Since starting Big Ten Conference play in 1993, Penn State football has won four Big Ten conference titles (1994, 2005, 2008, and 2016), with 1994 and 2008 being the only two seasons Penn State defeated both Michigan and Ohio State in the same season. Did you expect Penn State to have won more Big Ten titles in that time?

With Oregon and USC joining the Big Ten, it will become even more difficult to win a Big Ten conference title. If Florida State joins the Big Ten, how would the Seminoles fare as compared to Penn State?

How has Florida State fared against Big Ten teams?

Posted this on GIA, but @backdrft76 said I had to here as well. Be warned, the first three are Iowa centric:


U20 Nationals gives us a very recent example on what we could see this weekend. WTT are basically a condensed version with the best guys competing again(plus a few additions)for a spot on the team. 57kgs was a gauntlet then, and will be again.

Lilledahl came out on top at Nats, so he sits in the best of 3 finals. He earned himself a huge advantage here as the mini tourny is going to be a war, with highly ranked matches from 1st whistle.

Top competition -

Forrest - not best performance at Nats, but everyone knows he's one of the best there is
Knox - 3rd at Nats, top pfp
Mendoza - 4th at Nats, took out Forrest and Desmond in convincing fashion
Kilkeary - looked really, really good at Nats. Took 2nd with wins over Mendoza and Knox
Castillo - world medalist
Seidel, Desmond, and Cortez are all highly ranked and in the mix as well

Not sure how DeLuca will fare here. He's good enough to go with anyone on that list. Talent level is so high at this weight that I can't pick any one person to make the finals. I guess I will say 4th for Leo, and hope that I am very wrong. I lean Forrest to make finals, if only because when he is at his peak performance, very few can compete.

I have Lilledahl ultimately winning the spot. Partially because he's damn good, and partially because he doesn't have to string together 3-4 high quality wins to do it.

'They're studs': Elite starting pitching propels Phils to 8-2 homestand​

PHILADELPHIA -- This is the start the Phillies envisioned.
They capped off an 8-2 homestand on Sunday afternoon with an 8-2 victory over the White Sox at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies are 14-8, matching their best start through 22 games since 2018. It’s a nice change for a team that needed until June 29 last season to get to six games over .500. They needed until July 8 to reach that mark in 2022.

The Phillies completed their best homestand of 10 or more games since a 9-2 homestand from June 6-16, 2011, because they got mostly excellent starting pitching. Phillies starters had a 1.51 ERA on the homestand. They pitched six or more innings eight times. They pitched one shutout. They carried one no-hitter into the seventh inning. They carried another into the eighth.

They struck out 75 and walked 20 in 65 2/3 innings.

Make no mistake about it The Supreme Court will indeed step in, exonerate Trump, the corrupt guilty verdict in Gotham City will in-fact reinvigorate the American people which will in-fact lead to a massive Red Wave!

President Trump will send the Calvary after Crooked Joe Biden, & his Henchmen, & Good will prevail over Evil in the end as it always does!

Sadly, no PSU mention. But hey, we can remodel the stadium

Anyone headed to Baltimore for the VT game? Also it appears coach is facing some more bottom 50 teams this year, going to need to get to 500 in the BIG to see the tourney unless they can pull off an upset or two in some yet to be scheduled OOC big time games.

Report says Sean Peyton did everything possible to help Russel Wilson succeed. Completely changed the offense.

Remember the 13 million NIL deal Rashada was supposed to get to attend Florida?

Well, now he's filed a lawsuit.

Cancer. 71. Damn
