I'm loving stoked.

Two weeks ago my dad and I went to College Park for the Big Ten championship. It was so rad to so so much wrestling at once. Half the stadium was Penn State fans. Except for two years in the pandemic, we've gone to one match every year for the last decade.

Mitchell Mesenbrink with the comeback miracle win was the best match I've seen since David Taylor won gold in the last Olympics with a tie breaking takedown in the last seconds

Yeah that match with Hamiti was completely insane. I think him vs. Carr will likely end up being the craziest match of the night tonight

If you could determine permanent OOC games for your favorite team/school, what would they be? In an ideal world Tulane would always play LSU, USM (Southern Mississippi), Ole Miss, and ULL. Auburn, GA Tech, and LA Tech just missed the list.

WVU would play

Pitt
PSU
UL
Cinci
VT
Maryland

You could talk me out of Maryland and into Rutgers or Miami.

I would like to see Penn State play WVU regularly again. My dad and I went to the WVU game last season and will try to get tickets in Morgantown this year.

In theory we should also play Pitt, but I feel that beating Pitt no longer gains Penn State anything, but losing is embarrassing. Maybe the teams have grown far enough apart that Pitt almost feels like Temple-level.

Penn State locked up the team national championship already, leading 155-70. This could be the all time greatest wrestling team

Georgia Tech's OOC opponents that we should play annually:

UGA
Auburn

ACC teams I want to continue to play annually if the ACC falls apart:

Clemson
Virginia Tech
Duke [we're each others' mutual third-most-played opponent. Neither side considers it a rivalry but I feel like that has to count for something]

OOC teams I would like to play more often:

Tennessee
Tulane
Georgia Southern

ACC (and ACC-ish) teams I would like to continue to play semi-frequently if the ACC falls apart:

Notre Dame
UNC
Miami
Pitt [not a lot of history here, but recent games outside of the Geoff Collins era have been bangers]

I dunno the ACC poaching the best football schools from the Big East and destroying a regional rival conference 20 years ago seems pretty prescient?

Unfortunately Miami and Virginia Tech both fell off hard in football and college basketball stopped being a driver of anything in college sports. It’s not like the Big Ten or SEC were particularly better run, they just benefited from having better football schools at the top end.

The point was that nobody in New England has ever cared about college football, especially not Boston College. There's a reason that infamous Virginia tech Boston College championship game was completely empty.

Yeah, it took several years of empty ACC title games in Tampa and Jacksonville before they finally had to give up on the dream of Florida State and Miami both being good at the same time and playing each other for the conference title.

It wouldn't have mattered if it was played at Boston College. The school was notorious for having absolutely no fans that would travel.

No I not mad about the acc ruining the very cool and good big east which I grew up loving all the rivalries WVU had with the members etc.

There's just no one in America that can wrestle Brooks.

There hasn't been one even remotely close match all season.

Bummer Mesenbrink lost on riding time after coming back to tie.

PSU crowns 4 national champs, breaks the all time points record. They also beat second place by 100 points, obliterating the old record by 30. Starocci and Brooks are both 4 time NCAA champs, making them the 6th and 7th guys to ever do it. Got real choked up after Starocci's win when he basically confirmed he wrestled the whole tournament with a torn ACL. Barely have any words for this. A performance the likes of which may never be seen again.

loving GOAT team and some of the best wrestlers of all time. Glad I got to see this, especially twice in person this year. Looking forward to the Olympics. Brooks could be the best wrestler in Penn State history, and there have been some really great ones in the last 10-15 years

I’ve generally liked Oregon scheduling one OOC game as a marquee, and one against like a MWC team or something, and every other year playing the FCS commuter school that is Portland State.

I guess now I have to say OOC we have to add the Oregon State game to that list :smith:

It still doesn’t feel real that my conference is dead and we’re playing all those Other Side of the Rose Bowl teams in-conference next year, so it’s hard to say what PAC-10/12 games otherwise I’d want to keep. Wazzu if we never have to go to Pullman, Utah, maybe Cal or Stanford…but those were always based on the team at the time, not as fundamental as playing little brother in Corvallis or the Huskies.

Does UGA have one of those huge campuses where the bars aren't walkable? When I was in school nobody drove drunk because you could walk to anywhere in about ten minutes max but when I went to visit some of my friends at bigger schools there was a lot of driving under the influence.
