    @Ale Xander Yeah, these are trials and typically are not a big draw. That said, with Penn State's recent national championship and MANY Lion alumni (David Taylor, Zane Retheford, Vincenzo Joseph, Nick Lee, Jason Nolf, others) and NLWC (Nittany Lion Wrestling Club) members (Kyle Snyder, Kyle...

    This was at Penn State in the mid '70s. I had a friend who was really into the game and had visions of setting up a national professional league. I mean, this guy was all in. He started off by setting up a competitive league on campus and I guess he attracted maybe 200 players, perhaps 20 of...

    I was a collegiate air hockey champion. I don't think I could be any better than that. Although I was actually a very good Frisbee golf player as well in its earliest, earliest years.

    Impressive Penn State win. First team to ever crown 2 four-time winners in the same year. Set new team point record (172.5), to break Iowa's record of 170 set in 1997. With Cornelll placing second with 72 points, set new record for largest margin of victory - 100.5 - breaking the old record by...

    Unfortunately, each of those were legitimate challenges. Plus, they added the additional review process that goes to off-mat officials back in "command central". That tends to add time to the overall match. This one lasted 22 minutes.

    They've already locked up the team championship before the finals have even begun.

    I'd have to dive deep to find that. Iowa set the team point record in 1998 with 170 points vs. runner-up Oklahoma State's 113-1/2, a 67-1/2 point margin. Both of those marks are in jeopardy.

    College Name-Image-Likeness (NIL)

    View: https://youtu.be/E-Gmjbq7Hzo?si=nedB2asHJaYeQG0q Having now listened to Nick Saban, I wonder if an option might be to revise the NIL-transfer portal dynamic. If, as Saban seems to suggest, players are going to follow the money and highest bidder, and use the transfer portal to leverage...

    Terry Francona Named Honorary Chair for this Year's U.S. Senior Open in Newport June 26-30

    Oh, there are quite a few checkpoints, but to be honest, if the SCORER'S tally is the only one that's off, I believe they'd discard it. And, I've actually had on one occasion a caddie leaning over and telling me the standard bearer's score was wrong. It matched up with what I had so we called an...

    @ColdSoxPack Here is the process: - Complete volunteer signup - Provide "committe" preferences. There are probably 12-15 different committees, ranging from walking scorers, to ShotLink operators (using handheld lasers to record and transmit data like driving range, putt distance, etc.), to...

    Terry Francona Named Honorary Chair for this Year's U.S. Senior Open in Newport June 26-30

    This will be my third volunteer championship event at Newport CC. I was a walking scorer for the 1995 Amateur won by Tiger Woods; the 2006 U.S. Women's Open won by Annika Sorenstam in an 18-hole playoff vs. Pat Hurst; and now this year's Senior. I saw some great golf in the Amateur but didn't...
