197 has to be last. There's no team drama other than possibly the record.
Plus ESPN is always about individual star power.
And depending on how things shake out, 4x Aaron might clinch the record.

Have to hold him for at *minimum* 60 seconds. An escape would still tie the match in practice.
Yes, 33 points available in tomorrow's matches ( plus bonus):
It will be close. Could come down to a medical forfeit in a placing match - not super rare - which will have the desired effect over at GIA.
The irony will be buried over there amid the resulting gnashing.
- Finals win = 4 placement points, 0 advancement points
- Consys semi win = 3 placement points, .5 advancement points
- 3rd or 5th win = 1 placement point

Carr my favorite non-PSU wrestler, but Mitchell quickly becoming one of my all time favorites in the Cael era.
Another record to shoot for - and maybe more attainable. 1986 Iowa won by 74.5 points. We are up by 83.5 right now
I can just imagine it. Brooks needs a MD to clinch the record and Hidlay dances around the edge for 7 minutes and is content to take a 4-1 loss.
Maybe. Do you have inside info?
Are you assuming Beau returns (not a given), and Kasak can't get back to his regular weight?
There is a very good chance that match is for the Hodge as well.
What a thoughtful, well spoken, and truly incredible young man! We are lucky he’s at PSU and that we get to root for him these next handful of years
Team records or not this is a special team. It's pretty amazing how even though we all knew the team title was going our way before it started but it still is so exciting and sucks you in. The highs and lows of wrestling are unlike any other sport.
FWIW, Byers said at least 2 or 3 times on the broadcast yesterday and today that Beau is definitely coming back.
Instead, we've had to settle for seeing them in black and blue. 😜
Schultz's face while getting stifled at every turn by Kerk reminded me of Brock Hardy's face when he sat there stuck in that spladle for 10 minutes. They both had that "well damn, I don't even get to try my moves" look. 😂

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Caliendo doesn't think his matches against Mesenbrink are as fun as Mesenbrink does.
Allirez is the kind of guy who might make Beau think it might not be worth coming back.
197 is last, that's from the NCAA.
I'm still baffled how you can simply walk out-of-bounds after being called for stalling but no call. Utterly puzzling.
Yes, I have inside info from Jeff Byers, who has stated that Bartlett intends to return next season.
I assume (don't know) that the plan next season is for 149 to be manned by SVN (the starter, before he got hurt).
I know that Kasak has a redshirt available, whereas SVN does not.
I assume (don't know) that Kasak could get back down to 141, if needed. However, other opinions about Kasak.
- Not convinced that 141 is Kasak's "regular" weight. I think he was at 141 because SVN could be at 149 for three more seasons, and there is a greater team need at 141.
- I think Kasak most natural and best weight is 149.
Maybe, though I doubt top tier athletes (including wrestlers) think that way.
We also have more points than the next two teams added together!
I wasn’t even close to BBs level, and I would have welcomed the challenge. I’m pretty sure Beau has a similar attitude.
After listening to the Allirez interview on clash of combat, I think there’s a much better chance Bartlett returns to folkstyle than Allirez returns to folkstyle. He didn’t completely rule out coming back for his last year of eligibility but he said he accomplished all of his folkstyle goals and he’s focused on his freestyle goals before he goes to MMA.
