Honestly, I think in hindsight, this "matchup of the century" or whatever isn't going to seem all that competitive. Parker is a good wrestler, no doubt. Carter is just better. I'm not predicting bonus points (though I wouldn't be dumbfounded if it ended a major w/ the 3pt TD), but still. I guess we'll see.

The CCGs are the fly in the ointment.

I saw a prediction that the Big Ten could end with four 8-1 teams this year. One of those teams could get knocked out of the playoff with a CCG loss...while the other two get in while sitting at home on CCG weekend. Or...at the very least, those two teams could get home playoff bids ((seeds 5-8) while the CCG loser gets bounced down to seed 9-12 and has to travel AGAIN two weeks after the CCG.

It could be a mess.

Could be though I think all 4 teams get in using that scenario unless Indiana is the loser of the CCG.

It's going to be interesting but CCGs definitely need to be dropped IMO

can't wait to see how this all plays out and what issues come up lol

The afterglow of Saturday is finally fading a bit, and like most of you, I'm analyzing our chances after the bye and beyond. And history tells us to be afraid of PSU's performance in this very position.

2017--Lose heartbreaker in Columbus. Hardly drop in the polls, but we go to a less talented #24 MSU team the next week, endure an ungodly storm delay, and fritter the game away. Most talented Franklin team wasted.

2018--Lose heartbreaker to OSU in Happy Valley. Get a bye. Come out flat after a bye week against unranked MSU team and lose again. No more top 10 ranking that season for us...

2019--8-0 and ranked #3 in the country. Coming off bye week, we travel to #17 Minnesota and lay an egg.

2021--start a solid 5-0 and ranked #4. Travel to #3 Iowa and lose a heartbreaker. Bye week...and come home and lose the worst game in PSU history, 9OT against a terrible Illinois team.

Three AWFUL performances that wasted our potential for the season coming right after a bye week...and all four seasons saw us lose to teams we should have beaten. I hope Franklin has learned from these trials and is determined to keep his players sharp physically and mentally because this road game to Wisconsin is by far our biggest TRAP game of the season

Exactly, the unfortunate history is laid bare. Team needs to be reminded what happens when focus is lost.

I used to have a major problem with coaches recruiting after comitments and kids flipping. But, if a school can pull the rug out from under a kid (Campbell the latest), and coaches can break contracts without penalty, then why are kids held to a higher standard? The institutions and adults are be setting the example/standard - the kids are just catching up.

I'd prefer it to be different, but wish in one hand...

This kind of reminds me of the meretricious mercenaries that ascend the corporate ladder all the way to the C-Suite by going from one gig to another while complaining about a lack of employee commitment, engagement and loyalty. ( While we whistle past the graveyard by checking out this website.)

This picture reminds me of a funny (not so funny) story of when I was in college. When I was at the University of Wyoming in the summer we ran camps. One of our assistant coaches who was a 3 time AA, 1 time runner-up was teaching a bunch at the camp. For fun after a session he had everyone play dodgeball. We played a lot in our college practices and this coach who weighed around 190 had an absolute cannon. He won most of the games. Anyways, this camp has all ages from like 7-8 up to high school senior. Coach is just drilling kids left and right. Game is going on for a bit and there is a young kid around 10-11 still in and Coach just absolutely fires one at him. Drills the kid square in the face. Blood everywhere and broke the kids nose. Pretty sure he got in a tiny bit of trouble but if that happened now it would be a different story.

Recruiting other team's commits

Sounds like the Wrestling Community needs a semantic reset:
1. "Commitment" means zero. There's no such thing, literally.

In the past there existed a distinction between a Verbal Commitment (or, my favorite, the hilarious Oral Commitment) that was intended to pair with a Written Commitment, via the National Letter of Intent, but the National Letter of Intent was just disbanded the other week.

2. "Signed" means zero. Signed what? A financial loan package issued from the school?

3. "Recruiting" means ALL THE ****ING TIME.

4. "Free Agent" means all D1 athletes, see #3

5. "Consequences" means whining, by online denizens like us, or by former wrestlers or current coaches. The only possible change to this is if the Yianni's & Lee Pritts of the wrestling community decide to change the game and name names. But even then, what are any possible consequential fallouts?

6. "Shame" does not exist. Why try to use it here?

Why is it Ivy Leaguers are such whiners?

Yanni should call HR and take a mental health day, maybe file a grievance for Nittany Supremacist macroagression.

Maybe they have a comfort blanket and hot chocolate (with marshmallows).

USC Game Environment

psuro
No Sandusky references. Not a one. USC fans were great before, during and after the game. Stadium is huge, and although USC has been playing there since 1923, it does not seem like it was really designed with football in mind. The lighting of the torch was nice. Taking the E-Line from Culver City was easy, and it was a very short walk to the stadium - through the museum property. Tailgates inside the campus were a bit different - I thought Campus looked very nice. But I am sure it is a facade.

Did not see any celebs, but I probalby wouldn't know any except for Will Ferrell anyway.

Other instances in college football where teams sometimes take a penalty to gain an "advantage" - defensive pass interference when the play is farther than 15 yards downfield. Rather than risk more yardage, or a TD, interfere with the receiver and take the 15 yards and the 1st down.
Click to expand...
Another one is when a defender is about to "kill" your QB, grab on to him and hold on for dear life. Better to take a holding penalty than lose your QB to injury. This is probably quite common and I am sure many coaches instruct their OL to do this.

So if you go off the AP 25 this week does that mean Boise State is in? They are the highest ranked team at #15 outside the Power 4 conferences. This assumes they are the conf champ of the Mountain West of this was an end of the season playoff ranking post CCGs.
Click to expand...
Yes, and most likely it'll be the 12 seed that goes to the G5's top rated conference champ. So Boise State would go to #5 Georgia on Dec. 21. And #12 Notre Dame would miss the playoff.

I'm with you until the last part. I fully support a 24 team playoff with all conference winners getting an auto spot while eliminating conference title games. FCS does it successfully. Unless FBS breaks into subdivisions then 12 works for me.

I just want more meaningful games honestly. March Madness is one of the best events for a reason.

MAGAs please explain in detail how tariffs are paid by the exporter of goods

2lion70
It's eveident Felon/geezer Trump has no idea what he is talking about in relation to his proposed tariffs. He keeps falsely claiming they will be paid by the government of the exporter. What authority does the US Government (any government) have to impose a tax on another government?

Be specific, use data, maybe even quote from an Economics text. Do whatever you think is required to set the record straight - make sure to keep you answer in reality.
