I still haven't stopped crying.

I feel ya. Felt the same way after 174 last year.

One of the best inside trips in NCAA history.

Coming into the season I was curious too see how Joseph's overhooks would matchup with Imart's underhook and after the dual and Big10's I thought Imart was decently ahead of Joseph despite the close scores.

Joseph seemed to have so much more confidence in the Finals like someone flipped a switch in his brain.

 

[Te Huna Matata]

How he not only hit the trip but then jumped over mid-fall to land on the side was really gorgeous. Even Fix watched that one in awe.

I lived Hall's interview after the semis where he said "Hopefully my mom will stop telling me to cut to 165 now" lol

Wrestling mom's are fucking nuts

Me: What's for dinner?
Mom: What did you weigh after practice? You have a meet tomorrow.

This happened more than I'd care to admit. I was texting back and forth with her through the whole tournament. I think she only missed one session.

I'm laughing at this. My youngest is 11 now and has wrestled since he was 5......his mom is on top of his eating during wrestling season.

Wrestling mom's will be all nice and sweet....until their kid is on the mat. Then they turn into some tyrant.

Didn't he hit an inside trip to win in the quarters and semis, or am I imagining things?

Yup, aND he really had to power through both of them

And Teasdale flips to Penn State

And Teasdale flips to Penn State

Just came here to post this. Who else did they have coming in around this weight?

I'd there an odd man out?

 

[youngsteinel]

Penn State has #2, #3, #4 recruits in the class in Teasdale, Whitlake, and Bravo-Young. Sheesh man.

People ask me to explain what wrestling moms are.. I tell them to imagine the most intense soccer mom or dance/cheerleader Mom.. and that wrestling mom's would eat them for breakfast

Rumors are swirling about RBY not going to Penn State now too though. All things equal, give me Teasdale.

I am in the background when Martinez goes to his back. I won't say where though hahahahaha

Absolutely. Especially if they think their kid got a bad call on the mat.

 

[Te Huna Matata]

Just something interesting that I read but rumors are swirling that Teasdale is second guessing his Iowa commitment. I'm guessing he finally came to terms with the fact that he's a small person and won't be a 133/141lber in college.

Santoro interviewing for Pitt tomorrow.

If Lehigh let's him walk they are really going to forget it. I think Santoro was more responsible for the programs success during the Stroebel years than Stroebel was.
