How's this for a busy opening weekend?
Most schools would consider sending eight wrestlers to the NCAA tournament a success.
Tomorrow is all about a second chance.

This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to watch three different Penn teams - football, men's soccer and women's soccer - compete against rival Princeton. And in New Jersey, no less.
PRINCETON, N.J. - The women's soccer team had played a hard-fought 105 minutes against rival Princeton, but with just one kick and a touch of the head, Saturday's game - and the Quakers' 2008 season - ended abruptly.
The only thing standing between Brown and its first Ivy League championship since 2005 is Yale.
Despite being already eliminated from Ivy League title contention, the women's soccer team was determined to upset rival Princeton in both teams' final game of the year. But while the Quakers were able to push the match to two overtimes, a header by Princeton senior Taylor Numann off a corner in the 106th minute gave the Tigers a 2-1 win.
Since Zeke Jones stepped down as the head coach of the Penn wrestling team on Sept. 27 in order to take the same position with USA Wrestling, the Penn reins have been up for grabs.
Penn students might know David Pottruck for the fitness center that bears his name, but they probably don't know much else about the member of the College Class of 1970.
The wait is finally over.
Senior tight end Josh Koontz clearly remembers last year's triple-overtime thriller against Yale.
Coming into Saturday's game with Dartmouth, the women's soccer team had gone undefeated in its past seven matches and, at 2-0-1, controlled its Ivy destiny.

With former Penn wrestling coach Zeke Jones on his way to Colorado Springs to head the U.S. National Freestyle team, attention now turns to the Quakers' future.
As the starting quarterback for Dartmouth, junior Alex Jenny often surprises people when he reveals his field of study.
This year the football team has been plagued by its inability to put together two solid halves on both sides of the ball.
Mike Whittington won a national championship with Notre Dame in 1977, as Joe Montana quarterbacked the Fighting Irish to an 11-1 season.
Robert Irvin - he's in the game.
