    Is Third The New First? - The "What Was PJ Duke Thinking?" Edition

    Great article! I have no way to know if this is true or not but I would like to know how much you think (know?) the three point takedown and the four point nearfall has affected this phenomenon. I'm old-school when it comes to scoring and I believe that the primary goal in wrestling is, and...

    The price of success?

    I have two tickets and they are $25 a peace; $50. The Posse mandatory donation is now $650 plus $20 processing fee: Total $720. Last year Posse was $550, the year before I think it was $75 (I'm not sure about that)

    The price of success?

    Well, the good news is that the Ticket prices stayed the same. The bad news is the mandatory Posie donation went up $100 to $650. Does anyone know what other competitive schools charge? PSU, Iowa, OHST, ISU... I would think that OU lets anyone that shows up in for free and throws in a free...

    Didn't the Raney's say they wanted to stay in the same class

    Other notable results and news

    I'd be happy with one less school. I still can't believe we allowed the traitorous, cheating Gommers back in the Big 12. They left for the money so why are we giving them money by wrestling them. Honestly, make it two. The same goes for Asscreams school. They also left for the money as well and...

    Rest In Peace

    This is a crazy thing to hear. Daniel was one of my favorite wrestlers to watch. It was a shame when he was forced to retire because of seizures which I guess he had been having for years and just didn't know. It was especially bad for him when teammates and fans accused him of slacking at the...

    What Did You Expect? - NCAA Team Performance Relative to Expectations

    Man, it sucks to see us on the Red side of that chart three times. 1984 was a complete "suck it" tourney. Only Sheets and Monday wrestled to seed; 1 - 1. Lynes seeded 3 - finished 4; Dykeman 2 - 4; Perry, Skove & Anderson - 3/6, 2/5, 1/5. But the real kick in the nuts was Smith 3 - DNP. Not a...

    Sergio Vega baby!!!

    Jax is the man and is a gas to watch but if I could only watch one match per dual, it would almost always be Sergio.

    Hodge Trophy

    Messinbrink seems to be the clear winner. He pushes the action, scores a lot of points and falls and, although I've seen few of his matches, he seems to comport himself well on the mat and if he didn't, I'm sure many here would be letting us know. We'll see how it goes next year as I invision...

    So is it true that Dee was penalized two teams points? 133 would have tied us with OHST for the highest 2nd place score which is quite an accomplishment.

    New Bracket Template - Need your help

    If I had know it was going to vanish I would have downloaded all of as quickly as I possible could. Sadly, I only have all the data for Mike Sheets, Kenny Monday and John Smith. There is a wealth of data that has got to be out there somewhere
