Dave Jones did not Vote For Barkley for Heisman! Shocked! Not!

Poor Barkley can't even get the homer vote, because our homer is an Ohio State Grad, who generally has a bias against PSU. So maybe Barkley really deserved to 4th, but he should at least get the homer vote! Notre Dame guys vote for Notre Dame Guys! West coast guys vote for USC guys! You would think we could get at least the hover vote here! Why Pennlive continues to have him as a PSU writer is beyond me. Worst PSU reporter I have ever seen!

I don't often eat big breakfasts but if I am up a few hours beforehand, like yesterday, I like to go whole hog, so to speak, and do the eggs, hash browns, toast, and some sort of meat. Yesterday I went for the scrapple, having not done that in probably a year or so, and was served two large pieces - more than I could finish. So it got me wondering if next time out, I should order another option. Often I'm happy enough to go meatless in favor of a mushroom omelette or some such item, but since this is a football board I figured we have enough carnivores here for a good poll. What say you posters?

edit - don't know how to remove "probably" from the title of the poll, sorry about that and the other typos.

Grand Canyon vacation...

Hey board, I got great advice for my Yellowstone vacation here so I’m going to use you again for a trip I’m going to take my family (teenage kids) on this summer. I’m thinking about flying into LA or LV then hit Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Zion. What else should we see while In that area? Restaurants? Good places to stay? Stuff i won’t find on the map? Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Pitt wants to sign Narduzzi to extension and raise

Just because.

Pitt: Head coach Pat Narduzzi and Pitt are working on a new 7-year contract with a salary increase and bump for his assistant coaches pool, per tweet from Pete Thamel. Narduzzi is 21-17 overall leading the program, including a win a few years ago against top-ranked Clemson as well as an undefeated Miami team this season. Narduzzi went 8-5 his first two seasons, and then 5-7 last year.

Post Mortem of the Lehigh Match...

...after letting all the hype settle I have concluded that the match unfolded about as might have been expected, but only after taking into account the backups that came into play...
126 - Cruz heavily favored and delivered 6 team points for Lehigh...
133 - 3rd ranked Parker would have been the favorite vs Keener but became a heavy favorite vs Giannangeli, making his initial varsity dual meet apprearance. Dominic was wrestling well until he got taken to his back from neutral and pinned. Lehigh another 6 points...
141- a toss up match decided by Cortez's inability to escape Karam's known ability to ride with legs and Cortez's inability to secure a TD...
...after those first 3 bouts Penn State was down 15-0, reminiscent of the Okie State match last year...
...similarly at 149 and 157 Zain and Jason came through with a fall and TF and PS was climbing out of the hole of a now 15-11 deficit , knowing they needed to win 4 of the last 5 bouts to win the meet...
...at 165 a very game 149 #er Bo Pipher subbed for NCAA champion Joseph ... knowing that every team point would be crucial he kept his focus and surrendered only a 4 point major...
...Lehigh's two best upperweights -Kutler and Preisch - were next up at 174 and 184 ... Lehigh felt possibly one of them would win... Preisch was leading Hall last year 3-1 late in their open match until Hall converted a cement-mixer and got the fall... Kutler is a similar tree- trunk tough style of wrestler but this year it appeared they were going to play the waiting game ... keep the matches close and hope to get a late score to win ... the strategy did not work and they both lost 2-3 decisions... team score now 17-19 with 2 bouts left...
197- a second toss up ... Lehigh's RS freshman vs untested Cassar ... a mat wrestler vs a free style wrestler... when Lehigh chose down in the 3rd period he had to escape and get TDs to win... instead he got taken down twice and lost 8-3...
285- Nevills stepped up and won a very workmanlike 2-0 decision, highlighted by a smothering 3rd period rideout...
... a hard fought 23-19 win under some very trying and unexpected circumstances... well done!!!!...
..."All's well that ends well!...

PSU - Lehigh Match Thread

I hope to be able to do PBP, but I can't promise that I'll be able to do so. I'm juggling a few things today, and don't control all aspects of my schedule.

A free audio stream of Ironhead's PBP is available at:

http://www.gopsusports.com/collegesportslive/?media=565448

Pre-match coverage should start at 1:40 pm EST

A free video stream of the Patriot League Network's coverage is availabe at:

https://watchstadium.com/live/penn-state-at-lehigh/

My plan was to be in attendance for today's dual, but alas, the uncertainty with my schedule prevented that.

Have fun discussing the matches. If I'm able to do PBP I'll indicate as much around the start of the dual.
