Not even close. Hope you're kidding.
I was, I don’t take this stuff too serious Roar. As Mark Hall would say, It’s just wrestling. I ignored him long ago, it’s an easy solution just irritating when this stuff pops up and I see replies to his garbage
Missed the deadline, or told there was no room left?Sadly.....they missed the deadline for the Iowa City Duals...…
It's just @LemonPie getting a little off the rails, as he is apt to do occasionally. He's does have a name to live up to after all.
Every once in a while he throws out a take that I think even he thinks better if upon reflection. I hope.

Agree. I'm sure most of us would have preferred to have seen the team go to the Scuffle again this season.
But I also get our coaching staff accommodating guys on the team that have international free style aspirations and want to get to the US Open. This flexibility has to help in recruiting world class athletes like AB and Kerk. Perhaps this approach kept our guys from taking an Olympic shirt. If this schedule is the best way we can field a team that can make a serious run in March, and also help recruit world class talent, then I'm on board.
And say what you will about the quality of the talent at Wilkes. But for those of us who don't have Flo and can't get to Tennessee, a short ride to catch our guys at Wilkes is a great opportunity.

Wrestling Rules 101, thought y'all might be interested.
(Paraphrased, my words) ...
-- Teams are allowed 16 competition dates.
-- Rostered wrestlers are allowed to wrestle 16 competition dates.
-- Penn State has 15 competition dates on its schedule.
-- Do the math (16-15=??).
-- Any competition (dual or tournament) where 7 or more wrestlers are "attached", it counts as a competition date.
-- With 19 guys on the registration currently (it will change) listed as "attached", this tournament shall count as a competition date, both for the team, and for the individual wrestlers.

I am not certain....but I did find a copy of the letter:
Dear Carl:
Thank you for your recent inquiry asking to enter the Iowa City Duals......AGAIN. However...as I have stated repeatedly in answers to all your other requests.....these Red-Headed Step Children are OURS alone.....no sharing. Please stop asking!
Sincerely,
Tom
PS: "Stand Up and Say That.....Oh.....Nevermind" Isn't funny anymore....never was.....it is really pissing off Terry.....please stop.
LemonPie, IronSheik ... everyone loves a good villain.
Don’t let the the stoic demeanor fool you. Cael loves jokes. Just take the cue, and “wait for it.”
(punchlines are best served cold, March cold).
If our guys want competition,they just look around Lorenzo. “ No need to freak out”
I may make the 2 hour trip. Do you have to purchase tickets in advance, and what is the seating like @ the venue? I was at the Hitchcock Memorial last year, and was really disappointed with the lack of seating. Hoping this is not the same deal.
I'm sure you'll make an exception for Cassar since he's already beaten the #4, #5 and #10 wrestlers this season.
Last time I went to Wilkes was Frank Molinaro's true freshman year. He missed weight and had to wrestle up, got knocked out of the tournament after a DQ, lol. I may have to make it over there with all the PSU guys going.
expect the same..... last time I was there was when the Alton’s were redshirting, I think, but really not much seating. Tickets at the door, unless there is a big demand with us coming. I know a Wilkes asst coach, I’ll reach out to him and confirm tickets.

Well it seems Conel vs Shak may come down to that tourney
The link at the top of the thread will show you everyone who registered.
LemonPie and Mike Evans not impressed
Mike Evans isn't impressed that LemonPie isn't impressed.
I'd have to figure out what the hell he's trying to say first.
Two things: I can't seem to find any reference to this being broadcast (it's not listed on Flo and didn't see any thing at the Wilke's site). Does anyone know if there will be video?
And, why is this not on the PSU schedule if it's an actual competition date?

It's unplanned. Just happened this way. Gopsusports doesn't have it listed either.
Just texted with a Wilkes Asst Coach, he thinks tickets are $10 and they are only on sale at the door. He confirmed there should be lots of PSU wrestlers.
