    NCAA Wrestling Seeds:

    [ It wouldn't. People are expressing what they want to happen as justification for what they think should happen. In no world would an undefeated #2 wrestler be penalized for losing to an undefeated #1 wrestler when there is not an equally credentialed #3 or 4 waiting in the wings to move up...

    How many of our wrestlers

    I've got to give Gravina credit. I'm not even sure how dude's arm hasn't fallen off yet and he is still qualifying for nationals. That's a good effort by him.

    OT: 5* QB to transfer from UGA

    I don't see any of these three as his landing spot, although I would be happy to be wrong as he's a very talented athlete.

    Smith Vilbert down to UO, SU, PSU and UF

    No clue about Oregon, but PSU still has a spot for him. They wanted him to sign tomorrow, but he has been fairly adamant about wanting to take his visits. Our Coaching staff held back their HC in home visit to counter any momentum Florida might get from his official visit in January. JMO but I...

    Meyer Retires - Penn State To Clean Up

    If you are referring to the article written by Sean Fitz on 247, it doesn't even remotely portray what you're claiming here. There are only a handful of uncommitted players that both schools are still actively recruiting for 2019, and 2020 is uncertain as no one knows what OSU's Staff will...

    I want to go BOWLING next year

    No offense to Art because he's probably a great kid, but if he's your starting QB next season you are not going to a bowl. I'm not sure that you win 3 games. I have never seen a player more ill prepared to start at QB on the FBS Level than he was this year. I'm not sure what another off season...

    Burly commi

    My bad this is a thread about a different burly commie?

    Whipping Boys

    The thing is that the pot increased. A lot. The existing members chose to make themselves more than whole from a pay perspective with the additions of TCU and WVU. They essentially made them buy into the conference by accepting a reduced payout. At least in The B1G the new members are buying...

    Whipping Boys

    Both WVU and TCU gave up far more than Rutgers did to escape a fate in The AAC. They both joined a conference without its own branded network. Therefore the reduced share probationary period they signed on to was nothing more than a means for their new conference's existing members to line their...

    Sitkowski's devolopment, from HS to now.

    As an outside observer I don't believe that Ash did Sitkowski any favors by keeping him out there as long as he did against Kansas. When the point of diminishing returns is reached you have to pull the plug. That was reached in the 2nd Qtr at Kansas IMO. There's a fine line between letting a...

    Papa/Weis on Sirius discuss Rutgers

    Sorry but changing a centuries old name of a major university with the end goal being to attract more student athletes is insane. If you want to land better recruits there is a far more sensible solution. Win games. Do that and kids will want to be a part of your programs.

    Has the ACC Passed the Big 12 in Wrestling?

    True. I think it would have been pretty cool to have a huge Tom as our National Bird. Very unique looking animal. That said I wonder what effect if any it would have had on Thanksgiving Menus?

    Has the ACC Passed the Big 12 in Wrestling?

    The team name "Hokies" and the modern VPI Mascot "Hokie Bird" are both fairly new in the grand scheme of college football history. I believe they began using both in the 70's or 80's. Prior to these names, but sometimes still referenced by VPI People is the old moniker "Fighting Gobblers."...

    Tournament Thread: NCAA Wrestling Championships Session 6, Saturday 8pm, FINALS W SURIANO V LEE !

    What did you say that was controversial? How about the entire first paragraph where you described our team as a brainwashed cult operating under mind control of their coach? These are awesome kids with great personalities. Many of them have deeply rooted faith and are highly active in the...
