This is the most entertaining wrestling board the weekend of natties. Pure comedic gold...
NCAA Championship Thread : Session III
- Thread starter Vallholl
- Start date
I agree with the logic. Only problem, I went outside, cloudy, snow up to my belly on the level and eye level where I try to shovel it, strong north wind and 10 degrees, and snowing. So I went back inside and sat under a heat lamp, close enough I guess. 🙂
He's obviously jerking chains trying to get a reaction , why bother with him? Unless you have an awesome insult about his mom or sister . Then fire right back at him.
Provincialism is the word you are looking for. And as a native Pennsylvanian at least, I can tell you that there is a uniquely genetic quality to it among us.
While totally impotent a reply of ," bend over I'll show you" would have been epic.
Btw, if you're paying attention , it's possible for me to behave .😎
I believe we will be seeing more of him in the coming years.
For quite some time now…. Like I said, I’m far from privy of these details, but I do know there’s been interest in quite a few guys on a lot of your wishlists. Some names would shock many.
You’re better behaved here than certain other places, as is befitting a guest I suppose.
You can’t have it both ways. Cobe let’s it fly and then people say he makes dumb mistakes
Spencer actually proves my point. It his disloyalty to the code that so incensed rec hall to boo him. Not that I want to reopen that particular can of worms. Just think of it as analogous to Amish shunning.
A short story to illustrate. My mentor and I went to Dickinson, a slac in south central pa. On graduation he goes home for the summer to York (in south central pa). Neighbor says, so what are you going to do? He says, I’m going to law school. Neighbor says, where? Penn, he responds (as in, Ivy League Penn in Philly). Neighbor says, “couldn’t get in to Dickinson?”
Exactly. I know how to behave , also most of the talk here is on topic.
You were saying that provincialism is a genetic quality amongst Pennsylvania folks, I gave an example that was more concerned about making what he felt the right choice was rather than staying home. And you say I prove your point?
Spencer, ADS, Murin, Ky, and Kem are the outliers in your argument. The people that booed Spence at state college are the supporting evidence. My example of Spencer doesn’t prove your point. The people that booed him do.
We have to get past the interest stage. Upper weights are a problem. We can't simply look past that.
It’s funny. Do you ever visit their off topic shoppe? It’s like the alternate universe to test shoppe with the bearded mr Spock.
They didn't burn any shirt. He has 3 years left. That year didn't count.
As in any other genetic population, there is mutation. But until the environment changes, you describe the population by the non mutants.
It'd be even better/funnier if Penn State stopped winning national titles.....
That's a fairly small sample size. You know how many people grasp what a 4x national champ means. PSU fans I know ( football fans and alums) barely know wrestling is going on.
Psu won an NCAA tournament basketball game btw. That's getting way more attention locally.
I'm guessing wrestling fans are a lot more plugged in to this stuff compared to general sports fans.
So we have agreed from the beginning, but seemingly looked at it from different perspectives. See everyone, agreement can be reached among psu and Iowa fans.
What’s that….
Sucks that psu is about to lose their coaches but I’m not sad to see him move on. I actively rooted for them last night. They kicked ass.
You never know when a slush fund might arise….
Not even the great Cael can raise that much money. Notre Dame has big pockets.
Hopes for tonight:
Max finally AA. He can be frustrating to watch but he is as blue collar as a wrestler can get. Holds position and doesn't beat himself. Had one of the best in the last several years with fear in his eyes. Now that a team title isn't on the line I can root for him. Come on Max!
Warner has long been one of my favorite non-PSU wrestlers. He is another guy that grinds it out. Obviously dinged up but still grinding. Tough one in Allred tonight but he should do better than Dean against him as he has a little more length.
Cass is another of my guys to watch. He has a funny personality and seems to be enjoying the journey, Dare I say he is grateful to be wrestling and FUN to watch? His match with Schulz was good viewing. CS is a mountain and a big man to be moving around. Cass got it done. Just for the doubters I don't think Fat Cass wins that match. I think a slow moving brawl would have gone to Schultz. Good on Cass. Now go get Parris so we can have Kerk-Cass part 4 or 6 whatever number it is now.
I do think Spencer better be careful with Ramos. Ramos has tossed him once. Will the toss in the dual play in Spencers head? I doubt it. Lee wins setting up some trash talking with Glory tomorrow. A Glory that has had a full day of feed to recover and no need to make 125 ever again makes this an intriguing matchup.
Woods Hardy part 3 is one that I am interested in. I have watched Hardy since he was a little shaver. Watched him dominate regional tournaments in HS. Hardy Woods part 2 in the B1G was good watching. Hoping for more of the same. Sorry guys have to root for the almost local guy in this one. Go Hardy!

Here is the screengrab I got from the match...clearly shows Van Ness has both feet out of bounds (right foot is denting the mat)
Someone with a rule book can quote it, but i think it states you must have one anchor point in...
Funny you say that - heard ole Sadulaev was on campus recently. Word on the street…Sadulaev would shock me
Mos def re max. I love guys that are like fourth line hockey players. Never had an ovechkin jersey, but I’ve had Matt Bradley, Matt Hendricks, and Garnett Hathaway.
This call, Haines being flat and no fall called, and not even a review of the finish with yanni and murin… horrible. That’s a huuuuge swing in points.Here is the screengrab I got from the match...clearly shows Van Ness has both feet out of bounds (right foot is denting the mat)

I mean - not even a brick.
