And the legend grows
Yeah, in some ways he’s becoming my favorite PSU wrestler ever.

I have a bobble head collection in my office that I just need Mitch M to complete. I would be ecstatic if they ever did a Scooter bobble head even if he never comes close to winning a NC. I’ll put him right in between Zain and Bo next to Cenzo.

I have a feeling he will find his way on the podium again.

He reminds me of a kid I coached. Drove me absolutely nuts and then he was the one I missed the most. More memories to come I’m sure haha

Hope he gives up the scooter.
Definitely. Needs to upgrade.

He started shaking his hand when he was up 7-2 in the second then took the medical TO, and the match really turned at that point. I rewound and rewatched that part about a thousand times to try to figure out what happened. Did he jam his wrist? Dislocate a finger? I did see anything at all, but it seemed to be affecting him because he lost all of the aggression of the first period and the match turned on a dime from there. Now it makes more sense, at least as much as this absurd situation can possibly make any sense.

I agree, good and bad, this dude is a legend. I just wish he would have finished off that match. He could easily be an all-time crowd favorite with a couple results like that would have been.

So while we were speculating jamming his thumb or wrist, or just plain gassing, maybe he disrupted a healing burn when he landed out of bounds... very painful and took the starch out of him for a while.

The best I could come up with from the replay is that maybe he cut his finger on Hardy's headgear since they were taping it up, but that wasn't really a satisfying answer, either. Now we know.

Does bring unexpected but fun drama to the table each year. That blindsiding run to a B1G title. Last year’s surprise dual win over Bouzakis and gritty 5th place AA. Turns bad boy in the offseason to scuffle with cops. Gets ticked by Hardy’s double-tap. Of course, the legendary man-vs-machine disagreements with, well, you know.
Always liked his quirky style, even as it draws him in and out of trouble. On a team of studs, he’s the scrappy, tenacious underdog. May he be underestimated all the way to another AA finish in March.

Don't forget his must see interview question responses. The kid is definitely not boring on or off the mat.

Scooter, scooter, scooter they shouted as he walked onto the wrestling mat
Funny how nicknames stick too. He will probably be called Scooter for the rest of his life. My grandfather was skinny as a kid and one of his friends called him "Birdlegs" in jest. He was known to everyone as "Birdie" until the day he died! Even the family called him that. I was probably eight when I first heard his real first name when my grandmother was miffed at him, LOL. He even had it on his business cards that way.

As a rider of an e-scooter, I have to point out the issue here, because it isn’t widely known:

Lithium based batteries generally perform quite poorly in the cold. But if the battery has been out in the cold, you should never plug it in before it warms up. You’re asking for a problem. eCars have heaters for their batteries for this reason. Also, not every scooter, battery or charging cord is made with the same QC. You tend to get what you pay for.

Actually, there are a lot worse nicknames out there!
