    Mesenbrink, from my eyes, is one of the most impressive freshman I’ve seen in a long time. For a weight like 65? Just an absolute points machine. The Nickal/Nolf reference is accurate. No one should bat an eye if he never loses another match in college.

Did you guys know in all four of his finals he has a combined total of zero takedowns? Just because he was getting teary eyed, doesn’t mean he deserves our sympathy.

    We definitely need to make the stalling calls easier for referees. Every stall call is just so subjective. I'd also like to see reversals get 3 points instead of 2. I'd think they are at least as hard as a takedown and should be rewarded.

    I came here to show my respect for a storied career. Just making it to the college level is a feat, let alone making it to the tournament and being a all-American. He gave it his all. I true fans of the sport will show him the respect he deserves. Good luck with the next level.

    That second stalling in the 2nd period was bs. I am glad D.C was announcing. They called him for stalling as he was shooting. So was the one at the beginning of the 3rd. Carr was working to ride. For those saying only one because he stalled, what match were you watching. Carr got two takedowns, and controlled him on top. ( I am a fan of good wrestling and Penn State, but those hating on Carr are off base) Two points Mitch should not have gotten for stalling. Oddly enough
    that last 30 seconds Carr did not get hit for stalling. That is when he was defending the takedown, but stalling would have been warranted. Great match. The was experience over youth.

    Pretty sure those insane stalling calls were from the same Ref, which with video review, made the call that Braeden Davis wasn't taken down by Vinny Kilkeary. Breakdown…Carr shot 3 times in the first and got 1 takedown. Mitchell only took 1 shot in the entire 1st period and that was with 1 second left in the 1st , plus he gave up a ton of ridding time. 2nd period Carr took 3 shots and got 1 takedown. Mitchell took 2 shots zero takedowns. Third period Mitchell took 4 shots with 1 takedown and Carr took 3 shots. Carr took more offensive attacks in the match than Mitchell. Love Ben but to say that the stalling call were justified or to defend them is insane and biased because its was his guy that benefited from them. Like I said love Ben and he left his mark on college wrestling and how guys today try to imitate his foot wrestling defense. Or actually Ben’s offense, the only guy that had success with shooting on Ben was Pendleton. . Very few people have made such an impact on how guys wrestle in college.

  • @d4c659

    Daton Fix is a great wrestler. No doubt one of the best to never win a title. That being said, he is also the most boring guy to watch, and his matches are almost always 20+ minutes long. Makes it really hard to root for a guy when all he does is run around, waste time, and win by the slimmest of margins all the time.

If you want to adjust the final NCAA team scores based on rule changes, Then go all the way back to the beginning of college wrestling and adjust every team score based on every rule change implemented since then.

    JD’s hate for PSU oozes….im certain ur off their Christmas card list. “Stall calls Rocco” Team Score”
    “Kasak points scored” “Ragging on Beau” “Ragging on Carter-Have fun dude” I would have some respect for JD on this show had he accomplished anything sports wise in life, but he’s getting paid to give an opinion on wrestling. And who wears a hat inside? Bad parenting 🤦‍♂️
    Jd, the term is NON COMMITTAL not UN COMMITTAL or its uncommitted
    In regard to the double challenge….the first review took 2 scoring opportunities away from one wrestler, Casey Cunningham then thru the brick and got points for Nagao, ALL BASED ON BAD INITIAL CALLS. Nagao was a bust transfer. I don’t think Nagao has a good baseline defense, he’s flat footed constantly, and puts himself in bad wrestling positions. I don’t think he can beat Lillendahl.
    The truest thing JD said was that Fix was consistent for most of his career….Correct, he’s lost in the finals 4 times.
    The most knowledgeable person on this show, clearly has the most wrestling expertise and knowledge….and he’s leaving. I’m not certain this group knows realizes the loss yet.
    Andonian had such a great tournament he got pinned the entire tournament. Bastida didn’t wrestle with a broken digit….Ronnie Lott cut his finger OFF so he wouldn’t miss the rest of the NFL season. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
    Jd, if u hate Penn State this year, imagine next years lineup.
    125 - Lillendahl
    133 - Davis
    141 - Beau
    149 - SVN
    157 - Mitchell
    165 - Levi
    174 - Facundo
    184 - Carter
    197 - Mirasola
    HWT Kerk
    In addition to the starters, imagine Kasak, Evans and Nagao sitting, and guys like Sealey, Rider, Barr, Cochran, other Mirasola fighting for spots amongst the other 20 teammates.
    In addition to the Penn State staff, the training centers close to Penn State - DT’s and Bo’s plus NLWC keep Penn State in the forefront.
    Aaron Brooks was OW….how don’t you know this. Aaron AFTER THE FINALS had 96 takedowns on the year and gave up zero.
    Little Rock’s coach was coach of the year.

      Momma taught me to NEVER wear a hat inside. Apparently it started long before me as Bear Bryant didn’t wear his hat inside against PSU in a bowl game because his Mother taught him that as a child. Apparently JD is still a child.

      Your hate for JD oozes.. you seem jealous of him so much to the extent you comment on what he's wearing. Elementary move.. get a life dude. NCAAs are over, PSU won.
