Let the countdown begin.
We are 10 long days from the start of the wrestling season. November 1 kicks off with 11 dual meets (I know, I know. PSU doesn't compete until 11/16 & 17, but bear with me).
What is at stake this season?

What is at stake this season?
- Sadly, for the first time since 2019 there are no wrestlers working on becoming four-timers (I am not counting Ferrari until the NCAA confirms he received an Oly RS).
- But there is one wrestler working on becoming a five-timer. Not that anyone around here cares, but he is a little know wrestler who goes by Carter Starocci.
- PSU returns what I believe to be a record number of points from the prior tournament at 130.
- But having lost 42.5 points across 3 weights, getting to 173 is still in doubt.
- Cael Sanderson has a shot to tie or beat the all-time record for individual champions. At 40 he stands just 5 behind Dan Gable's 45.
- In other news, NC State is looking to win their seventh straight ACC title.
- Appalachian State goes for its third straight SoCon.
