Watching PSU - OSU Wrestling

[psulongago]

Freshman year 1960-61, remember a wrestling/basketball double header at rec hall. Was told arrive early because the place will sell out. Wrestling first, I wasn't interested, couldn't wait for basketball. Wrestling ended, place emptied. 60 years later sat on the edge of my seat watching the PSU/OSU wrestling match totally absorbed. For me, now, wrestling yes, BBall, no interest.

This is a good story......but does it make you a front runner?

i would agree FB then wrestling. i would add womens VB ahead of BB (either team). the men's BB team has really never been much (maybe Bruce Parkhill days were okay). Women's BB has gone to the crapper from actually nationally respected.

Parkhill made the NCAA tournament once in ten years. His tenure looks much better in hindsight then it did in reality

Gee we are contemporaries! I lived in th AZ house that year and walked out the AX door into the Rec hall door for many a great doubleheader. Great inexpensive way to blow a whole evening!
As for ranking well that's hard. My favorite is what is in season i guess. But Women's VB is always near the top. And unlike many on here I enjoy the men's BB, win or lose , or lose or lose
