Blows my mind how many of these kids waste time either on the bench or pulling a stunt like this, just for the possibility that they might get to be a starter for PSU.

As a Christian my self… this is the most funniest thing I’ve read this week😂

Didn’t think mighty Cael would need to pull tricks like this to stay on top. To each their own.

Let’s see if these boys actually do mission trips and grow their relationship with God.
Thing is he doesn't need to pull tricks to stay on top. And if they are Mormons they do this.

More manipulating of the rules by holier than thou Carl (and his slimy brother).
Oh, and by the way, you're a flipping moran.

This is for you and only you. You get angrier than anyone else when it comes to anything Penn State. It's comical.

Cael found a way to still find a redshirt within the new 5 for 5. Of course he did. He must be mad scared of what's brewing in Stillwater.

I hope this can be challenged in court and blocked or some set of expanded rules are in place. We don't need anymore 25 year old's on the NCAA mats. I was so looking forward to that not being a thing anymore.

Bill Bassett: Hey there Cael, god just spoke to me about Bo and even though we already agreed he thought I should call back and ask for more money now.

Cael. That's funny Bill, I called god through my prophet John Smith and he said stay firm on the offer so we are gonna have to pass. Must be a disconnect in prophets. Any who this is awkward. Best of luck to your family.

Months later.

God. Cael this is god again, I was just chatting with the other prophets......We think we found away around 5 in 5 for your benchwarmers!

The GR8 Krailure is some B1G SCUMBAG!!!! and that is the bottom line!!!! IF this goes through? then.......?????? 5-5 is just more POS ncaa trash!!!

Among the various stupid things and predictions you've made over the years. One of them was that PSU guys had not and would not succeed at the Senior World Level. You also added that the guys who came to the NLWC had gotten worse and would continue to do so.

Levi - Gold
Dake - Gold
Snyder - Gold
Blaze - Bronze
Zain - Bronze
RBY - Silver (Big congrats to Spencer, that was awesome to see!)

So......

I doubt it , but have you ever considered some of these guys have lives off the mat and might have faith?

Honest question, and coming from a Hawkeye fan:

How would you feel if this were happening on Iowa's team? Is it sleazy, is it a way 'around' the rules, or is it because they really want to get closer to God?
Well if you read the rules they have specific criteria and it tends to favor LDS athletes. They have a highly structured , standardized full time missionary program that interrupts college for many of their members. Other religions don't really have that.

No, I haven't read the rules but it is fairly well known that collegiate kids go on 'Mormon' missions quite often as compared to other 'missions.'

What is your point? I asked him a question and am waiting for his answer. I'd tend to believe it's a combination of the two answer I provided and a 'kill two birds with one stone,' sort of deal.

It’s all three. Imagine being forced to go on a mission trip, or whatever they are calling this, and not believing in it to some extent.

If they're taking a 2 year Mormon mission, there's not much I can say. Those are the real deal.

It's not cheating....just very cynical.

Not cheating, just shady morals... nothing new for Carl.

New the Christian Redshirt!

It’s not cheating, it’s scummy.
You guys have spend an inordinate amount of time on this board bellyaching about how religious PSU wrestlers are, then when they act upon their religion you bellyache about that too. You are skeptical they are religious, then you are skeptical when they live it. Seems performative at worst, jealous at best.
