Today is the day!

No......this makes no sense. I said I was doing this:............. I can sit on my ass, overeat, drink too much, and watch PSU win another National championship, and not feel guilty!!! Pretty clear and accurate to me :)
Gotcha. Read it wrong. Lol
 
Einstein was wrong. Time can move backwards.

I've been trying to honor the current guys lately so Max seems like the obvious choice for Day 1 of the tournament and my last to feature a current Nittany Lion. He's rocking the nine seed and looks to face a guy who handled him fairly easily in the B1G Tournament. Gee, I wonder if PSU has ever had a guy avenge a loss like that at Nationals??? <cough Starocci and Lee cough> He's been nails at nationals so let's hope he gets that mojo working. I have to believe the game plan with Allred will be to get off early shots, earn a first period takedown and give him the same treatment Warner got at Carver Hawkeye last season. If he feels good on top he should go up when it's his choice too. Taking the match to the mat should put him in total control.

Yes, the second best, and I think we agree on the #1 moment, too, but I’ll wait for tomorrow to find out. I still tear up seeing Vinnie run up into the crowd to hug his parents.

It’s obviously Conel pinning Moore.

[I know, he said “finals”…]

When you think about it it's not just that PSU wins titles, it's how they win titles. So many improbable wins just in the last five years. From Cenzo taking out IMar twice to a non-recruit like Cassar taking out Kollin Moore while he was a backup to beating Steveson twice the next year. For most teams they'd have had Bo go out and wrestle not to lose but PSU guys just let it fly so when they do win they just blow you away.

They're like if there was a football team that always completed Hail Marys or a baseball team that wins all of their home games in a walkoff. Even this year when they're running away with the title they've had some of the craziest wins ever. In the span of 30 minutes today they had one guy win in tiebreakers with one second left, another guy win with back points in the third after he had been losing the whole match and another guy give up a six-point move right in the beginning only to break him in the 2nd period and stick him in the 3rd.

The amazing thing is that he was the second PSU wrestler to do that in this tournament, both freshmen.
