Okie State came into New Jersey yesterday and opened up a winning two match Jersey road trip with upstart Princeton before running over Rutgers today. Jadwin Gym was packed and fans were offered early hope when Pat Glory looked solid in the first period versus Nick Piccanninni. Picc dominated the last two periods and Okie […]
I took a bunch of grief for my forecast of this match last week. In my old age I’ve become of the mind that wrestlers are on the same team and non wrestlers are the (problem) other team. It’s impossible to know all the wrestlers out there and decide if I like them so I […]
This might be the most anticipated match up of the year. Two of America’s best wrestlers turned coaches with talented and deep coaching staffs, training centers and teams. What are some of the factors that might affect performance? Both teams are used to the competition time. Will the travel affect Penn State? Both teams are […]
This match has the potential for 6 of the #1 ranked wresters (out of 10) to show their stuff. Unfortunately for the fans none of the #1s will face off against each other. It should still be a great matchup. That’s the most of any dual that I’ve seen this season. For the disgruntled this […]

I know, I know things change but as of my recent conversations with the coaches from these programs here’s where they stand as of now: Stevens Tech I recently talked with Coach Favia about this year’s team. Favia is a young and driven person that is leading the program forward in the Centennial Conference. I’ve […]
While most Pennsylvania wrestling fans tend to think that Penn State’s biggest rival in wrestling is Iowa I’ll say that it’s Oklahoma State. Why? Because they were able to recruit 5 national championships from what most consider PSU territory: PA/NJ. Iowa has traditionally poached a tons of eastern talent. That said, the pipeline may be […]
What a lineup! Hugely entertaining wrestling last night with some highly anticipated match ups. The media was there in full force and True Wrestling was there covering and tweeting (@truewrestler1) the action. But where were the fans? The Palestra wasn’t sold out for this event and looked about 60% full. There have to be 100,00 […]
