It’s amazing how much he cares. He must know when the DA is going to file the charges otherwise he risks getting scooped.
I'm Just Glad He Finally Learned To Not Capitalize Every Word As If Everything Is A Title, So Many Years After Graduating From Cornell.

And I'm willing to bet that Corky will be the first to come to the board and gloat about it. Don't believe me? Check his history, and then watch and learn.

Palacio would claim that we've never been on the moon, or cheated to get there.
His obsession with Penn State is unhealthy. He’s got some real issues. I do remember him acting like an **s when he wrestled DT a while ago (Scuffle or something like that).

Does anyone know if he wanted to wrestle at PSU, and there was no reciprocal interest?

IDK but kinda doubt the recruiting angle.

Quite a few Cornell guys over the years either have had an attitude toward PSU, or generally been jackasses. I suspect there was resentment toward PSU when we won the 2011 title that Cornell thought was theirs. And then more when their head coach tried to ram thru National Duals but Cael stood in the way. Grey's entire "Family Not Factory" horsecrap is transparently anti-PSU.

Some (Gabe and Max Dean) never really were that way. Others (Dake) outgrew it. Palacio bought in fully. Also he's irrelevant to everyone except himself, and a lunatic prone to say anything.

All good points.

And add to that Rob Koll thought he had the job until Cael became a candidate.

So, Rob Koll could have had his own axe to grind beyond the National Duals issue.

Yianni and Myer have said some pretty stupid things as well.

Cornell is like the Cornell of the Ivy league.

Very nearly went there for grad school, they offered me a ridiculous financial package. Then I visited; took about 30 seconds to realize it was not for me. I ended up going to a less prestigious university (with a similarly ranked program in my field), who offered a much less enticing financial package, in a kind of crappy part of the country - that's how much of a douche everybody I came in contact with at Cornell was.

My dog’s vet went to Cornell decades ago. I asked him about his experience and he basically said he refuses to give them any money because of the current… shall we say variety of people who attend and the reputation the university has created for itself.

Yup, you pretty much said it, without saying it. This was in '05, I can only imagine the "variety" of people there now.

My sister - 5yrs younger than me - went to Brown for undergrad. I visited her once while in the area for a work conference. Similar environment. She liked it, but let's just say her values and priorities are not the same as mine. Her degree from Brown is in a humanities field, which I think is useless at best and dangerous at worst, if you catch my drift. She fit right in.

His obsession is that he is a wannabe social media influencer grifter with absolutely no real world aspirations or apparent talent or drive to actually accomplish anything post college & latching himself onto these stories is his only actual path to any relevance in life. It's kind of sad and very pathetic.

Back in 2017, I was hoping he would beat Lavalee in the semis. I wanted to see Jason embarrass him on the big stage.

PJ is already one of my favorite wrestlers to watch. I'm still a little bitter about the Robideau match, especially after the head of NCAA officiating stated he believed PJ had the TD. I believe PJ would have beaten Taylor in the Finals, just like he dismantled him at the B1G tournament, reversing his earlier TB1 loss. PJ was achingly close to going undefeated last season.
