Bc their mega tough and they wrestle incredibly hard. It's like why the Russians are so good. There're raised tough and start very early. I'll give you 1 example of why although in a different way. I've read about the Russians in battle all my life. Ya know how Patton got in trouble for slapping a U.S . soldier-- well at Stalingrad in ww2, the Russian commander-- to instill toughness and fear, lined up 100 soldiers and shot every 10th man in the face. One Combat hardened German soldier wrote in his diary how the Russians are not human and these are the people who also love wrestling.

PA loves wrestling so much they haven't had an Olympic Champion since 1996....😅 Last century 😅

Traditional cfb as we know it is dead. Either play the nil and transfer game to fullest or complain how the games changed and win 5 or 6 games

Sheetz: Good choice. Hershey's: Sweet. Wawa: Another good choice. New Holland: No way.

The letter says it all. Thanks Jeff

It would be awesome to see you guys do a full 14 week tv draft! Drafting every game for every slot for FOX/CBS/NBC! A couple things: FOX has the first 3 picks each year throughout the length of the tv deal. They’ve already taken Texas @ Michigan for 1 of their 3 top picks for Big Noon. Also, no local games in Los Angeles, Seattle or Eugene, will be played at 9am. Meaning none of the Pac 4 home games will be on Big Noon ever.

Love this!

Always loved this receiver!! WE ARE 🏈 Unrivaled

He is definitely the best in the game.

Fair assessment of a completely bogus number. The Big Lie is all the time these days with public declarations. Universities have a long way to go in regaining their credibility.

Really enjoy the nuanced sports business segments/discussions between you two -- analysis of the OPERATION of Penn State sports, basically. Can't really find that elsewhere.

Horrible game!! They are going 8-6

Because Sandusky loved boys touching

No, I couldn’t wait to change the channel in the final four game. She was horrible. The game sucked and it’s like this is why we don’t watch the W besides, it makes men throw up to see a bunch of woman acting like men just doesn’t swallow, right

Mitch is not used to factoring in riding time to the score. At the same time, coaches probably should have thrown the brick at 0:35 and clued Mitch in

PA has good elementary, middle, & high school wrestling. Now they're a legitimate powerhouse in College. Incredible to behold.

Penn State should make it Nexted year for they went to the finals before losing to Villanova and was a close game and I thought they beat themselves period . Get the rebounds and better passing wins that game !! God bless Penn State ladies basketball team !! Amen !!🙏 !! ❤ No trash talk no violent fouls and practice shooting the 3’s more and free throws makes a huge difference in making March Madness so you must be way more consistent in those shots and play clean defense and try to anticipate the basketball pass and jump into that passing lane so you need to practice that steal !! ! God bless you ladies always !! Amen !! Love from the Pennsylvania fan !!❤

Penn Staters were NOT so excited about wrestling until Cael arrived. Fair weather fans.

WE ARE PENN STATE

They went 58 years without winning anything. Cael is the only reason they are winning

There was passion even before Cael, that's why he came to PSU.

LOVE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS, JB. PA WRESTLING IS TOP NOTCH, NO SECRET SAUCE, DO THE RESEARCH, FOLKS!

Because wrestling is the toughest and best sport

WE are PENN STATE

Burroughs said HE would go after Carter's injured leg at the Olympic Trials. That's what people were upset about.

Come back, Carter and Greg

Next year will be even more impressive for PSU wrasslin.

The same reason why Oklahoma and Iowa does. Pennsylvania doesn't have any more than than the people in the two states I mentioned!

A lot of guys say Penn State dominate because they have a lot of money to sign on recruits we we're winning titles before the NIL i was looking at Penn State roster yesterday most of the team is from Pennsylvania or the state next to Pennsylvania this year was the greatest wrestling team in college wrestling history

They broke the scoring record and had the widest margin of victory. Imagine if Carter was healthy and Van Ness didn't get injured.

Wasn't a wrestler but always enjoyed the matches in high school. (1970's) Lower Dauphin, east of Harrisburg, was essentially a large farming community. Many of my buddies were busy planting in the spring and harvesting in the fall. But....But....During the winter these young men would fill out the wrestling team. I hated wrestling, during the winter months, in gym class. I was a runner, not a wrestler. My buddies took great pleasure in twisting me up in knots! They never hurt me or banged me up but you got a sense of how good they were. Made me want to go to all the home matches. Been a fan ever since. Flipped out when State got Cael. Can't get enough! Advice....Wanna know what wrestling is to PA? Go to the high school finals at The Giant Center in Hershey. What a zoo and what great wrestling!

Grew up much more of a basketball fan, but went to Nazareth HS. As a kid, we were also ranked Top 25 in the country and great rivalries with other powers such as Easton and Northampton. It was hard not to get excited.

It's like CA with surfing

PA has always had a lot of youth tournaments during the summer. Thats how i got started. The first couple years i was in the 10 and under age group i got my butt kicked. I began working out and at age 9 we were wrestling every day in my neighbors basement on a small mat. I was 95 pounds in 4th grade and bench pressing 150. I won the US Kids state championship. My friends in school started to train with me. Before you know it, we had over 20 kids working out inder the age of 13. Thise bonds lasted a lifetime. And they translated into excelling in other sports because we were fit, disciplined and willing to learn. By the time our kids got to high school, we were ready to compete with anyone, but usually the greatest competition was in our own gym. Im 58 now and the kids and grandkids of the kids I went to school with are continuing the tradition. Wrestling prepares you for so much in life. When your taking the mat with a gym full of people watching, it can be overwhelming. You learn real quick at a young age that preparation is key. And once you begin seeing positive results, it motivates you to do more. That mindset translated to other sports and into the classroom. It's a sport that will humble all but 1 in the weight class every year.

PA is second all time in MOH recipients with 380. They are behind NY who has 676. Also, interesting that Ohio and Illinois rank fourth and fifth. A lot of people put PA, OH, and ILL in the top 5 toughest states to win state championships. Tough people who answer the bell if you ask me.

Cuz it's pennsylvania

Cause they can't win a title in any other sport. Same as Iowa.

I wrestled in PA in middle school. And the level of competition in the state is outrageous. I also had my son wrestle in PA. And again, the level of competition even at ages 7-8 is ridiculous. The moms are screaming at their sons, dads are coaching their kids. Brothers and sisters are in the stands smashing popcorn down their gullets. It’s literally a full time all year round obsession for wrestling families. I couldn’t keep up the pace and my son wore out in two years. We were both tired of the grind and it stopped being fun. But I still will never ever forget the absolute enjoyment my son has when I took him to his first ever PSU wrestling match. What a memory In Rec Hall. Unforgettable. PA, NJ, OH, and MD are wrestling hubs. But there is nothing like a PA wrestling tournament.

List of players I'm looking for the Penn State Lady Lions to possibly obtain the services of in the transfer portal & why. 1. Kennedy Fauntleroy 5'7 PG Sophomore Oklahoma State ( Assistant Coach Terri Williams has tremendous relationships with the AAU Program where she came from; by the way it's also the same program Ashley Owusu came from ( BOO Williams AAU in Hampton,VA which also has many players from the DMV = DC, Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia Area ) 2. Amber Bullard 6'4 Center Freshmen LaSalle ( From Philadelphia & the coaching staff is doing a great job with local products in the transfer portal as of late ...ie Kylie Lavelle, Allie Campbell & Mariah Murray. ) 3. Kaylene Smikle 6'0 Guard Sophomore Rutgers ( From Farmindale, NY but completed her high school career @ Westtown High School in PA. I like this coaching staff recruiting wise ) 4. Saylor Poffenbarger 6'2 Wing Arkansas ( She's from Maryland & was originally @ UCONN but asked to transfer because she wasn't challenged academically plus felt limited with the Universities campus life. Academics as well as other factors outside of basketball will effect her decision. State College has great academics, good campus life and as far as basketball this coaching staff does a good job with player development... ie Shay Ciezki, Allie Brigham and Leilani Kapinus. Lastly distance from Middletown, Maryland to State College is doable )

The NCAA is a 🤡 Show 😭😅🤣😂😆😁

The Lady Lions next year look promising because of the recruits they have coming in with 2024 recruiting class in combination with what they already have, but more importantly Ashley Owusu who is a highly decorated nationally recognized talent made this program a destination with her decision to come to State College this past season. The Lady Lions didn't make the tournament, but the point I'm making is they proved you can win at State College. This coaching staff has some great recruiters ( Coach Kieger & Coach Terri Williams ). I'm hoping for an experienced true PG like Kennedy Fauntleroy ( great defender, penetrator, shot maker ) and athletic rim protector F/C in transfer portal.

Yes

Well, they haven’t won the title yet, so hold your horses. Anything is possible.

Surprised that Jeff Byers did not know that John Fritz WAS from Pennsylvania. John Fritz wrestled at Bethlehem Liberty H.S., in the birthplace of Pennsylvania's High School wrestling dominance, the Lehigh Valley. Bethlehem Catholic, Faith Christian, Nazareth, Notre Dame (Green Pond), Easton, and more. They all surround tiny little Lehigh University, who has FOUR of their grapplers seeded in the Top 5 of their weight classes in next weekend's NCAA Championships -- including an unbeaten Ryan Crookham from Saucon Valley H.S. (another Lehigh Valley school), who beat the defending NCAA Champion, and WORLD Champion, Vito Arujau not once, but TWICE this year, and is unfairly seeded at #2. Hopefully, he'll FIX that (LOL) Saturday. As a PSU wrestler, John was part of an amazing competitive triumvirate, which included himself, Lehigh's Mike Frick, and Pitt's Rande Stottlemyer (RIP). John won one NCAA Championship, Mike won two, but Rande never won one -- although he was a 3x All-American. Fritz always beat Frick, Frick always beat Stottlemyer, yet Stottlemyer usually beat Fritz. Crazy. As a side note, John's sister, Bernadette, was my 8th grade English teacher. She was great!

I think it's a farming, agricultural thing. Agriculture has always been the #1 economic engine in PA and farmers are drawn to it. But it's cultural in that kids who aren't on farms are drawn to it in the school programs. Just look at the college programs in the state. PSU, Lehigh, Pitt, Edinboro, Clarion, Lock Haven, Bucknell, and numerous D2 & D3 programs.

Keystone State is the best wrestling State in the country , PSU took it to another level with their success!!💙🤍💙🤍

Best wrestling announcer in the business. Love his passion and excitement!

Jeff is best in the business

not as much as iowans love wrestling

Pennsylvania wresting is a birthright! I was handed a gym bag and was told I was going to wrestling practice at the age of 8. It is handed down through generations like a family treasure.
