20 lbs of muscle, can't hurt.
To the PSU Music Technology minor student assigned to help BTN w/ audio engineering tonight, something to consider: https://advising.psu.edu/late-drop-checklist
You been spending too much time in the football forum?
Cael says PSU will take some freshmen to the Binghamton Open tomorrow but nobody who wrestled tonight. Said freshmen may well wrestle next week at Army as well.
Latona Beats Mendez 3-2. Hype train in for repairs 
Lol. Tough night for the Suckeyes.Latona Beats Mendez 3-2. Hype train in for repairs
Latona was upset last week alsoLatona Beats Mendez 3-2. Hype train in for repairs
JB said most of the guys that didn't wrestle and are healthy will go to Binghamton. Not tomorrow - Sunday
Word is Bouzakis will red shirt, but after seeing him give up 2:15 riding time,
(up a weight, to be fair) I think he is already in peak Buckeye form.

Nic Bouzakis wrestled at 141lbs. for the Bucknuts. #16 Tom Crooks steals a Major 14-6 win. Hype Train on Life Support.
I was going to write the same thing… glad someone else sees it.
I think the card disintegrates, after about 5 seconds, like Mission Impossible, when you drink something like that.
There's a line from the movie Departed that comes to mind lol
RBY, Facundo and AB had double digit takedowns. If Dean and Kerk didn't have first period falls we probalby would have had over 60.

I said exactly that on the inside under going into the scoreboard.
bnicolls would be predicting 150 points if that was the case
OK....That was a fun way to start the season. A leaping go-behind....a Winn-Dixie for back points and a few Bow and Arrow versions. It was a great night. If I might offer some somewhat inebriated ( Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA 9% ) instant Nostradumbass predictions: After Regular Season:
125: Bless his heart but I would not bet the house there is a National Qualifier unless he Autos at BIGs
133: Don't see him being anything but #1 by BIGs.....unless Vito shocks us in New Orleans
141: Beau is #16 now. He will be higher than that by BIGs ..possibly high single digits.
149: #27 now....Pretty confident Shane will be single digits and a frequent bonus producer by BIGs
157: The Claw is unrated but I see high teens are quite possible.....mid-teens or better if he learns to covert.
165: Facundo is #23. I see low teens or high single digits by BIGs. Tough weight but nice start.
174: C-Star should be #1
184: Silky Smooth should also be #1
197: Depending on the Iowa result......1st, 2nd or 3rd before BIGs
285: Depending on the Iowa ( and All-Star ) results......1st, 2nd or 3rd before BIGs
Is this the year PSU overperforms at BIGs? Don't bet the farm
NCAAs: I may be a Dumbass but even I see good things coming their way Enjoy the ride!

Enjoy the ride!First, it was great seeing Penn State take the mat again.
I typed an entire breakdown out only for there to be an error posting, and I'm not doing it again. I will catch everyone after the Black Knight. I'll do a quick version:
125: Aaron Rogers "Relax". Lots of wrestlers have lost their first match in Rec Hall and gone on to have great careers.
133: Reigning, defending, undisputed, 133 champ.
141: Could be in for a big surprise. Looked great on top, and looked to be opening up more as the match went on.
149: Wow, could be watching the beginning of one of the greats.
157: Said it a bunch last season, needed confidence. He definitely wanted that one and was pumped he got it. Could be all he needed to take a big step forward.
165: I'll be honest, didn't know he had that arsenal. I only knew of his defense. George Washington said it first "the best defense is a good offense"
174: Reigning, defending, undisputed, 174 champ
184: Reigning, defending, undisputed, 184 champ
197: Reigning, defending, undisputed, 197 champ
285: Looked bigger. Excited to see him vs Cass. Closed the gap every time last year. Hopefully this time he has passed him and won't look back.
We Are!

I think we see peak Kerk at that weight - seems perfect for him.
As soon as the staff can get him to think offensively instead of defensive wrestling he is going to be really good.
There will be a spell in January where this board will fall apart because kids will look sluggish and gassed.
Not how we would have handled it.Latona Beats Mendez 3-2. Hype train in for repairs
To be fair, BearClaw would likely have been ranked around 20 if the ranking orgs knew who was wrestling at 157.OK....That was a fun way to start the season.

my opinion. Anyway
Geez man, coulda put a spoiler alert on that one.
Ranger Dan already knows.Geez man, coulda put a spoiler alert on that one.
Every season they have a bit of a swoon at some point after Christmas. Cael's just doing what's best so they're primed for the NCAAs. Nothing surprising and nothing to worry about. There have been some pretty great teams that cruised at the big dance that didn't even win Big Tens.
That knowledge will not keep the board from having it's collective meltdown. It is as certain as the NCAA Thursday meltdown that occurs as soon as somebody misses a major or TF by a single point.
I gotta say if they don't have at least 8 majors in the first round I'm gonna lose my #&#^
I won't steal all of Black Shoes Diaries' thunder, but here's one I took tonight.
He should get some experience next week at Army, as I 'm sure Carter, Aaron, and Greg will be on their way to Texas instead of being in West Point.
