- Start date
During Rutgers' last very good season (2015-16, where they beat Cornell, Oregon State, North Carolina, Nebraska and Lehigh and lost to Minny by a point, among other close losses), the coaching staff at Rutgers had no idea who was going to win the dual with Nebby. Or at least it seemed that way in person. Of course, the match was tied at 16, so it came down to total match points scored.
Cornell beat Lehigh Sunday by 23-19 in a match where the teams split the 10 matches. Lehigh won 3 of 4 in the close ones and the other 6 were 4 lopsided Cornell results and 2 Lehigh. At least there was a lot of scoring. Think I'll give it a look on ESPN+

Vince Robinson beats Spratley to start it off. Great match. So happy we’re getting to the meat of the wrestling season now.
Title contender.
125 feels just like last year except everybody feels a little bit better

Nobody’s gonna like hearing this, but the energy DT has brought to OK State feels a lotttttt like the energy Cael immediately brought to PSU
It makes sense. Not sure what folks were expecting. DT is clearly a once in a lifetime type hire.
I love hearing it. PSU needs competition, and Iowa and tOSU aren’t doing it. Let’s see them set up an annual dual. Make it happen.
DT is going to personally get high profile jobs for Nolf, Marky, Nick, Zain, etc.
There’s no doubt. I still like our guys to perform best under the brightest lights, but
DT understands that way.

Evidence that DT is having a miraculous impact…Amine took a shot in the first!
Came to say the same thing. Amine scored 5 points in regulation. DT’s impact can’t be minimized here.
When is the last time he did that? Not counting 5 escapes against Mesenbrink.

Yeah, the Cowboys have good announcers. I think Hardell Moore is one of them.
My late grandmother-who was never at a loss for an apt expression-had one for this sort of situation:
"A new broom always sweeps clean".
Why was Gillman looking so stressed after Hughes pinned Orine, not reading anything into it but think it's a little funny.
Orine is having one TUFF year so far.

What Iowa fears is coming, I don't think it happens this year but Okie State will surpass Iowa with the Brands at the wheel.
Iowa needs to change their model but I think it's already a bit late for them.

I think the energy was expected.
As far as stepping onto the top of the mountain though, there are several differences between the beast Cael had to slay on his way to the top of the mountain and the beast DT must deal with to claim the title "king of the mountain."
When Cael was ascending Brands' double recruiting classes were coming to an end. Cael already had a way of getting his top guys to peak at nationals way more so than Brands. Cael, Casey and Cody even at the beginning of their run were superior evaluators of situational wrestling and planners devising solutions.
DT has a much more difficult climb. Cael isn't relying upon double recruiting classes, Cael and the boys have an abundance of talent already in the room and no let up in sight. Even if DT proves as capable as Cael, DT's path to the top is blocked by a much tougher and capable obstacle than Cael's path to the top was.
Agreed, Hardell Moore is excellent.
Glad to see he's bounced back. I worried he might be done after what looked like another concussion setback earlier this year.
Energy, plus the tangible element I haven't really seen in any other program until DT went there: Keep chasing majors, keep chasing techs.
I have seen Okie State twice and it just feels like the guys are tactically wrestling to get to the next level of a win. Decisions to majors, etc.
This is all true, and it's why DT will never approach the level of complete and utter dominance of every aspect of the sport that Cael has right now as long as Cael and the infrastructure he built at PSU is still there. However, if DT is successful in implementing the model in Ok St, they will have the resources to at least get on level terms (in a way that Brands/Ryan and the outdated Gable model never will), which will make for a very exciting rivalry.
Santoro threw my homeboy to the wolves in that one. First college match against a hungry Shapiro? Oy!
When you look at PSU's 24/25 recruiting classes back to back, it *feels* like a double recruiting class happened twice in a row. With all the excellent rentals and other OkS seniors, next year is going to be very interesting. Taylor loses a LOT this year. But to give him credit, he's gotten the most out of all the guys in their last college seasons.
Yeah but he never goes for the gusto.
DT has more than just transfers. For one, Hughes looked like the real deal last night in a big way.
Ok. He's got three non-transfers. Literally. And he loses the last 6 guys in the lineup after this year (Fish might have 1 more year, but you get the point).
Fish is done, but Travis Teague is still there (I think), so that should be a wash. Merrill is in RS and has looked really good. Lockett is coming next year. And the big thing, obviously, is that DT is using this year as a recruiting tool, and to that end, OK St has overachieved in a very Cael-ian fashion in everything they've done so far from dominating every dual to crushing it at the Cliff Keen. If they keep that up through nationals, they will quickly surpass Iowa and tOSU and Michigan as a premier destination. The Iowa-Ok St dual this year is probably my most anticipated match of the season, at least in terms of drama since PSU is going to boat race everyone. Expect DT's boys to really bring the heat vs Iowa to make a point.
Yeah. It's been strangely quiet since his GoFundMe. He's on IG and seems to have recovered and is leading a normal life.
