What a weekend for Penn State Nation, a berth in the NCAA Ice Hockey Championships and another wrestling title for Sanderson's bunch.

The voice of Pegula Rodney Martin roars in for his take on Penn State hockey as they get set for Maine on Friday. Has he. ever seen a hockey team go from down and out to so smoking hot like Penn State this season? How close is this team to being truly special and can they do it?
Last but not least we put a wrap on wrestling. Did a record setting team actually meet expectations? Can Penn State ever meet even its own standard? We ask Frank how crazy were nationals and Oklahoma State is coming.
