Penn State is at the peak of the sport of wrestling. Setting all-time records in points scored at nationals, champions crowned, consecutive duals won. Year after year.

Fielding the majority of the world teams. Backups that are AA quality and national title contenders.

World champions seek out State College to train here.

Let’s make sure we pause to realize it and appreciate it. It unfortunately won’t last forever. Ask Iowa fans.

While I certainly agree with your premise, I don’t think we are at the peak yet. In fact, I think we’re only half way up the mountain.

As hard as it is to imagine, the best is yet to come. I believe we will ultimately see our past, current, and future wrestlers winning more world and Olympic championships. Of course that success will continue to feed the pipeline.

And with coach Nick and Zain learning the coaching and leadership formula from the best staff in the world, the succession plan is already starting to unfold.

Ultimately, gratitude and humility are at the core of this dynasty. And both Nick and Zain epitomize those characteristics.

At some point I expect Mitchell to join the coaching staff and the transition will continue to the next generation of leadership.

Enjoy the ride 😎

And let's not forget, Sasquatches may soon become extinct due to climate change, so we should simultaneously revel in and be thankful for each increasingly rare sighting.

In a world of ups and downs, the consistent quality performances by Cael and company provides an amazing escape for we fans. Regardless of where WE ARE in the life cycle of this excellence, I am forever thankful for the joy PSU Wrestling provides.

We have a world gold medalist, a world silver, and a world bronze redshirting and another world bronze backup who can’t win a starting spot.

Cael is still young. How long does he want to do this?

One consideration for the nature of the sport -- the great coaches like to teach hands on and roll around with their wrestlers. Cael is 46 and seems to be in good health. But who knows if he gets back pains or a bad hip? Might not be able to go hard with the wrestlers.

I'll say the over/under is 8 more years for Cael as head coach.

What a great run so far!

Nah, they will adapt and simply start losing their hair. Soon we will be neck deep in giant naked squatches, swinging away all over the place.
