  1. Northwestern (3): Michael DeAugustino, Chris Cannon, Lucas Davison
  2. Those fellas were on the team, darn good wrestlers, and Cornell was really good at the time. But, my point had more to do with graduating with a Cornell degree which gives you far better options to make a salary that far exceeds what you would get in a NIL deal as a post grad somewhere else
  3. None of the fellas I met had a finance degree.
  4. Why wouldn't they do what pretty much every former Cornell wrestler I've met and go into finance for a major bank in NYC and make 3 to 4x that amount?
  5. He won't struggle with Caliendo's strength. And @Jimmy Cinnabon. Messenbrink is not undersized. Stop with that nonsense
  6. Don't know where Jax projects to go for college but with Knox, Lilledahl, and DeLuca the future looks bright at 125 pounds
  7. Never mind. It's Franklin Gomez Dominican Republic. Lol, forgot the one guy who's a part of NLWC
  8. Forgot Borislav Novachkov from Bulgaria. Can't figure out who I'm missing
  9. Was Mike Amine born in Lebanon prior to his dad moving the family?
  10. Japan, Cuba, Uzbekistan, Canada, Russia, Mongolia, Iran, Germany, Hungary, South Africa,
  11. This dual is a great example of why we should never trust the clock displayed on our TV screen
  12. At this point in time only a Jimmy Cinnabon would continue with that moniker
  13. Someone let @nhs67 that Starrocci stalled in the first avoiding the tech fall so he could get the pin in the 2nd.
  14. He's one of the scariest nerds on the planet
  15. Decent home dual for PSU so far. Home crowd definitely helped Levi wrestle with a little more urgency but hoping Levi is able to do that on the road
  16. Have to respectfully disagree. As has been admitted by himself and his teammates who were on the roster prior to Cael's arrival Bubba had no intentions of jumping on board with Cael's vision. Bubba and Cael both made the right decision. Molinaro: I’m sure Bubba will argue against this, but the thing about Cael is he’s the same with everybody. That’s what I liked about him most and that’s what made him change the culture so fast. He was consistent. He wasn’t picking and choosing which guys to discipline. Vallimont: Cael came in and cracked down on some rules and a curfew. He had coaches come to make sure you were in class. If you weren’t there, you had to come into the wrestling room late at night on Fridays and do extra study hall hours. The main thing I can remember is that under the former coaching staff, Bubba had a little more freedom. He would sometimes show up late to a lift. Cael came in very strict and was not really messing around with people tip-toeing the line, and I think that may’ve been a point of conflict between them. There was a bit of tension that was visible every now and then, but I don’t think anyone knew how serious was until he left the team. Jenkins: [After the 2009 season,] some injuries were starting to catch up to me and I needed a break. I knew I needed to hit reset physically and mentally to get back to the podium. I made some personal moves to make sure that if I needed to redshirt, I would in fact redshirt for the first half of the season. I purposefully didn’t show up to classes, so I would be academically ineligible. I had extra credits, so I calculated my ineligibility and eligibility to still perform in January for the Big Ten season, so I could at least have that half a year to get healthy and get back to being that wrestler I came to Penn State as. I forced my redshirt year and possibly my departure from Penn State when Cael realized I was ineligible for the first half of the season and that we had different demeanors.
  17. Being that Jimmy was in Middle School when he started we are now dealing with a High Schooler. His brain is developing and it will be interesting to see his posting style when he hits 20.
  18. We've already done the annual Dual Championship thread. We've also done the annual greatest to never win it. Haven't seen the annual if they would've wrestled thread how would this athlete in a other sport have done or the annual NFL guys who wrestled. You could do one of those broken record threads.
  19. We should stop being so harsh to Jimmy. It's not like we knew this. I'm quite shocked. If only wrestling media outlets would've kept us up to date with how good PSU is. Even FRL, they haven't even touched on PSU wrestlers rankings all year. It's not like they did a segment on, "what's more likely PSU with 6 champs or 10AA's.". Thank you Jimmy for keeping us up to date
  20. @BobDole blueandgold is another Cinnabon handle correct? The penmanship and thread format is identical.
  21. When you have opponents that excel at reattack your offensive output will be less and more calculated Hand fighting and collar ties slow the match down on purpose to try and set up cleaner attacks and avoid scrambles and reattacks. Something the PSU wrestlers excel at. Lower offensive output from UMich wrestlers had more to do with how good their opponents are and less to do with UMich wrestlers not showing up
  22. PSU lives on re-attacks. Way too much hate on the board for the UMich wrestlers. KOT is tailor-made to beat Messenbrink.
  23. Greatest tag team in the history of college wrestling
