This team has a chance to be very, very good. They're sending 6 true or RS freshmen out there this weekend. Iowa might be just a touch better this year, but there's going to be another 4-5 year championship run in this team.

My wife an I looked at a home in the area yesterday. I looked at the bookshelves and there was a Nittany Lion, a Several Championship Trophies and some memorabilia about wrestling in the Olympics. I don't want to mention his name but he was a multi-time all-American wrestler for PSU several decades ago. His daughter is now a professional soccer player and his very promising son was, unfortunately, killed in a car accident. From what I understand, he owns several homes across the world and was an Investment Banker, and did business worldwide. Pretty impressive home.
