PSWC Banquet on Sunday, April 7, 2024.

[creamery freak]

Thought I'd post this to find out who's attending and for comments before and after the banquet.

I'll be there, God willing, and I am looking forward to seeing Carter and Aaron honored for being 4× Champs. Aaron will also receive his Hodge trophy, which will be pretty cool. I'll be interested to see who comes out with the seniors to give their speeches.

The PSWC banquet is always a great wrap up to our wrestling season, and I'd encourage anyone who hasn't attended to put it on their bucket list. Great place to take your family too. The wrestlers are very approachable at the end of the banquet for pictures and conversation. Just a great overall event.

Just want to finish by thanking the volunteers with the PSWC that make this possible!

I'm attending but with this open seating, I know I'll probably end up sitting between Ironbird and Spyker.

What arena are they using? Not sure how close we’d be, but let’s hold that thought.

I went last year and really enjoyed it. Planned to go this year but work got in the way….

Since you mentioned "bucket list", my mother-in-law is 90 y/o and lives in a nursing home due to being physically unstable, but is sharp as a tack mentally. Over the past few years, she has developed a love for PSU wrestling and will actually tell people to NOT VISIT her room if there is a PSU match being televised. Carter is her favorite (no offense to the rest of the team) and we will be bringing her along on Sunday. We had planned this last year, but she fell and needed a shoulder replacement just before the luncheon... even at 90, she still has a bucket list!!

I didn't realize that Welsch Ryan only held 7k.

Seems smaller

The Big 10s were held there in 2011.

I can't find any info on what venue it's being held next year.

If I hit 90 (and my wife is taking the under on that) Cael will be on his way to his 36th Championship.

As far as I know they only have the one arena.

I didnt know if they would hold it at the Blackhawks arena? 🤷‍♂️

That would be nice but they did not in 2011 and I believe they still hold the MIdlands at NW. Since BIGs have been selling out most years you would think they would look for a bigger arena to make more money but maybe not.

 

[86PSUPaul]

Rutgers held it in a 8,000 seat arena a few years ago, I believe.

With the most uncomfortable seats i ever sat in, not to mention you could not see all of the 4 mats. Rutgers should not be allowed to host again unless they build a new arena.

To each his own, but personally, I would actually look forward to that opportunity!

PS. I can’t make it. Could one of you guys save me some leftovers.

90, nursing home, shoulder replacement ... you're not fooling anyone, Jaydin Eierman is your mother in law.

Bartlett makes it official. He will be back to see us next year.

Carter told me he will not be back next year. 😪

 

[Sleepylion]

Carter told me he will not be back next year. 😪

I saw his this exchange. I had just finished my prime rib and crab legs. (at least some part of this post is factual).

 

[creamery freak]

Levi told me he's moving up to 165.

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

Cael may have tipped his hand just slightly. Talking about Carter and he mentioned congratulations and thanks for what he was “doing” and made specific comment to say not what he had “done”. Wishful thinking…

 

[McScoreley]

I can't decide what is or isn't real now.

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

I can't decide what is or isn't real now.

Bartlett did say it. Kerk was not even in attendance. Cael did joke that Jimmy Kennedy is now tasked with getting on his case for not attending and he did make that comment on Carter when speaking on each senior.

 

[PSU James]

Couldnt Carter enroll in January, skip all classes, compete in duals, Big Tens and NCAAs and then drop out of school. Zero attended classes!!! And possibly a fifth National Championship!

 

[creamery freak]

I can't decide what is or isn't real now.

Carter did go up with the seniors and give his speech, so I think he is done. Cael, NIL and how the OTT go could change his mind. I told Carter he was a warrior, for what he did at NCAA's. I also told him that I hope he takes out Jordan Burroughs in 2 weeks. He liked that!

When I congratulated Levi, he volunteered that he was moving up, I didn't even ask.

The exchange with Carter is true.

Snow crabs and Prime Rib was a running gag. Paul couldn't make it so we texted him a fake menu

 

[AgSurfer]

So who saved me some leftovers?

 

[McScoreley]

Appreciate all the updates. In Carter's mind, he is about to win the Olympics (and the possibility of it not happening is just not there, that's not how he operates) so it makes sense to believe he's done with college wrestling. He said in an interview before, it doesn't make sense if you can do that then come back to wrestling college kids.

I think all in all, we'll get clarity as Olympic Trials end.

alb409 (super insider, I think that's established but in case it's not known) posted a double thumbs up response to someone saying "I hope Kerk comes back" on 247

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

Forgot to mention but Cael also said Barraclough is coming back next year.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Bartlett makes it official. He will be back to see us next year.

The first domino in “Project 180” has fallen.

Why didn't you guys tell me you was going? I heard Cael is coming back next year when I was at the soft serve ice cream dispenser.
