To follow up on your “PS”, if Paddy had gone to PSU, with a different coach and the best room in the country, his trajectory might have been different.
Wrestling Penn State vs. Ohio State Dual Thread (2/3/23)
- Thread starter CSauertiegPSU
- Start date
Yes, passive comments about it while even more passive comments about how great we are as a fan base will do.
I'll let it string out for a while and make a comment like people from Ohio don't know wrestling.
Someone can then make aggressive comments tying Jim Jordan's record to the entire state and fanbase.
We can then follow up with we are the greatest place on earth for wrestling and see what happens.
Haines 1.0 (well, 3.0 depending on who you ask and where)
Is he? I mean this is who he was to begin the year sans a bad weight cut at the Army Open. Not to say he isn’t improving, that would be silly. But he was a very good, AA caliber kid to begin the year who has improved as he’s gotten more mat time. This is just sort of what he is and now everyone is being exposed to it
I have to admit to being bummed when we lost out on Chance Marsteller and had to settle for that Bo Nickal guy. My disappoint went away pretty fast.
Exhibit A: Jimmy Gulibon

He was wrong on the backtrip. The OSU kid was a definition of what is not allowed. But he evened things when he did not give OSU a point for PSU pulling on the singlet.
Wait until Sealy gets here.
Sorry Bo you're wrong by the rules. The top wrestler must hold the bottom wrestler at a 45 for 2 consecutive swipes/ seconds.
I do not know if I am alone in this thought, but I think, in many ways, Penn State’s toughest dual has been Iowa State.
It was. It may have been the most fun dual also. ISU showed to wrestle, not to keep it close.
You are right. It was fun. Kind of nail-biting, which is what you like in wrestling, or any sport, for that matter.
Some quotes from the Penn St vs Iowa St thread.
Dude. You have too much available time on your hands.
Your feelings are hurt because a couple PSU fans think the ISU match was more fun to watch than the Iowa match.
You’re mad because it shows your statement now didn’t match your comments during that match.
I’m pretty sure all those were in 1 match. SVN vs Paniro. Keep cherry picking. Iowa state was a fun dual overall and definitely more entertaining than the Iowa dual.
Your reasoning and ability to process and think led you to conclude that my dislike for Johnson's wrestling style is absolute evidence that I could not have found the entire PSU v ISU more entertaining than the PSU v Iowa match?
For an intellectual reach that is rather pathetic. But, hey knock yourself out. I find it rather humorous you are offended by the thought PSU wrestling fans were more entertained by the Cyclones' efforts compared to the Hawks' efforts. Hell, if it turns out the Cyclones end up being that team that always finishes ahead of Iowa when Iowa is finishing somewhere behind Penn State I think you might join your typical HR brethren with the typical HR post nationals meltdown.
You all have become a little more accepting of your place in line, some place to the rear of Penn State. The idea of being second best in wrestling in the state of Iowa scares you guys worse than the realization you aren't catching PSU.
exactly. transformation to 100% troll has occurredI appreciate your contributions but you’re getting very very close to this:
I don't think pointing out reality is trolling. I love this board, but during the ISU dual it seemed as if I had fallen into the cesspool. There were Cyclone fans saying pretty much the exact same thing during the Carr/Facunda that you guys were saying during SVN/PJ. We see the world how we want to see it.
Based upon your awesome research you posted about PSU fans complaining about the lack of excitement level in the ISU match in comparison to your Hawkeyes match, we have a couple of choices:
1. God bless you for taking the time to perform this vital research
2. Laugh in your face for spending the time to dig out those posts from 6 weeks ago on an uterly trivial subject
Really, who the hell cares if PSU posters found one match was more exciting than another, especially when the point of comparison was the recent PSU/Iowa match which had many matches that were about as exciting as watching paint dry.
This is a quote from a meme I received this morning and you should take it to heart "Life is short. Make sure you spend as much time as possible on the internet arguing with strangers about politics." For you, substitute wrestling for politics.
Before you fire back at me for being guilty of the same thing, I consider this post to be an attempt at an Intervention for you.
Have a nice day, I will go back to laughing at you now.
I haven’t been on this board for as long as most but even I remember a time when madden wasn’t a troll.
I stand corrected, he was a 2 time NCAA qualifier not AA.
Who cares if someone thinks differently? I enjoy the matches and some are more exciting than others .
Iowa wrestling fans are similar to ND and Michigan football fans imo. They get amazed that you are not amazed at their amazing ness. Forgetting their history isn’t something most fans care about beyond a casual basis.
I have a surface level love for wrestling history ( very surface level) but I’m a big fan of PSU.
I wouldn’t even be watching wrestling if PSU was run of the mill. They have a hard time grasping this.
Who knew lovers of tough wrestling would become so thin-skinned?
When Junior avoiding bonus points is boast-worthy, and passive-aggressive posts dominate their contribution to our board, you know there is no joy in Mudville ... er, HR.

Look. I realize now it was one match where most of those comments generated. I didn’t realize it would cause quite this much uproar but I’m definitely not trying to troll anyone. My apologies for coming off that way.
You are correct, he is about 60-1 on takedowns this year, depending on how many happened in that match. Going in he was 59-0
All good. It just seems like since about 7 days before the Iowa vs PSU dual to present, there’s been nothing but calling out what folks posted. Never in a very bad way, mind you, but almost nothing else and at a very, very high volume. Maybe create a few handles and pretend to be different people. (Kidding)
You can't possibly be an adult. This something a jealous child would do.
