Way to go Levi!!!

I’m not a Penn State alum like many/most here.
But as a Penn State fan, how can anyone not be very proud of these guys when they interview?
Impressive to me.

What’s with scUM always running away?

It’s what scared skunk-bears do

 

[Sunshinedynomite 1]

Who did Lee replace his freshman year?

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

Hey, Tom, two questions for the off-season:

1) How does one wrestle offensively while on one's knees? Seen a few wrestlers this tournament use that as their go-to position. Seems much more defensive and thus (I would hope) open to stall calls.

2) Speaking of stalling, there seem to be some odd calls, especially on our guys when it seems they are being aggressive. What are the offensive conditions that might merit a stall call?

Many thanks in advance!

 

[GregPickel]

Will do my best on Truax @Tom McAndrew et. al.

 

[GA_Lion]

Penn State now 37-6 in this tournament. When Iowa scored 170 points in 1997, it went 43-10. The Nittany Lions could eclipse that tomorrow if all goes as planned.
