Most Physical Wrestlers in the State..?
wrestlenewbie replied to Tom walker's topic in Past Discussions
I was reading some threads on the PSU board. Those guys that post there can be a little (a lot) harsh and even they recognized Brey's guts. He came to wrestle. Odds were hugely stacked against him, but he didn't back down. -
nice article, cgi369. the concensus on the psu board agreed with coach ersland, purdue came to wrestle. in some of the psu duels it seems that the opponent is trying to avoid embarrassment rather than trying to win. both the purdue and the indiana kids were wrestling to win. it bodes well for the future of those two programs.

Most Physical Wrestlers in the State..?
wrestlenewbie replied to Tom walker's topic in Past Discussions
physical and high scoring? you can have both. ask anyone who has wrestled mr. nolf if he is one, the other, or both. -
great summary
-
Love the smiles on their faces with those medals. Congrats to your boys.
-
Let us know how your sons do at state this weekend. I wholeheartedly support as much bragging as a man can do about his sons.
-
Love this two sentence sequence. Which is it? Don't have top brag or brag?

Leftenant, why are you hating on Chad? You really think his expectations are to have a losing season against D1 comp the year after he AA'd? You think he expected to be sent to the Doane Open with the Nebraska scrubs to wrestle a kid from Northwest Kansas Technical College half a season after taking 7th? You must not think much of Chad if you think he expected this. Quit being so hard on the kid.
-
Nick has an 88.2% bonus rate and scored 10 in his only lose, but yeah, no offense.

Hypocrisy. We all talked about that high school final like it was the match of the century. Bankers Life was packed to the gills and the roof nearly came off the place (two matches later when Joe Lee won by pin you could hear a pin drop). Christian Pyles on Flowrestling called it probably the greatest high school final ever. There were almost three years of "will they meet? Oh, please I hope they meet. My life will be complete if they meet." Beforehand. And then, when Chad treats it like it was the match of the century and celebrates like a kid (he was a kid after all). The adults all say "how dare he? I'm shocked, shocked I say. He is giving me the vapors." I said it then, I will say it again. Who cares how he celebrates? Four years undefeated? Finishing with a win over a nationally acclaimed opponent? Have at it.

https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6316846-youre-going-to-want-to-watch-nebraska-at-penn-state-on-sunday It's a few days old and it covers the whole lineup, but it is an interesting article that Flo has on the free side of the paywall.

Congrats Trizton Carson joins 100 win club!

You are wrong about one thing. Tooting a kids horn never gets tiring. Toot away. And congratulations to that young man. -
https://gopsusports.com/watch/?Archive=3945&sport=30&type=Archive Lionvision is audio only for this one. Probably part of the Flo contract. No free competition.
-
Sadly it is not on BTN. It is on Flo behind their paywall. The PSU website says it is on Lionvision (the PSU streaming service), but there is doubt that is accurate.

Lee, Lee, he's your man...

I just asked the google machine and it is almost exactly 200 miles from College Park to State College. Just short of a 4 hour drive. If money is not an issue for a D1 wrestling program I imagine they would fly rather than spend 4 hours on a bus. That said, I have no idea what the economics of D1 wrestling are. In Chicago, where we are expecting about half as much snow tonight, they started pre-cancelling flights last night. Hopefully Nebraska makes it there safely and we vicarious old men get our wish.

I posted a reply in the college thread.
-
Jayruss has a new thread in the high school forum, but I thought I would respect the college forum by posting here. Jayruss asks if Chad Red will be up for the dual. As SWINfan suggests, the real question is will Chad Red be up to the dual? Apparently the PA governor has declared a state of emergency due to the coming snow and has closed the interstate system to commercial traffic beginning at noon Saturday. Commercial traffic includes buses. So depending on the how and when of Nebraska's travel plans, these two athletes may not even get the chance. A real disappointment if it doesn't happen.

Does anyone know if this will be streamed/televised anywhere (ala MD vs PM dual)?
-
Neither guy has wrestled a strong schedule to date so hard to draw too many conclusions...wait, never mind, that is what these boards are for. While Chad has had some hard to explain loses given his past achievements, even his D1 wins have been underwhelming (2-1 over wrestlestats #219 ranked wrestler, 8-5 over #132). That said, recency bias does not allow you to overlook his last match which was a 3-2 decision over #24. Based on recent form though you would still have to favor Nick. Nick's best win is a pin of #14. On the year he is 9-0 with bonus points in all matches (2 pins, 4 TF, 3 MD). The PSU board also posted some interesting "career" stats. In approximately 1.25 years Nick is 11 all-time at PSU for TF (12), #6 for % of matches with bonus points (69.4%), and tied for #4 for number of MD in a season (12). They wrestle the matches for a reason, but based on current evidence Nick has to be a big favorite, especially with the match at PSU.

5 times. According to wrestlestats he is 13-5 on the season with 9 of the 13 coming at the Doane Open against D2, NAIA, and 2 year college competition (Northwest Kansas Technical College). I am pretty sure that he only wrestled 6 matches there though as some look like duplicates on wrestlestats. So his real record appears to be 10-5. With one of the teams at the Doane Open sending two reps in the weight class, 1 of those 6 wins was against the second string at D2, NAIA, etc.... So against D1 Chad stands at 4-5 on the season. Something just seems off. I hope he does find that magic again.
-
I have spent hours analyzing each wrestler, studying tape, applying machine learning and artificial intelligence on top of ELO and expert scoring methods and have concluded... Nah, none of that. Lee. Just Lee.
-
Give yourselves some credit. Junior team finished 8th. Cadets were 12th.
-
It has been 3 hours between a wrestler's round of 16 match and his quarterfinal match at Evansville. Add wrestle backs and they may not finish before the start of state next week. Brutal.
