I'm complete opposite. Nothing about Ayala coming in made me think he'd be a two time finalist, let alone at multiple weights (in fact I thought it was dumb to move up to 133). Solid top 6 guy maybe, maybe a third like DeSanto if he caught a heater in the tourney, but he's exceeded my expectations twice. Wish he hadn't froze in his couple finals matches, but you only get to freeze under the brightest lights if you are actually there to begin with.

I don’t know what I’m talking about. I have about two blow ups a season.. PSU week is one of them most of the time.Great goal post move. Just kidding…it was awful. We never considered NCAA runner ups to be dog **** and we aren’t doing it now either.
Now, let’s get back to your CEO idea.
I hope he does! He’s going to have to bring his old game and not this year’s version.
I am fairly certain most cases are the competitors themselves pushing themselves to get back out there. Hell, wasn’t part of the reason Nicky pushups left Penn State was because he wasn’t given permission to wrestle with his ankle injury? Even if that is a naive take because coaches want to put their team in the best position to win, do you not see the difference in asking an athlete to compete through pain and forcing his hand? I have never heard of an incident of punitive punishment before.
I wouldn't be shocked to see Drake take this match, he's facing a lot of bs right now. I'm sure he's taking his fall way more seriously than any of us.
Make a statement tomorrow night Drake!
You have it in you!
A win tomorrow night will set the ship on the right course!

Tyler Knox is not Drake Ayala. I'm calling it now, Drake gets out of his funk and takes him out tomorrow night in Carver.
That’s a Tognetti!No honey, you look great!
Ummm.....Didn't Tyler Knox beat Drake last season? I'm not counting out Drake tomorrow, but just stating the facts.
I get it, just think Drake finds himself tomorrow night.
Uhhhmmm, No. You can disclose X amount of things. They didn't disclose anything, which is very much a Coachspeak thing. It is what it is.
I know he wrestles better come tournament time. He has a tough stretch coming up. That weight is ridiculous. Its a tough schedule, but one big win can get the ball rolling.
It’s not likely but no point in saying you’re beat before the match is wrestled
I dont predict more than 3 team takedown tomorrow night. 1 from Angelo, 1 from Ben, the other from either Dean or Drake. Problem is Dean or Drake will also likely give up one sobthey need two. Trust me I never use to be this bad but this team has beaten any ounce of hope out of me. And that didn't happen overnight
3 team takedown
9 stalls against us.

You’re not wrong, but kicking him off the team is a gross overreaction, and if there was meddling in a wrestling decision from a donor, that’s a huge issue. Of course, we still don’t know what’s true and what’s not, so who knows.
Come on . . . it's not a statement that's worthy of a belly laugh. It wouldn't be a shock. Drake is a two-time finalist.
Not fair. He was hurt and wrestling at most 7 mins a week. That’s no joke. How could he have been rolling with Drake. They get along great now and Drake was pissed at his mom for saying anything. Let’s not characterize this behavior in any kind of way. Thanks.
Right!!! I hate to say this about Tom but he’s had differing opinions on several different wrestlers injuries. Including the head man at big game. That’s the primary reason for his departure from and resentment of his time at Iowa. I say this now because it’s well known and a prime example of this happening before, if in fact, it happened now.
I'm not connected like many of you so wouldn't know who is and is not an insider aside from perhaps some of those folks who have been staying off the boards as of late...
Assuming he truly was "kicked off the team"?
Regardless I can't help but feel like the presence of $ isn't helping situations like these.
Huge DA fan but the PSU staff will have him scouted out. Don't pressure in or he'll hit his slide by, and watch out for his lefty sweep single. Drake can get out from bottom and can ride a bit but no turns. I'd absolutely favor Blaze in scrambles but Drake will go a full 7 minutes hard. To me, it would be an upset if DA wins but I hope he does!
Do a little digging or talk to some guys who competed at a high level. Just bc it doesn't get reported a lot doesn't mean it's not happening. It's been a part of high level competition forever. Hell it got bad enough at Bama even the king himself Nick Saban took some heat over "cutting" injured players a few years ago.

Think how achieve feels. He relocated to follow the hawk program, donates and had to change his nameback in in disgust. Damn spellcheck.
But what if your leg is burning from the sun, or from spilling hot coffee?
My son has been working his butt off for you ungrateful Turds.Now I have to go to Mom Jail. Thanks a h**e.
I am pretty sure the opposite was true wrt Suriano, he was hurt and they were pushing him to wrestle.
Watch 2017 Psu vs Iowa dual, just the first match so It doesnt sting too bad.
