2 years in a row PSU breaks the record but OKST steals the show

[Truzzcat]

Feels like what DT got out of Dean and wyatt was the story last year and this year 3 TF national champs and another freshman in the finalist. Not going to go out and say OKST wins it next year but I think they will be even better and PSU loses levi but probably improves at 141, what happens with PJ I think looms large not that replacing him with Kasak is much of a step down if at all the field improving overall also makes things interesting.

Reminds me a bit of the 2021(?) tourney, expect PSU has more to give going forward than Iowa did. Easy to see people are really itching for a team race again, and I want that too. For Penn State, each win seems more relief than achievement, and that’s no fun or good for the fans.

USA Today seems to agree

The decision to give fans all-access to the program is looking  like stroke of genius. . . for now.

1032004: thx for posting USA Today. It's a nice article and frankly much much better than themat.com or intermat which are flat, boring and barely worth reading. Flo too.

The Stilly Boys can have the headlines, Penn State will just slink off with another points record.

No doubt, but PSU is uncatchable if OSU )or anybody else) doesn't win the recruiting war. The headlines will help bc it's more about follows and likes than about moves. 

 How much more more remains to be seen.
