It should noted that after a horrible start, 141 wrestler Adam Lynch has defeated his last three opponents ALL OF WHOM were ranked, (#16 Prater, Illinois, #5 Marion, Iowa, #24 Schmitt, Wisconsin). Congrats Adam & keep it up. Hopefully we'll see your name int he top 25 this week!

The radio announcer Jeff Byers today made a comment about next years B10 wrestling schedule change for Conference matches.

Next year every school will have 2 duals in a weekend two times. Thats 4 matches. That means the remaining 4 matches will be single dual meet weekends. That might suck for fantasy points btw!

He also said that instead of have 2 duals @ home or on the road, they will be split from now on.

I don't know what the B10 would do this as it does not make sense especially when schools are on tighter budgets & it only makes sense to do 2 duals per weekend every weekend as the road trips have to be planned as such.

Like as of now if PSU has a road trip like this past weekend they go to 2 nearby schools, (like Michigan & Michigan State or Iowa & Wisconsin or Northwestern & Illinois). If they have to split these up in home/Away instead 2 homes or 2 aways I think that will put a financial strain on the programs.

Which all know we dont need...

That sounds foolish to me, too. Cutting expenses is key right now.

Man PSU sure does have a lot of articles about them - darn good coverage by their local papers/websites

[kr1963]

We may not get 8000 people showing up @ a match, (YET!) but the PSU-Illini match drew close to 5000. If Cael gets the program even close to Iowa's expect Rec Hall to be packed when the Hawkeyes come to town.

For a Football school, (Beaver Stadium hold 110,000) PSU has ALOT of wrestling fans & very good coverage in the media

“I’m proud of these guys,” coach Cael Sanderson said during his post-meet radio show. “I think they wrestled well. Even the matches we lost, our guys fought for the most part. They wrestled the whole time and were in a position to win. The team looked good.”

Central Mountain rolls up pins, BEA
http://www.centredaily.com/sports/story/1748170.html

Once again, Penn State-bound Andrew and Dylan Alton played major roles in a thumping. The duo needed a combined 55 seconds to pin quality opponents.

Andrew’s 18-second fall of promising freshman Jake Taylor at 145 depicted the Eagles’ conundrum. Taylor smirked as he walked toward the bench, a sign even the youngest varsity wrestlers understand opponents such as the Altons don’t come around often.

<script><!-- if(miyahoo.ads[mi_live_or_preview].yahoo.enabled){yld_mgr.place_ad_here(&quot;slot_2 &quot;} </script>Dylan followed Andrew by pinning Jake’s older brother, Nick, in 38 seconds. Both Taylors were aggressive before the Altons converted slick and powerful headlocks.

Cyler Sanderson, David Erwin and Cameron Wade had first-period pins. Brad Pataky needed just 3:14 to score a technical fall. But Molinaro’s 9-0 major over Andrew Nadhir showed the confidence gained by surviving a blizzard.

Pennsylvania has a ton of wrestling fans, they just need a team (and some home-grown talent) to root for. Keeping the PA kids in state is a major step in the right direction.
