It's not the best time of the day either!

National record in the 1600 from a Butler Area senior.

Links to all preliminary and final heats today and tomorrow, if you happen to be an old track and field fan.

We are now living in a science fiction movie. What a time to be alive. Where will this technology be in 5 years?

The blue blood thread got me thinking about the 1994 team and where it stands among all Big Ten teams since we joined the conference.

There have been four recognized national champions in that span: 1997 Michigan (shared), 2002 Ohio State, 2014 Ohio State, 2023 Michigan. I would presume 1994 Penn State rounds out the 5 champions -- declared or otherwise.

What's your top 5?

2023 Michigan is the only 15-0. 2002 Ohio State was the first to go 14-0 and beat a machine in Miami. 2014 Ohio State arguably was playing better at the end of the year than any team, and 1997 Michigan had the best defense. 1994 Penn State had the best offense of the bunch, and a good case to be the best overall.

(not including Nebraska until they officially joined. Otherwise, 1995 Nebraska runs away with the #1 spot)

NCAA has agreed to allow power 5 schools to share up to around $20 mil in revenue to ALL athletes. One video I heard up to $22 mil. Also the NCAA has to pay $2.7 billion in damages to ALL D1 athletes over a 10 year span going back to 2016.

The $20-22 mil revenue sharing can start as early as fall 2025.

Will this help PSU bridge the gap with NIL? My opinion YES......BUT only to a degree. The revenue sharing gives players a baseline amount.

EX)...We are in a battle for a 5 star D-end. He gets offered a $100k baseline from PSU and Ohio State. PSUs collective offers an extra $75k but OSUs collective offers $300k. Big difference.

Someone made an eight figure donation which brought their lifetime donation to $13.5 million.

That’s Penn State Proud

Class of 2025 running back commit Kiandrea Barker earned an interesting offer today from Arkansas, now why is this interesting? Despite being a native of California, Barker spent a good chunk of his life in Arkansas as he moved to Arkansas during elementary school and played his first two seasons of high school football at Beebe High School, before moving to Texas last season and then was expected to move to Miami Central (FL) this season, but now is back at Beebe.

(UPDATE: Barker will take an OV to Arkansas on June 7th)

Does the team still do them for rule breakers? Article from 2009 about them.

Sadly, no PSU mention. But hey, we can remodel the stadium

Interesting the suit is against coach Napier, a departed administrator who made promises and the "money" man, NOT the University of Florida. Florida has not been happy with Napier's performance, and I see this as an excuse to get rid of Napier without paying off his contract.

Some of you may know that Warren Tischler established Resilite because of the issues he faced from wrestling on horsehair mats.

Official history here:


But what I'm looking for is a wrestler who actually died from them (and this may predate the the modern NCAA era beginning in 1928). As I recall the story , the story was he won a college wrestling championship and was "barnstorming" as a means of livelihood either just after getting married or an anticipation of getting married, and received a nasty abrasion from one of the mats which caused sepsis and killed him at something like 24, just a year or two out of college.

Searching for the account gets a flood of Peyton Robb accounts, I'm wondering if anybody else has ever heard anything about this fellow.

Has anyone heard about this? I think having a pro wrestling league could be great. This has lots of great things, but also some interesting stuff.

Another round of real pro wrestling would be fun. CLAW Wrestling

Someone thinks so

They seemed to have turned it up a notch this year.

While we all wait with baited breath in anticipation for the tourney to start, ... how about a little fun?

I can't help myself, but with each view it gets even better and more classic. The first watch I thought it just so so, but now as senility starts to take hold, it's hilarious and a little sweet, which makes it wife safe.

PS - wrestling value = 0

A company has been formed to perfect head transplants. Yep😵‍💫

Claim they will perfect it in less than ten years. A video of the process all done by robots. NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!

Of course, reconnecting the spinal cord is the big obstacle.

One strange thing is that the article never mentioned NeuroLink. If NeuroLink becomes successful if could be combined with this.

A bizarre new world is coming…..

My son bought an apple vision device yesterday. Really impressive. He let me use it and for instance, it really looks like a rhinoceros is coming right for your lap in 3d. He says it can be used medically by surgeons and for other reasons. Also, it would be fantastic for golf tournaments because I am told that TV does not show the extreme mounding that is part of the Augusta national golf course. For this device you could be right next to a pro golfer hitting a pitch up at 10 foot incline. Definitely not cheap. Currently costs $4,000. For a lot of people it would be worth the $4,000.

Predicted to be the biggest event to ever hit the city.

I was at the very first Three Rivrrs Regatta years ago that the crowd was so huge they shut off access to Point State Park. Crowd for that one day was estimated at 750,000. Was down right crazy!

Possible RBY vs Spencer match
