New to this forum stuff,I suppose that means this has been humored previously. Good one anyway. Senior citizen,disabled vet.,Not tech savvy at all.Lucky for the neighbor kids or I Wouldn't be able to do this.
First and foremost, thanks for your service. Hopefully, the neighbor kids will keep you engaged throughout the season.
The cruiseliner joke is an old one. I won't go into it, because I wouldn't do it justice, but rumors are swirling that Nick Suriano is on his way back to State College for his final year. Personally, I take all of these things with a grain of salt, until they actually happen, but we'll see.
Also a Vet. Thanks for serving! I hope that you are still kickin it hard. This is my first time on this site as it appears that our age old site is migrating here. Don’t worry about a thing. After a day or two it will be easier than cleaning your rifle. I’ve lurked on the old board for years and occasionally post. It’s a good natured group and they can’t be beat for wrestling knowledge and witticisms. After a few months you will gain knowledge of the inside jokes. All in all, if you want to know what’s going on with PSU wrestling and/or need advise on how to understand the motives of opposing teams ….. this here be the place!
I'll do the joke justice.
Way back when, liquored-up idiot Rutgers fan RUCreedo posted on their Rivals board that an unspecified PSU wrestler would transfer to Rutgers -- big enough name to "make Cael poop a sh**liner." People thought it was Cenzo, who publicly refuted it. Creedo then changed his story several times, basically it became anyone with a vaguely Italian sounding name or ever paid a New Jersey toll.
All of this was in the offseason before Suriano enrolled at PSU. Obviously Creedo's transfer "rumor" never happened. But why let a joke go to waste? Rutgers incoming transfers (rumored or fact) became known as the cruiseliner.
Suriano transferred 1 yr later. Unsurprisingly Creedo took credit for it. Suriano got pegged as "Cruiseliner Nick." And the cruiseliner joke took on new life.
You do it so much better.
My question is whether "liquored up" is a short-term or long-term situation for Credo, or maybe it doesn't have anything to do with liquor, at all.
No idea but when I first typed "idiot Rutgers fan," it reminded me way too much of the famous Peyton Manning interview (apologies for the sound quality):
Been hearing he is already back training with the NLWC. Be huge for the good guys. Possibly enrolling for January semester.
Sorry to hit you with an inside joke there—welcome to this new place.
How could this new site get kicked off without a good Cruiseliner thread!!! I love you guys!! (and gals)
Yikes, at first I thought Grip from tHR made his way over here
Thanks for your service. Welcome to the board. Lots of inside stuff here so if you don't get something, just ask. You will get your balls busted, but it will all be in good fun.
For example, James, if the board didn’t know you were a senior citizen or vet (thank you for your service), they would think you’re making a Nick Lee 141/149 joke or perhaps a joke about Joe Lee’s performance at 165 last year (which was widely panned on the old board, but the kid will be just fine), or they’d be “busting your balls” (as the kids say). There’s a chance Joe could make 125, but he’d probably have to cut his hair real short, along with an arm and maybe a leg.
There will be 100 more threads about 125 within the next 2 weeks and then another 10,000 after that. (There have already been 1,2345321,234.2321.) Seems to be that Robbie Howard will be nursing his shoulder this year and taking a redshirt and true freshman Gary Steen may be our best hope for points from 125 until…until…could Cruiseliner Nick really return in January? Cael is surprisingly tight-lipped about it. Baylor Shunk is a tough kid but unlikely to score points, and Marco Vespa has been on and off the roster the last 5 years and remains a true freshman (grayshirt, oly redshirt, redshirt, blueshirt, covid free year, t-shirt). I hear Marco is beating Nicky in the room.
Bo Bassett is going to skip over 8th Grade / HS and just head straight to PSU
Looks like Campbell, Meredith, and Shunk are all throwing their hats in the ring for 125 this year. At a minimum for 1st semester, I'd guess.
If the cruiseliner lands, we'll have a different 125 for the postseason. If not, Steen may or may not progress to the point where he is a candidate as well.

I don't think we have a backup 285 on the roster right now. We'd likely throw Hoopes to the wolves like we did last time if we can't get Seth back as an emergency 285 (highly doubtful since the kid is all in on football now and even weighs 300+)
Mineo posted on FB that there is an issue with sponsorship money paid to Nick while wrestling Internationally or for run up to Trials. He may have to repay that money prior to signing with PSU and setting up NIL deals while at PSU. Again, this is from Mine, not me.
Interesting. If WWE and its $$$ don't impact a folkstyle wrestler, why should international freestyle $$$ be treated differently?
I could see an issue if the sponsor is a competitor of the university's sponsor, the prior agreement remains in effect, and it doesn't allow repayment or voiding the relationship.

I'd presume that Suriano's money came before NIL was legal.
Allegedly Drew Hildebrandt might be our 125 next year also lol
and then get his sister to wrestle for the nlwc and perhaps some coaching!
Took fourth as a fifth year senior last year. Assume he graduated but because of COVID “free year” he would still have a year of eligibility. Honestly, I like this way better than Nicky Push-ups. Maybe not the same caliber wrestler at Nicky a push ups…but far less baggage.
"Baggage," LOL. Cael wants him back. He apparently wants to return. He had no issues interacting with the team when recently in the room.
That leaves the fans.
