And earlier in the year none of you predicted a national championship. None of you. In fact many said Cael was being selfish for pulling his shirt and not allowing him to be a 4 time champ. You know that. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know...

5 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to the psu refs, you gave them 2 matches tonight.
PSU 5-5 in finals. What they are doing is unbelievable (too young to appreciate Iowa's halcyon days)
I never thought that. Anyone who watched the scuffle could see he was capable of winning it.
Whoa, in all honesty, one of the worst ncaa finals I've ever seen. Wow that was bad. Made the sport look like total fraud and lies
Why was the Nickal takedown ref reviewed but not Dean's near the end??????
Refs decided the final two matches. I think they were caught up in the Penn State hype. Makes it difficult to stomach the sport I love. We've been saying this for years and I'm losing hope it will get better.
Despite this, some great wrestling tonite
Been there done that. Twice. I do appreciate your need for validation from Iowa fans though, it's cute. So congrats.
Hats off to PSU. They took down two 2 time champs. Hate to admit it, but that was impressive.

Seriously that was as bad as I've seen it. And to the benefit of Bael Sanderson, a total scumbag.
How did they run out? How many wrestlers did they have? How many do you get? Sucks for Dean...he had the take down I think
Just think...if Suriano wasn't hurt, PSU could have had SIX champs. WOW!
It's real classy if all the opposing fans coming to the Hawk board to gloat.
Nonetheless congrats. You get what you earn.

As much as I hate it that PSU has replace Iowa as wrestling's big dog, man you have to give them and Cael credit. They won the finals matches they were supposed to, and they won the matches most thought they would lose. I figured then 2 for 5, and they won 5. I wish the Hawks would show up like that.
LOL, that post is desperate and beneath the great posters on this board.
Marquee would be 2 National championships...unless, of course, you're saying beating an opponent on the biggest stage, in the finals, in collegiate wrestling doesn't translate to a "marquee" win. No question his nemesis was Dake but outside of that he dominated...yes he got caught by Jenkins as a Frosh but it happens. Can't say he didn't dominate bro...you can count his collegiate losses, in four years, on 1 hand.
Happy Valley is rocking tonight. Cheers to them. Great wrestling by all 5 finalist.

Bro, what was his marquee win in college. Name me the match that you'd point to showing DT as otherworldly.
Plenty of two time champs never got the same press.
No. If you didn't notice Iowa has done that twice. But hey enjoy your time here gloating. Talk about sore winners.

Who in college has ever had "otherworldly" wins...define that? That question doesn't make sense. I understand your direction but I think your off...dude has like 3 losses in college. Can only beat who's in front of you, and oh by the way, can make the finals...cuz that's where he resided. Again, lost to Dake and Jenkins...no one else. I'd venture to say that's a damn good collegiate career man.
Not gloating just excited. But, I thought the record was 5 championships not 6?
So no answer? I can think of two really good guys he faced - Jenkins and Dake - and he got torched by both. His best win after that is probably beating Derek St John when he was a freshman.
For example, if you asked me for a good win by Metcalf, I'd say his whipping of Jordan Burroughs, or his many destructions of Jenkins, the same guy who crushed Taylor.
9 if you want to be technical
