2025 NCAA Tournament

If very bad is 10 AAs with all still wrestling tomorrow, I hope every tournament is this bad.
I mean, compared to what we all thought would happen. I mean, usually PSU is hitting on all cylinders by now. Maybe, it’s unfair to compare them to last year or the projections everyone was saying they would do this year. They were supposed to break last years record.

It is unusual for you to lose 4 in the semi's and only have 2 finalists. But 10 All Americans is rare. I would not call your tournament very bad, but I might call it disgusting. I will probably have to take that back soon.

3 finalists. But yes, normally Penn State does better in the semis. Congrats to the Pokes for also getting 3 finalists!
 
By the way, I said it was a bad “DAY”, not a bad tournament. Iowa is having a not so good tournament as a whole. They still will have a pretty good showing tomorrow though.

You said "very bad" but I still really wouldn't even call it a bad day. Sure, I expected more finalists but to have all 10 still going is pretty crazy. (They still can break the scoring record but I don't care about that.)

PSU 135.5 (3 finalists)
Nebraska 101.5 (2 finalists)
OSU 91 (3 finalists)
Iowa 73.5 (3 finalists)
Nebraska has 3 finalists, 141, 149, and the got the upset to make finals at 157, where are favorite because upset on other side. They are underdog in other 2 ( I know hardy is the higher seed but Mendez is the defending champ). But they Have a good chance to win each match. Don’t they win all three but could because they don’t have a Gable or Messenbrink type in their finals.

it is relative. I stick by what I said. I was astonished to see them get upset as many times as they have, including yesterday. It is crazy to say, they still will win a championship.

Can we all agree that the David Taylor experiment was a failure?

Congrats on a good tournament so far. Nebby is leaking some oil and you still have a good shot at 2nd. Make your own magic.
lol. True. Nebraska is peaking just at the right time. Hopefully, their peak was yesterday and ours is tomorrow. We’ve had a really good tournament and PSU had pretty much a typical PSU tournament, until yesterday, and those that stumbled yesterday, won’t stumble on the backside.
I hope I’m wrong, but Nebraska will be hard to catch. I really like the guys on their team, Hardy, Lovett, etc. Who can’t root for them, except if you’re the team competing against them.
I just read the article of Penn state and 10 AAs, crazy. Think if they didn’t have the upsets yesterday. Heaven help us all.
 
Couple of minor predictions.....1 - finals matches will start at 197 because Starocci is going for his 5th and 2 - Wyatt will salute the president before his match.

That would be cool, remember Gable is left wing radical. It's gonna be like Rocky vs. Dolph Lundgren, Wyatt should come out to 'Living in America"
