285: #14 Nick Nevills PSU tech fall David Farr AWP, 17-2 (TF; 4:31) 45-0

Notes:
Suriano dominant. Army kid did enough to slow down Nick and avoid the tech.
Gulibon very good vs ranked kid. Takedowns at will at the end.
Zain/Nolf/Bo = Zain/Nolf/Bo (add Vincenzo?)
Morelli at 174, Didn't look great. Shakur to cover a tournament over the weekend.
McCutcheon gave up 8 inches to Army 197, held on at the end for a win, this is a project.
 
Awesome!

sidenote: Army's lineup had no one ranked in top 100, coming out of HS, in 9 out of 10 weight classes.

But still...what a testament to Cael's ability to develop talent! ;)

How many top 100s does Iowa Central Community College and Cornell College (Div III) have?

With the recent trend in Iowa, landing Lee, Teasdale, Warner, Marinelli and starting Kemmerer this season, I guess Brands has decided to stop developing talent....what a sell out;)

Funny you should ask because I believe Dayton Racer (who was a top 100 in the class of 2015) wrestles for Iowa Central. So at least one.

In the past he has had guys like Pat Downey, Richie Lewis, and Joe Colon, who were top 100 types out of high school. I guess what I am saying is just because it's a JUCO you shouldn't be down on Iowa Central.

Not sure on the number of top 100's but I doubt you will find a post from an HR poster putting match summaries of those 2 duals on BWI. ;)

To me, the post worthy stuff for this board from last night's duel was the hilariously cringe worthy announcing. Gems like:
"His helmet is in his eyes" (referring to an Army wrestlers head gear)
"He's going for another takedown" (when the wrestler was already down)
"He did great as a true freshman" (referring to the Army wrestler after being rag dolled by Suriano)
Edit: needed to add this one "He was going for the down under"

Plus many more miscalls, escapes instead takedowns, technicals instead of falls. It was entertaining, in a train wreck sort of way, just listening to the commentary.

I'm pretty sure none of the Penn State wrestlers want to duel with Army

Almost sounds as good as B10's student commentary - "The most famous match involved Nebraska and when the Nebraska coach held up his fist toward the ref(he was begging for a stall call), the announcer said "the coach is calling for an illegal fist to the back penalty".
 
I am glad someone said it. It seems odd to me to have that posted on this board. However, had AZcheif posted it, then it would have been cool.

Willie stopped by and said he always thought Finematerial was a Hawk fan. I told him no and that one could tell by the art of the subtle troll...like posting PSU results on here. I have no problem with posting other dual results/summaries but I think we all know FM's intent: To show how super duper his team is. However, I dare the PSU guys to take on Army in an organization/time management dual...haha. Those boys have to hold it down at a top academic school, while dealing with the military academy stuff and oh yea...let's throw the challenges of wrestling in there. My hat is off to the service school dudes.
 
To be transparent, not many of us can post on BWI anymore.
The real question is, why would you?

All you have to do is come here and you'll get the majority of their crew anyway. Seems like a waste of bandwith to me, but what ev's.
 
Agreed, but then it's FineMaterial who posted it. He probably posts here approximately 83% more than he posts on BWI.

FM's troll-like tendencies aside for a moment, I enjoy reading about all the top wrestling programs and I'd welcome a Hawk fan posting results on the BWI site. Just my 2 cents.

PS- Also my 2 cents, Suriano and Joseph are the real deal, right now. Just sayin'. :)

I've resisted the urge to post in this thread (until now) hoping that it would just fade away. Unfortunately we can't help ourselves...

I think that is everybody's 2 cents...don't think you will get much argument.

Those guys are new to wrestling and just searching for more friends. And they must be really bored with each other.

Despite FlyingPussyCats wonderful statistical analysis imposed upon us recently (or enlightening us perhaps, depending upon your perspective I guess - this whole wrestling thing is fairly new to the Midwest folks.......), most of us presume Top 10 overall recruits are "the real deal". That is why people tend to recruit them more than the 273rd overall recruit after all.

Despite the pedigree coming in, I would caution anyone to throw out the "real deal" thing after a dual with Army however. Just sayin'. ;)
 
Count me in the group that doesn't care to see Penn State dual scores posted here. Those of us that care to follow that information know where we can find it.

Is FM going to post every PSU dual score this season or is he just bragging about beating up on the US Army on Veteran's day? ;)
