I thought Sammy was throwing it away. My secretary ran in to make sure I was ok when I screamed and celebrated!
Ironside called it "Almost a Rico Roll"
Wait a couple years. We'll be back on top in a big way.Penn State is just a class above, again, even with only 8 wrestlers. And looking at their roster I don't see it ending any time soon.
Im really not sure how he came out of that on top... but glad he didSammy's match was the perfect example of "sometimes it's better to be lucky than good." I thought he was toast when Parker hoisted him into the air. Great SA and quick reaction!
So i think what creates the most angst is the lack of debelopment or when that development is peaking. Add that to the fact that PSU is wrestling on another world right now and casual fans are saying WTF? Shit, fans that are up to date with the wrestling landscape are saying WTF.

Nah we just think it's time for Retherford and Nickal to lose, is all....I agree. But these same guys will be chirping if retherford beats Sorensen and nickel beats brooks even though they wouldn't be choke jobs
I would ALMOST wager Iowa doesn't win a wrestling natl title as long as Cael is at PSU. They won't get enough horses to ever compete with that talent. Pennsylvania is LOADED with hs talent, and Cael gets whatever the hell he wants.Wait a couple years. We'll be back on top in a big way.
Lee and Teasdale ring any bells? Not too mention a few we picked up the last couple years.I would ALMOST wager Iowa doesn't win a wrestling natl title as long as Cael is at PSU.

ESPN main channel did a replay and Johnson called it a "cow catcher" and Brooks
Ironside / Grace saw video
"Parker had a body lock"
"Brooks used his momentum and his hips to lift thru and it was tight"
Ironside called it "Almost a Rico Roll"
That's not enough.U

This...Anybody actually calling today a choke job (thus far) needs only to look at their own idiotic expectations.
Gilman rolling as expected. Clark AA. Sorensen being Sorensen.
Sure Kem hurt, but hes a frosh with a shot at 3rd.
Meyer was a great positive to be wrestling where he was today and almost had it.
They have wrestled "up" so far, even if you want to consider Clark and Sorensen 2 seeds.
They weren't in the team race to begin with, they wrestled great yesterday and some decided that meant everyone was going to win titles.
Warner, Murin, Brands.U

Totally not a choke job. We are wrestling fine. Just not enough studs. It would be interesting to know what Kem gameplan was. We need to recruit even better. Need to make sure we have holes at least filled next year. If Stoll not recovered, Holloway to heavy, who is 197?I'm not sure about "top", but at least on the same level. We ABSOLUTELY need to keep the recruiting momentum up.

Yeah well they should f***ing stop.

I want to see us win a NC again. Sick of PSU winning every year.
Only 9 teams lower that ISU in the team standings. Dresser going into pretty bare cupboard.1 team point for ISU. That's fantastic.

Ironside mentioned seeing Dresser. Not talking to Dresser, just seeing him.Only 9 teams lower that ISU in the team standings. Dresser going into pretty bare cupboard.
Explain. Us Hawk fans need to just calm down and face the facts. I realize it's tough going from winning so many titles to just being a top 3 team every yr.You're an idiot... Thanks for stopping by!
Mullet Mauling, eh?
So, if I typed in the PBP this:
"Parker standing, has a body lock and they go over but Sammy's business upfront and party in the back, counting and now the fall for Brooks."
AKA : "BUPB"
You guys can follow that?
Penn in state tuition helps and being creative with out of state tuition.Love your confidence, but I remember people saying similar things a few years ago. PSU was supposed to 'come back down to Earth' after Taylor and Ruth graduated or when Cael no longer had the advantage of the extra guys who followed him from ISU.
Unfortunately, they appear to have reloaded without missing a beat, still winning when it matters most and still scoring plenty of bonus points. And it's not just that they win, it's how they win. Smart, aggressive. Makes me sad.
