    Next Year's Schedule

    Gene Wettstone (great Gymnastics coach mid-century) used to bring in International teams to Rec Hall in the 60’s. These were exciting affairs and added a unique twist to the season. The gymnasts were particularly excited to go up against international stars. Bringing in Japanese stars in...

    Next Year's Schedule

    That’s a great idea. Florida is starting to produce some serious talent. I’m sure PSU would receive a good bit of recruiting love for putting on a show in Orlando. Cornell? Iowa State?

    Next Year's Schedule

    Long time PSU season tix holder, but, live west of Blacksburg and regularly attend VT duals. YES, if they schedule it . . . they will come!

    AJ going to be a Hawk?

    There a been lots of chitter chat in Lincoln about Tercel, James Green, and especially Bryan Snyder moaning to Manning about A.J. just plain not listening to them. Watch the end of a couple the matches and you can see their disgust. If I were a betting man, I’d wager that A.J. was asked to...

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Would be some interesting team dynamics if they brought in Stanich.

    Best Part of the Offseason

    My wife and I have been diehard Sports fans since the 60’s. Over the past few years we’ve dialed down our freakish devotion to FB and just dropped BB after 50+ years of futility (you know >> how do they define insanity). With the hockey loss last night we now enter a long cold summer of...

    The don't clog the board with final/stay thoughts from NCAAs, post them here, thread

    Your stats as presented offer a clear direction for Blaze’s development. Over the years I’ve observed that almost all freshmen (especially true freshmen) struggle to broaden their tactics. They cling onto what got them into our room. Nick Lee would be an obvious example. Assuming that...

    Mitchell Mesenbrink amazement thread

    Nolf was simply phenomenal. Never thought I’d see better. MM has gotten better each year and has been totally entertaining throughout. What will next year bring?

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    No belts for our guys in this pic. At both BiG’s and in Cleveland our guys gave those ugly things away as fast as they could. Belts is probably a Tan Tom idea.

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    Butt hurt - NINE …. count em 9 times! Lashing out in his last college match. Guys has to live with himself forever. Sad & embarrassing end for a guy who mighta won 1 or 2 in the absence of MM. I live not too far from VT, but, am a long time PSU season tix holder. Down here in the...

    Stalling

    What you suggest for the end of period 1 introduces massive uncertainty. Now while investors do not like uncertainty, we fans should embrace it as a means of forcing action. If a wrestler is very uncertain about getting dinged with a stall call, he will have ample incentive to at least make it...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session V Thread

    I’ve never been accused of using tact or trying to be classy; …. so I’ll just say it! Both are phony quitters, especially since their teams are fighting for a podium finish.

    Redshirts and needs for next year

    Presumably this why he has been in the room so long. Ono is elite and if I were a betting man (I’m not), I’d say his top and bottom game will be just fine. That said, mat wrestling is not gonna be where he exerts his dominance.

    Party in Hawk Land

    Iowa is like an older pack animal in a dog sled team. With age, the old dog has been shuffled towards the back of the gangline, but, he still works hard. Unfortunately younger and stronger dogs await in the dog yard. The future is rather clear in this regard. Iowa is not our top rival...
