Why "Social Media" is great....

Steveson hasn’t even entered the portal yet. This would be a wonderful troll job to see him getting them all on Team Gable just to have him end up back at Minny.

I’m half expecting a double whammy - they announce the gambling suspensions which include Cass, THEN Gable immediately announces he’s going back to Minn.

I kind of think you might be right. No matter what happens, the young man is pretty damn good at stirring people up. Bodes well for his WWE future.

With the new NCAA guidelines on gambling it is unlikely any of the wrestlers will be suspended for the entire year. It seems the only way you would miss an entire year is if you bet on your own school or sport.

What gives you any indication that they didn't bet on their own school or wrestling? I have heard a lot of rumors that are accompanied by immediate disclosure that they are only rumors and nothing more, just like everyone else. I have heard no specifics on who, what or when.

Problem is that Iowa had a perfect storm. Their WBB team and Caitlyn Clark took the country by storm and imagine the impact on a state with no pro teams. Then it seems like most thought they were a team of destiny - wouldn’t surprise if most of the student body who would place a bet hit their games hard
 
Off topic but comical...

Has a point--I love PSU, but we are the least imaginative when it comes to naming things around here. Town? Uh, State College. Main drag? That'd be College Ave. High School Team? The Little Lions! It goes on and on, and cracks me up . . .
 
I don't see Missouri putting up 2nd place points.

They have one sure-fire finalist and a bunch of guys who will likely be overseeded, and despite being paired with weaker, lower seeded opponents, get knocked off early.

My Mizzou predictions:

125: R12
133: R16
141: R16
149: 6th
157: 0-2
165: 1st
174: 7th
184: R12
197: 3rd
HWT: 5th

Maybe that equates to a second place finish. Seems unlikely.

Well, when AJF and GS transfer in they gain 15-20 points 🤪. Sorry, GIA.
 
Returning points:
1 PSU 143.0
2 Iowa 66.5
3 Cornell 62.0
4 Missouri 61.0
5 NC State 48.5
T6 VT 47.0
T6 Nebraska 47.0
8 Michigan 45.0

Missouri finishing 2nd is possible. Likewise Nebraska 5th. Michigan 4th ... a lot would need to go their way.

Actually insane we return more than we scored!

If we just go off rankings right now (based on last years NCAA placement)

Nagao - 3rd 13.5
Bartlett - 2nd (Alirez confirmed to be RS) 16
Van Ness - 3rd (I'll add Lovett ahead of him) 13.5
Haines - 1st 20
Starocci - 1st 20
Truax - 2nd (he's 2-1 against Munoz and 1-1 against Keckeisen, Munoz obviously is recovering from injury) 16
Brooks - 1st 20
Kerkvliet - 1st (without Gable obviously) 20

That's 139 assuming 0 from Mesenbrink and before bonus.

Should be a fun season lol

Sounds like tOSU is bumping D'Emilio and Sasso up to 149 and 157, respectively. Van Ness has to be ranked 2nd, then. Just after 10:00 or so in the video here:

Works for me! Mendez will definitely be a contender at 141 though.

I have an unforced collection of PSU wrestling caps ….. you know the ones …. the ones that display the number of championships won with the hands raised wrestler on the side. I think I have 7 or 8 of these hats and I wear them when working on the farm. Most are in awful shape with white salt rings, grease, rips, and tears. I was wearing the latest yesterday (11th) when my co-worker asked me just why I keep buying the same cap over and over. I told him that it’s simple: because we keep winning national championships almost every year. My co-worker is a VT fan and he told me that they have never won a single Natty in any sport. Reminded me of how very lucky we are to enjoy what Cael bangs out.
