Three seniors took the mat for Penn State tonight for their final regular season home dual meet in the classic blue and white singlet. They didn't disappoint. Nico Megaludis scored a major in the opening bout, and classmate Jordan Conaway followed him with a pin. And the rout was on. By the time Morgan McIntosh stepped forward at 197lbs, his teammates had laid waste to a pitiable Michigan State team. Morg's certainly a kind and empathetic man - but not on the mat. That's why he, too, destroyed his Sparty opponent by fall. The final score: Penn State 41, Michigan State 3.

BSD Wrestlers of the Meet
The seniors, of course. Two pins and a major were just icing on the cake.
Three Completely Unrelated, Probably Useless Thoughts
1) If you can explain Jimmy Gulibon to me, I'd be very grateful. Two not-so-good losses this weekend, and the Big Ten Championships are just around the corner. Please leave your guidance in the comments.
2) Those three seniors - Megaludis, Conaway, and McIntosh - went a combined 141-16 in dual meets for Dear Old State. Not too shabby.
3) Penn State's wrestled Sparty - who won a national title in the 60's - each of the last 10 seasons. The Lions are 10-0, and have outscored MSU by a combined 332 to 70. Sparty's never been closer than 26-13, in 2007. In the last 5 years, the score's 195 to 12. Hopefully Sparty falls off the schedule next season to be replaced by Iowa. Sparty would probably like that, too.
