    As a fan, which NCAA loss left the biggest bruise?

    IMO the ones where a Penn Stater misses out on a potential/likely opportunity for only one hurts the most. Beau losing to Mendez in the finals when Beau had him dead to rights still stings. He had a legit shot the next year as well and couldn’t ride Mendez for another 5 seconds but that one I...

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Hmmm, I just assumed the coaches were photoshopped in. When I saw this I thought, not the greatest look but kids will be kids and who am I to judge. But, if the Brands sat for this photo or did not say “hey, not the greatest look and you shouldn’t have included us in that picture “ then I...

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    I might be mistaken (very often am) but I don’t think we wrestle Nebraska in a dual this year. And I get the rotation for the B10, but imo that’s a huge miss in doing everything possible to grow the sport. Clearly we should wrestle Nebraska every year (again, hope I’m wrong).

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    It seems like Ono and Blaze are interchangeable b/t 133 and 141 but more often than not I’m seeing Blaze listed at ‘41 with a projected lineup. I get the Olympic weight argument and Blaze wanting to get comfortable with that weight, but I imagine Ono might be of the same mindset. And it seems...

    ONO

    I think he starts and it’s 50/50 between 133/141. Blaze obviously man’s whatever weight Ono doesn’t go. Reason being is that I find it hard to believe he spends 2+ years in Happy Valley supposedly learning folkstyle to never wrestle folkstyle. I am biased, of course, because I want to see...

    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...

    District 4 - I like the way you think.

    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...
