[WPIALBrwnPSU]

Meh. 51-0 over a field hockey school.

Mcpat, thanks for the laugh!

Also, from what I can find, Oklahoma State holds the record for most dual meet shutouts in a season with nine [Correction: it was actually ten-see below] when they went 22-0 in the 1982-1983 season, which is a 41% [corrected to 45%] shutout rate. Penn State currently sits at five shoutouts with a realistic chance to add three more this season against Indiana, Maryland and Princeton. If Penn State gets shutouts in seven or eight of their 15 duals this season that would best Oklahoma State's season. Also, given the dominance of Penn State's non-shutout dual victories this season, there is a very good chance Penn State ends this season as having the most dominant dual meet season of any D1 wrestling program ever. Here is a breakdown of Oklahoma State's '82-'83 dual meet season:

41-3 over Central Oklahoma Correction: The score was actually 41-0.
27-9 over Nebraska
34-6 over Cal Poly
30-8 over Cal State Bakersfield
32-6 over Arizona State
22-14 over Oklahoma
27-23 over Iowa
44-0 over Illinois
46-0 over Northern Illinois
51-0 over Drake
41-0 over Kentucky
46-0 over New Mexico
38-4 over Michigan State
48-0 over BYU
46 to -1 over Indiana state
34-9 over BYU
38-0 over Utah State
43-3 over Wisconsin
23-14 over Iowa State
18-14 over LSU
47-0 over Missouri
21-17 over Oklahoma

I went back in and corrected my earlier mistake. I also spent some time tonight researching the dual meet season records for Oklahoma State and Iowa going back to the 1950s. I am confident in saying that if Penn State wins the remainder of their duals this season theirs will have been the most dominant D1 dual meet season ever.

Wasn't there a fencing team that had a ridiculous streak.

[Misalorales]

What ? Who was taken down ?

Someone already said it I'm sure but Welsh got taken down once. That Perez had a really nice quick shot and finish that caught Rocco off guard

 

[Misalorales]

I think Fishback will have something to say about who are the top 4 seeds

I think fishback is a clear a 5th man in that group but we will see by the end of February.

 

[WaffleShopper]

Except Wooden was probably the biggest cheater in NCAA history outside of SMU

Interesting how many of the “greatest”coaches of all time were also innovative cheaters: Wooden, Bryant, Rockne (faking injuries), Belichick, Calipari, Saban

I would take Jaxon Smith to place above Fishback.

Gable. Nobody has ever cheated like Cael according to the stable citizens of Hawkeye land.

I am sure he admired the toughness Clark needed to get that championship.

And then of course, the “Toss me! TOSS Me!!”

You mean the GIpper wasn't really laid up in hospital???!!! Wow! Just wow. I'm shook.

 

[BWFight]

Don't think Fishback is a top 4 guy.

His name itself suggests otherwise. 🥹

Black shirt.

Forget the black shirt, he has earned their 2018 warmup robe.

It’s not a sport. It’s a scam, likely.

…with Terry quickly getting up with a fake surprised look. Straight out of the WWE.

Gotta admit, the TNT bros would be a very entertaining tag team duo. Wonder if the WWE could start up a senior division.

I saw more than a few lines with people saying LL had a close match!LOL

Daryl Waltrip said maybe the greatest line about bending the rules.
"If you aren't cheating you aren't trying."

Pyles said on FRL today that Smith is out for year

That sucks. I thought he would be back. He hasn't wrestled since November. Hopefully Clemson doesn't kick him off the team.

Another factor is tournaments. Some schools might be able to trot out a bigger mat for duals but not have space for 4-6 big mats.

If you watched yesterday’s match at Northwestern you saw their normal dual meet configuration with a single mat centered in the middle of their basketball court, allowing for the lower bleachers to be extended. Below is a photo from last year’s B1G10 Championships in the same arena. To accommodate the necessary mats they had to retract the lower seats. Welsh-Ryan is a terrific arena but, to make the tourney work NW had to squeeze everything in. If they had larger mats they never could have made it work.

 

[shotofespresso]

I get a velociraptor vibe with Marcus. Bent ultra-low to the ground, stalking, arms close, ever poised to defend or strike, the latter with lightning speed and violence.

I always thought he reminded me of a Praying Mantis but Raptor works

Sounds like a likely scam

Edit: Dogwelder beat me to it…

 

[PSUbluTX]

which is actually amazing because Starocci nor Ferrari could take him down.

Meh. You handle a fish differently than you handle a bear. A fish can be annoyingly slippery but will inevitably die in your hands. With a bear you know you’re never safe until one of you escapes the forest.
