    Iowa lands Ryan Crookham

    That was my excuse (ha). I'm guessing most of you guys know that growing up in PA in the 80s, Lehigh was the program that was on TV. And obviously it was a good school for engineering. I wasn't a good student and landed at ESU when Cuvo was there. My HS teammate also wrestled at a D1 PA...

    Iowa lands Ryan Crookham

    Congrats. I really hope he stays healthy. He's from my backyard and I've been a big fan. Lehigh Valley kids are as tough as they come. Smart kid too.

    2025-26 Flyers Thread

    As someone who considers the 'let's go pens' horn every 5 minutes one of the most annoying things in sports aside from Gus Johnson (give it a rest guys), as a Flyers fan that 'ignite the orange' thing they rolled out yesterday was super cringe. They need to come up with something better.

    FC/OT: Oregon struggling with enrollment?

    OSU has a much better rep for tech, engineering, math, etc. UofO is better known as a liberal arts school. I have a buddy that went there and his wife got her PhD in music there. I've been to Autzen several times for Ducks games when I lived in WA. Nice campus, fun atmosphere but didn't...

    I was probably too harsh on Sparks. I guess everyone needs a shtick these days and I don't care for his. Still, from an entertainment value perspective I think I'd probably prefer to listen to the clueless "illegal fist to the back" interns than Shane.

    Maybe it's just me and growing up in PA with youth wrestling in the 80s. I never heard anyone talking about slapping, rolling or hitting or anything "resilite". That was my experience. It sounds contrived, corporate, and fake to me as a gen Xer.

    Shane Sparks = Gus Johnson of college wrestling. Can't stand that guy and his idiotic infatuation with resilite. Jeff Byers is the GOAT.

    Moving to Pennsylvania and hoping to become a Penn State fan

    I beg to differ Sir. Anecdotally, I've seen as many Stars and Bars in Pennsyltucky as anywhere in the South. I'll never forget going into a bar in central PA during a fishing trip and asking for the bartender to change the channel to an Eagles game during the Southern 500. We almost got into...

    Moving to Pennsylvania and hoping to become a Penn State fan

    You've got some great fishing close by. If your boys enjoy wetting a line, I'd give a lot of thought to getting a boat to fish for Susquehanna Smallmouth. Great fly-fishing options also.

    Tiger Woods in another car crash.

    He does look bad. Hard being on top hitting balls into cups I guess.

    Mitchell Mesenbrink amazement thread

    Yes that happened, and yes it was a bad look for Caliendo who I'm guessing will come to regret it. But Caliendo seems like a good guy and after a career 0-9 in that matchup that is an understandable reaction for a young man and outstanding wrestler. Bo Nickal already defended him. That's good...
