And also unfortunately, I agree with you. Btw, what's your lotto number picks this week?
Wow, Bartlett in the Byers post-match interview sounds so focused going forward. What a great interview.
He can beat the mouth from okie dokie with that bow and arrow. Nothing would make me smile more than Dean putting ferair in a bow and arrow
Lol
Or any one of about 20 Sam Stoll matches
Why don't you play it on a loop tonight. We'll cross our fingers and hope for the best
Im not sure what happened in Carter's match, but I like pissed off Carter!!!
Big night for both negron and edsell they both show a lot of guys and Moxy out there for to love the fight in them. We need a 125 pounder and we got ourselves a great team. I like our chances with the best coach alive
To be fair, Stoll looked like Bo Nickal compared to Tony Nelson.
Just a guess, I'm thinking that Coleman caught a piece of Carter's face with his finger nails.
I think he was just pissed about his match last night. Sounded like he was extremely mad after his match and people were commenting about how he was going to dominate today
As great as it was listening to Byers yesterday being able to watch the guys shine really was satisfying. This team is very exciting and I'm sure we haven't seen the best of them yet. Hell of a night
He didnt start the match with the brutality he finished it with. He stared the guy down after handshake, trust me he did (or said) something to Carter sometime in 3rd.
If that happened in the 1st pd instead of 3rd it woulda been ugly.
Beat me to it. Was going to reply the exact same thing.
@Junglekitty more important than lottery numbers... does Hildbrandt wrestle for PSU in March?
Watched Carter a good deal in high school. When he gets pissed, it is a completely different Carter. Sometimes it borders on giving up a point for unnecessary roughness. He gets super physical, picks up his pace, and is relentless everywhere. The problem with coming out like that is gas tank. Usually when guys go out all pisssed off, at some point you get the adrenaline dump, and your wind is gone. However, if Cael or Casey could punch Carter about half way through every match, he would be my number one pick to win nationals.
You are correct. However, there's two things that go against Facundo wrestling this year. 1. Edsell is not wrestling terrible. He's been in every match he's wrestled, and if you can keep matches close, you have a shot. I know that goes against the PSU way of scoring points, but it is what it is. 2. 165 is incredibly deep this year. I myself would not want to burn Facundo's redshirt for the chance he'll score more points. I don't believe he's wrestled at all this year so that may be the coaches thoughts as well. Rumors are he'll be at the scuffle. If he goes out there and wins it, then they'll have a serious conversation. But Casey said as of now, the plan is to redshirt him
Remember, Cael isn't just thinking of what's best for individuals and the team this year. He needs to be, and is, thinking years down the road.
I think Cael mentioned at one time that the only way they'll wrestle someone as a true freshman is out of necessity, or they have a chance to win nationals. I don't think either of those are the case for Facundo.
Heck of a dual by the men of Penn State.
125… a clearly outmatched and unranked Campbell only gives up a major to the #3 wrestler
133… good win over #14
141… dominant win over a highly touted freshman ranked #15
149… BB beats #5!!!
157… a guy we had never heard of until a few weeks ago hangs with the #3 wrestler, dropping an 8-3 decision
165… hangs tough with #6 that might be better than his ranking, also dropping only a decision
174… TF
184 Fall
197 Major with three stalls over #8
HWT… dominant major while bleeding out
That was as well as I’ve seen a PSU team wrestle this early in the season.

Yep …they walked straight into the tunnel and never made any effort to shake hands … Iowa being Iowa … follow the example of their ‘leaders’
Soak it in and enjoy. Long wait until we see a few select guys at the Scuffle (Jan. 1 and 2)
Next duals: Jan. 7 (MD) and Jan. 9 (Indiana).
Time to get healthy. Get in shape. And prepare for the heart of the B!G schedule, especially Michigan (Jan. 21), Iowa (Jan. 28), Ohio State (Feb. 4), and Nebraska (Feb. 6)

My thoughts back at hotel in Niceville. Yes Iowa walked off without shaking NC States hands. NCS wrestlers were pissed about it too. Then announcer said let's hear it for 2nd place NC State and whole team walked across gym floor and fans cheered. Then he said let's here it for champions Iowa. Marinelli was in corner grabbed the trophy and walked off out of sight. The Iowa fans so wanted to clap for them but none came out.
Eirman(spelling) was pinned then moved a little and was pinned again. Ref was right there. It happened right in from of me. Iowa fans didn't disagree.
Really impressed how they did tonight compared to yesterday. They were ready.
Lastly I made my way over to my high school football teammate Jeff Byers. Got to chat couple min.

Tonight's win shows, in part, why Bartlett has wrestled the way he has at 149. He may be able to open up a bit more, but in doing so he risks getting himself out of position and needing to chase matches more often. Unless he's facing Yianni or the elite of the elite at 149, his fundamentals and positioning and mat IQ are going to keep him in matches and the more one-exchange matches he's in this year, the more chances he'll have to win them. Have to imagine this will all serve him well down the line when he's in even bigger matches at 141.
I'm not saying Dom Bradley and his grown ass man strength were a statue in college, but he was completely covered in bird poop.
The plan is often to redshirt true freshman at this time of year, but as we’ve seen before, plans do and have changed. We’ll see what happens. We certainly looked like the better team than Iowa tonight. Facundo can always redshirt next season when Iowa loses a ton of guys and tOSU’s young recruits will still need some seasoning.
Just realized Andonian ducked YD.
Need to punish these guys in seeding.

Tony is not intimidated by anyone. Love his aggressiveness and he wrestles to win. Still just learning in some ways, but love his attitude and desire to win. some of these tough matches are going to go his way.
Regarding 165:
Edsell is likely capped at 2-2 with no bonus at nationals --> 2.0 pts max.
Geno Morelli was better than that -- returning NQ, 10-1 with 4 pins -- when Mark Hall's shirt got pulled.
I doubt Facundo is as good now as Hall was then. But I don't think he needs to win the Scuffle either. That's an insane field -- Griffith, O'Toole, Wittlake, Ramirez, and about various dozen other ranked wrestlers. 3rd with some bonus might be enough.
But it's gotta be something like that. Agreed that you don't pull his shirt for 1 or 2 pts. He's gotta be a legit podium threat with some bonus potential.
BTW, Facundo is 6-1 this year with 3 majors and 2 pins (all at the Clarion Open.)
The loss was to Maryland's starter in TB-1 because he didn't know the new rideout rule and had no coaches in his corner.
He looked like a PSU wrestler in the wins -- he turned up the pace once he saw bonus points in reach, and he kept scoring after reaching a major. A lot to like there, just need to see it vs better opponents.

I vote this stupidest post of the year.
Neither ever even attempted a shot. The decision by FOCA to chose top in overtime was one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. Lewis escaped in the second period in like 5 seconds. It took him less than that in OT. It was inexplicably. It was Foca’s choice. Just defer and Lewis choses down you get top anyway and then still have choice in third. I really don’t know what the thinking was.
If it sends message that sitting out of a scheduled dual will be treated as a loss, I’m cool with giving him losses here too.
The alternative is we sit here and just learn to live with what Schultz did tonight.
But if Facundo reaches say the R16 this season and scores say 2 points at NCAAs then he loses a year of eligibility that he could use his senior or redshirt senior season where he possibly is a National Champion scoring 24+ points. And as of right now 2 extra points won't put us over the top against Iowa at NCAAs. Now if Facundo wins the Scuffle against a strong or decent field that changes things.
My apologies, completely forgot about him at the Clarion Open.
Touché on the Morelli and Hall situation. However, as I previously stated, I think the only way a true freshman goes is out of necessity or a title threat. Hall proved he was indeed a threat. I don’t think Facundo is a threat at this point.
Yeah, I was all ready to diss those on this board who accuse other teams of ducking if we held Kerk out. Then Kerk comes out and Schultz does not and Kerk finishes and wins the match in spite of a nasty nose bleed.
This is not the Penn State way. He was an absolute stud recruit with a fantastic pedigree. I can guarantee you, Cael & Co. does not want him squeaking out matches. They would much rather see him lose tonight and take 2-3 more shots against a great opponent. Not taking a thing away from him, but this is not the attitude and never will be while these guys are running the show for what you are projecting. If you listen to Nolf about the kids in the room right now, he talks about a change in mentality needed. That mentality is coming with confidence boosting wins like tonight, but the attitude of past groups was I know I can compete with Yianni, I’m grateful for the opportunity to show what I can do against him and I will go back in the room and work on things. Beau did a great interview, but that’s not what he projected tonight. Again this kid will be wonderful and great things to come, but it’s amazing the difference of Zain/Nolf mentality as young wrestlers to Beau.
