    Phillies 2024

    He's been masterful. Doesn't have super velocity but he throws all the pitches -- 4-seam fastball, cutter, change-up, curveball, and sinker-- and throws them for strikes. At his best, opposing hitters are rarely getting solid contact.

    Yeah, keep the women's competition, but dump Greco-Roman and expand the number of men's freestyle weight classes to 10 or 12.

    From FCA, their kid at 172 Adam Waters dominated the AA State tournament as a Freshman and again this year as a Sophomore. Any speculation about his college plans? Is PSU looking?

    15-year anniversary of Cael's hiring

    Who could have forecast just the degree of success that Cael's hiring led to? The number of titles, the number of dominant wrestlers, and then the development of training centers both for young wrestlers and Olympic hopefuls...to the point where State College and Central PA is the absolute...

    OJ Simpson dead at age 76

    Yeah, he ripped the Steelers for 227 yards (including an 88-yd TD run) in 1975, which was during the Steelers Steel Curtain Super Bowl era. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/197509280pit.htm#all_player_offense I believe Jack Ham said Simpson was the only running back he played...

    ESPN article on cauliflower ear

    I love wrestling for many reasons but cutting weight and cauliflower ears are features that limit it's popular appeal. I hope young wrestlers and their families can be careful in these areas.

    UConn is the new Duke

    Missouri has wrestling and produces some good individuals and teams that compete in the Big12 for wrestling and that often end up in the top 10 in the NCAA Tournament. But Missouri is a relatively recent addition to the SEC, and other SEC schools did not have wrestling programs after 1981 or so.

    UConn is the new Duke

    I haven't watched many Purdue games, but after seeing them against NC State, their guards were not impressive at all. Probably just an off game. But Connecticut applies so much defensive pressure; Purdue's guards will have to make plays and avoid turnovers (16 as in vs NC State would be a...
