Yes, in the NAIA.
Enjoy this run... there will not be another one like this in a long time (maybe ever with Portal and NIL)
I plan on enjoying it for another decade or so hoping to still be in it.
I think Iowa will be #100.
There’s NIL and Portal but that gets more teams at top which one could argue makes it easier to maintain. For example Bo and Melvin going to VTech as opposed to OK State. And PSU’s dominance over Iowa and Ohio State has seemed to increase over past five years.
Joe-Do you or anyone else remember Cael's comment on the streak?
It was at or near the end of one of his informal weekly reporter sessions where a few of the reporters were talking about breaking the 85 team win streak record.
After a few media people pitched in, Cael said something like, "I think a 100 would be really cool."
I may be inventing this comment in my own head, but it really struck me at the time because Cael rarely ever talks about "wins."
A great program for sure. But, it's an apples and oranges comparison.
Thank you for trying. I appreciate the effort.
It was one of those weekly sessions where Cael is standing outside of the wrestling room fielding questions from a few reporters about the program.
Oh well, moving on
But all of us were concentrating on the dodgeball action in the background so we missed the comments from Cael…Thank you for trying. I appreciate the effort.

The shutout of Iowa will be a fitting 100th. The statement of historic dominance and how this dynasty has turned the landscape on its head. And, yes, we are going to shut them out this year.
It's a shame it's not going to be in Carver.
The weak schedule accusations against us will be especially painful and ironic for Iowa that week.
I'll get over them quickly.

or harder bc a team like VTech can spend some money and come out of almost nowhere and build a program in a year or two
I definitely think it’s easier to maintain when 2-5 five teams are spreading out the talent as opposed to Ok State gobbling up majority of talent PSU doesn’t get

Not really.
All you have to do is become obssesive, dig around the internet for all the results, type them into a database (or excel in a pinch), do some very basic math, run some queries (or pivot tables), and voila.
Not sure why everyone doesn't do it.
Gotta let it marinate for a bit. But there will be an answer key.
off to OKLA for number 88 on sunday!

I was game for playing… but had no answers in my mind, or time to look it up… I enjoyed the questions AND answers!
How many times were each of the most common winning-29-and losing-3-scores?
Ironically, I initially misread the title as Steak trivia…. and then you said we had to let it marinate!
I always debate whether to post these as trivia questions, or just a list of facts. Maybe the list would be better. Especially when it gets this arcane.
29 has happened 9 times. 3 has happened 20 times.
And now you are making me hungry.
Work is over rated.
What is not over rated is this other bit of trivia.
During the streak PSU has won 9 of 10 bouts a whopping 42 times.
Safe travels mon ami!
