Good on Iowa. Having at least one highly ranked wrestler involved in a highlight match
Yea. Really tough for PSU wrestlers to hit 100 when they don't have a tremendous of matches each year.It is a true accomplishment anymore. Cael won 159 times, DT 134 and Nolf 123. If they wrestle 4 years and don't miss any matches they barely get to 100 matches wrestled. Winning 100 matches means you won almost all of them.
He should probably post on our “What are we drinking tonight” thread and say how much!!From the Intermat Follies.
So this is in the face of our team routinely putting up takedown ratios of 80-90% in their favor and from someone who has bragged about their knowledge of the sport

What fixes it…people willing to pay 5x more into the program than anyone else, focusing on your RTC, having your kids learn to slow wrestle (basically stall - MM and Haines as general exceptions) until they need to move and have a coach that will turn the other way and not address things that would impact the program negatively if made more public.
I see this all over. I saw it after Iowa where we had 15 TDs to their 2 and other matches where we’ve had 25+ takedowns to the other team’s 3 or 4. If we’re stalling, what are they doing?He should probably post on our “What are we drinking tonight” thread and say how much!!![]()
In addition to getting to 100 wins, he's on pace to join both David Taylor and Ed Ruth of PSU wrestlers going undefeated versus BIG competition. Levi's had:It is a true accomplishment anymore.

Shouldn't the signature read "simpleton" not "simpleman"From the Intermat Follies.

It may be fun BUT it has a rather hefty pay day.Not speaking for anybody but me, "I like sin".
Without it, Las Vegas and New Orleans wouldn't exist.Not speaking for anybody but me, "I like sin".
I confirmed everything Simpleman424 had to say: In Penn State's fourteen duals so far this season they have 447 takedowns to their opponents' 40. If that isn't proof of stalling I don't know what to tell ya'!From the Intermat Follies.

The little blond kid, back row, third from the left, I believe is Braedon Davis.I don't recognize a few of the guys. Can someone do a front row- back row. L to R ? Please.

That's Garett Hammond, not Geno Morelli, next to Caleb Livingston.Middle row: Jordan Conaway, ?, Morgan McIntosh, Jered Cortez?, ?
Evidently he’s been weight-training with Tom Ryan over at Westside Barbell.Shakur looks huge. What’s he doing these days?

Remember when he was cutting to 165 along with Morelli to get a chance to get into the lineup? John Smith would be proud. I think if he didn't cradle and pin his opponent in the first minute, he was toastShakur looks huge. What’s he doing these days?
