This team is fun to watch!

Has anybody done the math for B10's, assuming we get 0 now at 174? I know the tournament is always tighter than NCAA's. Does this give Iowa a chance to catch us?

Expect this one to go elsewhere, which shouldn't be too surprising given where PSU stands on other receivers right now.

Liar.

Fraud.

I know this is early but wanted to run the numbers. The next set of coaches rankings and RPI should be out next week.

Disclaimer: I used wrestlestat which does a RPI calculation using the same formula as the NCAA. However he calculates RPI for anyone with 5 matches. I know a wrestler needs 15 to count officially. I’m listing name, school, win %, CR and RPI for each weight. Also, I used the starters listed in wrestlestat so some of these could change. Lastly, every conference gets at least one AQ per weight and the most AQ’s at a weight is 29. Some of these guys that meet 2 of 3 may not get an AQ at the end of the year.

Should there be a salary cap on NIL?

I'm going to a concert in Lancaster next week. Never been before so asking the group for some info.

Show is at Freedom Hall, which I guess in the convention center?? Anyone been to a show there? Seated? SRO? Adult beverages for sale? Any other need to know info about venue?

Any can't miss bars or restaurants nearby? I'm thinking Lancaster Brewing for before the show and "DipCo" (Lancaster Dispensing Company) for after (seems like one of the few spots open late on a Tuesday).

Any/all suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello all! So quick life update, my sisters and I have changed our last name to O’Leary to honor our step-dad who’s been in our lives for a very long time and made us who we are today. Long overdue.

Going forward my legal name will now be Richie O’Leary!

Battle of the two best college wrestling Schools in History is coming up!

My predictions:

125- Ayala dec Spratley 3-0
133- Fix mdec Teske 3-4
141- Woods dec Jamison 6-4
149- Voinovich dec Williams 9-4
157- Franek dec Travis 12-4
165- Caliendo dec Olejnik 15-4
174- Kennedy dec Thompson 18-4
184- Plott mdec Riggins 18-8
197- Glazier dec Surber 21-8
HWT- Doucette dec Hill 21-11

Some good individual matchups here that could go either way.
125, 149, 165, 197 and possibly 184 and HWT if Arnold and Keuter wrestle. I always look forward to this dual every year. Big rivalry!

This is one of the best matchups of the season. 125, 149, 165, 174, and 197 all could go either way and all have really intriguing matchups (Spratley vs Ayala is one I'm looking really forward to). Even 141 and 157, which are two weights that should favor Iowa, will be competitive. I'll take a 5-5 split of the matches and give a point or two edge to Ok St based on bonus potential at 133 and 184 (if Riggins).
