pretty much all of what Hollywood puts out today is nothing but garbage. Most of what we hold up today as acting icons, to use a sports phrase, couldn't hold Spencer Tracy's jock.

Rumor on the ISU board is that he asked for his release and has a short list of Penn State, Minnesota and North Carolina State. Looks like he projects 149-157.

Most national champions are pretty much on the radar for a long time - from youth wrestling on.

One guy I coached against at the junior high level who I didn't see coming was Indiana's Joe Dubuque, a champ in 2005 and 2006. He was a really good wrestler, but unlike some other kids who we all thought would become state contenders, he didn't hit me that way. He won two NJ titles and I was a little surprised.

But a two-time NCAA champion? I never would have predicted that.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Rolls left ankle, defaults, post-season in doubt. 6-0 OSU

Hearing that new rules for Fraternities have been announced in the past hour and some/many of the fraternity members are going to limit participation or even boycott Thon this weekend.

From a family member so there could be some errors:
1) All spring pledging is discontinued...no one to become a brother in spring semester
2) Any parties must be registered with IFC (Professional Bartenders must be the servers of drinks)
IFC to be on site at parties
3) Beta to not be recognized for at least 5 years......
4) Not so much greek related, but a Beta member has been charged with distribution of weed and has been held on a $250 K bail.
5) Hard Alcohol Banned / If there is alcohol on site, must be poured by registered bartender.
6) Parents weekend to be cancelled


I am sure that I am missing other aspects of the changes enacted due to the death at Beta last week. Sure to put a damper on the excitement level at Thon.

It does appear that the timing of this was scheduled to occur just before Thon to get washed out by the positive press of the Dance Marathon.

I am sure that there are details that I have gotten wrong, or have left out of the email......I have a sophomore daughter reporting this to me as she is setting up the Bryce Jordan Center for the Thon.

More news to come.

Are we witnessing the best ever in Spencer Lee?
or has there been someone else better?

More charges reintroduced to throw against the wall.

Conspiracy charge added against Penn State ex-administrators
MARK SCOLFORO, The Associated Press Published: February 23, 2017, 4:03 pm Updated: February 23, 2017, 4:12 pm


HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania judge on Thursday allowed prosecutors to add a conspiracy charge against three former Penn State administrators, increasing their possible penalty if convicted of crimes for their handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.

Judge John Boccabella granted a request by the attorney general’s office to tack on a related conspiracy count to the charges of endangering the welfare of children.

Prosecutors said each felony count carries up to 7 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

Jury selection is scheduled for March 20 in Harrisburg in the case of former university president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley.

The defendants sought permission last week from Boccabella for an appeal that could delay the trial. The judge has not ruled on that request.

They argue Boccabella erred when he declined to dismiss the child-welfare charges, arguing the statute of limitations expired, the defendants did not provide direct care for children and they are charged with actions that occurred before the law was revised.

Earlier this month, the judge dismissed charges of failing to properly report suspected abuse, and last year the Superior Court threw out perjury, obstruction and conspiracy charges.

The three administrators fielded a complaint in 2001 from a graduate assistant who said he saw Sandusky, then retired as an assistant football coach, sexually abusing a boy in a team shower.

They did not report the matter to police or child welfare authorities, but did tell Sandusky he could no longer bring children to the campus and they notified his charity for children, The Second Mile.

Sandusky currently is serving a lengthy state prison term after being convicted in 2012 of 45 counts of sexual abuse of 10 boys.

Last week, a new judge appointed to preside over his appeals under the state’s Post-Conviction Relief Act scheduled a March 24 hearing at the courthouse near State College to “present and finalize the evidentiary portion” of the hearing.

question - in Nolf's match vs Smith Jason used his foot pushing heavily on Smith's single leg hand grip then the head. Jason broke Smith's hold and secured the takedown. Do not see others use their feet in this manner... especially to head. If legal wondering why more don't use it
Thanks for educating me

Wrestling and WVB. BTN has piqued my interest, never realized there is so much strategy. Was always a football/basketball guy but the intensity of Wrestling and WVB has me on the edge of my lounger rooting. I'm sure top quality coaching helps. Still haven't adapted to Ice Hockey, possibly because Slap Shot is my favorite movie (just kidding).

Wow, very interesting stuff here. What a mess the world was (and is).
I see a movie deal!!!

Curious to know if anyone knows (or has heard) if Mark Hall & Gable Stevenson are close friends? I'm sure Hall will try to get him to PSU.

Two days short of 95.

Wouldn't it be simpler if the whole world was on the same time? I get the idea that in China they might have sunrise at 6 pm for example, but you could just have different times for when things occur in different places. Plus all this daylight savings stuff doesn't make any sense. People will still get up when the sun rises and go to bed after it sets no matter what time you choose to call it. And of course you would never have to adjust your watch when you travel. Is this crazy?

This is my first post, but I have been reading many wrestling boards for a couple of years. This was over on HR and I have no idea what it is talking about! Any clarification, or is it more "slush fund" and jealousy talking...
"Now, there are some real questions and loop holes with financial assistance being offered to wrestlers competing during a grey shirt or a red shirt year from an organization that supports "the sport," but only seems to support wrestlers that are competing for a certain school...cough cough...Penn State...cough cough. We will see the NCAA making some official policy regarding that situation quite soon. Penn State will not get in any trouble or be punished, but you can tell by Cael's comments that he is uncomfortable discussing the topic and even nervous. According to the current administrators what is going on is not against the rules. However, most people recognize that this is a loophole and the NCAA will be closing this loophole soon. I am surprised Iowa, Ohio State, and Oklahoma State's boosters aren't taking advantage while it is still open. Although, I understand why they delayed, as it could have easily be interpreted as a serious violation resulting in serious sanctions and devastate a program's future."

Do you guys see Nick staying at 125 for the foreseeable future, or does he eventually bump to 133?

Extremely impressed with this kid. I couldn't believe how well put together he was first time I saw him on TV, much more muscular than I expected.

Being an tOSU fan, I know what it's like following a 125 who loves to lift and carry a lot of muscle... How much is Nick walking around at, is he cutting much at all now to make weight, if at all?

As a fan, I'm also asking if he could potentially out grow 125 because of the future, raw potential the 125 class has nationally the next couple years, in particular Spencer Lee and Daton Fix.

Do you guys for see Nick staying at 125 and battling it out with these two? Or do you see him bumping up to 133? I know you have Nick Lee waiting there at 133 too, if I'm not mistaken.

Lastly, will Nick take his redshirt? If I'm a PSU fan, and the potential of Nick moving up is there because he won't end up being a 125 for his entire career, I could selfishly (as an hypothetical fan of PSU and Nick) see Nick wrestling 125 the rest of this season and next, and then bumping up to 133 his junior year. Common sense tells me this would be his easiest path to being a multi time champ, as both Lee and Fix are likely to redshirt next season, and Tomasello, Clark etc will be graduated come Nick's 3rd year.

Now trust me I know it's not in Penn State's nor this kid's DNA to avoid or duck anybody, and I have no doubt in my mind Nick could still be a multi champ at 125 if he stays.

The easier path though is without question going to be at 133, so it's the reason I ask if PHYSICALLY... Is Nick a career 125 pounder?

Last thing I'd like to add is if he still plans on taking his redshirt, the ideal time to do so would probably be after next season, that is if he were to bump to 133 the next following. But those chances of he red shirting Nolf and Nickal's senior seasons are next to none. Could see both Nick and Hall taking their shirt the season after the Big 2 graduate?

I know as a fan of the sport overall, I would love and hope Nick remains a 125 his entire career, along with Lee and Fix, and I get to witness those battles for the years to come.

Sorry for the post length! Interested in hearing some of your guys feelings on it though...?

At the beginning of the season the BTN posed the question: which program reemerges sooner, Nebraska or PSU. The vote was unanimous: Nebraska! Gary Denardo lead the charge. He gave such nonsense as recruits now having a stipend for family travel to games played out in the middle of nowhere (Lincoln). As you know I've been one of Franklin's staunchest critics but at the time (August) I knew it was complete hogwash. Fast forward to today. Nebraska out recruits every team in the BT West and yet doesn't have a banner hanging from the rafters of Lucas Oil Field. It got humiliated by Tennessee. I believe 2017 if not, 2018, represents the death rattle for Nebraska football. If Riley doesn't turn it around soon it might be too big a hole from which to dig out. Especially given the emergence of Minnesota.The clock is ticking.
