Anyone who knows me knows my Lehigh bona fides but I've seen more obnoxious behavior from Lehigh fans at EIWAs over the years than any other team by a country mile.

**** Actually I find Philly Cheesestesks to be very lacking (little flavor). I prefer a good Lehigh Valley one with extra cheese, onions, sauce and pickles.

>>>>>>>>>Besides the team standing, another negative indicator for Penn’s EIWA performance is having three guys (133,139,184) who earned allocations for the conf and now need a wild card selection to make the NCAAs.

Appreciate your insight toast. Didn’t realize how much Penn is a hot button for some Lehigh fans. It is clear that Penn is getting very good recruits that are not jumping levels once they are in the room. Some actually regressing.

The “movement” has stalled.

Assuming you mean 149 ..... all 3 will need a miracle. IMO.

These losses weren't 'upsets' -- there were a pattern.

They seem flat and clearly need a spark, likely in the form of a star. No one has emerged yet. I thought it would be Colaiocco or one of the four two-time NJ state champs on the roster.

Legs, I'm a classicist. Just meat, onions, cheese and roll. Anything else is gilding the lily.

They are not very nice, about anything and bad Karma invites bad Karma. Arrogance doesn't have much of a place in this sport. You always have to prove iy on the mat.
Agree with that George - incidentally I ended up seated right behind Lucas Revano's parents and sister during session #2 (they rushed in and grabbed about 12 seats). I didn't know who they were at first other than obnoxious Penn fans, but I heard his sister make a personal, derogatory comment about me after I cheered on a Lehigh guy. When he stopped by after his match I was not surprised. Nasty people and another reminder that money does NOT buy class. It's okay, though - hopefully they enjoyed hearing my comments about how dirty Penn wrestlers are throughout the rest of that session.

If you watch their duals this season, there is more nonsense like headbutts, taunting, and shoving than just about any other team. Happened a couple times at EIWAs too. Penn's poor performance at the EIWAs shows that Reina needs to clean house and focus on different things. Bringing in dirty, arrogant Tyler Berger was a bad move and is not working out. Time to get back to basics and start over.
Revano's the guy who drew the team penalty point in the dual. Taunted the fans after his bout, was hit with unsportsmanlike conduct. 5th-year senior, he's not going to learn any manners at this stage.

Revano has an interesting style. He retreats and guys follow him like the PIed Piper. Then, we all that forward motion, he changes levels and shoots very effectively. Max was fortunate to counter (he didn't in the dual) -- Revano has improved since his freshman year and is a solid 157 lber.

Not sure he, or anyone else, care about manners inside the circle. IMO, he does what he does to give himself an edge. UPenn's guys are built like brick $#it houses. Incontrera at 174? How?
