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).

Moments involved him.

Classic.

from the Atlantic 10. MAC has been a pretty stable conference that has been gaining fan support. I know that I like watching MAC games and don't feel like they are corrupted. I wonder if UMass is looking for stability in what is going to be a very unstable time for college football.

famous comedian and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm. He always played a guy who was paranoid about his health and various ailments.

Found a bag of old coins while emptying my MIL’s house, one of which is Spanish and dated 1792. I looked on line to see what they were worth, but they ranged in value from only a few dollars to hundreds of dollars, which is not helpful. Can anyone recommend a coin dealer in the Philadelphia area who can take a look at them? Many thanks for all responses. No free samples, sorry.

Absolutely horrible start. Down 13. Iowa shooting 69% as PSU gives up one uncontested layup after another.

Dylan and I will be doing a mailbag episode this week. Drop any and all your questions below about any Penn State or recruiting and we'll answer them on this week's pod!

Football, basketball, whatever it is, we'll answer it.

Was listening to Keystone Sports Network yesterday driving through State College...

Jimmy had an interesting proposition on NIL/Transfer portal, and sought Landon's perspective on his idea as a D1 college football player.

He asked Landon, the number of players, who would opt IN if the collective offered each player 100k per year, for a 3 year contractual commitment to the university, guaranteed to play at that university...+ scholarship for that term of the contract. Versus who would not accept that agreement to essentially become a free agent every year with the opportunity to transfer freely. Basically 85 players x $100k per year equivalent to Franklin's annual salary.

Landon estimated 75-80% of players would make that commitment. Shaking my head as a 60 year old still working hard, that is what is being discussed for 18 year olds...with a scholarship. But that is the state of college football in 2024. Landon is very articulate, sounded like I was listening to a seasoned, on air radio analyst/commentator. Very mature young man, wish he was still playing but he'll move on and have a wonderful career in whichever path life takes him.

It’s time for a new mattress.

For way too many years, I’ve woken up sore AF due to my expensive but shitty-for-me mattress. Why? Because my wife and I have been sleeping on a $3500 king sized Tempurpedic memory foam mattress. The problem is, I’m a stomach sleeper and I sink into the memory foam and my spine is way out of alignment. Truth be told, I might actually be considered a combination sleeper (stomach, side, back), but whoTF knows? Am I tossing and turning so much because I can’t get comfortable in my preferred stomach position? Again, whoTF knows. On the other hand, my wife is a side sleeper, so she loves the memory foam as it contours and supports her body while on her side. But I’ve had enough, and it’s time for a new one.

Oh yah, there’s one more reason to get rid of this abomination of a mattress. It’s absolutely terrible for sex. One of the “benefits” they market with the memory foam mattress is how it doesn’t disturb your partner while sleeping. As one partner tosses or turns in bed, the other doesn’t feel it as the motion doesn’t transition throughout the bed. Well guess what? The negative with that “feature” is the responsiveness of the bed while doing THE deed. Instead of working with you while you are grooving to Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”, the mattress works against you to kill any and all movement. God bless it, if you can’t get it on, how are you supposed to get off!?! For your classic “man on top” positioning, it’s literally like fvcking in quicksand. After a few seconds, your hands are sinking into the foam and you are continuously trying to crawl out of the hole your hands created. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have pet ferrets to help get me out of that quicksand (yes, that was a Beastmaster reference). Anywho, it’s truly a nightmare when it comes to happy fun time. It’s time to move on.

So here are my requirements:
- supportive for her to sleep on her side
- supportive for me to sleep on my stomach
- good responsiveness for pornstar-like sex 😂

And last but not least, it can’t be a Sleep Number bed. For some reason, my wife refuses to get one. She considers them “blow up mattresses”. IDK, maybe she fears my newfound aggressiveness in a new bed will be too much for a sleep number to handle? 😂

Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble gobble!

Hope AK and Franklin take a real look at Beau this year.

Apparently we are going to lose out on 3 top PA St Joseph guys (Sacca, Roy, and Smith). All 3?

I hope this isn't becoming the next St Frances, Baltimore.

Somebody there has it in for us!

I know it's important to help smaller programs and especially smaller programs in PA but it's ridiculous to wrestle the Edinboros and Bucknells of the world. I think PSU needs a yearly dual finale against a decent program like Iowa has with Oklahoma State. What say you?

I know they have an out of conference date with Lehigh but lets get the guys a look at some top level competition outside the Big Ten! For me I'd like to see them have a yearly dual with either Cornell, NC State or Pitt. I know PItt isn't big now but having PSU on their schedule every year would help them bring in better recruits imo.

FYI, I still think they should wrestle a smaller program in the first two weeks.

Please please PLEASE keep your games at the Rec Hall. The atmosphere was electric tonight, night and day compared to the BJC. That is what college basketball is all about.

Are we stating to creep back in the picture for this kid?
