight. I think Greg is finally healthy!!!!

 

[Psubiomed]

Ferrari between Scylla and Charybdis.

So he's Sting?

 

[pish69]

Best I’ve seen Kerk look since he’s been here. What a performance.

Happy with all are guys performances. Yeah Bernie shut it down but will be a good learning experience. His defense and his ability to score from so far outside is gonna be problems for guys.

 

[Rocky_Smith]

Final match Kerk against Greatest Amrican Hero Hendrickson.
….

Action has slowed….

Haha, I didn’t see action slow that much.

That was a last second loss to a guy nobody else but Bernie can beat. He's fine, relax

 

[El-Jefe]

Has nobody watched a Bernie Truax match before this year? Seriously guys, not to be an asshole but he’s a very good wrestler who is a redshirt senior and mostly is what he is at this point.

He’s gonna be counter reliant, really hard to finish on, a great scrambler and really good on top against 90 percent of the country.

That’s what we signed up for and it’s worked really, really well for like 3 years

And: Cael knew all of this when he brought Truax in.

We'll get the best version of him, but he's not gonna turn into Jason Nolf.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Haha, I didn’t see action slow that much.

Lol. It did for a minute then BAM. Kerk went beastmode again. Lol

 

[Chickenman Testa]

But what if Iowa adds the Ferraris? We’re doomed regardless!!!!

 

[PD4thespawn]

Three minutes ago, the scoreboard clock said 5:00. Then, it jumped to 7:00. Assume Flo is having streaming issues they're working out.

My brokerage company showed a balance of nearly 7 million when I signed in yesterday. I thought one of my specs hit. Alot of companies are having issues lately. Got gold?

 

[GogglesPaizano]

WOW, and I mean wow! Whomever said this one was 50/50 is a complete idiot. That was the best version of Kerkcules I've ever seen.



Three of our studs with bonus decisions and embarrassment of riches. These are the best of times.

 

[Psubiomed]

Thank God above I didn't pay for Flo. Happy to watch the replay on YouTube

 

[zzs006]

I did not see that coming. I knew he was bettter on the mat after their match at nationals last year but I thought neutral might lean towards Hendrickson. If Kerk wrestles like that all season there might be another name in the running for the Hodge

 

[mcpat]

We’ve seen a lot of incredible wrestling at Rec Hall and BJC over the past decade and a half; I don’t think we ever seen three bonus wins over three #2’s.

Avoid Facebook because they’re out there. They make Grip and Ironbird sound like the McNeil-Lehrer report

Ferrari between Scylla and Charybdis.

I read that as "Ferrari between Syphilis and Chlamydia"

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Mmmhmmmm. He’s really good!! Nothing about tonight changes that. If anything, he led the prohibitive favorite for much of the match. And for as much as Keckeisen was the aggressor, he really wasn’t close to finishing most of those shots.

 

[nerfstate]

Welp, I think this team might have some legs . . . We didn't even see Nagao, Beau, Levi, or Mitchell (or Braeden, for that matter).

 

[SLUPSU]

[Still in State College]

Kerk has a higher career bonus rate than Carter. But narratives gonna narrative.

It isn't about bonus. I would just like him a little nastier especially in the big matches.

We deserve better

 

[Foreverinbluejeans57]

Could you imagine the PR nightmare if Gable comes back and doesn’t win a title? Not that WWE cares a lot about ncaa wrestling but it would definitely be another shot to his marketability.

1st pd TF against #2 next time?

It’s not that we don’t know what Bernie is, I think most here (me included) were disappointed in the effort. There’s never an excuse to be hit with 3 or 4 stallings. Could have easily been 5-6, whatever the maximum is. Just, freaking, shoot.

 

[johnstownsteel]

It must be a kick in the balls to be a Hawk fan... witness that tonight and then realize you didnt even see Nagao, Bartlett, Haines and Mesenbrink take the mat.

It's November. That's how I look at it. Dropped a weight class, trained through the match?, tried certain things to get data on future methods of attack...who knows. Cael is the best at applying lessons learned. Maybe Keck is better. Whole season ahead. Enjoy the ride.

 

[AndEEss]

In his matches two weekends ago and tonight he looked like a guy still getting used to 184, and cutting weight, again.

I’m not saying to give up on Bernie, he will still finish very high in March. I just disagree with Clay questioning some people’s reactions tonight like we should accept a guy constantly fleeing action.

I doubt Cael was pleased with Bernie’s effort. Bernie probably had more stallings tonight than Cael had in his 4 years. I hope PSU can coach up his effort, but I’ve rarely seen wrestlers wrestle looser in March. It usually gets worse.

No big deal. They will all be around next year, too. Plenty of opportunities for our pals to get a look!

 

[Crusher1950]

And we have people on this board last nite saying how Gabe will beat Carter you people know nothing about wrestling

 

[Sportfan2017]

I know some won't like this, but Flo streaming was 100% the entire night for me. I will keep paying the yearly rate too. Well worth it on my end. There......I said it

 

[pish69]

JD gonna get Arnold killed..he fuels the fire at end of interview

On a sour note, PSU lost the dual 18-16... lol

 

[donboy6499]

Re: Truax, I have watched one of his matches outside of ncaa in my life and it was an extremely weird pin to Trumble last year where he looked like he turned into the pin.

I’m not all that knowledgeable on him, but last season turned out ok and I expect this one will as well.

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

I am here and did not hear any boos! Actually cheers for the throw she did. Unless there was more than one Iowa wrestler. We only got here in time for the last female wrestling bout.

There were some boos from behind us and funny enough Cael looked over smiled and gave a thumbs up. True story.
