This will be an interesting weekend at 125. With 1 Big Ten loss, Barnett takes on both McKee and Ayala. Davis, also with 1 Big Ten loss, faces Smith.

At 133, Nagao has 2 Big Ten losses, and VanDee just 1.

Hardy has 1 Big Ten loss; who gets #1 if he wins?

Truax and Pinto each have 1 Big Ten loss.

Who ya got in the Rutgers dual?

Will be a dog fight between the TE's and the WR's to impact the two TE sets vs three WR sets....

I know there was a Samoan OL a few years back but I am not sure where he was from. I think Vega is from Washington.

PSU just got a CB for a kid from Hawaii. I doubt he is coming here but he is visiting. The On3 site gives points simply for visiting so he got the CB. Also visiting UW and Nebraska.

It's that time of year and Thon needs your support. Still the largest student run philanthropy. My first time watching it was in the White Building and dancers had to raise their own money, usually through a pledge based on the number of hours the couple could dance. If one partner dropped out, both were out.

Here we go, getting down to the nitty gritty of the season with the Bucknuts followed by the Schlockeyes a week later. I'm thinking we see a full-strength squad except for Kasak who could be going to Edinbory to get some more matches at 149. Here's how I see it:

Davis maj. McCrone 4-0 His top game + 3 pt takedowns can get hiin a win with two takedowns, a good ride and an escape

Nagao dec. Bouzakis 7-0 -Bouzakis is going to get worked on bottom

Bartlett dec. Mendez 10-0- Beau is at his best when guys attack at a high pace, Mendez comes hard but that plays into Beau's hands

D'Emilio dec. Evans 10-3- If Kasak is here we could be looking at a shutout

Haines maj. Wilcok 14-3- Haines is ramping up, bonuses for the next coupleweeks

Mesenbrink tech, Hepner 19-3- I have a hard time picking a pin here but it could easily happen

SuperStarocci maj Welsh 24-3- I'm changing my initial prediction to a pin, the kid is going into the lions den and CStarr is the guy who is going to perform the baptism by fire

Truax maj. Shumate 28-3 Bernie seems to have picked up and should handke shumate easily

Brooks- I'm leading toward a pin now, he's gonna rough this guy up and Daniel Greg will do the same at 285

Kerk maj. Feldman 36-3

65kg- Bartlett, Levine, Kasak
74kg- Facundo, Barraclough
86kg- Truax, Ball
125kg- Kerk

A few previously registered. Nasdeo, Rodriguez, McIntosh, Dean and Aarif Asif?

Also, Lilledahl, Sealey, and the Mirasola's.

I've been parking near the bus terminal for going on 10 years. So have a lot of wrestling fans. Never once has anyone ever come back from the match with a parking ticket. Until today that is. Every car in the lot had a $50 ticket courtesy of PSU. A warning would have been nice. There are exactly ZERO no parking signs around. Is anyone else in the same boat today?

Anyone else?

Florida State's Doak Campbell Stadium currently undergoing renovations. Beaver Stadium's west side construction starts when?

If I were the AD Kraft, I’d be very disappointed with the performances of most of PSU’s teams in 2023-2024. There just has been so little success.

Parsons 37 points 16 rebounds mvp. They were afraid of him lol

My current personal e-mail is overwhelmed with spam. I am looking at new options and am leaning towards Proton Mail. Does anyone have any experience with this platform?

Pitt football fans are the most delusional in all of sports. Pitt football in proper perspective:

Excluding HVI and ON3

(Slow news night)

According to the new roster from Penn State today, linebacker Abdul Carter has been moved to defensive end.

One thing is crystal clear to me. My pre season prediction is coming true before our very eyes.

The team best positioned to benefit from the new role is PSU.

We out-takedown every opponent in every dual, by a wide margin. Bonus victories are far easier to attain.

I believe that our team will set a record for bonus points in this year's Nationals. GIA will start calling for the return to the old ways soon enough.

The Major is the new decision, and the Tech is the new major. I keep underestimating our kids in KYPSW. Not knowing whether to predict a major or a tech is a pretty sweet burden to face.

March 29 is the day Cortez Mills plans on being in Happy Valley. PSU of course also made his top group, just announced
