And to make it better, I'm pretty sure he's actually talking about them bellying out on bottom.
Welsh not clamping it down, concerning?

Bush escaping the assassin.. I’m concerned about Josh right now
The scouting report, for Kasak, apparently is to poke him in the eyes and head butting him, at least it seems to happen frequently, in the matches he wrestles.
Since someone always asks, Cael Sanderson's team had an 39-3 edge in takedowns.

We look like we're in practice shape not match shape.
Is it just me, but he looks just like the guy we had at Hwt last year.
No. That extra 0.8lb is evident from a mile away.
I'm pretty concerned about how much we have to be concerned about. It's concerning, no?
Penn State wrestling won its 18th straight home opener and 17th consecutive season opener when it started the 2026-2027 season with a resounding 42-3 victory over Bloomsburg Thursday night at Rec Hall.

PJ Duke, Mitchell Mesenbrink, and Connor Mirasola won their debuts at 165, 174, and 285 pounds, respectively. And, Cael Sanderson's team had a 40-3 edge in takedowns.

Penn State wrestling returns to the mat tonight when it takes on Bloomsburg at Rec Hall. Follow live updates here.
Great work as always, @SlipperyPete!
He weighed in at 173.4 today. The nice thing about the Statbroadcast site that PSU is using this year is that it shows the wrestlers' weigh-in weights. If the link below does not default to Messenbrink's match then click on "View" for Bout #7 and look under Bout Info to see the wrestlers' weights:

Could be a sign of a future concussion. Better watch it closely.
Unless something changes, it will only be a 40 point margin of victory at nationals this year...
Just glad it's wrestling season again! Looking forward to the Oklahoma match coming up. We have some things to work on but Cael's team will be right there about to break the scoring record again before we know it.
I had it 39-3 . Did you maybe count the reversal for Mitchell as a takedown
I waited as long as I could but no one posted it yet. Looks to me like Cael worked them hard yesterday to see how they respond in the dual. They wrestled through it.
Goes without saying, but thank you @SlipperyPete for the outstanding PBP as always. Hoping you get your medical issues figured out. Welcome back!!
Guys are coming out firing in front of a large crowd of supporters.
Some may need time to find or recapture individual paces.
Ono never has had this opportunity.
I’d like to think that would account for some, if not all, of it.
- Luke got dragged into the second period
- Ono gassed in front of his family
- Hayden lost the shutout
- Shane’s shoes clashed with his singlet
- Kasak not getting off shots and is obviously still concussed
- PJ got dragged into the third
- Mesenbrink moved up one weight and now his singlet is two sizes too big
- Welsh not clamping it down
- Barr could only score fifteen points against a Bush from Grundy
- The bigger Mirasola could barely major their only ranked wrestler from my high school
Ladies and Gents, we have finally returned to the pack. Albeit a few years after Taylor & Ruth graduated.
