Where else was he going to wrestle if not 125? Didn't hear anything about him rolling in and destroying RBY or Lee in the room so Cael didn't have to shuffle guys to make room for him.
Teasdale loses to Rumph from Wartburg

Thanks. That is how I am reading the terrain.
Easier to put the work in and get back to what you know/are good at. IMO
More difficult to develop the skill that can be a brutal process- that would be where I see the concern.
But is “first match” more important or is “shouldn’t make the assumption” more important?
So you are saying the ref gave the D3 kid a takedown when there wasn't a takedown?
Nobody should read too much into this loss. Teasdale is still really good. Young guys often lose early matches you don't expect them to lose.
What becomes of young Gavin has yet to be written, and this loss won't define him … his future and the rest of is career will.
That said, I'm not sure why there's 170 posts. He's not at PSU, and it's much preferable to talk about our guys vs going round-and-round on a non-PSU'er. Sure, free world and free speech and all, but this horse is dead and still being beaten. And for anyone thinking they're defending Cael's honor, or handling of this situation, it's unnecessary. #highcharacter

Taking a loss as a freshman is no big deal. I think if I were Brands, the concern for me is Gavins desire to be on the mat. I started wrestling at 6, by 17 I admit I was burnt out. If Gavin was at that place, hating the sport, Is that an easy fix? I really dont think it is. I couldnt imagine piling on a full academic schedule on top of it. Especially for someone who admits to not being a very good student to begin with.
So to review, we have a student athlete that struggles in school, trying to reignite a fire to compete and away from family and friends while doing it. Taking that all in I can easily see him taking a loss to a D3 kid. Hes D1 though so he needs to be right in all aspects to compete at that level regardless of how good he was. I honestly hope he succeeds but mostly that he gets his degree. I still hold the opinion that he won't finish his college career at a D1 school. I wouldnt be surprised to see him somewhere like UPJ down the road. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that..
Me and this thread. I am who I am
I gotta visit here more often
As far as the kid Rumph goes I got to watch him at senior nationals and came away impressed with him, More so after he almost came away with a win against Mathews in that all star dual. I was surprised to see he went D3 as he looked like a D1 talent to me but there are many guys with D1 talent who choose to go with other options for various reasons. As far as Teasdale himself and some of the comments I’ve seen made here regarding what I perceived to be a shot at Cael’s integrity I will just say this, Cael and the rest of the PSU staff went to great lengths to help out Teasdale while he was at PSU. You can only do so much for someone before enough is enough. As some of you may remember I noted after the scuffle last year I got a chance to talk to him a little bit after finding out why he didn’t wrestle. I came away thinking he was a nice kid but he also would come up with a ton of excuses and tell you what you wanted to hear. I’m glad to see he took ownership of all of this in an interview.

Has anyone seen where we put that dead horse? Who had it last and didn't put it away?
Just hoping this thread dies before it approaches the status of the “Teasdale now back?” thread on HR.
They don't seem to hate wrestling him.
Does today mean he's at the level of 6th place at D2 Super Regional V? Because his opponent took 5th there last year.
Some threads I read through -- and then I wonder why I even started. I think there is a puddle of blood where the horse used to be.
My memory is a bit foggy but I think it was Dean Wormer...….from Wartburg I believe
That thread on Koch Open + Brooks thread + Kerkvliet thread = dumpster fire at Superfund Site adjacent to a hill of mine tailings
He is regressing in the Iowa room. But seriously he is still finding his way. Hopefully he stays the course.
I can't allow myself to read those threads, or else I'll kill enough brain cells to start drooling uncontrollably.
Seriously......Airk Furseth is a Redshirt Senior & DII All-American who had a 30-8 record as a Soph......27-6 as a Jr. and is a 2X Koch winner at 133. Teasdale winning a few matches and losing 7-5 in the finals......after what he has been through......I would say.....well done. If he is getting his mind and academics in order......he is winning.
True. Very true.
Just hard to fathom how a month ago he was beating the #1 kid in the country at 133 causing the #1 team in the country to find a spot for him and now is 6th place in d2 regional.
Needs accusations,doctors,lawyers,advocates,insiders,associates, some really clever name calling,pizza,wild hogs,etc to reach Teasdale Now Back? status. Don't think this board has the right posters to take a thread there. Is there a portal for forum posters? We could bring in the worst,drunkest, angriest,best liars and guys to fire off likes for them and probably still not get there.1186 more replies to go.
My call for the best pizza in Happy Valley is the Hofbrau in Bellefonte. Don't think they offer wild boar as a topping.
Yes, and eventually Minnesota or Nebraska will figure out how to close it behind Jammen.
You'll have to reinvent yourself at least a couple dozen times before approaching @johnstownsteel .
@johnstownsteel is now @wazoocitysteel. He’s running out of cities
Totally agree. Hands down, not anyone even close. Try the thin crust......excellent!!! Tim G. has it workin there. Otto’s on tap and Bellefonte Distillery booze too. Can’t go wrong night out.
@IowaCitySteel has a nice ring to it.
