Looking at the score, Franklin can only wish his football team could do as well.

I'm always happy for the guy who gets a rare chance and pulls off an impressive victory.
That Terrill kid needs a gym membership though.
Disagree.
I get missing a locked hands call. I don’t get making one up.
Disagree on your analysis of the ankle stall. There was complete separation except ankle and it doesn’t matter anyway.
And for something you find nauseating, you wrote more about it than everyone else combined.
Yes!
People who say things like "he can't be stalling with 1 sec left" or "he can't be stalling now because he took all the shots earlier," can't complain that the refs don't call stalling enough.
Levi's sheer will to win is truly unbelievable to be honest. It's easy to fold when you're the heavily favored and look finished.
Would I prefer he dominates? Yes, we always do but I have to give him his flowers. Not sure I've seen a PSU wrestler quite like this, maybe Cenzo? Though, Cenzo never gave me this level of heart attack.

Franklin can't face Iowa every week.
The announcers remind me of a similar pair of announcers years ago during a Nebraska streaming match - when a wrestler started on top they actually excitedly said “he has the takedown but they’re not going to give it to him!”…lord help us
Zain. Especially freshman year, but he had some real gut-check wins after his shirt too.
Barraclaugh is killing it in the post dual interview w/ Byers.
He didn't make it up. The assistant ref's job is to look for locked hands. He looked under and saw locked hands - which they were. He was not in position to see Saldate's body position.
Unfortunately, by the time the head ref sees the lock hands call by the assistant, the body position had changed. Circumstance of events, corrected by replay.
This is exactly how the ref and the assistant ref are supposed to work. Locked hands on mat return (and in all advantage positions) is something they instruct the assistant ref to look for.
Didn’t the football team beat MSU 42-0?
You are correct! Sorry. I was recalling that late exchange with Sloan that Sloan had nearly converted and even looked like he had at one point, but time ran out.

You must have edited to include the ankle stall. Go back and watch the replay. If you don't see Levi turn back into Saldate twice (at which time the ref stopped the count) I'll have to conclude you are blind.
He cant even coach wrestling and you want him to coach FOOTBALL
sorry if you dont know the joke
Oddly pleased with close matches for Levi and MM (well, closer, anyway, plus a deficit to erase). Both Spartans lost in blood round last year, so potential for upsets definitely there. Overcoming match adversity is just more proof how special these two Lions are. Can’t wait to watch.
Yep. But that was football. When you're wrestling it's tough to beat anybody by five converted touchdowns. Today, sitting three starters (149, 174, HWT), Sanderson's kids found a way to do just that -- on the road.
It wouldn't have been the worst thing to happen had Levi lost. He's wrestling slightly tighter than he did last year, and this match might actually help him wrestle more freely than what he has been wrestling so far this year.
I was listening to Ironhead, at times I wish Pitchfork Rebel's wife was next to Ironhead. He goes all out during these matches and leaves it all at the microphone.
Huge effort. Love him!
I feel like Levi’s high crotch isn’t working like it was last year. Did folks see something on tape? Is he not hitting it as hard? I still see the same aggressiveness but his go-to isn’t as effective right now.
Finally got to watch to OT in the Haines match. He didn't return Saldate to the mat for a long time, so I'm not sure I can complain about that call--but for the 1,000th time, UTB is a TERRIBLE product.
How's this for an idea. Regulation RT becomes criterea, but you get the 2 min SV period, and if the guy who has criterea doesn't yet have a stall warning, he gets one at the start of SV.
Usually, my rule ideas get torn apart pretty quick--so go ahead tell me why this wouldn't work.

how about bearclaw he tried to turn that kid whole 3rd periond and ref call him for stalling!!what a joke Byers had no words for that call!
Pretty wild for a one sided shut out. MSU wrestled a lot harder and with much more heart than Michigan. Almost a shame they got shut out by a team starting 3 backups wrestling above their natural weight.
Byers audio and headphones on one computer and BTN+ on second computer with big screen- how do you sync them ???
Thanks
Thanks
It seems that last year he would get that Hi-C and blast right through guys. This year not so much. Levi a little off or guys knowing what to expect and adjusting accordingly? I don't know enough to be sure.
I wish OT was put the two guys on their feet and unplug the clock. First score wins.
As said, Great interview by Terrell. He, David Evans and now Lucas have had a weekend where in the distant future they can have their grandkids on their laps and say "and let me tell you the story about when I wrestled for Penn State and we took a trip to the State of Michigan".
Man are we blessed!
Man are we blessed!
can't say MM score was close the kid caught one move the rest all MM!!
The biggest challenge is getting a "pausible" feed of Byers. For me, Lionvision on my iPhone in Safari (not the app) works. Usually--Byers is ahead of video feed. Then, you listen for a whistle to start action, and pause until you see the ref raise his hand on the same whistle. Works like a charm every time. It's amazing how audible whistles are--even at nationals.
More wrest
Yeah, but according to the student announcers the Spartans are a "wrestling powerhouse".
