Congrats to the young couple. I wonder if Haley's middle name is Maddie? : )
wouldn’t call it the fairest, sounds like the same as most outside of PSU affiliates. More speculation, more personal takes on opinion. No facts just talk for clicks.
They also sound like most outside PSU, hoping for the downfall of PSU. Brands running tight ship, culture problem at PSU, okie st good. Hopefully truth comes out one way or another.
Bright side of things is he's probably going to have more time for a honeymoon??
Anyone care to condense this? Even on a lazy offseason summer day 1+ hours for a podcast is not gonna happen.
Great news for Aaron and his fiance. Love the scripture quote
I can't listen to 5 minutes of those guys, let alone an hour.Anyone care to condense this? Even on a lazy offseason summer day 1+ hours for a podcast is not gonna happen.
My brother loves those guys, but he has always been the member of our family who stuck his tongue on the frozen swingset post and laughed hysterically at the yellow snow when it was a snow day. He'd play The Streak a hundred times in a row on the family stereo set and laugh just as hard the 100th time he heard it as he did the first.
He was also the best wrestler of the family - which tracks.
I tried twice and I couldn't get past 10 min both times. Many people like them which is awesome. The more wrestling content the better it's just not my speed
Go to the admin section of the video and listen at 1.75 (or 1.5 if its too fast for you) and you can listen to these videos in a fraction of the time.
These guys are covering most of the same talking points of the video you said was too long. Maybe this will be quicker for you:Anyone care to condense this? Even on a lazy offseason summer day 1+ hours for a podcast is not gonna happen.
For those who would like to know what Matt Brown has been up to since he graduated from Penn State:

Hayden is going to Greece to the International Olympic Academy. Pretty cool opportunity.

Studying abroad is an excellent use of time & money. Was so expansive to a young me, glad to see young Cunningham take advantage of the oppty.
I wonder how many countries Coach Casey has been to?
Well, since it's paid for, it's an even more excellent use of money! And as for time, hey, learning to drink ouzo is an excellent skill that will assist him on his life's journey! (Strain it through ice before consuming). Just watch out for all those Crimson's trying to porch our quality student-athletes!!
There’s been some discourse recently on Twitter about who’d win in a fight: 100 US men vs 100 British men (the new 1 gorilla vs 100 men debate). Well, that devolved into someone pointing out that during the Paris Olympics the local government had to publicly ask the American tourists to stop beating up the pickpockets. Lord only knows what would happen if a pickpocket got the bright idea to ply their trade on Hayden and got caught… I have a feeling it’d involve two words: Air. Time.

I'm selfishly sad that Jason has retired from wrestling. I wonder if Dake had not been in his way to make the Olympic team in 2024 if Jason would have continued with his career? Jason was an absolute joy to watch compete. I guess I can dream as it would be great to see Jason compete internationally again. He is only 29 after all. No matter what he chooses going forward, I wish he and Maddie the best.
A good time for an AI summary—thanks google:
This video explains the history of the "beef" between wrestlers Bo Nickal and David Taylor, which dates back to 2019 (1:19).
• Origin of the Beef (2:00-6:00): In 2018, David Taylor won a world title, granting him a "buy" directly to Final X for 2019. This meant he didn't have to compete in earlier trials. However, Taylor got injured in 2019 and couldn't wrestle in Final X, ultimately having knee surgery (2:31). Bo Nickal, fresh off a successful NCAA career and planning to wrestle at 92 kg (a non-Olympic weight), was unaware of Taylor's injury status. When Taylor pulled out of Final X, the winner of the 86 kg World Team Trials (Pat Downey) was then on the team (4:47). The friction arose because Nickal would have been a strong favorite at 86 kg, and he felt that if he had known about Taylor's withdrawal, he would have wrestled at that weight class (5:20). The video suggests Taylor intentionally withheld this information to prevent Nickal from making the team and gaining an advantage for the Olympic trials (5:40).
• Wrestling Philosophy (7:00-8:00): The video discusses the two perspectives on this situation: the "teammate dynamic" (7:06) where Penn State wrestlers are supposed to stick together, versus the "real world" (7:12) of individual international wrestling where only one person can represent the USA. David Taylor's decision was based on the latter, prioritizing his individual Olympic goal (8:27).
• Aftermath (9:05): Due to COVID-19, the Olympic trials were delayed. Ultimately, Bo Nickal and David Taylor did wrestle in the Olympic trials finals, with David Taylor winning (9:14). Taylor went on to win the Olympics months later (9:25).
• Current Dynamic (9:30): Bo Nickal believes he would win a match against David Taylor now, citing his continuous training (9:35). However, the video highlights David Taylor's recent accomplishments, including making the team at 92 kg and winning elite matches, suggesting Taylor would still be favored (9:59). The video also mentions the ongoing "media barbs" between Penn State and Oklahoma State wrestling, with Nickal's podcast "Nickels and Dimes" making some pointed comments about Oklahoma State's recruitment practices (11:01).
