When some clown has like 12 posts total and it's pretty obvious he's trying to cause trouble, put them on ignore. I don't know anyone here personally. I know like 2 people in person on BWI. So when I see some new poster trying to start stuff I'll check posting history like when they started their account, how many posts , and reaction scores.
Normal posters tend to get at least more reacts than posts on average. |When you see some clown with 1200 posts and like 50 likes or reacts you know you're dealing with a troll. Don't take the bait guys. You don't know who a guy like this is and you can't tell if he's a PSU fan. I know I say I'm a PSU alum and fan, but no one is sure. If I get to Nashville ever maybe NashvilleHawk can vet me, but until then I'm up in the air.
Arguing sports can be fun, trolls are just trying to aggravate, don't give the the satisfaction.
 
I kept thinking he was the second coming of Nolf myself…… Kid’s really good at wrestling
To me, he is more like Starocci was his first year. A bit limited offensively, but incredible positioning and head-hands defense.

The big difference is whether or not he can win against a top opponent by rideouts if he doesn’t get a takedown. That aspect has made Starocci so much tougher, because he has the option to wrestle very defensive and still win without a takedown.
 
Fast human reaction time is like .2 seconds. That’s like waiting for the starting gun in the sprint. When you’re watching a more complex sport and evaluating actions I’d guess a second is a good marker. It seems like maintaining control for a catch vs reaching a ball over the goal line in football.
To me it looked like a TD initially but then they said no, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.
Edit , I really have to read through my voice text posts prior to hitting the Post button,

I understand what you're trying to get at, but when you're signing 3+ top P4P wrestlers per class, you're bound to hit on a few elite guys.

You also could end up with guys like Jimmy Gulibon, the Alton twins, Nick Nevills, Mason Manville, Brady Berge, etc. It's looking like we can add Robert Howard and Beau Bartlett to this list as well.
Bartlett is kind of meh, he’s pretty good but hadn’t broke out. I guess he was out of his normal weight class but I haven’t seen him stand out where I think he’ll challenge for a top spot. I’d like to see 4-8 though , but who know?

We do, and that's usually the point where the PSU poster disappears only to show back up spewing the same BS in a new thread a day later.

How about rather than lecturing Iowa fans on how to interact with PSU trolls on an Iowa wrestling message board, the PSU fans who actually do want to discuss wrestling come to the realization that this is a rival's wrestling board with a lot of very knowledgeable fans, and they aren't going to like or agree with every single thing they read? And just because you might not agree with something on a rival's message board, it doesn't give them a pass to derail every single thread with uneducated, PSU fanboy takes like "Spencer Lee is the only reason you guys have had much to cheer about lately…..that’s about over."
Again, I don’t even know the guy. If you can use posting history is a new poster. There’s no way to tell watch school. He’s a Santa’s but of.Again, I don’t even know the guy. If you look at his posting history, he’s a new poster. There’s no way to tell what school he’s a fan of, if he even is a wrestling fan.
Obviously, I could be a Minnesota fan, a Nebraska fan, or just some pain in the ass. Over a period of time you can tell posters that are somewhat honest, and want to have a reasonable discussion about the sport or the topic at hand. And again I don’t know these guys in the real world so me reigning them in is silly.
I ignore people like that.
 
Your point? They’re arguing td or not. I saw two reasonable people make a case each way on a judgement call. Obviously if the call goes one way or another it help or hurts iowa and psu.
I want judgement calls to go Penn state’s way, you would want what benefits iowa. I get that , I’ve seen bad calls (imo) since I watched sports and stopped letting it big me.
After in 1976 World Series, the sports writer, Roger Angell wrote that you want to dominate a game so much that lock or a judgment call can affect the outcome. Everyone knows this, but if it comes down to that one call, it might not go your way. And it’s frustrating as that is for a fan it’s the reality.
For some context, the manager of the New York Yankees, Billy Martin was complaining about the series against the Reds. He said they were very close in each game except maybe one. They still got swept 4 to 0. It’s almost 50 years later in a “still stuck with me.
So maybe I’ll argue a call or just watch what other people are saying about it, but then let it go. It’s OK for people to disagree.

Lol whatever, man. I tried. Welcome to the ignore list.

Maybe a difference? They pulled the shirt officially in January and he won the BTT. He scored 19 team points.

Kid is a stud as I said back at the time of the Iowa/PSU dual. Our fans just don't want to see it.
Yeah well he needs to start f***ing losing so we don't have to watch Penn State win another f***ing national championship......................how bout that? :D

I don’t think the word you want is reasonable ? Maybe hopefully?
 
ESPN is already writing copy and shooting back stories for the 3 hour PSU infomercial on finals night.

It's going to be so much F*N!
Depending on how you look at it, that’s true. I’m a Penn State alum and fan, and I love wrestling season. I watched two sports Penn State football and Penn State wrestling. That’s it I watch a little more college football wrestling just entertain myself, but I don’t have too many friends that actively watch wrestling.
One friend of mine actually wrestled a little bit in college, and we’ll text each other over a match. He’s the only one that I physically see. Another day it’s more like Facebook friends that we message each other.
Try watching the finals at the bar. We’re trying to get one TV turned to wrestling because I’m sure you know it’s NCAA basketball tournament time.
God I hate basketball, one year I miss Spencer lease 125 town match because some basketball game went into overtime. Or maybe it just took 14 minutes to play 28 seconds like usual.
 
That link ^^ isn't specific to Big Tens but at least is wasn't to some other schools website.

If you search "Big Ten" after clicking the link above you're there.

I don't know about vetting you, my friend. But at the very least if you ever come to town let's hook up for a beer or lunch at one of the local sports bars. :)
 
Here are the Championship Brackets, Consolation Brackets, Team Scores, and Individual Scoring from the BIG tournament.

I love this Penn State site...probably the best tournament site, period. And whoever keeps it up usually isn't too far behind real time much of the B10 and NCAA tourney. The site's not perfect, but pretty darn close!
 
Will look forward to our Frosh Chit facing Haines next year. Yes, Yes Gobbs, I know you think he's a 49er.
Lol…. Like I said, I don’t give much of a rip, just can’t wait to get him in the lineup. It will certainly be a fun match up IF we get to see it. Whether it’s Chittum at ‘49 or Haines at ‘65.
 
You’re suspect Nashville Hawk.

Trackwrestling is the site to go to if you’re looking for brackets, updates, team scores, team results, mat assignments, etc.

Honestly, each year for B1Gs and Nationals, the PSWC site is my go-to for brackets and team/individual score updates. Used in tandem with Track for mat assignments and scores for matches in progress is the best way to go

Depending on how things come together I could see them keeping the same lineup from 157 up and replacing 197 or moving everyone up a weight and putting in a different 157.

This thread has been fairly entertaining, but I hope all the Hawk fans understand that this tacobell guy is the same Asshat troll that has been over here this season just changing his account. He even got creative and had a few backup accounts so it did not look like he just signed up again.
Doesn't he work for the Mexican phone company as a lineman?

By all means! I use Trackwrestling as well, but for I'm telling you for team scores, individual scores, bracket updates, etc., etc., Penn State Wrestling Club is pretty fricking awesome. And something else I like is that I don't have to go through a bunch of different windows to get to what I want. We've all got our likes, but for me, my first stop if I've missed anything is to go to the PSWC to get a quick update on the brackets, team scores, individual scores, etc., and for me personally the brackets at PSWC are much easier to navigate than Trackwrestling IMHO. Thankfully, we have more than one site from which to get our information...good to have options. :)
 
If he doesn't win it this weekend I'll be surprised if he doesn't by the time he graduates. I'm not ready to declare him the next Jason nolf but he is very good.

The Penn St WC site is my go to as well. It's so good I discovered it in 2009 before PSU bandwagon fans even knew they had a team!
