Hodge Race widens

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Mendez put some more distance between himself and his 2 closest competitors- teammates Mitchell Mesenbrink and Josh Barr.

Mendez, in a spectacular display, dominated his way to a commanding decision while his 2 rivals could only eke out bonus point victories.

Plus he wrestles for a great program where those two chumps only wrestle for a great team.

 

[Sunshinedynomite 1]

Dare I say Sarcasm alert!!??
But but but Mendez is a senior
but but but Brock hardy is at 141
But but but it's not fair to have PSU guys

Are you sure Forrest and Vega aren't the 2 closest competitors, ahead of Mesenbrink and Barr? They both wear the Magic Cowboy Hat.

If they don't split the Hodge, then next year's Flo hype video will feature the team in chaps and spurs.

Vega ain't beating Mendez, so he is out.

BTN is on a Mendez for Hodge railroad. They mentioned that he is the hands down Hodge leader and best wrestler on multiple occasions on the weekends telecasts. Bo surprise there

I'd like to derail that train and I actually used to be heritage railroad conductor, so derail is a curse word for me.

Ya think??

Look at this garbage from the Big Ten:



Not MM. Not Duke. Not Cael.
All 3 of these are laughable.

 

[LittleJ]

Mendez the only wrestler in the post win interview to bring up the Hodge as a personal goal. Let the lobbying begin.

I wish that I had Jesse's skill.

Its great to have you over here being the board conscience. Btw, your virtuousness is greatly needed over on your home board. The Mississippi is overflowing with their tears.

Thx a lot, Psalm. Now Mendez is guaranteed to get it. Or at least be co-Hodge with Jax.

 

[mjmirv]

I told you guys (and Corby) that the media was setting up Mendez to get the Hodge months ago. It was obvious in January, now the media isn’t even hiding it.

To the media… please keep pissing Cael off. You can give every award to a non PSU guy for all I care. We will just continue to boat race everyone where it really matters… team and individual titles.

It should be Brink by every metric. Period

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

It’s really not even close when you consider dominating your opponents. MM is the best folk style wrestler in the World this year. His Bonus Rate is 100 Percent. Josh Barr is a Close 2nd since he’s won Every Match By Bonus as Well.

 

[Sunshine88!]

Tom Ryan for Coach of the Year is a Complete Joke. Like in Football we All know the Big Ten favors OSU which is BS. Everyone knows including Ryan that Cael is the Best HC on and Off the Mat….Will see who gets picked After The National Tournament. That’s the Grand Daddy of them All.

 

[lionlover]

Ohio st has had a good year. Penn St always has good years . You have every right to B!ATCH!

Correction: Penn State is having an HISTORICAL RECORD BREAKING YEAR.

 

[GoPSU97]

Ridiculous, it’s who had the BEST year, not a participation award for Ryan and his crew

AND NEXT YEAR THE TEAM WILL BE EVEN BETTER!!

 

[JohnRKelly]

Figuring out the Hodge is a little like figuring out the Big10 pre-seeds. Is there an inordinate amount of weight given to pin falls as opposed to tech falls?? Consider the wrestlers who have not won the Hodge: Starocci ; Yanni ; Nolf; Ruth; Snyder; Cox; O'Toole; Pat Smith( before the Hodge??)

 

[Brian LB-U]

It feels like we’ve had 2 or 3 legit Hodge contenders every year for the past decade or more. I’m over getting worked up about it. I am very content with the team and individual titles.

 

[bdoncsecz]

even the Iowa fanboys can't make a reasonable argument for Mendez, davino or Ryan. Thus, they don't even try

 

[vhsalum]

And i would never. It makes no sense. Plus, us Iowa fans ain't tOSU fans.

That's absolutely stupid that tOSU swept all 3 awards. For God's sake, it's the BIG TEN awards. Coach who wins it should win it every year, unless some Purdue decides they want to make a run and end up team 2nd with like 4 champs or something.

I like Mendez, but he's the clear #3 best wrestler this year.

 

[Corby2]

AND NEXT YEAR THE TEAM WILL BE EVEN BETTER!!

And I pointed that out months ago as well

 

[Corby2]

Correction: Penn State is having an HISTORICAL RECORD BREAKING YEAR.

I think they break the record again I say 185. What other records were broken?

 

[PSU1997]

Ohio st has had a good year. Penn St always has good years . Stop crying over awards

Who would you have voted for in those three categories this year? Who do you think was the most deserving?

 

[Corby2]

Cael, Duke and Mendez. Mitchell has always been this dominant which hurts him actually. Mendez has jumped a level and is putting it on guys like he hasn't before so it's noticeable. Mitchell is just doing Mitchell things that we have seen for years so its not like wow look at Mitchell because it's nothing new.

But if I was a Penn st fan and won 12 or the last 14 team titles and we dominate everyone I wouldn't be crying about awards. You guys just sound like a bunch of babies you win everything but now we gotta have all the awards to. You know who doesn't care Cael, Duke and Mitchell

How big did Mendez put it to Brock Hardy on Sunday? Oh, that's right...7-2!

Again...

Live look in at Corby the great prognosticator:

Cael definitely cares. We finally saw a crack in the facade with his comments on the Hodge.

No way should Mendez win Big Ten WOTY. He's the 3rd best guy in the conference.

Not everyone can be an ex iowa wrestler like yourself so if you say so

Yeah, yeah. I'm still right.

It's not an award off of 1 match . Now respond like a 12 years old again

Same here, I literally do not care about the Hodge. Personally I think the finalists should wrestle off for the trophy lolol. Let's see if Mendez can beat Mitch or Barr? Oh course I doubt Starocci beats Hendrickson.
