    '26 Hodge Trophy Finalists; Fan Vote Now Open

    I was very happy to see Mendez lose in the finals and "disqualify" himself for the Hodge. Seems to me OSU and Mendez himself were appointing him the winner before all the matches were wrestled. Their arrogance was grating. If you talk the talk you better be sure you can walk the walk.

    2026 NCAA Championship Session III Thread

    Totally agree. If a wrestler doesn't have legitimate national title chances then he can't crack this line up.

    Hodge Race widens

    If freshman of the year was voted before the Big Tens, I would think Blaze would have bested Davino since Blaze was undefeated and beat Davino head to head.

    Would this be a good real estate investment?

    Kinda looks like where we are headed.

    Japan Travel Advice

    Thanks for you input. We are only spending 4 days in Tokyo. We won't see the entire city, but that's okay. I think we have a full day private guide in Kyoto that includes a visit to Nara. We are staying in a ryokan over a natural hot springs in Hakone. We have a 6 hour cruise on lake Ashi...

    Japan Travel Advice

    My wife and I are spending 15 days in Japan next month. We will be in Tokyo, Hakone, Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto. We are looking at dining options. There are plenty of inexpensive restaurants and reasonable street food options. I started to look at nicer restaurants and the budgets are $125...

    USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon

    Please forgive me for asking a question that I'm sure has been previously addressed. The four West Coast Big teams did not compete in the wrestling championships this past weekend. Do they not field wrestling teams or did they opt out of the wrestling part of the conference because of...

    NFL Combine - Penn State guys and others

    Maybe. Isn’t football a game of constant adjustments? Nick and the staff had ample time to counter opposing team adjustments. The reason for his regression is open to debate, the fact it occurred is not debatable.

    NFL Combine - Penn State guys and others

    I feel our fans have a short memory. For their first two years Nick was the superior back. In years three and four Nick regressed and Kaytron got better.

    NFL Combine - Penn State guys and others

    Who is the same player as Aaron Donald? Even though they are the same size, this is a very unfair comparison for Zane.

    Expected Team Points as of 02/23/26 - The "Everything Everywhere All At Once" Edition

    Your spreadsheet is impressive, but with my limited wrestling knowledge I think incorrect. For starters PSU has 6 #1 ranked wrestlers and you give them 3.1 champions. Not saying it couldn't happen, but unlikely. Pen State has 9 wrestlers ranked #5 or higher, but you give them 8.4 AAs. Based...

    previously discussed, but beating the drum once again

    Don't forget Ono. Don't know which weight he will compete at, but he is a World Champ who is red shirting. Would have to think he is at least in the NC conversation next year.
