Since Dunk requested a thread ...

Isaiah Vance is the returning PA AAA 285 runner-up to Hunter Catka, and the only wrestler Catka did not bonus all year. Heavy favorite to win this year. Borderline top 10 nationally. Won Powerade with a victory over Malvern Prep's Cole Deery (also national top 10) in the finals. Great pickup for Army.

Yesterday Hakeem Jeffries and Alex Wagner, the goonish women from MSNBC waged attacks on Nancy Mace and her efforts to ensure that Rest Rooms are used appropriately which in most rational Individual minds means Men use Men Rest Rooms and Women use Women's Rest Rooms. This has become an issue of the LEFT bc the new Congresswoman Elect Sarah McBride is the first transgender serving in Congress.
Mace has presented legislative bills to protect women in their dedicated Rest Rooms by mandating use of the rest rooms of their birth gender. So, the LEFT predictably goes after Mace with the usual castigations that she is bullying McBride and she is Transphobic. A vicious attack on normalicy and made even more egregious because Mace was a victim of sexual abuse. To Mace's credit she is not backing down and in fact she has said she will double down and die on this issue.
I do hope and expect that Mace will have the full backing of her fellow Congress men and women and the media, other than of course of the Goons at MSNBC and the MSM. Jeffries should be ashamed of himself for his comments about Mace who merely wants to project women, as anyone should!

The annual Cy-Hawk dual is set for Saturday night - BTN+ is the viewing method for those interested

On paper - there are a few good matches if both teams are at full strength ---

Ayala/Frost
Echemendia/Parco
Kueter/Bastida

Can Christian Carroll give Buchanan a worthy match? Upset alert?

thoughts?

(Mod note - this post moved out of the Black Knight thread)


Has anyone heard more on the Scuffle? Okie State is sending a partial team. Thought I heard we may have some participation. Anything concrete? Trying to determine some holiday travel plans

On the pre game show with Steve Jones on Saturday, James Franklin mentioned Wormley actually may have another year. This year the offensive line has been really good, if not vastly underrated. IF, a big IF, Sal came back you would have both tackles and both guards back, you could move Cousins to Center most likely and have one hell of an offensive line next year. Onoh, Jven Williams, Rucci, Boyer, Rulli, Birchmeier, Fitzgerald, Harbour, Sexton would be great depth depending on who/how many stay.

They beat the Jets, but it was only by a score of 32-19. Those pansies from San Francisco (er, Santa Clara) need to get it going. Hopefully, they can clean things up next week against the Rams. Getting McCaffrey back might help.

You can see where several Penn State Wrestling Greats got their cradle from.

Happened a few hours ago at practice. Torn Achilles. Huge loss.

By the way if this happens at PSU, we get no information and stories about visiting his home.

musician/artist thinks the interviewer/influencer calls her a "magician".

Lets see how long we can make this thread last until they have to nuke it!

I give it to the SEC--they know what they want and they are retelentless and shameless in going after it. Even in the face of 8 conference games (vs 9 in B10), several of them not playing any opponents from the other major conferences, and bad losses by their top teams (Tenn vs Arkansas, Bama vs Vandy, and Ole Miss vs Kentucky and LSU), they want at least 5 if not 6 spots in the CFP.

Over the past few weeks but especially increased this past week, SEC folks and their media supporters have been playing up their conference while simultaneously dumping on the B10 but specifically PSU and Indiana. I get the criticism on Indiana which is in part on their lack of any historical success and their strength of schedule but outside of Michigan, they have beaten everyone by 14+ points and rank 5th in game control and 2nd in Average In-Game Win Probability (a data point that ESPN uses). Our schedule is 35th in the country, higher than Oregon, Texas, Indiana, BYU, Miami, and Notre Dame. We have one close loss to the #2 team. But I've heard Pat Forde, Finebaum, etc all crap on us and push other contenders. Has anyone been advocating for us? I mean that as an honest question.

I realize the obvious answer to that is the B10 should be but many of us feel the B10 will protect 2 programs at a greater intensity than the other members. And maybe they are advocating behind closed doors but the barrage of talking heads hyping up SEC's placement in the CFP will push those opinions into a perceived reality for many (perhaps, including those in CFP selection committee).

Your thoughts on this growing slogan “Your body, my choice”.

The fact that our obscenely corrupt government still won’t come clean regarding the Truth about who was really behind the JFK assassination over 60yrs after the fact tells u exactly how corrupt our obscenely corrupt government really, truly is!

Blue State’s in today’s America are especially mind-numbing to me due to how these truly braindead people can continue to vote for obscenely corrupt democrats over, & over, & over again! It’s infuriating, & mind-numbing to me exactly how braindead voters are in these obscenely corrupt blue state’s!

Fired Head Coach, OSU pedigree, Philly Inquirer recommends dropping program.

America can only hope so.

For a country that seems evenly divided over politics and polarized about many cultural issues, a durable majority does agree about one thing: They don’t like the Biden presidency.

And despite the machinations that resulted in President Joe Biden’s not being on the ballot this election season, his unpopularity is still the mood music of this election.

From his border policy to the economy he has been presiding over to turmoil overseas, there isn’t a lot about the Biden years that voters love in this moment. It’s why former President Donald Trump has basically a 50-50 chance to return to the White House, just four years after voters fired him.

Of course, the reason Trump’s chances aren’t greater than 50-50 is that Democrats finally read the room and switched candidates from Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris. Bottom line: It’s clearer now in hindsight — and perhaps it would have been regardless of that ill-fated debate performance — that Biden simply didn’t have a winning hand to run on. All he had was harnessing backlash over Jan. 6 and abortion, and while both issues do resonate with a significant chunk of the electorate, those two issues alone couldn’t get him to the finish line.

But while Biden isn’t on the ballot anymore, voters are certainly feeling his presence. If there’s one thing it’s clear they don’t want, it’s a candidate who reminds them of Biden.

from having to play in the Big 10 Championship game:

"The only way Penn State could meet Oregon in the title game is if the Nittany Lions win out, Indiana loses to Ohio State and Purdue while the Buckeyes lose to Michigan, or Indiana loses to Ohio State, beats Purdue and the cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents for Penn State is higher than Indiana's (provided Ohio State still loses to Michigan)."

Anyone own any Truth Social stock?

This is Great Britain but it is widespread and coming here. Canada is nuts. West Coast states. Blue cities.
