2026 NCAA Championship Session III Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
We went from reading results in the newspaper or huddling around a radio,listening to matches because the TV only got three channels if the rabbit ears and aluminum foil were turned just right to watching all eight mats at once on a streaming app. Us boomers are pretty darn adaptable!
Thanks for the clarification. I was clearing reading a bad source. Lol.
Back from PA and listened to Byers for the entire Session 3. I thought I would miss watching it on TV, but listening to him call the matches is its own kind of joy. The suspense when you can’t see it, and then his call can’t be beat. I must have looked like a lunatic punching car and screaming when he called SVN’s winning takedown!
Who have been the designated target in years past? Davis, Beau, Joe Lee, Gulibon. Anyone else?
Damn right! I get sick of "old people are idiots when it comes to technology" crap. But, I still WANT YOU OFF MY LAWN!
In my lurking days it felt like Shakur got some heat, hildebrandt one year flustered some as well
Fun fact, Facundo, Barr, and Cotton were all on the mats at the same time today ... pretty cool for Davison HS
I won’t lean towards his groin, but I hope it isn’t serious
Just because we yell at clouds does not make us unintelligent...
My high-school-senior kid is on the speech and debate team. Her team goes to the middle school to train the middle school kids. This week, she said “those middle schoolers are cooked”. I asked what cooked means. She said that she worries for them. She took away their phones and iPads for the first time ever, and they literally were having withdrawal symptoms and could not function. Less than five or six years different in age, and those kids felt like a different species!
Cut the tie my man. We lost him to the dark side
Choose your favorite Alton
In case it hasn't been posted yet and you guys aren't aware we won our title back in 2011 with a total of 107.5 points

Anyone that didn’t bonus their way to the finals? I swear that some people focus so hard on the occasional raindrop that they never enjoy a sunny day.
******* A, talk about beating a dead horse. The Davis bashing is on another level. Has he had his issues, yes. Has he done everything asked of him and more? Yes! God forbid someone else goes down next year, I for one hope Davis sticks around to man the spot. If not him then redshirt year in the room and be ready to go like all the other room guys.
Ok done.
Penn State Wrestling club's summary indicates the remaining 8 wrestlers can score a max of 120 points, or 15 each. That seems to be:
Semis:
6 placement
1 advancement
2 bonus
Finals:
4 placement
2 bonus
My 14 and 11 year olds can have a phone when they can purchase one (and pay the bill) themselves. We have a family GABB phone that they take when they leave the house without us, mostly for my wife's sanity. It's quite "interesting" watching a group of teenage girls come to my home to hang out and never say a single word to each other (because they're all on their phones).
Great news everyone. Thanks in part to this thread, BWI has awarded me the "Addicted" trophy for my 1000+ posts. I would like to thank my wife and daughter for allowing me to be a horrible husband and father this wrestling season as I have spent far too many hours on here : )
Who would have thought Michigan would only be trailing tOSU by three points?
How could I forget as that was the year wrestling was invented.
Can’t believe we are saying that hopefully someone got hit in the nuts
If it’s not just something so temporary, then Cael might need to work his Molinaro magic.
He went from being The Man... to just another whiny clown.
I appreciate what DT has done while at PSU, but many others have surpassed him here. But he was the beginning of what we enjoy now.
Although ill argue Ruth was all that and more.
The HWT we're already trying to run out of town along with his brother.
For what it's worth, I met Dan Monthly in the elevator and he said he has thankfully had a quiet tournament so far. Mentioned it has been about the opposite of last year's tournament.
Ruth was historically great, David was the face of the birth of the dynasty.
By the way, Q's pin in the SF was the proclamation the King's dynasty had arrived!!!!
