Damn. That's only an hour-and-a-half-away. It’s ten hours away from where I am in Florida, but I’m going because it’s the closest opportunity for me to see the team live. Additionally, a few of the PSU wrestlers who are currently redshirting will be entered along with the starters and a back up or two. Maybe the volleyball team will do a southern swing next year. I just drove through Chattanooga yesterday (Sunday). It's a zoo.

I did! It was well worth the trip. The team is talented and entertaining. PSU won the championship at six of the ten weight classes. More than that they delivered a large number of pins with Jason Nolf pinning all four of his opponents, Zain Retherford pinning 4 of 5, Bo Nickal decking 3 of 5, and Shakur Rasheed pinning the last 3 of his 5 opponents. All three of Shakur’s falls came in less than a minute in each case. Obviously the team ran away with first place, falling just one team point short of the all-time record for the Scuffle.
There was a large contingent of Nittany Lion fans in attendance. Everybody loves a winner!
P.s. it was a bit chilly in Chattanooga for someone more accustomed to Florida temperatures.

I'm not even close to a be-all-end-all wrestling authority, (PSUMAUI where are you?) but I have been killing time catching up with the wrestling team. As you might expect, they're doing pretty well. This weekend, their two matches are on the Big Ten Network--Friday evening as they host Minnesota and Sunday afternoon when they visit Rutgers. If you like seeing PSU athletes dominate their opponents, you may want to give these matches a look.

Great write-ups Millennium!
I saw Haleigh Washington at the wrestling match, behind the bleachers congratulating the wrestlers.

If by any chance there are Women's Soccer fans in this site check out the recruiting class of 2019 where PSU has 5 of the top 25 coming to PSU and that includes the number 2 place player , the number 7 player, and the number 10 player, the last is the number 25. this from TOP DRAWER A soccer site..

PSU defeated Rutgers 25-15, but experienced some really "homeristic" reffing. I think a rivalry with some real hatred was created today.

It looked more like a boxing match than wrestling. Need to find out how Retherford is doing. That injury looked like bad luck, but how many bloody noses did we have in the other matches?

Sorry-injury was to Nolf. I could not find anything official about his status, but he really looked hurt yesterday.

I think it would have been appropriate for Coach Sanderson to punch the Rutgers Coach and the Ref. That was a travesty. Since when has collegiate wrestling moved to a "10-point Must System?"

Hope remains that Jason Nolf (defending 157 pound national champion) will be able to compete at the B1G Tournament. He will not be wrestling in the remaining dual meets.

I just watched the match on BTN to go, it was exciting throughout, But my biggest surprise was Anthony Cassar at 197 fantastic job against a top flight opponent. Anthony you did Penn State and Jersey Proud.
