    Rare Penn State Wrestling Cards

    This set has some pretty cool guys. It's not my cup of tea and I'm not really too interested, but I do know Jeff and run into him occasionally. He'd probably be pleased to see that card.

    Real American Freestyle

    Totally unrelated to wrestling (I guess), but I saw an employee at a Chik-fil-a the other day that looked just like Aeden Sinclair. I was by myself at the time, but I was looking around for someone to tell. ;)

    The don't clog the board with final/stay thoughts from NCAAs, post them here, thread

    Agreed, nothing to lose sleep over, but it's at least relevant to wrestling and involves a PSU wrestler (former), so I don't see why it would be off-limits to discuss. Geez, when you compare this to some of the stuff that gets discussed here ad nauseum, this is why more wrestling related.

    I hadn't seen it until now, but it seems an odd take from McEnelly. You'd think he'd be pleased to be getting the attention. You can be less than interested and still be flattered without sounding like a jerk. Just my opinion of course.

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

    Interesting topic. Obviously, when you have seven guys ranked #1, it becomes very difficult, almost impossible to exceed expectations. That's what so many are forgetting when they brag about Okie State's or Iowa's performance (not that they didn't do well).

    What was Cael referring to about "the rules"?

    My suspicion is that a lot of 18-20 year old kids (or even 21-22) still aren't sure what they wish to do with themselves and school is a diversion to them (or a way to continue wrestling). When I was a sophomore, junior or senior in college, if someone would have said, I'll give you "X dollars"...

    What was Cael referring to about "the rules"?

    Thanks for posting that. I also wondered what he meant when he said it and as it happens, I'm dealing with a personal situation presently where it's quite relevant and at least a little bit calming to me.

    The don't clog the board with final/stay thoughts from NCAAs, post them here, thread

    Yep. I don't doubt that some wrestlers might use the "I kicked your ***" handshake in a passive-aggressive manner, but I don't think that's Mitch's thing. I think he thinks that wrestlers are all part of the same fraternity and that they should all be buddies. If anything, it would be...

    The don't clog the board with final/stay thoughts from NCAAs, post them here, thread

    So many things still going through my mind about the tournament and most of them bittersweet at least (still pissed off about PJ's screwing and a bit sad for Shayne), but I'm back to the Caliendo thing. I said immediately that anyone could understand his frustration or even bitterness at...

    Hodge race-Who ended the season undefeated?

    Yep, I presumed that might be "the reason" as well, but Psalm guy is right, why post that when both are/were your teammates? Thankfully, I'm not sure anyone really cares what Carter's opinion is and I'm pretty sure that nobody will vote for one over the other because of his opinion. I don't...

    The don't clog the board with final/stay thoughts from NCAAs, post them here, thread

    Exactly, aside from the fact that the ref didn't immediately call the takedown and did in essence give Robideau reaction time before he did so, I'm not sure why anyone is suggesting that somehow because Robideau "had the leg" that it's some sort of defense to what a takedown has always been...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    If true, that pisses me off even more. Wouldn't you presume that given the gravity of the situation that they would really want to get that one right and that you'd wish it was unanimous? I'm still unwilling to believe that "the fix was in", but I still just can't understand how badly they...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    Well, Rocco's a solid kid too, so I can absolutely see him at 197, but he'd have to beat Barr on the mat and I don't believe that he'd do it right now. As others have pointed out, Barr's not a huge 197 and moving him to HWT makes ZERO sense in my opinion and I'd be shocked if it was something...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    My first post in this thread (I think). Random thoughts, like Bo Nickal, I'm depressed after PSU crowns 4 individual champs and breaks the scoring record again. I'm MOSTLY still pissed about what they did to PJ Duke, but also disappointed for Cole, Braeden, Blaze and especially PJ, not to...

    Hey, I vaguely remember a Pappy's Pizza in State College. As I recall, I really loved that place when I was that age.
