Projected Big 10 NCAA Pre-Allocated Spots

A wrestler who meets 2 out of 3 criteria (70% or greater win %, top 30 coaches rank, or top 30 RPI) will earn a pre-allocated spot for his conference. Wrestlers then can earn an automatic qualifying spot at NCAA's by finishing high enough in their conference tourney. For example, if the Big 10 has 8 pre-qualifying spots at a weight, the top 8 finishers in the conference tourney will earn a berth to NCAA's. A wrestler earning a pre-qualifying spot for the conference tourney doesn't guarantee that wrestler a spot at NCAA's, they still have to finish high enough at the conference tourney or get awarded an at-large bid. Below shows the pre-allocated spots right now based on results through Feb 14.

Willie's Crystal Ball for 2025

First..I LOVE Willie..
2nd..I believe Willie was drinking too many Coors Banquet with some of his PSU takes..I love it

PSU has 3 returning champs..two returning finalists, etc..we all know what we have coming back

In Willie's Crystal Ball..PSU only ends with 2 champs (drunk take)..Messenbrink/Kerk

Picking against 4 timer..drunk (can it happen? Sure anything can, cmon Willie)
No PSU even making round of 16 at 197..drunk


The rest of his PSU picks were fine..just thought these 2 were funny and his way of trolling. Love ya Willie, but lay off the beer.

Willie's PSU picks

Luke.3
Davis round 12
Beau 3
Van Ness 2
Kasak 3
MM 1
Levi 2
Carter 2
Barr..no where to be found
Kerk 1

What did Barr do to Willie? 14-0 redshirt coming off World Silver at U20..yeah right.

Funniest thing is Basch, texted Barr before the show and told him Willie didn't pick him anywhere and where does he see himself..his reply 197 National Champ!

Great show boys!

Football Trace McSorley Joins Penn State Football In Offensive Analyst Role

Pat Kraft teased at THON tonight that Trace McSorley could be coming back to the program. Not that you need our confirmation when the head man is teasing it but did hear from sources yesterday that McSorley and the program are working on adding him to the staff. Unsure what role.

Also sounds like Matt McGloin may be moving to Boston to join BOB's coaching staff.

RIP Roberta Flack at 88

A great voice and entertainer.

Little known before her early 30s, Flack became an overnight star after Clint Eastwood used “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face” as the soundtrack for one of cinema’s more memorable and explicit love scenes, between the actor and Donna Mills in his 1971 film “Play Misty for Me.” The hushed, hymn-like ballad, with Flack’s graceful soprano afloat on a bed of soft strings and piano, topped the Billboard pop chart in 1972 and received a Grammy for record of the year.
“The record label wanted to have it re-recorded with a faster tempo, but he said he wanted it exactly as it was,” Flack told The Associated Press in 2018. “With the song as a theme song for his movie, it gained a lot of popularity and then took off.”
In 1973, she matched both achievements with “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” becoming the first artist to win consecutive Grammys for best record.

Regime turns to Dem-Mediacrat judges to save the day

You knew this was coming.

So we're supposed to believe that some random judge in Kalamazoo or wherever has the lawful authority to exercise veto power over policy decisions of the President in his job as head of the Executive Branch.

That's exactly what happened when a Dem-Mediacrat judge not only presumed to block Elon Musk from accessing financial records of the Treasury Department but extended the order to not allowing even Trump's new Secretary of the Treasury, the guy who runs the department, to have such access.

This goes beyond overreach. It's total theater of the absurd. And Trump must either pursue an emergency appeal to negate the rogue judge's bogus "order"...or simply ignore it. Otherwise, the next four years will see his presidency paralyzed when Dem-Mediacrats use partisan judges to give them effective control of the government.

Smurfing is pretty popular in the Senate

Smurfing….using names of people to hide/launder money….is being exposed.

Here is a great Sen from the state of Washington. One person supposedly made 250 separate donations.

Actually, once someone makes a donation, these crooks use their contact data to hide thousands of dollars from big donors, NGOs, foreigners and more.
