Jax wrestling 2nd semester

[98lberEating2Lunches]

12 actually and yes I know that without looking. And this year Penn St had 15 of the 30 world team spots at u20, U23 and SR this year I believe. The point was it's the way the fans act that causes the nation to hate on a team not the staff or the results on the mat.

Then again, I've read some just plain hate Carl regardless of a few fans' attitudes.

its way early and its not like Ryder was blown out. He was in some close matches with some national contenders right out the gate! Ryder will continue to get better... and i would still not be shocked if he found a way to AA this season!

He lost 3 of 4 matches and had a grand total of zero takedowns for the weekend. What exactly does it take to sound alarm bells?

Would love to see him take on Mendez.

That would be great to see

Been around awhile and I don't know to many people who hate Cael. Some hate dynasties.Carl did make me laugh but I'm not gonna call him that

That would be great to see

We will see it at 65kg in 2028 I have a feeling. Mendez , Jax , Woods ,Henson, Bassett, Blaze and Valencia

I really hope we get to see Jax vs Blaze on the big stage at NCAA’s. Such a great matchup of styles. Jax thrives on creating chaos and scrambles and Marcus is one of the best at not allowing that to happen. Jax had definitely jumped levels this past year. That said, Blaze is so damn hard to score on. I haven’t seen anyone with his baseline defense at his age. I’m obviously biased but I just think elite defense usually wins out in these matchups. The DT vs Dake matches are a prime example. I really do love Jax though. Out of every guy that has went somewhere else Jax is the one that I really wish had come to PSU. I hope we get 4 years of this matchup but I see Jax moving up soon.

I will tell you this, next year (26/27) we lose Levi and gain Ono. We will be a terror once again.

However (27/28)? It's on, and anyone who doesn't think so is smoking something.

Oky State is loaded with elite top 4 or above guys, in particular:

Vega
Jax
Robideau
Lockett

Ross (maybe)

I am not sure I would put the Raneys, and Merrill quite at at that level. AA probably!

I think I'll leave 184 off the list. I have leaned my lesson.

Yeah but we have Cael enough said

Ono just lurking out there waiting to **** some ************* up - with a smile on his face

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the results that causes the hate. Nobody hates a loser. 99% of fans don't know squat about another team's fanbase. I hated Nebraska of the 70s - 90s solely because of their success. But their fans were among the most civil and welcoming out there, and there was truly nothing to hate about coach Osborne. And I hated Miami during their heyday of the 80s because they were arrogant winners. It's the same with folks who hated Duke basketball -- it's damn near impossible to hate on Coach K (unless you already hate the program), but their success was maddening for non-fans.

There may be some Penn State wrestling fans who act cocky and superior, and that certainly doesn't help with outsiders' perception of us, but it's still the nonstop, overwhelming success that causes other fans to hate on PSU.
