It means they were positioned to win a title then PSU got Long. Now they were in position again and Dean went to PSU.
Who else will leave Cornell with Koll gone?

Plausible. But can we say that Max Dean is not a murderer? R.I.P. Myles Martin’s dream of a second title.
Yes. Dean was more like Dr. Kevorkian -- assisted suicide when Martin took an unnecessary shot with the lead.Plausible. But can we say that Max Dean is not a murderer? R.I.P. Myles Martin’s dream of a second title.
Bo Nickal would be the murderer.
Why is that "on steroids" though? From a wrestling standpoint, seems like it's basically the same thing (both were prior runner-ups). Hopefully Dean is much better from a character standpoint though.
From a Cornell standpoint, losing Dean is a two-fer. They didn't lose Long.
True no doubt, but for most national champion guys, there is a transition to senior level freestyle competition which takes time. Sure Spencer, Yanni, Steveson, Snyder who were already established at a very high level.
It really shows how Nick has been rapidly improving on all facets of wrestling...he is chopping plenty of wood and carrying more than his fair share of water.
The fact is in 2011, Cornell had a bad Friday night that cost them the title. 1-3 in the semi finals will do that, especially when it worse they should have gone 3-1.
Don't mean to nick-pick, but Nick's top wrestling is little frustrating for me. For example, had he held Eireman another 30 seconds in the second period he wouldn't have to go into OT. It seemed like Nick just let him go with barely a fight.
Signs were planted that night that owning the semis was going to be Cael's MO. It's just a different animal (no matter who's favored) wrestling those especially with a team race at stake.
I can live with that. What annoyed me many times was the 4-5 minute rides and only getting a MD.
Knowing he has the neutral game to just break guys.
But hes got the NC and I got a keyboard.

This is where not having guys who cut a lot of weight pays off. After two full days of wrestling, Penn State guys are still going strong while the competitors are somewhat weakened from having to maintain a lower weight over a period of time.
It’s Eierman. He’s like Bo in that he can do damage from bottom if you give him any space.
I don't even understand the complaint here. Your irritation is with Nick Lee, a 3X AA with a 77.2% career bonus rate, going to overtime and scoring a title-clinching takedown in overtime instead of collecting a nearly impossible riding time point in regulation?
When winning a national title isn't enough.
I would agree if it's in the first period. But Eierman was already starting to running out of gas by that time (correction to previous post: 3rd period, not 2nd period). Bo doesn't have that problem.

SRATH said Nick has rapidly improved "all facets" of his wrestling. To which I pointed out to be not so true. I wasn't complaining about Nick's NT.
It’s okay to disagree here. But if you know you’re tiring a guy, you are better than him on your feet, and you know he’s a home run threat from bottom, why not play to your relative strengths...
I hate it when I don’t mean to nitpick Nick, but forces outside of my control force me to nick-pick. #iamavictim
Context. It's all about context. So would you agree with SRATH's post about Nick has improved "all facets" of his wrestling?I hate it when I don’t mean to nitpick Nick, but forces outside of my control force me to nick-pick. #iamavictim
I fully agree. There are a few wrestlers that you just don't want to hold onto too long. Eierman is certainly high on that list.
Why does his lack of interest in riding Eierman mean he hasn't improved his top game?
Was he able to do it in the past?
Good call. Dude will riddle you from bottom!
Not meaning to nick-pick, I am forced to grant you that Nick has not improved in graduating from chores. He was chopping and carrying before, and he’s still chopping and carrying!

Yikes! Are you trying to invite eye-ball destroying GIFs? You know what kind of out-of-control posters we have on here!Not meaning to nick-pick, but did you get your jokes from Kathy Griffin?
Yeah, you're right. My bad. Fire away!Yikes! Are you trying to invite eye-ball destroying GIFs? You know what kind of ou-of-control posters we have on here!
Speaking of Nick Lee, any hear about him moving up to 149 yet? @Hoosier Lion any word?
Maybe we're talking about different Nick Lees.
I'm talking about the guy that had people on here complaining earlier this year about him riding guys too much and "settling" for MDs, instead of playing more catch-and-release and going for TFs.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Nick Lee sucks
