Man I get all the concern for Braden with his performance, but man he’s not gonna get his lungs over a few weeks. I’m sure the kid is busting his *** in the room.
For those of you who have never had to deal with smoke in an uncontrolled environment, it’ll make you feel the worst you’ve ever felt (speaking from experience). And it takes a while for you to feel better. He’ll be ready for Bigs and NCAA’s
Whoever is in the room teaching the assassin is doing a great job!
Did someone introduce the assassin move this year in the room? I don't remember seeing it used by PSU wrestlers before.
Scooter still living that thug life
The assassin
How many times have we seen it over the last 10 years? How many times have we seen it this season?

Excellent Job by all the boys tonight!!
I didn’t want to jinx it but my ONLY concern tonight was a fluke injury.
Thank God. Everyone healthy and ready to roll into postseason.
What a team!

At this point if someone doesn't pick mm they are blind or tom ryan
Mission accomplished: No injuries.
SlipperyPete's fingers aching after Cole's match.
Without a doubt in my mind Cael and Casey absolutely brutalized the guys in the room this week 
. Can't even imagine what that torture must have been like

Hard to complain about 50-0. Didn’t think the light weights looked great today and I’m more worried about 141 now than I had been.
Great job student announcers.

As mentioned earlier, Princeton 141 is VERY good. Just pinned the #6 or#7 Composto from Penn and was leading at the time. I think this was a good win for Scooter.
Facundo was the first to use it for PSU. Presumably Barr was next, as a HS and club teammate.
Thankfully no injuries to deal with tonight. Thank you to everyone for being in The Wrestling Room for tonight's match, and catch up with you all soon.
That’s as bad as I can remember seeing someone stall. No idea why he even took that the mat. I was looking forward to that match. At one point in time was hoping McGowan ended up at Penn State.
It was great seeing Levi go out with a pin. That kid he pinned was fighting like hell for a while, and then I think he was trying to put his own shoulders down. That looked really Zain-like painful!
Rocco looked great. Barr has really got the feel for the assassin. He transitions to it quickly. Mirasola looked like he was in a hurry.

Probably Scooter.....
If true, the next time you will see him is stuffed into a gym locker.
Should make the season dual margin of victory 39.4, which is to my knowledge is the most dominate season since at least pre Dan Gable. The top 3 are 2025-2026 PSU AT 39.4, 1991-1992 Hawkeyes at 36.9, 2024-2025 PSU at 35.8..
Heat up an exhaust pipe and breath some of those fumes. You think you're dying.
