PennLive PSU beat writer, Lehigh Valley guy, who knows what will happen next in State College? (No, seriously, who knows?) "Hey, Bob" queries welcome, bring it!
Penn State 10-for-10 in first round of NCAA wrestling. Lions only allowed one TD in 10 bouts, only other points were escapes. The lone TD occurred in final seconds of Cole Mirasola's 13-7 win at 285.
Almost thru the first round of the NCAA Wrestling Championships here in Cleveland. Only Josh Barr and Cole Mirasola left to go. Lions are 8-for-8 which is not a surprise. Worth noting PSU has only allowed points on escapes in first 8 bouts, and not many of them.
Penn State fans, busy January, right? What are your thoughts on the Lions' roster transformation thus far? Matt Campbell's Iowa State guys in State College? Campbell was also able to keep plenty of important 2025 players. One more: Penn State's biggest portal defections? Go!
Penn State fans...an impressive Pinstripe Bowl by a shorthanded PSU team over Clemson. A 7-6 finish and a great showing by Terry Smith as head coach. What are your thoughts on the game? The 2025 season? And what are you initial thoughts on 2026?
Guys, I almost FORGOT: Penn State hired a new coach. What do you think of the hire? What do you think of Pat Kraft's coaching search? How big of an offseason is this for Matt Campbell/Kraft considering the transfer portal will open soon and the 2026 recruiting class is SMALL?
I thought James Franklin was emotional in the early days of his time as Penn State's coach. Matt Campbell has him beat by a wide margin. PSU's new coach's has become worked upl at least a half-dozen times today, and he is not done.
Matt Campbell hitting all the right notes in his introductory speech at Penn State. Mentions Todd Blackledge, the late Joe Paterno, Cedar Cliff grad Kyle Brady and current PSU wrestling coach Cael Sanderson...
