Penn State - Wyoming '25 Match Thread

[AndEEss]

Really thought about making the drive from COS but decided against it.

Someone needs to convince Cael to wrestle at all of the service academies. USAFA’s gym is also at 7,000ft+. Very scenic campus.

Yes. And many didn’t interpret what he said correctly. As soon as he made the comment I said this was coming. I got shot down pretty quick

I saw it and agreed with your interpretation. I just was and am still bitter that they had Cael's weekly presser at the same time as Campbell's intro presser.

 

[PSUNAV]

So Byers announces that Mendoza wins the Heisman about 10 minutes before I see it being announced on ABC live. Did anyone else hear that?

 

[pish69]

What a horrible graphic in lower left of screen

edit..they fixed it.

Just busting chops.....Kudos, yes, you did call that.
