Jason Nark: Penn State’s wrestling team might be the greatest dynasty in sports

Three in a row! Dynasty!

I called them a Dynasty in 2013 That's probably my best prediction ever LOL.

Clinched #5 in a row today and will try to crown a record number of title winners and set yet another team points record tonight!

I was there watching all weekend. I had a nephew wrestling for another team.

That must’ve been so exciting for him.

Was there as well. Some pretty exciting stuff - PSU, all the youngsters from everywhere, 133, etc. But also some disturbing trends continuing. We can't have 3 hour semifinal and final rounds. The brick situation needs to be cleaned up immediately and there is way too much inconsistency in the interpretation of some critical elements of the sport (TDs, stalling as always). We need to take a cue from baseball and streamline the product.

I agree with every thing you stated. I comment about how there is no way a causal fan can enjoy watching an event when most of the first hour was watching blood clean up and challenges. Let alone when there actually was "action" it was very limited on the action "scoring" part.

I originally thought of the freestyle if you lose a challenge you give up a point, but that may be too harsh. I would consider lose a challenge your opponent gets choice of position the same as after an injury timeout.
