BTC 70 Report post Posted March 21 Penn St guys seem to go out there as relaxed as they can be. Never afraid of the big moments. I'm not even a PSU fan but damn theyre always ready and never scared. 4 TBar1977, dwkeller, TheOhioState and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadMardigain 1,362 Report post Posted March 21 4 titles with no team title must be a record. With some supporting roles next season and Iowa will feel the pressure. 1 cjc007 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingnerd 2,779 Report post Posted March 21 Would you rather win the title and have a champ or come second and have four? I thought fir sure the former, but watching this, I’ll take the latter. Absolutely unbelievable job by PSU coaches. Hat off to them. This is more impressive than the other time they had four during Hall’a freshman year. 7 1 AZ_wrestling, stp, Yellow_Medal and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SVN says, “Hello.”I wonder if they will bump Eierman up to 149 and suck Marin back down. Because while Eierman-Lee will always be a good one, SVN is going to wreck Murin.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also remember 2009 when Metcalf lost to Caldwell? Iowa won the team title with no Champs and it imo it almost felt like a consolation prize.

boconnell 1,508 Report post Posted March 21 I believe RBY, Lee, Starocci, and Brooks are happier with their title then with a team title and a loss. I also buy that Iowa fans are depressed right now. Their coronation night is ruined. But PSU fans declaring they'd rather lose and win individual titles is just trying to polish a turd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well each team hangs their hat on what fits your narrative. Team title or multiple individual titles, each group will make their point.

Kem has a chance next year. If he didnt I would be upset. Starochi made some adjustments and it was impressive. I think Kem will find a way to get to the legs next year. I also think Iowa gets more AAs next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you were RBY, Lee, Starocci, or Brooks' parent would you rather your kid lose in the finals and the team win the team title? Or the inverse? Which would you be happier with?

We aren't trying to convince you of anything other than we are happy with the way our guys wrestled. This is a reload year with 6 freshman. This team wrestled farking great. That is a joy to watch. Their future is as bright as ever. They'll come back and win this next year. Book it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats on a magical night and I hope you lose all of your matches next year. 1 Bigboi Trained reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
