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

    Cael always talks about the quality of people in the program and it just seems to shine through. Not only are we enjoying a historic run of greatness, the PSU wrestlers are impossible not to like and be impressed by. Duke’s interview after taking 3rd should have been an embarrassment to every...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    So bummed for SVN. After he got that first takedown to essentially tie the match if memory serves me I thought he was going to roll, but it just didn’t happen. The blood timeouts were ashame because his gas tank always has him owning the 3rd period. With Bassett coming in next year, likely at...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    This is how tough this tournament is. Mendez, who is considered an all-timer (and rightfully so, he’s had an amazing college career) is arguably a desperation roll through and 4 seconds of riding time away from never winning a title. Just so tough to win. Makes MM and Jax making things look...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session IV Thread

    I am older than most I imagine on this forum (and admittedly ‘free-ride’ as I’m on here obsessively but infrequently post b/c not sure I have much to add) but I recall a times past when ‘tie’ matches were decided by criteria. Up until this year I always thought it was ridiculous to put a match...

    Wrestlestat NCAA Tournament Simulation

    I don’t disagree in light of the fact we have a legitimate shot at 8 champs (totally nuts), but that simulation is 4 champs and 7 finalists. That’s an historic tournament and will be challenging to match let alone beat. Of course, anything less than 8 champs at this point I’ll be disappointed...

    Iowa vs Oklahoma State

    Exactly. So Arnold is the one who basically has a takedown (I thought it was) and did all the work at the end of the 3rd period for a takedown but somehow loses on a stall point to a wrestler who spent 7 minutes in an underhook. C’mon refs, start getting it right, that was so poor.

    PSU - Iowa '26 Match Thread

    He did shake hands. It was actually very respectful and something I would like to see more of, especially at this level. He looked at Welsh quickly as soon as the match was over and gave the slight head nod that said “yep, you got that one” and they quickly just slapped hands and he walked...

    Black Night Invitational

    Just hoping to clarify. I’ll be there tomorrow and everything I’ve seen says 10AM EST start. Can anyone help me out and confirm 9ET or 10ET tomorrow? Thx!

    '25 NWCA All-Star Classic, 11/1, thread

    Admittedly it was not the best wrestling event, mostly because PSU was not there (and understandably so - 70% of the team and coaches were just in Serbia) and it seemed to lack a truly signature match like Ferrari - McNelly. That being said, I thought it was pretty good and most of the matches...

    '25 U23 World Championships, 10/20-27 thread

    Hey all, first time posting but I’ve been free-riding on this forum (well this one and we know another) for several years. Haven’t posted because I suspect everyone else’s knowledge and experience is superior to mine, but just felt compelled to post and thank SlipperyPete for the amazing PBP...
