Robbie, Beau, SVN and Alex all AA. Two of them are finalists
Right now on paper, the dual looks extremely close.
What is this “paper” you speak of? Wasn’t that something they made in ancient times before the machines took over?
You can argue Iowa is the straight favorites at 5 weights right now (125, 141, 149, 165, 285) Now I wouldn't be shocked if we win 4 of those weights (hence what I mean by floodgates are open) Their guys are more proven there as of today though.
Are you on wrestlestat?
No I'm being objective here:
Here’s how I see it:
Just joking. I appreciate the dose of reality/objectivity.
To be honest, I should be more like you. History at this point says being a homer and overly optimistic is the way to go for being a Penn State Wrestling fan. You'd think after a decade plus of pure excellence that the coaches and wrestlers have shown, I'd learn already.
Haines can keep his RS AND go against Iowa at 157.
You saw my analysis. I actually gave it some thought and did some math. (I was accused of doing neither in the football thread. I’m a math guy; I always do the math first.)
I considered that. I don’t think they put a freshman on redshirt out against Iowa in a “dual meet wrestling match”. I think they give him tourneys instead. But it’s a thought.
This is making me anxious for the season. I’m imagining BJC against Iowa and the Mat Town Open/Bearcat Open Champion Levi Haines takes the mat at 157 after both he and Barraclough shook hands at introductions.
I actually hope you're wrong here. I'd like to see Levi get that year of experience before he goes on the clock.
Haines could wrestle all these tourneys unattached as well, just wouldnt have coaches.
That means 2 of Howard, Bartlett, SVN, Barraclough/Haines or Facundo make the semis.
Can current, non-RS athletes coach kids on RS? Or does it have to be other RS athletes?
HR mercilessly derides our team all season and we don’t respond, care, or even notice.
As painful as it may seem, it's probably best if Kenny Pickett sits behind Trubisky the whole year.
Not to downplay your hot takes but:
I'm thinking this happens what a great way to introduce Levi to the masses than at Bryce or rec hall. Shit will get real. Real quick
It’s a f***ing HOT TAKES THREAD.
I was at a social event about a week ago (black tie optional) and I was wearing a Dunder Mifflin shirt. A gentleman came up to me after reading my shirt and proceeded to ask me if I could supply his wife's printing company with some paper because they had a shortage. I almost lost it. It took everything I had to keep from falling over from laughter. I politely explained the situation to his chagrin.
