  1. that area of 9th has many fun and interesting restaraunts and is heavy on Italian options - most are not to expensive but also some higher end spots if you wish
  2. RIP - 75 is too young to pass on.
  3. voted PSU and have no idea who this guy is?
  4. hope he makes a full recovery and is 100% soon!
  5. Lost at Penn in OT to Cross Wasilewski, who is having a nice season and could shake it up at NCAAs!
  6. Dick DiBatista - undefeated and 2x champ. Not permitted to compete as freshman and NCAA's cancelled for WWII one year. The guy who he beat the first time apparently was older and an AAU champ and was so pissed he came after Dibi in the showers. Dibi said that he did not engage and others intervened.
  7. Intermat rankings 125 # 8 Lilledahl 133 #10 Romney 141 #6 Hardy 149 #14 Whalen 157 #11 Cannon 165 #5 Ramirez 174 #4 Kharchla 184 #6 Foca 197 #7 Little 285 #5 Trephan and #6 Schultz - hard to say where they are seeded amd ramked
  8. Let Jimmies alone! JC is so good that one is not enough!
  9. This might be a way. Able to use a grey shirt or an Olympic year - 2028 Olympics? Does the Olympic year thing apply to collegiate 2026-2027 season or only the 2027-2028 season? Would guess that several of the rostered PSU guys might be eligible when this comes around?
  10. funny - but there is always a risk of illness, concussion, skin check, or other disqualifying injury/problem as well as a Ramos-like pinfall of the top guy. Always a risk somebody baits him into upper body challenge posiiton and like Martinez he gets thrown to his back and pinned.
  11. Tip of the cap to Sammy for the courage and toughness in coming back and competing this season. Wish him the best in whatever comes next.
  12. Not sure the step out as adopted for NCAA wrestling would have to use the same (vague-ass) grounded exception. Agree step out rule would benefit Ferrari style and match strategy.
  13. Skeptical of the wisdom of step out points in NCAA wrestling. If it is coming, perhaps limit it to OT to start. Not sure it is better than TB riding time measure, but about the same.
  14. parity is for losers - winners win and don't seek parity
  15. shoulds have a wrestle-off but neither would make weight
  16. Data? Doubt this.
  17. Doubt it. Hasn't it always been the case of a few magnet programs dominating - even if PSU only joined that crowd with Cael and his team coaching?
  18. Jordan Leen employed neutral from the knees very well and I think in some of his most competitive matches there may have been some stall calls. But my memory is not sharp as to the match or specifics of the calls. Watching yesterday reminded me of Leen and of course AJ.
  19. better than this year? How good is Ryder?
  20. Probably ?! But PSU is so deep at 174 and 184 that maybe Barr goes 197, particularly if he is as effective in the post season as his regular season suggests. This suggestion is not based on any insider or actual knowledge - just a wild ass guess. 197 and 285 seems to be the weights where PSU does not have quite the same depth from what I can tell from the cheap seets. Also may be good idea to add another weight class and shuffle the weights and this may impact lineups.
  21. Hurtful. PSU is hurting at 133. Not even a #1 or #2 ranking. The cupboard is bare. Ono notices and does the honorable thing!
  22. ESPN+ wrestling announcenrs - so bad I just turn the sound down
  23. 2nd ish? Ceiling is 2nd. Iowa should be content with 2nd as its ceiling, if it is being realistic.
  24. I assume PSU uses an AI model to mine all of the wisdom from the intermat college wrestling forum and other similar august collections of old wrestler wisdom. But don't tell the other programs as this is the real secret to their success!
