I liked how after Bassett uncommitted, 9 out of 10 people here started saying that Bo wasn't even that great and that the real pain was losing Miller... Always felt like sour grapes to me, downplaying Bo and making it seem like Miller was the one who was actually the real deal. Miller's great but has come back down to earth over the last years. Bo keeps jumping levels somehow.
Lmao… you’re ignorantly speaking on behalf of the entity of this board. I can assure you, when we lost Bo we knew we lost a gem and I’m confident I speak for the majority on here.

Bo is great, Melvin is great, and so is the younger. No sour grapes here Anonymous poster. We lost him last year, no need to fixate on what could’ve been. Wish them the best, onto the next..

Losing to Mitchell is acceptable, but losing to Joe Sealey and Cam Amine is just mind-boggling.
Crazy, wonder what happened. Maybe just not in the right headspace this weekend, Carr is definitely one of the better wrestlers in our 74kg American talent pool.

Mesenbrink can’t get past Carr, and Carr just showed he can take losses this weekend. Mikey should be good in the future, he can definitely compete with Mesenbrink, it might just be something between the ears for him.

yea good one, U got me pal!!!! As BO is in the FINALS!!!!

MAYBE TRY and be a fan that has 1/2 a brain???? IOWA had, the right kid, at the right time!!!! You figure out how to make it work and KEEP the kid a HAWKEYE!!!

He wanted to TRAIN in IOWA. OK, have him be a Camp Technician at BO BASSETT CLINICS every third Sunday of the month!!!

Seems "we' ALWAYS have these "small problems" that other teams don't!!! IF it was not at this point in time, with POS ncaa creating a disaster! You might be able to lose a kid like this and "brush it off???"

BUTT<(dats U) when ALL bets are off. When ALL rhyme or reason is GONE!!! When RULES are for the LOSERS!!! and you need SOMETHING to jolt the program, you GET IT, then IT B GONE!!!!

Well, lets just say, SIR IRON knows more then you!!! and I have a B1G problem with it!!!
Get your head out of your *** again. I never said the kid wouldn’t be in the finals or didn’t say he wouldn’t win it. Let go of the past and move on. She’s not gonna take you back.

Mikey can not compete with Mesinbrink or have you forgot about the past 12 or whatever matches

The logic i particularly enjoyed following was how Mikey can definitely compete with MM.
Then you must’ve not have paid attention to the entirety of the sentence. He CAN.. implying there is great possibility. I just believe it might be something between the ears, more mental than talent or performance.

He wrestled him close before in a B1G final. The gap is definitely noticeable; but I do believe he can compete with him.

If Carr, who owns the series between him and Mitchell, can lose to Amine (on the front side), then that must mean that Caliendo can compete with Mitchell.

I’ll take “things that never happened” for $500, Alex.


Not a bad tournament for Williams… too bad he wasn’t the “best option” at 157 for postseason

He only has himself to blame. Kudos to Brands (who I’m not a fan of) for having some scruples instead of caving for that extra point.

I would love if he could but unfortunately he can’t. Carr’s style leaves him not susceptible to get upset than Messenbrink’s does. Carr’s results are surprising but has 0 correlation to Caliendo being able to ever beat MM

Kudos for paying attention in Pre Algebra when the transitive property was covered.

You and logic aren’t in the same galaxy.
I was surprised MM didn't go in US Open, believe he would of won hands down. He did say something at Nattys about losing his passion. Is he taking a break from wrestling or something else?

Lmao, don’t you guys have your own board? I always find it odd that a bunch of you PSU fans ponder over here and live on this board. I guess we truly do live rent free in your head, even when you guys being dominant for the past decade.
I don't think PSU Mike is a troll. He defends his team but also believe he makes good posts about Hawks and wrestling in general.

Honestly there’s uncertainty even among PSU fans.

Any Hawk fans hitting the strip after the finals? Would love to buy a fellow fan a drink. On a separate note, why are there adult men PSU Fans in here? Get your s**t together.

He can still go to the Senior World Team Trials to qualify for Final X.
MM is a complicated individual as we all know. Imo he has other interests than just wrestling and is taking some time to explore those interests. He often makes a point in interviews that he isn't defined by wrestling. Hard for me as a fan but understandable

Carr also killed Cali when they wrestled. Transitive doesn't work in the first place, but all you are really showing is that Joe Sealey is levels above Cali (not true).

I didn't know he was a final x slot. Im sure he would qualify. Did he accept a final x bid? Im not sure on others.
