Any chance it was more than a bad cut? It was initially "reported" here that Frost had gotten hurt in warmpus, now he's pulling out of the All Star Classic. I think we need him to be anywhere near this team's best.
Stanford Dual Preview
- Thread starter stuclone
- Start date
People who expect a NCAA tournament placing team to compete like one. Will you not care if we lose to ******* Navy but got some freshman mat time?
Comparing Stanford to Navy is certainly a choice. My advice to everyone: step off the ledge and relax. Dresser has been doing this a long time and is not one to duck opponents. He’s proven that. Everyone that was held out was held out because they were not the best option at the weight for the dual from various circumstances. Nobody wants to win more than Dresser, and I’m sure that loss ate at him more than most of the people posting on this board. We’ll be fine
All I know is you won't see something like that with the Brands when they wrestle in front of 14,000 people. I do hope these injuries that happened before the year isn't something to be concerned about all season.
Listen I wish as much as anybody that duals meant something, but they don't. If Frost doesn't make weight for nationals or tanks the rest of the season due to weight issues I'll be as mad as anybody but getting mad about a dual in November with the state of the sport just isn't worth your time.
This is dumb because we don’t duck and Brands is known for ducking.
Well you have to all the way back to 2018 to find Iowa losing at home to someone not Penn State.
???????? Then I guess I don't have to remind you about Brands medical forfeiting out of HALF of their medal matches at the 2022 Big 10 Tournament. Oh ya I forgot, they love "tough wrestling"
Because hawk troll is gonna hawk troll. Can't help it.
duals need to matter for the longevity of the sport

I'm not going to overreact to the loss. I was disappointed but not shocked.
But if the duals truly mean nothing, why am I and 7,000 others spending $99 for each season ticket, plus Johnny's passes, plus gas and time to attend. I'm pretty sure KD wouldn't agree that duels, even in November, mean nothing. Of course they matter. Or am I just a sucker?
I think people mean that the duals don't matter when it comes to the post season. Yes, we as fans want them to win them all. However, with so much of our lineup being out it's not exactly a shock that we lost......and all the comments about us ducking are way overboard.
First of all comparing Navy to Stanford is wild. Second, the guys were held out for a reason and it had zero impact on the rankings. Back off the ledge.
How far back would you have to go to find a team that didn't duck?
Do you enjoy going? I am a season ticket holder so I say they don’t matter as someone who doesn’t miss a meet. They are still fun because of the high level wrestling we get to see. But no in terms of competitive standing the team scores of the dual do not matter even the tiniest amount.
Yeah you won’t find an argument from me there, like I said I wish they did matter.duals need to matter for the longevity of the sport

Well you said they were ducking people, they clearly win in front of their fans. My whole point is everyone I know who left Hilton on Friday was pissed. You don't build attendance with that crap. I hope we see a different line up on Friday...
They duck people all the time. At home, on the road and in tournaments. I’m not sure how that is relevant to them winning duals at home vs teams not named Penn State.
