If we aren't wrestling certain matches because of injuries then I guess we should skip Rutgers match ups (Nolf's kneecap) or season ending cake walks (Starocci's knee) like Edinboro, Buffalo or American. Nagao's injuries were during practice.It's a reminder of circumstances (national championship dual meet), where (Gallagher-Iba Arena), and when (2017), in further consideration that the mats and maybe their taping was implicated. Haven't heard calls for PSU vs OkSt dual for the 7 some odd years that followed. But now all of a sudden it's embarrassing.
A whole lot of bullshyt in response to my post. I wasn't talking about Smith's take on the Big10 schools or anything else. Smith make the comment about Cael being stingy about his duals when ask a question about wrestling PSU. Smith brought his team east every year. The reason PSU and OkieSt didn't wrestle annually is because the PSU staff does have a plan and wrestling OkieSt annually is not part of the plan. That doesn't change the fact there are wrestling fans and even PSU wrestling fans who would really enjoy a PSU v OkieSt dual meet.Well, I believe Coach John Smith mostly said he would love to have more Big Ten teams come to Stillwater.
Why Smith called out the Big Ten
John Smith glanced at a computer screen and didn’t hold back.www.ocolly.com
Where is he talking about non home meets in Stillwater? Why was 2017 in Stillwater the last PSU vs OkSt dual?
Maybe John Smith didn't want to make PSU money by traveling to State College. Maybe Ok St Administration felt travel costs were excessive for a single dual meet weekend of a non-revenue sport.
Furthermore, the revenue sports of men's and women's basketball control the dates for Gallagher-Iba Arena, just like they do for the BJC. Who is DT kidding when he says he's saving a date?
Penn State drilling OkST 30-7 this fall would be a net gain for PSU and a humbling negative for Ok St. Not that difficult to understand
OKST has wrestled at Bucknell a couple times since the last PSU-OKST dual, so their AD didn't block travel to PA.
Most by vast majority vs Bucknelll in Oklahoma.
You either missed or ignored the point about the mat and tape job (facility), which has little to do with the wrestling itself. Suriano neither put himself into nor was put into any semblance of a dangerous position. Did you even watch that match closely? This is the exact point where Nick rolls his ankle.
Which one of our guys is getting majored?
Yeah I stumbled across the match. I am aware there appeared to be nothing that delivered a bone breaking trauma to his ankle.
I'll die on the minority hill on this but PSU should absolutely wrestle OK State and then feed their entrails to them after the whooping. For Taylor we can serve it to him as a Juice drink.
I would love to see both starting squads at the southern scuffle like we used to. Maybe send a back up squad and win the tournament just to let dt know who is whoI initially “liked” support for DT’s challenge, but on reflection, I don’t want a dual, especially with a jab shaded to look like Cael’s ducking. I prefer the anticipation of the season’s first meeting between a Lion and Cowboy being at the NCAAs in March.
That said, I like DT’s work to build a dynamic team and growing threat to Lion dominance. With Iowa fading, that threat will be a terrific motivator for the 3 C’s to keep steering the juggernaut to new heights, all while providing intense, nail-biting, meaningful matches that we all love.
Edit: Reflecting yet again (hey, I’m older), I’d love to see this dual.
