Does anyone have one of these? A colleague has one at his house and loves it. Saves him time and back pain.


I am considering one for my house. Any feedback from anyone who has one would be appreciated.

post comments, play-by-play, etc here as responses.

Some tough decisions for the coaches to make as who represents PSU at 141 and 165 at the B1G tournament.

141 - Don't know what has happened to Jimmy. He actually looked good in the tOSU match, but since than he has been missing in action. I'd have bet the bank that Jimmy would be our tournament starter, but after the last two starts, you have to give serious consideration to Moss. At the Scuffle Moss had 8.5 points and Jimmy .5 points (don't remember if Jimmy may have been injured), but that is a significant difference. I think whoever Cael starts at the dual championship will be the PSU starter at the B1G tournament; I'm thinking it is Moss.

165 - Almost all discussions on this weight class have centered on either Rasheed or Morelli; nothing on Hammond and yet he scored the post PSU points at the Scuffle in this weight class. Points at the Scuffle were Hammond - 15.5 points, Morelli - 14.5 points and Rasheed 7 points.

I've been a strong supporter of Rasheed, but managing his weight has been a great challenge for him. He has the best potential to score bonus points, but if his opponent gets him to the 3rd period, he is out of gas. I'm sure he is doing all he can to manage his weight, but I think the cut for him is big.

Morelli won the NLO and performed well at the Scuffle. He is not one to score bonus points. He is 1-3 against B1G opponents, although each of those losses have been very close (1 point). Not as exciting a wrestler as Rasheed, but a solid performer.

I'd have liked to see Hammond given a few dual opportunities; his absence from the duals is a good indicator that he is probably out of the running as the tournament starter.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

* Maybe Tom Brands will come over to State College and hold the Big Ten Dual trophy with Cael. Better yet... let them wrestle for it. Winner takes all.

I used to love when people would ask me, "What kind've car do you drive?" I used to say, "A vette!"

Brand new, in 1983, $4995.00. 17 years old and my first taste of freedom. IIRC, I put in a badass Pioneer Sound System. Was the only reason I was able to sell the car (to another teenager in 1987).

Oh, if only those back seats could talk.

Has been taken to his back a few times. Can't tell how close is was to getting pinned.

Corman lost his vote to evict Kane........and as soon as the last vote was announced he jumped up and asked for "reconsideration" of the vote

I think this requires me going down to Alabama to slap Greg Sankey upside the head.

Already looking forward to eating some.

I've only ever had them lightly sauted or deep fried? Any seafood aficionados out there?

A friend of mine owns an Irish pub. The sound system is on a computer which can access just about any song. One night the bartender was playing really awful songs (not intentional, he just happens to have really bad taste when it comes to music). So we decided that everyone (the regulars) should come with a list of what they consider to be the all time worst songs ever written. On a slow night (when it's mainly the regulars) we are going to rotate thru everyone's list and have a night of the worst songs ever. Should be fun. Here's my list but is subject to change, any suggestions?
5. The Jolly Green Giant - the Kingsmen
4. Smokey the Bar - Hank Thompson
3. Sugartown - Nancy Sinatra ( love the Tallahassee reference)
2. Surfing Bird - the Trashmen
1. I am a People - George Jones
And yes, it was hard to keep Yummy, Yummy off the list.

In an earlier thread, the title of the thread suggested that at least Mark Hall and Suriano might make it up for the PS/OSU match as part of the sellout crowd. No where did it say they did or didn't. Does anyone know if either or both of them made it? Thanks in advance.....

I don't begrudge him getting paid for this, as it's no different than the old "I'm going to Disneyland" quotes that were popular a while back.

I was a bit surprised that NATO got most outstanding wrestler. Isn't the #1 kid supposed to beat #4? Not surprised by the BTN crew with their tOSU bias. Who do you think was the most outstanding wrestler on Friday? Give your reasons why in the thread.

I have been a Nico fan for 5 years now. Love how he starts out our matches, high energy, high pace, almost always a guaranteed win. However, it seems like his playbook is understood by 2 or 3 other wrestlers that use his aggressive style against him and do the slide by and counters, late in the 3rd prd. to snatch a close win from him.

What does Nico have to do to turn these close losses to wins and finish at the top of the podium at MSG?

TIA for your constructive insights.

Longest in history

With the commercials.

For me it's, "The Hunt for Red October". I consider this one of the finest book-to-movie translations.

Baldwin really f-ed up not continuing as Jack Ryan

"I would have loved to have seen Montana".

125 - Nico - 3-0
133 - JDJ - 3-3
141 - Jordan - 3-6
149 - Zain (fall) - 9-6
157 - Nolf (MD) - 13-6
165 - Jordan (MD) - 13-10
174 - Nickal - 16-10
184 - Courts - 16-13
197 - Mc - 19-13
HWT - Snyder (TF) - 19-18

I'm picking Nico as the "upset", and JDJ over Conaway as the other upset, and Courts has beaten Cutch every time...but your bonus points will be too much for tOSU.
