Martellotti has dropped out and Nick Fisher will wrestle in his place
Galen - January 1, 2012
huge bummer
A big chunk of my interest in this tourney was seeing how close Martelotti was to scoring for us in march
jtothep - January 1, 2012
Dito
But it seems he’ll wrestle in the next dual

RitterPSU - January 1, 2012
One more question...
You say this is before the bracket…but do the points count toward our team total?
RitterPSU - January 1, 2012
Yes
Nor really before the bracket but before the actual first round

Maybe.
Only if you win the following match.
If a loss follows, no points.
Pete the Streak - January 1, 2012
Do we have to name our 10 scorers before the tourney begins
Or can we take highest score in each weight?

Did you misplace an ‘a’ in your sig?
PSUGuru - January 1, 2012
Nope.
ReadingRambler - January 1, 2012
Lyrics vs. performance
I don’t think I ever heard him perform it without the ‘a’ in ‘this a way’
PSUGuru - January 1, 2012
Oh, duh, my fault.
Correction forthcoming.
ReadingRambler - January 1, 2012
Pick it, Moon.
ReadingRambler - January 1, 2012
Now I can
picture/hear Waylon singing about Joe. Have you though about a rewrite of the entire song?
PSUGuru - January 1, 2012
No.
That is one song I will not touch. It’s borderline sacred.
ReadingRambler - January 1, 2012
I can appreciate
that sentiment. However, alternate words are always rattling around my brain bucket while listening to any song…
PSUGuru - January 1, 2012
And
JVP as a mix/blend of the sacred and profane seems somehow appropos.
PSUGuru - January 1, 2012
This is awesome Galen
Thanks for all the updates.

Lol
Fried Cougar tastes like chicken.
Galen - January 1, 2012
I'm hoping our D serves up an extra-large portion.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
I feel somewhat confident in this game
I have no idea why but I just feel good about this game
Galen - January 1, 2012
I think that confidence is justified.
Hope Bolden has a great game. It would be nice to have another QB controversy to get us through the off-season, rather than discussing other events ad nauseum.

Link Attempt
To the trackwrestling Live Bracket. It’s got a ‘gateway’ page, so not sure if it’ll work, but the final land should be on a real simple page that has individual links to live brackets for each weight class.
My paste doesn’t work so well, so here is the Penn State Wrestlign Club page and it has a good link to it called ‘Live Brackets.’ Also has nice wrestler-by-wrestler summary of performances.

Not to derail this thread
but FoxSports is reporting Pats OC/QB coach Bill O’Brien is our next HC.
Here is a link: http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/Penn-State-Nittany-Lions-zero-in-on-Bill-OBrien-as-Joe-Paterno-replacement-010112
I tried to do a FanPost, but failed . . . .
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
If True
Our AD lied!
OlderBudweiser - January 1, 2012
It's on ESPN and I believe USA Today is where it started.
I’m not buying it. There’s no substance to it, just coincidences. If they’re going after a pro coach, there’s no rush to make this decision. The Pats season is heading into the playoff, and I doubt they’d make it official before their season is over.
Succss With Honor Always - January 1, 2012
But the Pats would also recognize the new HC needs to lock down
this recruiting year. No harm in announcing it now, esp. if O’Brien indicated to the seach committee he was keeping Scrap, LJ Sr., et al.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
The Pats aren't going to care about anyone or anything as long as they're in Super Bowl contention.
Succss With Honor Always - January 1, 2012
I think it's all BS
Galen - January 1, 2012
Was just going to say that
I will not believe anything, until i see it on tv in a press conference.
AriesGD - January 1, 2012
Time will tell.
I’m not totally believing, but I want us to get someone who will get us past the garbage. Scrap can do that, but his job will be tougher because of his long-time association with State.

she’ll be on sale!

Didn't think of that
Perhaps I can get a deal for her.

BMAN13 - January 1, 2012
Wind is out of the west, unfortunately.
I am just smelling the chicken houses right now.
That’s fine. We get city folk out here looking for places to live, and the smell is a great deterrent.

What did you see, NC?
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
I saw War Horse last night
All my friends were either working or with their women folk. I highly highly recommend it, was pehnomenal movie and beautifully done.

My oldest bro took his daughter to that one.
Also recommended.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
had to bribe a friend to go with me…honestly think it was more graphic than the Swedish one. but closer to the book than that one, IMO
Cari Greene - January 1, 2012
Oldest bro read book --
liked it.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
I liked all of them
unlike Kmart, I enjoyed the third one as well as the others, I literally was up half the night finishing because I couldn’t put it down during the last 100 pages or so. I think this one was the least favorite of all three, possibly because it is so graphic. I like the character of Lisbeth, she’s so badass—and Rooney Mara does an excellent job portraying her (not that Noomi Rapace wasn’t also good, but I think I like Mara better)
Cari Greene - January 1, 2012
They're on "to read' list, but
have a few others ahead of them.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
we enjoyed them
I am now hooked on another Swedish writer, Henning Mankell but am currently reading 5th Witness by Michael Connelly, which is really hard to put down. If you havent read his stuff, you should.
BMAN13 - January 1, 2012
how is Henning Mankell?
he has quite a few in the same series, right?
Cari Greene - January 1, 2012
I like his stuff but he starts by getting into a lot of character development and I think the translation gets funky sometimes but his stories have been really good. I have read the first two Wallender books, he is a police detective. I’m really learning my Baltic geography, too.
BMAN13 - January 1, 2012
do you have to read them in order without being lost?
like, could I just read the best one first and maybe skip around?
Cari Greene - January 1, 2012
The Wallender series, I would say yes
Its best, he did refer back to the first book, especially with establishing the main character, Kurt Wallender.
BMAN13 - January 1, 2012
Does he have a high-wire act, too?
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
I think that was Wallenda, LOL
Reading these books there are a lot of towns and people names that are bizzare. The last book I read had the character going to Latvia, again geography lesson and language
BMAN13 - January 1, 2012
You say Wallender, I say Wallenda.
I did say I live in the South now, right?
Sounds like a good series to add to my list — thanks!
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012

Operational finance.
Currently the business manager for two departments at Duke U. Handle the finances, with strong support for operational stuff because our so-called “operations” folks are content to do things the same way they did them in 1988.
My Duke e-mail address is in my profile; shoot me an e-mail if you want and I can send you a resume. Up to you, of course.
Go enjoy supper!!

Youth? Inexperience?
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
Not really. if Martellotti comes back
he will fill the last hole we have. Reber is just no used to Big Ten wrestling yet
Galen - January 1, 2012
Yeah, but that may be changing
Galen - January 1, 2012
Can Cael coach football, too?
Tackling is just another form of a double-leg takedown, right?
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
Yes
if it’s a solid double leg, it’s a great tackle.
Galen - January 1, 2012
Galen - January 1, 2012

I will have to console myself with the eggnog latte cupcakes my sister made today.
Cari Greene - January 1, 2012

Enough leftover for sauerkraut sandwiches?
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012

Off-topic
but Tamba Hali almost tore off Tebow’s head in the KC-Denver game. Wow!
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
did he do the Tebow kneel
after it?
Galen - January 1, 2012
No, but Tebow/John Fox were correct to be upset.
TH had his fingers inside the helmet and was tugging pretty hard. Let’s play tough, but fair.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
Schedule still on track for final round to start at 6:30?
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
Yes

Galen - January 1, 2012
OK, sorry, misunderstood.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
No worries
Big round for a lot of young Penn Staters
Galen - January 1, 2012
So far, so good!
Most of the wins have been by huge margins — great confidence-building.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
and...
the losses have been regular decisions. Means a lot as far as dual meets. That’s the way you want your team to perform.

Seemed like Perelli gained traction as the match went on…
BMAN13 - January 1, 2012
Not really
it seemed he caught Megaludis on one counter shot and that 5 point move killed Megaludis’ game plan. He won’t make that mistake again.

PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
Joyner has denied the O'Brien rumors, btw.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
No really?!?!?
Could it be because they aren’t hiring him???
Galen - January 1, 2012
LOL, yeah, that sums it up.
Scrap has done a great job with the media down in Texas. Is praising the team and other coaches profusely, pointing out how professional the coaches have been in spite of the uncertainties.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
To some extent, I almost hope the job is toxic and no one wants it
At some point, if the quality of candidates is bad enough, they might be forced to hire Bradley. I know it isn’t the ideal way to get the job, but if that’s what it takes to keep him here, I could live with it.
ppfcpp - January 1, 2012
Scrap and the other coaches have certainly acted with integrity and character.
That’s plenty enough recommendation for me.
PSU_Lions_84 - January 1, 2012
I'm shocked, truely shocked :-o
BMAN13 - January 1, 2012
You mean ESPN might have ran a story without checking facts?

Do you think it's weird that they award everone who had no pigtail a bye Adv pt
When they win their first (next) match?
jtothep - January 1, 2012
They don't do this at Nationals or B1Gs
jtothep - January 1, 2012
Also
What you’ve posted shows Reber, who hasn’t won a match, scoring 1 Adv pt for his championship bracket bye (pigtail) and .5 Adv for his consolation bracket bye despite in both cases losing the following matches.
He’s 0-2 and out of the tournament and still got 1.5 points for the team, by virtue of showing up? That’s pretty wac.
Unless I’m missing something.
jtothep - January 1, 2012
Gettin my Rambler on....(self-replies)
Yay, I was right and they’ve updated the team scores to remove that 1.5 erroneously ascribed to Reber. As of 9:06p:
1. Penn State PSU 118.0
2. Minnesota MINN 110.5
3. Missouri MISS 83.5
4. Cornell CORN 79.0
Here, I made a google sheet breaking down PSU scoring per wrestler per match. We’ve poured in 42 team points in bonus alone. Pretty remarkable.
Still, Minny’s also got 8 alive in the championship bracket (2 at 133), so this will be tightly contested. Still, still, our lads performances today were lights-out! Still, still, still, tomorrow also marks the last time we’ll get to see Devon Still play for us.
jtothep - January 1, 2012
Thanks for the clarifications
I waited for the individual results to be updated before posting anything but I didn’t understand the scoring. I’m still not sure if the final team score will be based on taking the highest 10 (regardless of weight class) or all 15 entries’ scores.
I wonder why Frank M did not compete at 133 (rumors)?
I wonder why Sherlock did not compete at 141 (rumors)?
OlderBudweiser - January 2, 2012
I started geeking out on the scoring last year
But am still refining. I’ll keep that spreadsheet updating as live as I can keep it today. The PSWC site is amazing & quick with posting individ results which can easily be copied/pasted. And semifinal wins pack another Plc scoring wallop—6pts for each win (for guaranteeing at least 2nd place). Still, with Minny having so many there also, it’ll more likely come down to the 4 Plc pts a win in the finals makes ya.
I read Martellotti is still set to compete in our next dual, but saw no rumors yet why he didn’t compete here.
I also read that Sherlock has been removed from the roster and board speculation has guesses he may follow Matt Dernlan (who recruited him) to Clarion. Roster here.
jtothep - January 2, 2012
Oh, also missed one of your questions
The other fellas taught me yesterday that we apparently named our ten scorers before the tourney began, and the posted Team Scores support this. At the Midlands tourney that Iowa just finished, it appeared you could name two scorers in one weight and ignore another weight altogether (although I read conflicting reports of who were the official scorers), but I don’t know if the Scuffle allows this. If they did, it would seem (even given the benefit of hindsight) that Sanderson would know that Brown or Vollrath were more likely to score points than Reber and would have named either of them such. Similar with either Brown/Vollrath vs. Pearsall maybe?
In any event it’s clear our Team Scoring wrestlers are our predominant starters at all 10 weights, so I made two ‘sheets’ on that google doc, one for starters and one for benchers. So Vollrath & Brown’s scores have not been counted along the way.
jtothep - January 2, 2012
Thanks again
Good experience for the backups!
Zero points from 133; ouch!
OlderBudweiser - January 2, 2012
Bet
And yeah, this year’s Nationals figures to be much closer with both Iowa & Minny having improved and with us having lost one of our five Top-3s from last year. We’re obviously not gonna repeat Andrew Long’s 18 pts at that weight, but we need to have somebody score a few points. Man, I hope Martelotti can:
1. Get qualified
2. Win 2 – 4 matches
jtothep - January 2, 2012
Pin Race (as of this moment)

4. Wright, Quentin Penn State 3 13:14
5. Yohn, Sonny Minnesota 2 2:06

10. Taylor, David Penn State 2 4:12

So, we have 9 in the semis, none of whom face each other.
We could have 9 finalists & 7 champions. We have 3 in the consolations.
Elihu - January 1, 2012
Ha, that'd be hilarious
It would also mean a few massive or notable upsets, such as:
157: unranked James Vollrath upsetting #1 ranked Kyle Dake, or
157: #10 Dylan Alton upsetting Dake
174: unranked Matt Brown already knocked off #7 ranked Dorian Henderson; next up for him is #10 Logan Storley
184: #5 Q would have to finish strong, including possibly over #3 Bosak
197: #11 McIntosh would have to knock off #1 Cam Simaz & then possibly #2 Sonny Yohn
HWT: #8 Wade would have to unseat #4 Clayton Jack & #7 Tony Nelson
