It is tough to make yourself shoot if your target is on his knees sliding backwards, or standing and always stepping backwards. I mean sure Luke could take a desperate shot, get extended and give McGowen his only shot at winning. But damn, that sounds like a really poor plan.

I realize your post is somewhat sarcastic. But that award is based on the entire season.
Damn. That’s an 82% winning rate for this team this weekend. That’s pretty incredible.
Would you rather they did not call stalling, allow the continued non engagement and just decide the outcome with rideouts. I would have been perfectly OK with referee #17 calling Robideau for a couple stalls last night for refusing to engage.
All to eventual all americans
SVN, Rocco and Duke (puke) to NCs
Blaze to #2 and #3
Davis to #4 and #7
Cole to #5 and #8
Can’t say there are really any “bad losses” in there.

Sounds like that isn’t the case. He’s from NC. Moved to Bishop McCruit for the “academics”.
He wrestled in the first rounds. Several times getting scores off of opponents taking terrible extended shots as he retreated.
Well guys, it's time to grab a spoon and crack open a half gallon of Happy Happy Joy Joy from the Creamery.
Rocco has to develop some offense. He can’t rely on pulling rabbits out of hats late in matches every single match. It will bite you at some point and it did tonight.
WATCH: Cael Sanderson's NCAA Championship news conference (including an appearance from Luke Lilledahl):
So Mitch has to win the Hodge now right? After tonight, how can he not
Which is funny because he moved from one of the most educated areas in the country.
Have you been to Johnstown? Obviously full of the best and brightest
Two guys wrestling their assses off trying win, Shayne v Valencia and Jax v Davino were both entertaining as hell.
Looking ahead and at a couple young kids at or close to being st PSU... Henckle I see as a Levi type kid, grinder that just gets sh it done. Jayden James folks.... that's the one I think is gonna be Jason Nolf type special. Gonna be a scoring machine. I like the heavy weight kid that will be coming in. Mirasola might be in trouble in his own room eventually let alone what other teams have. We got a great young 125 lber to replace Luke eventually. And I think you're gonna see some huge hauls in recruiting next few years cuz....well ....cuz Cael doesn't lose.
Maybe not. I’ll have to retract my comment. But he did wrestle pretty well. Gotta give him credit.
I think I wrote this down incorrectly. May have inverted Tags and Majors
5 Falls
17 TFs
5 Majors
14 decisions
I have not seen the final takedown count
3B near Harrisburg opened today. I should've stopped an bought a quart.
My creamery is 3B and my gym is 5B.
They are fighting each other for my attention.
And I recall more than a few being critical of the other d6 coaches for being vocal about it. They were correct. McCort runs a crooked, recruiting program and ******** right they should not be allowed to wrestle in the same district where everyone else develops the kids they actually have that grow up there. **** McCort
I’m aware that’s where Bishop McCort is located, but I don’t think Jax grew up there. According to others, he moved there from NC.
Never underestimate the anti Penn State bias. But you are right. He
should win the Hodge.
What an amazing year. Lots to be grateful for and yet lots to work on. Barr keeps getting better MM gets better Levi gets better. Luke gets better. The template is there, both for freestyle and folk style. Great freshman class…….the guys who rolled and the guys who redshirted. Rocco was an upgrade. Ono, who knows but he certainly appears to be fun to have around.
Wow!
Wow!
My yearly glass of celebratory Strawberry milk is halfway down!
Your memory is serving you left. He’s had five twice - 2017 and 2022.

Vega is Zahid Valencia and Forrest is Randy Lewis. They have two great wrestlers. The others were beneficiaries of biased referees and stalling.
And they still don't have any championship guys after 157.

It's an up-and-coming town with a bright future.Have you been to Johnstown? Obviously full of the best and brightest
I expect they rewrite that record again next year and apparently in 2028 they might break it again, but it won't make any difference because the Cowboys are going to outscore Penn State that year. Or so I have been told.
I wish they would use common sense and consider a motive. It made zero sense for Davino to stall in that situation. It’s a 1pt match and it’s in his best interest to get up and out as quickly as possible. He’s not stalling.
That poster is a moron even if he has good credentials. It's friggen nationals. They just broke the points record. Stop with trying to get hits with hyperboly. sheez.
Also the 2nd. Seriously, you can't expect a wrestling media outlet to know things like this when they're anointing OkSt as the GOAT.
You don't really understand wrestling... especially national championships, right?
