The meaningful tournament is called NCAA's.. They wrestle that in March.
Penn State - Oklahoma Match Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Potential, but quite uncertain. His decision to allow wrestlers to his legs in neutral is tough to see. When it’s against a wrestler you might not see again this year, it’s scary. The top in this class will finish those.
You can get a concussion with any blow to the head, not just on the top or side of the head. You can certainly get a concussion from a blow to the chin.You can even get a concussion without a direct blow at all, the only thing that has to happen is a sudden start or stop of the head motion. The brain will still bounce off the inside of the skull, which is what causes the concussion. That's why you can get a concussion from a whiplash type injury where the head motion is limited by the neck reaching its limit.
For that matter you can get a concussion falling on your *** and the shock going up your spine.
You’d think some coaches would say “wow, this might be less embarrassing with our full lineup” I guess it’s a nice built in excuse
That was a barn burner. 5 techfalls, 2 major decisions, 2 decisions & a sweet comeback pin by old reliable Levi. That's a great start to the season! Plus, we still have PJ & Barr to add into the lineup. This is going to be another fun year watching PSU wrestling domination!
Not full lineup is an understatement. Oklahoma left 6 starters on the bench. While it might not have changed the outcome, it certainly made this match non-competitive. I guess they needed to be ready for Bucknell.
Feel like Ryan should be on X right now: Oklahoma is not growing the sport trotting out that lineup.
Folks complaining about our schedule? Is this for real? Lmao.
Takedowns were 35-1. All escapes besides at 141 Nagao gave up a takedown and a reversal
I could not watch this, but was listening to Byers. How did Rocco look?
Oooh - it’s already on YouTube.
Rocco looked quick

I swear Rocco moves and wrestles ALOT like Carter. If you ignore skin tone, he looks like his twin as he stalks his opponent and cuts off the opponent’s escape routes. Maybe not surprising as I’m sure they work out a lot together
Good choice. It isn't work if you make a career of something you love doing. ;-)
Ok, I’ll ask. What’s with Cael and Marcus? First he made the PC comment about best ever, then in post match PC was saying he couldn’t believe he was sitting with Marcus Blaze. Was tonight’s comment an attempt to loosen him up? Is Blaze known not to laugh, average, or total opposite?
Rocco actually was the closest to beating Carter a few years ago. That match could have gone 19 minutes and would still be 2-0
The action looks out of control, but his facial expression says he’s IN control!
Marcus is a really serious kid from what I’ve seen. Cael’s probably trying to make him laugh. I think having him and Ono rooming together is a master stroke. Ono’s good nature could make anyone lighten up.
When Levi went down I nearly shat myself. I was watching on my phone and missed the chin contact and at first thought it was a leg. I was really worried.
Once he went into concussion protocol, was it wrong to start thinking, oh well there goes the Hodge? A medical forfeit would knock him out of consideration, or might it not if he ended the season with the highest bonus? Thoughts?
Levi vs Mitch will provide their own entertaining battle all year on this front, but it pretty friggin impossible to keep up with Mitch. I loved the fact that it seems back points are on MM's A list. My money is on Levi in terms of total pins though. I'll take the over if the number is 10.

I had the exact same experience. I looked away and missed it and immediately thought non contact knee injury. Very thankful it wasn't anything substantial
It might also be Cael's way of encouraging Marcus after his DNP at U23. In the team photo Marcus' disappointment was evident.
That was very insightful. Thanks
Your post is rather pointless.
PSU wrestlers get the highest level of competition in their wrestling room. The goal is to win national championships. Until such point that Cael fails to win a NC, you can STFU.

I'm imagining very little work is required until "swing low, sweet chariot". It's not like perky 20 somethings need much medical attention.
I expected no less; and neither would you had you read my technical analysis of Luke:

Agreed. He looks stronger/tougher too after watching a lot of his high school videos; which were less than a year ago.
Of course, he is going to galvanize his skill set and get stronger in the PSU room, but I just didn't think he would jump this high so early.
Do you think Ono and Blaze have fun at practice?

Tom- Do the PSU wrestlers get a national championship ring for a team championship?
Also, do individual PSU wrestlers that win a national championship get a ring?
Lastly, are the silver and gold medals the wrestlers in at NCAA;s made out of solid gold and silver?
If anyone else knows, feel free to chime in. Thanks.
