Penn State is pretty good at wrestling.

In the b1g championship round last night, Penn State had wrestlers in eight of the 10 matches. Seven of Penn State’s wrestlers won. Seven individual champions. Penn State ran away with the team championship. It’s truly amazing what these guys are doing.

If you have visited their wrestling board lately, they realize it.
Some do. Some still think Cael is cheating, PSU wrestlers are on steroids, the NLWC pays all the wrestlers way more than everywhere else, even before it was legal, etc. etc. etc. And when they get really frustrated they bring up Sandusky. They are a really low intelligence bunch.

This could be the best wrestling team in collegiate history. And guess what, next year's team will be even better!

Improvements can be made. Maybe next year Penn State can get at least one of the Big Ten Coach of the Year, Big Ten Freshman of the Year, or Big Ten Wrestler of the year awards. Awards Ohio State swept this year. Step it up Cael.

For Iowa fans, look on the bright side. With all the PSU award fatigue, surely Brands must be the leading 'Big Ten Coach of the Year' candidate going into next season after this year's Tom Ryan DEI selection. Just keep the dual loss within 29ish and it's in the bag Tom.

My guess is that some of the PSU wrestlers potentially canceled each other out in voting for WOTY, though Messenbrink and Barr have won by bonus all year so it should be one of them.

The freshman and coach of the year are horrible decisions though

PJ is up there as the best freshman I've ever seen at PSU. He's got it all. The HR forum is calling him serial killer, PJSK has a good ring LOL.

A$$. BEATINGS. o_O a plenty in the b1g championship this past weekend at the BJC. Cael owns the campus and everyone on it. We are a rasslin’ school.


Maybe football should outspend #2 team in the country by 60% and 100% more than the #3 team.

Basketball is last in the B10 in spending

He and blaze and the young guys really need to work on staying on top and working his opponent and also escaping out from bottom quickly. A real problem that I see. When you can just let people up and take them down quickly in the tough matches, the basic fundamentals take over. You always see from more mature wrestlers. I hope we work on those fundamentals with freshmen and sophomore moving forward. Mitchell, Haines, guys who have won championships here have done these basics well.
Always work to get better because other teams like ok state are getting better.

Is that any different than the accusations brought against school with elite FB programs? Penn State is able to recruit the very best prospects into the best developmental program in the country. The result is dominance. No different than any other sport.

Yes and no. They are especially salty though. The jealousy is palpable.

And that is why some will believe that PSU wrestling is cheating in some way.
Perhaps, but why should PSU fans care what some random fan thinks? I surely don’t, and I’m confident that no PSU fan on this board does either.

They shouldn't. I am not aware of any evidence that indicates PSU is cheating.

You really are a dumdik. The reason that PSU wrestling can outspend both Ohio State and Iowa is that it takes in more than both of those programs combined, more than three times the revenue of either. As a result, PSU wrestling is less of a drain on its athletic department budget than either Iowa or OSU wrestling.

Wrestling has always been like this. Oklahoma State has 34 titles and Iowa 24. It's never really been uber competitive.
Glad we're "that team" but we're not cheating. Kids just want to wrestle for the best coach to develop.
It's also why I think wrestling is insanely boring. We all knew who won the title before the season began

And no one has ever said to me, “You’re a Penn State fan? Man, their wrestling team is really good.” Where I live, most people don’t even know who is good at wrestling.
