Jimmy Cinnabon 411 Report post Posted March 8, 2021 A 28 year old 7th year senior definitely has the experience/strength edge over a 19 year old redshirt freshman. Man vs boy. It's gonna be a fun NCAAs in a few weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a strawman PSU fans are running with to make themselves feel better. Its the same as bragging about how all the Iowa guys are from PA.... it comes from a place of insecurity and jealousy.

"refusing to grow up" Yeah those two years in Africa were exactly like being in college and training with the team. Incidentally, I'd argue that spending two years in Africa doing mission work is growing up a whole lot more than anyone in college. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok. Argue that. I disagree and dont know why the PSU guys criticize Kemmerer who had an injury and a season ended by a global pandemic, but think its totally fine that Matt Brown was in school at an older age when that was the plan the entire time. 1 jchapman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well for one, he isn't doing any training in Africa. Outside of rudimentary staying in shape. And for growing up... I guess if living in a third world country does for maturation, then I guess there's no discussion to be had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is older than the 18 year olds. Maturation is what they are arguing is the problem. You are taking my side on this without even realizing it.

jp157 514 Report post Posted March 8, 2021 It’s amazing watching people talk about this topic. Especially because.. 1. This is what the current environment and culture of youth wrestling encourages and people are deliberately obtuse to how this is. 2. A lot of the comments have the same time as the bitter hs football player “like I totally coulda.. if I had that” OR. “Haha I can’t wait for the real world to get you because that lets me feel superior” 3. Other comments that are Penn State fans hypocritically hyping up the age thing and acting like athletes taking full advantage of their limited window to achieve athletically is bad. but are perfectly okay with the fact that many of their best athletes were held back in high school.. literally moved all over the country just to join wrestling teams and calculated their ages to be the max age they could be to graduate.. The most hilarious part.. most of these athletes will be fine. They get coaching jobs or jobs with their degree.. and y’all will still overpay for their clinics and instructionals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
