    Ouch. Penn State 2027 Recruiting Decline?

    I don't know, a lot of people in here dunking on their recruiting-class rankings, but I think he still doesn't care about that and wants a development-focused program. I also don't think that will necessarily make it harder for the program to find success. If you want Campbell's Penn State era...

    **** daylight savings

    Permanent DST was tried. Most people disliked it in the winter, which led to its eventual reversal even after regaining some popularity over the summer. “Who cares about morning light?” You. Your body. Millions of years of evolution, that’s who. That’s great if you personally don’t feel any...

    *** 2026 Tennis Thread ***

    Zverev is playing great but Sinner was really just a victim of the structure of tiebreaks there. The question will be if he sloughs it off mentally knowing he’s playing very well too, or if his level drops

    When Sinner is neutralizing shots out wide with that forehand slice—he's had to utilize it a lot against Alcaraz—it's game over. His groundstrokes are too good. It's very hard to dictate off of them, especially when you're 39. And when he occasionally leaves a ball short and you attack, only for...

    My read on the match was wrong, Djokovic isn't taking chances out of necessity, Sinner is just better. Which makes sense when you think of him as a 15-years-younger version of Djokovic, or even a next-gen version

    I agree. Nadal was similar, but more in the sense of it being impossible to bury him over the course of a match. Big points still felt 50/50 most of the time. With Djokovic, it feels like everyone including 99.9% of his opponents thinks he has at least a 51% chance in those moments, even if the...

    *** 2026 Tennis Thread ***

    I just texted someone that Zverev couldn't have asked for a more favorable path at Roland Garros, and now with Sinner not playing at his best (a high bar, to be fair), Zverev may never have a better opportunity to win back-to-back slams. Yes, it's absolutely a mental switch that's been flipped...

    It seems pretty clear Shelton is only the highest ranked US player because Fritz was hurt for a bit. Shelton is young but has got to figure out how to be more consistent

    Paul cruised today, though look out for Medvedev, who did as well and would be Paul's fourth-round opponent. Tsitsipas-Djokovic is about as interesting a second-round matchup as you can ask for, at least since Tsitsipas didn't really struggle

    Jack Kohnen committed to Iowa State!!!

    agreed. Lost in the race to now use Michigan's blueprint is that Lendeborgs and Maras don't grow on trees. Sure, with the transfer portal you have a pretty good idea of what you're bringing in, and if you have the cash you can bring in some talented bigs. But some skillsets are just scarce, and...

    Jack Kohnen committed to Iowa State!!!

    Regarding expectations, I recognize Biliew was a bust based on his recruiting rating/ranking. What stands out to me is Otz has pretty clearly been willing to pivot his strategy multiple times in just five seasons. After big Rob, he tried opting for even more size and mass in the post. But after...

    Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

    I was being tongue in cheek repeating his words, I don't actually believe leaving the Big 12 compromised the integrity of the sport. Depending on how you define "sport" and "honor," however, let's just say I don't believe those were factors in OU's decision. I know most everyone here is...

    For the record, OU prioritized TV dollars over winning, sport, honor, and integrity
