I’d rather have MM on this team for 4 than pretty much anyone.
Indiana
- Thread starter PSU210
- Start date
Are you saying that you believe Fix would be at 165 if not for wrestling for OSU?
No it took forever bit I can watch it now. All the others were with in 5 min, had to wait 20 for penn state match
Mesenbrink before the match starts:
“when’s the ref gonna blow the stinking whistle so I can take my first shot?”

If there was a draft right now, he'd be most everyone's #1 pick.
A big ten opponent in name only. Why didn’t PSU throw their backups out there? That was bad or is it the state of college duals vs. PSU?
Do I get a share of Fix's social security checks in 3 years?
lol at those thinking Arnold has more potential
Pretty much outside of Iowa we are going to curb stomp everyone. Our guys need matches.
What’s going to happen at Iowa?
Lol. Arnold better hope Mitch doesn't hit a growth spurt.
On the contrary! I’m getting tee shirts made up!!!!!
This has to be pretty demoralizing for other teams. SVN goes down with injury, Kasak steps in (up a weight?) with no apparent drop-off and techs ranked guys. Rogotzke breathes a sigh of relief that he won’t have to face Truax today. Barr (a sort of backup?) puts down his books, says “hold my rootbeer”, and majors him.
And someone forgot to tell our freshman that they’re not supposed to be able to act this way towards their opponents:

I'm beginning to wonder how close Kasak really is to SVN, he is looking abnormally tough!
I can hear it in March now........"When you go to Penn State, you go for the gusto! That's what we do!"
A friend of mine took his autistic son to the match today, he was super stoked. Hopefully this wasnt him, sorry if it was and he ruined your experience.
Sadly.....I think he will forgo his Senior year and declare for the draft.
I'm still thinking Cael adds a tournament sometime this next two or three weeks in.
That’s optimistic. Indiana isn’t a great barometer for what will happen against Iowa. I’ll happily be wrong here, but it’s much more likely to be a 12-15 point win than a shutout.
As a general rule, being optimistic about Penn State wrestling usually makes one look like a genius.
And even if they do, it’ll mean exactly how much in mid-March?
Not sure if its posted yet but here is a link to the full meet
Yes, even Michigan. At the very most they'll only win 3 matches: 125, 149, and mayyyyybe HWT (Davison is good enough that Kerk can't make mistakes). But more likely we'll win HWT and pick off 125. (Rooting for Kasak, but Gomez is still a returning national finalist.)
Other than progress at 125 and 149, the real info is how readily Psycho's irresistible force overcomes Amine's immovable object.
My wife and I were discussing this during the Brooks match. He is just so smooth. We started to compare his attitude to that of Easy Ed, but, that’s not right. Ruth could lull a guy into a takedown. Brooks just works every second like a brain surgeon. Both guys are all-time greats and we are damned lucky to get to see them.
I think the right comparison for Aaron is Mark Hall. Pro athletes say that the biggest adjustment is the speed of the game, and success comes when you can process the action fast enough that the game slows down for you. That's how Mark wrestled -- as if the action completely stopped for him so he could adjust a foot or hand.
Cael made reference to a few of the guys going at the Christmas cakes with gusto. A few weeks later, they're getting the midsection in tow.
Largest beard in the history of D-1 wrestling. Perhaps a year or more of growth with no trimming what so ever.
A rather unexpected takedown with just a few seconds left to gain the upset ..…. after looking rather pedestrian for 6:50.
I was hoping someone caught that beauty of a line. It might not be an illegal back fist but it had me chuckling when I heard it.
