I hate making excuses but I’m going to make one because our guy isn’t winning by big enough margins.
Hope you PSU fans remember all the excuses you are making for your guys when another fan bases does the same for their guys

DESMOND NEEDS TO HIT THE WEIGHTS HARD !!!!
You’re only saying that because you’re anonymous
285 R32: Lucas Cochran vs. George Hopkins (PRES)
Period 1:
Tying up & hand fighting. Hopkins quickly looses his ankle band. Cochran drives forward & takes Hopkins to the edge. Hopkins circles back to center. Cochran with some snaps. He hits a throwby, gets rear standing, then brings Hopkins to the mat for the TD, 3-0. Cochran has a turn locked up & adds 2 NF, 5-0. He hits a tight waist tilt & adds 4 NF more, 9-0. Cochran hits another tilt & adds 4 NF more, 13-0. He goes over 1-min riding time too. Cochran hits one more tilt for 2 NF more & the quick 15-0 Tech!
Lucas Cochran TECH George Hopkins 15-0 (2:19)

Bundy probably should not have taken down in 2nd after being ridden for 2:30 in first (he was then ridden the whole 2nd period)
Kind of like Lord Spencer and his malady of the month (mono, the ague, the vapors, consumption, etc)
There are other fanbases?
Garcia got a takedown at the last second to win 5-3 against Presbyterian.

pretty sure everyone has a mother. some of us just do a better job of listening to good advice than others. you're an adult (I assume) - make your own choices. My point, which I think you may have missed, is that illness this time of year in the northern hemisphere isn't about the "Holidays". That is a contributor, but other factors play a much bigger role.
Let me live my life....
Aim this at the wrestlers and leave us super fans alone....
yes a few, until Saturday night at Ncaa's then there is an awful lot of silence.

And my point, which you definitely missed, was that I am hilarious.
Until the fan base grows materially, just remember that it’s the monopolist’s world and we consumers are just playing in it.
If they pull Davis’s redshirt there are open tournaments in PA 4 of the next 5 weekends. Plenty of opportunities to get to 15 matches.
IIRC, Lyme’s disease was even getting bandied about at one point.
Whenever he won, he was an all-timer. If he lost, he has bad knees. Like clockwork.
HEW isn't talked about enough IMO...IIRC, Lyme’s disease was even getting bandied about at one point.
The HR loves that one.
Recapping the morning session
Penn State sent 13 wrestlers to the Southern Scuffle. Seven are still in the championship bracket. Five are still alive in the consolation bracket. And one Nittany Lion, Aaron Nagao, is done for the day after medically forfeiting his next two matches following a 4-0 win in his opener. That match was his first since November. And, whatever he hurt in the Army Black Knight Invitational -- he wrestled Satuday with a sleeve or brace covering his upper right arm -- is clearly still an issue.Consolation action is ongoing as of the time of this post at 1:30 p.m. ET. Round of 16 matches for the championship bracket are in a bit.

Can Davis wrestle unattached at the upcoming opens and preserve his shirt? I would think so? Give him a couple of weeks to get on weight and wrestle and see how he looks. Could be a little rusty and should see where he is at before pulling his shirt.
Degl just won his first consolation bracket match by medical forfeit over Solis of Maryland.
Just got slammed with football portal so apologies for no PBP a Ty Watson update:
[Consi of 32 #2] Ty Watson (Penn State) won by F over Pete Winterstein (North Caro.) 7-0 2:23
[Consi of 32 #2] Ty Watson (Penn State) won by F over Pete Winterstein (North Caro.) 7-0 2:23
We had never seen anything like him! Even in Dagestan Lord Spencer was spoken about in hushed tones in the mosques, madrassas, medinas and hookah bars
I couldn’t concentrate. Locusts ate my crops!
Not exactly what I was going for.
Very evocative of “hey Giorgi!” From sctv. (“Oh no, Uzbeks have drunk my battery acid!”)

I don’t understand it either, think it’s Davis time. Hopefully Cael knows what he’s doing
Is Davis even an option? Doubt it. I think he is spending this season cleaning the stadium.
If someone wrestles unattached…does it count for number of matches for tournament qualifications?
