JC is and always has been the MVP (most valuable poster) and has no hot seat vulnerability. We are lucky to have him and he can do as he pleases on all posts and bets.

ESPN+ must be same pool as BG10+ Agree that Ken Chertow was excellent

going to have to veto this - we need posters on here. think of some other stupid bet

Do not see this - even with bad luck of gambling sanctions they remain a top program and a magnet for top transfers. While I almost always root against them, their guys develop well and bring it. Respect.

Will Lewan doing Will Lewan things. No fast forward. Must watch wrestling!

JB is among the best on the mic

On a big night they did a nice job. Not too much. I have found the enthusiasm of Sparks too much at times, but seems like he dialed it back just enough and was enjoyable. “Will Lewan doing Will Lewan things” after his ride out escape in .02 and win was a great line and just right.

also mercy

ok, but its a pretty tough tournament

Disagree w this take entirely

Results?

Now ranked #7, guessing he might move up by NCAA's if he wins out through Easterns. Three other pretty tough guys at 197 in EIWA: Cardenas - Cornell; Luke Stout - Princeton; and Louie DePrez - Binghamton. So winning Easterns will likley mean at least two tough matches for him. Might be better off with the 6th or 7th seed as the best chance to make the NCAA finals. He looks very tough. Brooks, Hidlay and Buchanan are seniors and he apparently has another year after this one.

You are correct sir!

Sad to note the revent passing of Denny Diehl - who loved the sport and was a great contributor from the media and sports information angle. https://eiwawrestling.org/sports/wrest/2023-24/releases/20240104oka3pi

Lehigh release leaves some doubt on Stanich's redshirt: Lehigh Probable Starters (Rankings FloWrestling/InterMat 1/16/24) 125 Sheldon Seymour (So., Troy, Pa.) No. 2/3 Luke Stanich (Fy., Roxbury, N.J.) 133 No. 1/1 Ryan Crookham (Fy., Hellertown, Pa.) 141 No. 13/18 Malyke Hines (Jr., Kissimmee, Fla.) 149 Kelvin Griffin (Fy., Berwick, Maine) Drew Munch (Jr., East Stroudsburg, Pa.) 157 No. 25/23 Max Brignola (Jr., Fair Haven, N.J.) 165 No. 27/NR Jake Logan (Jr., New Rochelle, N.Y.) 174 Connor Herceg (So., Nazareth, Pa.) 184 Jack Wilt (So., Madison, N.J.) 197 No. 7/7 Michael Beard (Jr., Reading, Pa.) 285 No. 8/8 Nathan Taylor (So., Brookville, Pa.)

Lehigh wrestlenation - Is it now clear that Stanich will not redshirt? Hard to sit a guy with a #2 ranking (even if 125 rankings are more valatile than usual). He is fun to watch.

Maybe he thinks its like "50 Cent"

I noticed this.

Mountain Hawks in the Rankings #17 Lehigh hosts the Quakers with seven Mountain Hawks ranked in the top 25 of their weight classes, led by the top-ranked wrestler at 133, Ryan Crookham (#1). #2 Luke Stanich (125), #7 Michael Beard (197), #8 Nathan Taylor (285), #13 Malyke Hines (141), and #23 Max Brignola (157) account for the other Mountain Hawks nationally ranked heading into Friday's dual. Probable Lineup at Lehigh 125 – Max Gallagher 133 – #10 Michael Colaiocco or Alex Almeyda 141 – #13 CJ Composto 149 – Andy Troczynski or Kelly Dunnigan 157 – #24 Lucas Revano or Jude Swisher 165 – Kaya Sement 174 – #7 Nick Incontrera 184 – #17 Maximus Hale 197 – Martin Cosgrove or #24 Cole Urbas 285 – John Stout Sunday match v. Stanford in the Palestra: Cardinal in the Rankings Stanford travels to the City of Brotherly Love with five grapplers nationally ranked, with #11 Daniel Cardenas (157) leading the team. #12 Nico Provo (125), #17 Nick Stemmet (197), #21 Jaden Abas (149), and #21 Lorenzo Norman (174) even out the other Cardinal who are ranked in the top-22 of their weight classes this week. Above is cut and paste from Penn's web page. Should be a lot of good individual matches in both. Lehigh seems to have the edge in clear favorites and likely bonus points. Penn probably has to win at least 5 of 6 from 141 through 184 - which will not be easy.

In his day, mean Gene Mills. Did not get the chance at Moscow Olympics, but as I recall he had a real shot.

Guys ranked in the top 15 are legit contenders for AA, even if not likely AA's. Ranking are not perfect but all seem pretty good! Not many PSU wrestlers underperform their rankings/seeds at nationals, but Kasak is not yet proven. Early signs are pretty good!

these and Dan Gable are good nominations. Maybe Jon Trenge the year he lost in the last few seconds to Damion Hahn in the NCAA finals? Was that the year before Trenge met Cael (bumping up a weight for his 4th NCAA title) in Albany?

There has been some consolidation, but I am too lazy to look up how it has been working and its impact on Edinboro and the teams of the consolidating schools.

Wow - Iowa might pitch a shutout.

Probable Lineup vs. North Carolina 125 – Max Gallagher or Ryan Miller 133 – #10 Michael Colaiocco or Alex Almeyda 141 – #12 CJ Composto or Spencer Barnhart 149 – Andy Troczynski or Kelly Dunnigan 157 – #25 Lucas Revano or Jude Swisher 165 – Kaya Sement 174 – #11 Nick Incontrera 184 – #16 Maximus Hale 197 – Martin Cosgrove or #25 Cole Urbas 285 – #33 John Stout or Zach Delsanter Close matches: #25 Spencer Moore (125) #5 Lachlan McNeil (141) #20 Gavin Kane (184) #18 Max Shaw (197) https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/fbca2c4b-6427-4c56-8217-7f620cd296c0 Not sure if this is ESPN or pay ESPN+
