Was the "evidence" that a bunch of Central PA hillbillys "remembered" that they were abused after a therapist had to try and use repressed memory therapy on them, after the same attorney told them they could get paid millions of dollars? Then the AG's office steered their testimony? Some of them were also on record before the witch hunt saying that JS was a great man, a father figure and continued having a relationship with him into adulthood.

Correct.

That is exactly what happened with Sandusky, without any evidence whatsoever.

I would say 3 spots for 5 world class wrestlers, but 4 if James does indeed "defer" a year by not enrolling this upcoming school year. There has also been some talk about Levi Haines getting another year, but that is just conjecture at the moment. Also, Cole and Connor Mirasola have the same eligibility, both will be RS Sophs (in the current world of eligibility).

The 157 - 165 - 174 weights at PSU will be really interesting to see how it plays out. If MM does stay at 165, who will be the starter at 157 between PJ Duke, Tyler Kasak, and even Joe Sealey? If one of them moves up 1 or 2 weight classes, then someone will also be out between Jayden James and Will Henckel. Crazy to think that some of those guys will not be in a starting lineup.

Has there ever been a scenario that could be playing out in Happy Valley, with 2 high level wrestlers (both AA candidates) battling it out for the starting spot at HWT, and they happen to be twin brothers?

Surprised Iowa didn't have a longer streak in the decades prior. Looks like PSU will pass Iowa's longest streak of having at least 1 individual NCAA Champion this year.

PSU only has 3 seniors, I believe, and one of them is Levi Haines. I would have thought that they would at least have put Lucas Cochran in the lineup at HWT for the meet. The other senior is a transfer Graduate student that has never wrestled in a dual.

That 18.5 was coming from Betonline.ag Apparently Draft Kings was 16.5.

Current point spread is PSU -18.5. Won't be close

Time to go...

I was thinking the same thing. So funny, some of the lightweights are barely over 5'0".

15-20 minute drive to the WF Center (easy back and forth with an Uber or a car) is the Marriott Courtyard in the 'burbs, just a thought, and has a nice bar, both in the hotel and next door at the Springfield Country Club. Nice option away from the city. Courtyard Philadelphia Springfield - Hotel Near PHL Airport

Can someone ask Jackson Turley to shave his hair off for the postseason? What is he thinking??

Very true, I will, knowing the truth.

That's irrelevant to the debate. Do you ever refer to other tournaments as Nationals, or Regionals or NCAAs or the Olympics? Of course no one is referring to said wrestler as the "States" Champ, just like no one calls so and so the Nationals Champ, or Districts Champ, etc.

If you will refer to any of the other tournaments in their shortened name (National Championships to Nationals or NCAAs, or Regional Championships to Regionals or Regions, District Championships to Districts, etc.) but you think "States" is wrong when referring to the State Championships, then you are being very inconsistent in your thought process. Of course you call the wrestler the State Champion, and you can certainly call the tournament the State Tournament or State Championships, that is not the debate here.

No one is disputing any of that.

As long as you realize and admit that the folks that say “State” are being oddly inconsistent and by all accounts, they are wrong.

That's not relevant. It's the nomenclature that is tied to the shortened nickname of the various tournaments. States is short for the State Wrestling Championships just like Nationals or NCAAs is short for the National Wrestling Championships, and Districts, Regionals, etc. They all work the same. How many classifications or any of that nonsense has no bearing. It seems odd that it's almost universally accepted to use Nationals, Worlds, NCAAs, Olympics, etc., but for some reason it doesn't make sense for people in certain states around the country to call their respective State Wrestling Tournament "States".
