PSU vs. Penn Discussion Thread

This is good workout for Lee. I suspect if Roman is sick Lee may not be 100% either. It's all good. Uncharacteristically winded at the end. That's not a Nick thing.

This is a tough pill to swallow. After suffering through this football season I was hoping for a little more.

TD Zapf, 0-3.

Artalona could use an Orange peel to suck on, a hair cut and some oxygen. in no particular order.
 
Bartlett going to be in a lot of battles like that. Winning two OT matches against two solid guys is a good start because it shows he can win those tight matches. A lot of young wrestlers struggle with that.

I think he's going to take some years off some of your lives though, especially at the tournament. He could very well 2-1/3-2 his way to a top 5 finish or go 1-2 because the breaks don't go his way. Tons of parity at 149.

Penn fans are nearly as as obnoxious as Hawkeye fans. Being Jr Penn a state fans I’d expect that
 
Barraclough....how about some hand control and up and out of there. Really poor showing!
