I just turned 60 last week and my family got me tickets to Nebraska match in Rec Hall. I've never been to State College for dual match. Is there a go to to spot before or after matches that would have a wrestling crowd.?

Since the Nebraska match isn't until February, might want to check back on this closer to the time. Whiskers will probably still be the answer, but things haven't exactly been predictable.
The Nittany Lion Inn, including Whiskers, is closed until at least next summer. It is being used to host COVID quarantine in insolation.
There are a number of bars/restaurants on College Avenue. You can park in the Fraser Street garage and go there and walk up the hill to Rec Hall. I don't know of any that are specifically targeting wrestling fans. The Federal Tap House advertises as the host for wrestling fans but the last few times we went there after a dual we couldn't get a table because they were basically closed. That was pre COVID obviously.
I was in the Phyrst a few times from 1982 - 1985. Went there 1982 after The Nebraska football game. If I remember I saw a band called Phyrst Family. I also think I whacked my head on a pipe on the stairway. ???Federal Tap House is bumping after a big Friday evening dual--but we only have 1 of those this year (Buckeyes the Friday before Nebby). I ran into Lorenzo and Fritz both after the ASU dual there. Bill Pickles is another spot I've seen w/ some wrestling fans. The newest expansion from the Phyrst's liquor license also has a nice "adult" vibe in a town that mostly caters to undergrads.
Lol, sounds just about right. The Phyrst is still there, and every bit the dive you would remember if you could. My elementary school buddy's mom played in the Phyrst Family. The new places are called Local Whiskey and Central Reservation--and they're both far classier (the latter the classiest).I was in the Phyrst a few times from 1982 - 1985.

I knew a PSU football trainer who was from my high school and he got me 4 tickets to the game. We sat in the parents section.If I remember I saw the south end goal post cruising up College Ave
Was on the field in the masses while it was being pulled down. Then, a couple hours later there it was being trotted thru town.
I remember having my toes nearly on the back line of the end zone when Stone Hands caught his second TD of the day. It was glorious.I was in the Phyrst a few times from 1982 - 1985.

I’m assuming these places aren’t closed on Sunday? Gonna try to get there early this Sunday to eat and put a few down before the match.Federal Tap House is bumping after a big Friday evening dual--but we only have 1 of those this year (Buckeyes the Friday before Nebby).

I definitely am not going there. My nephew's baby's momma works there. lolThe end zone is a must stop!
Not all of it, our dorm was a tight group and we broke off a piece on a utility pole and took part of it back to East Halls. I had a hacksaw and most of us got a piece of it.If I remember I saw the south end goal post cruising up College Ave

Were you standing and the railing getting crushed, next to a guy who said, if we get inside the 20 I am over this wall. We jumped the wall and everyone followed like a giant wave. The cops ran at us then headed to the goal line.I remember having my toes nearly on the back line of the end zone when Stone Hands caught his second TD of the day. It was glorious.
And I may have been on stage singing with Ernie that night too. It was a blur.
Oh yeah, and my wife is in a picture on the wall as you descend the stairs.
Nope. I was on the field. I used to carry a megaphone around in those days.Were you standing and the railing getting crushed, next to a guy who said, if we get inside the 20 I am over this wall.

It wasn’t just a phone, it was a megaphone!Nope. I was on the field. I used to carry a megaphone around in those days.
Where's the suitcase that goes with it?It wasn’t just a phone, it was a megaphone!
Closest I could find to a megaphone that amplifies gifs.Nope. I was on the field. I used to carry a megaphone around in those days.
I’d think they’d all be open this Sunday, now that the semester is back in session, and they also serve food.I’m assuming these places aren’t closed on Sunday? Gonna try to get there early this Sunday to eat and put a few down before the match.
I’m guessing we’ve met.Nope. I was on the field. I used to carry a megaphone around in those days.
Yep. I was just a bit before your time. But not much!I’m guessing we’ve met.
and your wife being on the wall descending into Ernie’s Banjo Palace doesn’t really narrow things down much. Lol.
I was in the stands listening to you, and probably cheering along!!!Nope. I was on the field. I used to carry a megaphone around in those days.
I was also in the Student section whipping around marshmallows before the "tradition" was banned. I rushed the field, but didn't participate in tearing down the goal post.I was in the stands listening to you
Ahh, I threw many marshmallows but I never rushed the field, not sure exactly why…. I do remember one game where they had police circle the goalpost to keep them from being pulled down. One guy jumped up and grabbed the crossbeam, the police pulled him, effectively pulling down the goalpost!I was also in the Student section whipping around marshmallows before the "tradition" was banned.

I had one occasion of playing pickup basketball against Blackledge at the IM building with some D-linemen on my side. I bridged Todd when he went over my back for an offensive rebound. He complained I might've ended his career. A D-lineman laughed.
It wasn't my finest moment, but back then I was pretty hardwired when it came to competition.
I stated this before , I've never been a social media guy, No Facebook,Twitter ECT. This site was first site I ever joined . I was trying to come up with catchy screen name. Looking back The Call the Stall lingo was not well thought out because it does present the illusion that I'm one those screaming idiot fans. The only time I think I have yelled that catch phrase has been because of my disappointment at high school matches. I would get upset when a referee was intimidated to make call against a veteran high school coach. An example would have been when Nunnamaker was at Nazareth. His kids would stall the whole 3rd period if they had lead against Rohn's Northampton teams. The only ref that would make a stall call was Gene Wass.I’ve enjoyed reading your posts for several years Call. But I must admit, when I first saw your screen name, I was sure you were a Hawkeye fan. Your avatar allayed my suspicions.
Nope she's an ex. No chance me being in PA or thereShe might rat you out!
were you Moose house in Steward Hall?Ahh, I threw many marshmallows but I never rushed the field, not sure exactly why…. I do remember one game where they had police circle the goalpost to keep them from being pulled down. One guy jumped up and grabbed the crossbeam, the police pulled him, effectively pulling down the goalpost!
A guy on our floor had a piece of the Nebraska game post.
I was a student for the 81 through 85 seasons. I know I also saw @Cowbell Man in suit, and probablypassed him over my head a few times.
It’s actually a great name…if you were an Iowa fan!Thanks,
This was the first social media/fan forum I ever joined. I tried to come up with a catchy name. If I had to do it again I would choose something different. With an exception of watching a high school match and ref failing to make guys wrestle ,I never yell the catch phrase.
