2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Jax didn't go to McCort for the education and certainly didn't move to Johnstown for its slums, dilapidated old steel mills or for the crack heads the government funded to move them here. . He came here to wrestle.
The way him and his brother quit again I'm wondering if they're both portal bound?
Somebody should test Ford Focus' hair.
I just want to point out that the stall call on Levi with like 15 seconds left was laughable.
At NO point in that ENTIRE match did Levi ever back away from Minto. He was squared up and generally within reach for the entire match, and was even still angling for a potential clinching shot if a good, sharp one became available.
It didn't matter, of course, but the lack of consistency is driving me absolutely nuts

I disagree how many times did wrestlers stand up from th bottom and the top guy hopped them out of bounds.
After hearing that AJ presser, I'm now truly convinced he did turn his entire life over to Jesus.
The PIAA Special. Token stall call at the end of the match, whether warranted or not, and when it doesn't make any difference.
Was?GUYS STOP CORRECTING ME I WAS HAMMERED
Oh I know. I just wanted to throw a dig in about my hometown and what our leaders have done to this once great town. Lol
Caliendo must have nightmares about Messenbrink.
Umm ... it was a great season and a championship season, but not a perfect season even if the blemish doesn't count.
If they wrestled each other 20 times, MM wins 25 of them.
Unfortunately, was is the correct word. To get back to present tense at this late hour would be a tad too alcoholic.
I like and appreciate that choice. So much better than the Big10 vote.
Connor Pierce appreciation post, from the State Media interviews to just how happy he looks here to be part of the team as support his teammates, seems like a great teammate
Refs find it more appropriate to give a token stall call in the last 30 secs than to call actual stalling in the first. But they never call the second if it affects the outcome. It’s an appeasement, nothing more
Sad to hear, when I went to Big Tens, I got 5, 1/2 gallons and my family did not want the Death by Chocolate one. Gave to a neighbor and not sure he wanted it. I would have dropped off for you being a wrestling fan
I would love to see a statistical analysis of stall calls based on either steps backwards, fleeing, or shot differential based oneach period. We all see it it’s just never been quantified
I think Caliendo is fully aware he could never match Mitch. I think he and coaches looked at film and thought one way to possibly catch lightening in a bottle was to get that side headlock ifrom top and with God's help somehow get Mitch on his back. It was his ace in the hole even if he knew the chances of it working were slim to none.
I was in Johnstown with a friend who graduated there. Around 8:00 we went for a “snack” and bought coney dogs downtown if memory serves me correctly.
@johnstownsteel - my buddy says Coney Island is still open and turning our coney dogs!

Yeah...Coney island been around for a very long time and once a staple of the community. Hasn't been the same since the owners sold out a few years ago. It actually a reflection of what has become of the entire town if ya ask me.
Just spoke with Mikey. I admit to the man crush on a guy who tried to battle Mitchell on his terms. Never hid, and never backed away. Just had the misfortune of timing.
but…that is how life works. He has a lot of hardware and will be better for it!
cheers to Mikey. $10 says MM will miss him.
Johnstown is not unique to this. The bottom line is nothing ever replaced the steel mills in Johnstown and it is economically depressed all these years later. This is common around PA in towns where steel mills and coal mines once thrived.
I am as big of a Penn State fan as anyone on this board, but if you don't see Ok. State as a legitimate contender in the years to come, you are kidding yourself. I believe they just put 4 freshman in the finals. They are going to keep getting better, as well. I agree that they had a dream tournament and still lost by 50, but they are pretty good and I think they are going to be very competitive with us for years to come.
Now. Is the darkest time as a college wrestling fan. The offseason
