Wrestling Penn State-Michigan State Match Thread

[98lberEating2Lunches]

No Brooks (Ball)
Barraclough going.

Levi officially remains in redshirt. It's an ongoing discussion. No comment about Iowa next week other than that's one we really want to win.

Greg handling loss fine. No excuse about an illness.

Nothing really happening in the transfer portal right now.

Per Coach Kennedy at PSWC social.

Disappointed no Levi or Brooks. Both have quality opponents. I don’t mind seeing guy sitting out vs nobodies but Saldate and Makcewski (spelling) are solid.

Can’t imagine Levi not being the guy at this point so not sure what sitting out this match does? Brooks obviously a huge favorite but with only like 7 matches on the year makes this kind of a head scratcher to me.

Yes..Cael knows best. He is the GOAT wrestler and Coach, that being said as a fan who wants to see our best guys compete every match unless injured is disappointing

Levi deserved the break, and Cael the wriley smile with the continuing intrigue.

I'll eat Brands'twisted tennis shoe is Levi doesn't go Friday.

As for Brooks. He's ready there may be a bug going around the room. I kind of expected Kerk to get a sit today. He didn't pass the eye test and it seemed more than just Parris being that good.

not sure what sitting out this match does?

Prior discussions occurred with both wrestlers earlier this week. Then the decision was made to split the duals based on the best interest of both wrestlers.

Nothing wrong with Brooks.

Keeping everyone healthy and in good spirits is a priority.

(If I understand Coach Kennedy correctly.)

I’m gonna use this when an Iowa guy sits out.

Coach Kennedy also said things could change last minute with 157 and Haines is weighing in.

Turnabout is fair play.

 

[eddy line]

We’d expect nothing less.

Audio sounding great!

 

[billrag]

Not sure if this is going to be the match thread or not. Sounds like Steen is putting on a pretty good show and showing a real effort in the 1st period.

 

[AndEEss]

Gary is technically sound but he’s giving up 5-10lbs to a lot of his competitition.

If there was a 118lb class with current weigh in rules he’d be pretty good.

 

[palmettolion]

Can't pick a guy up and carry him out of bounds, good stall call

 

[billrag]

That's how we do it Gary! Well done young man.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Proud of Gary for getting that W.

 

[AndEEss]

Gary Steen over Lujan!

That’s a feel good W right there.

 

[Waxman1607]

I stand corrected. Lol.

 

[pish69]

STEEN!! Congrats kid!

 

[1AA]

That was exciting. Nice work Steen!
Td in ot

 

[RealMicah]

Good job Gary!

 

[mcpat]

Way to efffen go young Steen!!!!

 

[palmettolion]

Steen wins! Takedown in sudden victory. That should help with his confidence.

 

[PSU James]

Steen for the win!!!! Sudden victory take down. Exciting! Has momentum now.. bring on Spencer what’s his face.

 

[Roar More]

Gary Steen over Lujan!

That’s a feel good W right there.

Great to see his hard work pay off!

 

[86PSUPaul]

Great job Gary!

 

[mcpat]

When he’s not outmuscled, Steen can wrestle. Just needs some size.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Good for Gary. Nice to see him get one for his psyche going forward.

 

[eddy line]

Glad to see no tape on RBY. He looks sharp today. Up 4-1 after one, with lots of riding time.

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Gary is technically sound but he’s giving up 5-10lbs to a lot of his competitition.

If there was a 118lb class with current weigh in rules he’d be pretty good.

Or he could take the Anthony Cassar home study course.

 

[PSUbluTX]

Dang, RBY making Foley look like an unranked wrestler. Take downs at will. And there's the FALL! Wow, I did not expect that level of dominance.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Foley wants to quit.

 

[RealMicah]

Wow RBY! Looked good today

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Pin!

 

[palmettolion]

Foley is wiry and long but he sure isn't doing much other than trying to not get majored. Instead he gets pinned! Nice.

 

[mcpat]

This is getting “fun”

 

[Roar More]

Now we're cookin'!

 

[pish69]

Roman feeling that Steen energy! Let’s Go!

Actually, Cael has mentioned in prior Press Conferences that the guys like Brooks, RBY, Starrocci.... have final say on which duals they will compete in, so you're tilting at windmills on this one imho.

 

[PSU James]

Even though I feel like RBY is holding back or wrestling smart, I do miss those RBY matches with head stands, cart wheels, dive overs and back flips.

 

[RealMicah]

Foley put it on Ragusin this year too

 

[AndEEss]

Like it or not, RBY, Carter and AB get a better match if they can get Gilman, Dake/Nolf and DT to roll with them than they would against MSU and many other schools.
