NCAAs coming back to Philly!!!!
- Thread starter aalion
- Start date
Maybe we can hear Pyle and crew complain about Philly not realizing that the stadium complex does not look EXACTLY like it did - that maybe a massive entertainment-dining complex was built right next to the arenas.
But that would take 5 minutes of research

Flo put Philly behind Des Moines in the NCAA Tournament Host City preseason rankings.
Just wait until Flo Karen discovers that Willie could commute to nationals and sleep in his own bed every night.
NCAA better activate its legal team now. (Maybe they can borrow Koll's.)

And I am sure it is a conspiracy that PSU isn’t even officially a host... Penn and Drexel are. Allows Cael to maintain plausible deniability ...
Cael is running it by proxy thru Mark Hall.
Why else would Hall go to Penn after graduating?
Or, god forbid, you could use your free time to explore an actual city of great historic and cultural significance.
Interesting choices, particularly Kansas City and Tulsa. Kansas City hosted in 2003, Tulsa never hosted. Both Philly (Wells Fargo Center), and Cleveland (Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse) are a smidgeon larger, at 21,000+, than KC or Tulsa, both between 19,000 and 20,000.
While Hockeygod is correct, Philly will be a tougher ticket, as will Cleveland, I'm sure. Penn State fans travel so well, that KC and Tulsa may be challenging too, I believe.

How dare they decide to hold NCAA in a city that easily can accommodate thousands of fans and doesn’t shut down at 9 pm.
Depends on the neighborhood and if you are wearing a Mets hat.
And knows how to make good bread
Apparently Philly is safer than the 2020 city that did not get to make up the canceled tourney.
Awesome photo and awesome match by Quentin! That later pin with the classic photo of Cael and Casey in the background was the cherry on top. That match in particular seemed to embody what Cael had brought to the program. I think few of us realized this was the moment that would start the incredible run of success Cael and the coaches would bring us fans. That season was the start of my re-introduction to college wrestling and my becoming a Penn State fan. I had been away from the sport for many years, and the only wrestling I typically saw was the televised NCAA championship. During the 2010-2011 season I learned about this young company called Flowrestling and some of the other wrestling sites. That was also my introduction to the young phenom, David Taylor. I loved his slick and attacking style. And that drew me to following Penn State and their offensive-minded approach to the sport. Joining this Forum last year after following it religiously for many years was just another step in my enjoyable process of coming back to the sport of wrestling that had always meant so much to me. And a big thank you to all the members of this Forum for making it an enjoyable place for me to hang out during retirement.14 years in between, wow. It seems like yesterday.

Still no love for the Left Coast
Did any Left Coast cities bid for the championships?
Thanks Tom for the info.
Good question. I know Las Vegas did. I don't know about LA. I'd prefer Vegas anyway.
Have said this before: the NCAA Tournament NEEDS to be in Las Vegas soon. It would be a big, splashy event like NYC was, that draws more attention to the sport.
Vegas put in for multiple Ncaa championships Wrestling,Frozen Four and basketball regionals.They got the Frozen Four 2026
Pffft - who wants to see tan, toned Az women after a long winter in the NE and Midwest
I'm your huckleberry CT!

The question is do they want to see pasty out of shape me? Um, wait, don’t answer that.....
No. In Iran property crimes are actually punished and their police aren’t frightened to act.
Should have added, the FBI shows crime stats except for big cities. You can figure the rest out.
It is amazing that someone who wrote that and actually believes it has a job. Foley is a complete hack that tries to bring his politics into every conversation. He has a bitch slappable face
Foley lived in Chicago for years, and that whole time did not once make the 4-hr drive to Iowa City despite its historical significance to the sport and the number of events there. Which says a lot about his professional priorities.It is amazing that someone who wrote that and actually believes it has a job.

He is what happens when influential people care more about impressing their friends and cocktail party acquaintances, than about serving their customers and constituents.
You'd better start a "Foley is a communist gratuitous dumpster fire thread."
He doesn’t like our own folk style and wants us to adopt freestyle. He will, however, fly 7-8 time zones to gush over traditional wrestling folk styles in other countries.
I guess the per diem and the yurt accommodations are pretty sweet
In fairness, I'd do that too if I could get my boss to pay for the trip.
At least for sumo. Despite the lack of yurts in Tokyo.
