    It’s a Penn State World

    Got one in Tbilisi, Soviet Georgia back in the 1990's attending the tournament and had a PSU hat on. Ironically it was a very accomplished Russian wrestler no longer competing who gave me the shout out! It was Sergei Beloglazoz. He had worked the Russian Houk camp at Camp Maple Lake outside...

    Penn State legend David Taylor on his Oklahoma State program possibly facing the Lions one day: 'We’ll save one date every year'

    Taylor is trying to manufacture a current rivalry that is not ready to happen yet. If Cael doesn't accept (and I feel confident PSU would prevail if they did wrestle), then DT will keep on until they do wrestle, most likely when OSU has their best chance. I guarantee Flo will be on the OSU...

    July 31 eligibility waiver requests

    Now if someone could just fund a judge that would rule that PSU nonstarters could participate in the NCAA ... we would have two teams in the top 5!

    The Mount(s) Rushmore of NCAA Wrestling

    Freshmen were not eligible in Hodge's day and schools simply did not wrestle as many matches and they were almost all duals. I am 75 (younger than Danny RIP) and it was like that back in the day. Never taken down, over 80 percent pin rate, cover of SI ... it ain't called the Hodge Trophy for...

    TCB - The Most Efficient Wrestlers in NCAA Tournament History

    Starts and end with Danny Hodge. Was never taken down during his college career, 76 percent of his wins coming by fall. I had the privilege to meet Danny several times at wrestling camps and he was great with my young wrestlers, very patient showing technique and had a great sense of humor. A...

    It seems that the consensus is that Oklahoma State is the new rival…

    Is this a possibility? Looks like the strongest lineup on paper. 125 Lilledahl 133 Ono 141 Blaze 149 Van Ness 157 James 165 Duke 174 Mesenbrink 187 Welsh 194 Barr 275 Mirasola

    ONO

    I went to high school in the 1960's and the wrestling coach (of course) taught Driver's Ed and Study Hall. If you were overweight , he would get you out of class and you would run mountains (I live in WV) while the Driver's Ed. students drove behind you. He would hang his head out of the...
