    You're so negative. A mean troll you are. At this point I am neither positive nor negative. Sure, there are certain things with current recruiting that are disappointing. Regardless of the disappointments, the current state of recruiting is not a disaster. The poster who made the analogy of PSU...

    Given that I spent most of my working life in the greater LA Metro Area, I am more than familiar with Sam Gilbert. Did you know that he did not really become involved with UCLA athletics until after John Wooden had already won 2 NCAA championships at UCLA? The issue at hand is that you stated...

    Nobody had more swagger than John Wooden. He just hid it well behind that calm demeanor!

    David Taylor and Cael Sanderson? Biggest impact on Penn State wrestling?

    It is similar to Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus 10 years ago. Woods stood on the threshold of ascending to GOAT status. Personal issues and injuries prevented Tiger from crossing that threshold and Jack remains the GOAT.

    Why do you insist on referring to the former coach as CJF. This accords him a degree of respect that he does not deserve. He is BGJ, a moniker that expresses the disdain and lack of respect that he fully earned. You haven't been paying attention to the fan base perspective. There has been a...

    Michael Robinson was a top 100 4- star prospect. He was evaluated as an athlete, and most recruiting sites projected him as a probable safety. Robinson chose PSU because JoePa promised him a shot at QB.

    It was the same game. tOSU had been playing a zone which had a soft spot behind the corner and in front of the safety. Late in the game, tOSU started dropping the corner back into the soft spot. Anthony didn't pick it up and ended up throwing 2 pick-sixes. The first one was on Anthony. Jay...

If we look at winning percentage, PSU is at 16/47 = 34.0%, ISU is at 14/48 = 29.2%. So given the relative perception and actual historical success of the two teams...
