I don’t understand the Mendez for Hodge rage here. The guy is deserving and the PSU guys will steal votes from each other. It’s that simple.
2026 B1G Tourney Session IV Thread

how many finals do you think we win? If we win only 2, we're at 155.5. I don't think OSU gets to that
No ones asking you to. Mitch is at 100% bonus. Mendez if I'm not mistaken has 2 regular decisions yet he's been put up by many as the Hodge front runner. It's ok you agree with that....I just don't.
Dear Brothers in Arms. Let's Do This! We Are, Penn State Wrestling!
If anything, you are undermining Barr.
I’m not one for conspiracy theories, as the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. But when guys like Nolf and Starocci never win a Hodge, something is fishy.
Damn, I'm getting goose bumps waiting for the start or the 125 final (and the final session). We spend all year talking about this amazing sport, but Session IV of the B1G Tournament is one of the absolute highlights of the year.
Jason Aldean walk out for Volk. Hope he gets demolished.
Has Volk taken a single shot??
Liledahl can not be denied! Volk is a strong mofo though!
Whew, Luke really deserved that one!
Lightning Luke in SV-1!!!!!
I can't believe they're interviewing us. what's wrong with them. this should've been yesterday....

How about Pat Kraft putting his arms around Scooter in celebration!
Liledahl not holding back. He's only concerned with one thing. Getting that title in two weeks.
Scooter looks happier for Luke than Luke himself. Say what you want about Scooter, but he seems like an unselfish, team guy.
