Penn State v. Indiana Dual Thread (2/5/23)
- Thread starter RoarLions1
- Start date
I don't know any of you who post since I live in Indiana, but I know you now. If you remember, my wife and I were sitting on the first row when you and your friend climbed up behind us. I was the one who asked about the Wheaties box and we talked briefly. I took over three hundred photos of the match. At PSU they won't allow large professional DSLR cameras, but at Indiana it was fine [PSU needs to change their policy]. I also got really good quality video of the last 30 seconds of Carter's match and the rhubarb afterwards.
Whatever your thoughts on the squabble, Carter is really good with his fans. When Carter was signing autographs near the end of the last extra match, he mentioned that he would be back for those who were still waiting. He then went through the line shaking hands with Indiana. Then the entire PSU team headed for the locker room. Carter was the only one to turn around and come back to the pile of fans. I was the first to talk with him as he was walking off the mat. We were from the Erie area and my wife took a couple of shots of us. I still like him in spite of his flaws. I have flaws too. Perhaps I hide them better than he does.
Clearly, Carter was just trying to avoid Cael ...
And probably more than 1 coach per team . . . probably some teammates from each team . . . a few friends of the two wrestlers . . . and then most of those people probably have girlfriends/wives . . . Chinese spy balloons & tech companies . . . WikiLeaks . . . Google . . .
It’s only a matter of time before the fans sitting matside have some clue what happened. 😉
Are we sure about that? They couldn't see Washington not move.
Yep, I remember you. My buddy was the guy honored during intermission. I wish I could have talked to Aaron after but I understand these guys are constantly getting the attention.
WOW.....Where does one begin? :
1. Where does it say that Carter pushed his elbow into Washington's neck after the whistle? It doesn't
2. Where does it say that Carter initiated the confrontation? It doesn't
3. Where does it say Cunningham grabbed Carter? It doesn't
While I feel bad that you can't comprehend the written word......it is useless to try to have a conversation with someone who can't. You enjoy your fairy tales. You might want to start your posts with "Once Upon A Time" Goodbye
Yeah, that seems like a stretch from the available camera angles….
Well, that settles it. Somebody wrote it on the Internet.
Darius stopped in at a little bar here in Johnstown. Was polite, humble and quite accommodating to the customers and enjoyed getting up and playing wagon wheel for everyone. I'd rather of heard Let Her Cry but ya know...
We saw Skynyrd was playing at the Bloomsburg fair like 20 ish years ago, so we got tickets. They had an illness or health issue somehow so they got Hootie and The blowfish to sub in and it was a great show. We had a few drinks downtown prior to heading to the hotel and my wife asked me if I wanted to leave. I told her not yet, the band just rolled in. She thought I was kidding until she saw them, he was a good fellow.
Who knows? Maybe a few times he was having a bad day and whatever? He was good to us though.
He didn't say a punch was thrown - he said, "....then all of the sudden after it’s over wants to act like he’s going to throw a punch". There's a huge difference between the two and you are clearly misquoting him insinuating that he claimed a punch was actually thrown.
BTW, the first thing that clearly demonstrates Washington was the aggressor is the mat Ref's actions of immediately getting in front of Washington, literally grabbing him and pushing him backwards away from Starocci (the official clearly saw Washington as the aggressor).
Another thing that very clearly demonstrates Washington as the aggressor is the fact that after they are separated and things calmed down, Washington completely ignores the Mat Ref's instructions to remove the ankle wraps, leave them at center mat and shake hands before he raises the winner's hand. The video CLEARLY shows that Starocci was listening to, and followed, the Mat Refs instructions removes his ankle wraps and allows the official to grab his wrist in preparation for hand raising, while Washington is ignoring the Mat Ref instructions, still aggressively jawing at Starocci and acting in an aggressive manner - to the point where his coach is restraining him and, in fact, NEVER removes his ankle bands. Completely ignores the Mat Ref's instructions and instead continues to act, and jaw, aggressively as Starocci is IGNORING HIM and doing as the Mat Ref instructed him to do.
In addition, here is a second person who is completely unaffiliated with either school who analyzes the end of the match and sees Washington as the clear initiator directly after the buzzer - not Starocci! Go figure!

He should stop play Wagon Wheel and leave it to Old Crow Medicine Show. It is as bad as Guns and Roses doing Knocking on Heavens Door.
I thought they did a pretty good version of that but whatever 🤷
I don't have problems with covers. I just feel like Rucker has tried to claim this as his own. Kind of like so many have recorded Pancho and Lefty and not mention that it came from Townes Van Zandt.
Some covers take off and yes I know Townes did it first. Shane Smith and the Saints did a nice cover of that too btw.
I mentioned whiskey in the jar because my wife heard Thin Litzy’s version and thought someone ripped off metallica.
I mansplained how Thin Lizzy did like twenty five years prior but the song actually has been around since maybe the 1600 or 1700s
She was mad at my super extra big brain man smartness.
Lizzy does it best but Metallica did it justice...Metallica whiffed badly on "Turn the page" though because that song requires singing which a$$hole Hetfield cannot do at all.
There are many instances where a "tribute" performance of a song is more popular/famous than the original. "All Along The Watchtower" being a good example (written and originally performed by Bob Dylan, but the more famous tribute performance by Jimmi Hendrix). "I Shot The Sherriff" another good example (Original written and performed by Bob Marley, but more famous tribute performances by Eric Clapton).
Hetfield as vocalist -6
Seger as vocalist -7
Lets not mistake “performer” for vocalist.
Full discloser: Metallica is my GOAT.
#masharaindamadodamada
I'll go you one further:
Hetfield as a singer: 4
Hetfield as a human being: 0
And I also am a Metallica fan.
For St. Paddy’s day I downloaded like ten different versions for a Whiskey In The Jar playlist lol.
Exactly right! No team deduction by ref because this was a big nothing burger. Guys in the heat of battle are gonna jaw a little now and then. Our guys are not out of some cookie cutter. For every AB we are gonna see a wrestler with a bit of hot blood. Cael’s not running a cult.

Almost every Dylan song is done better by other people. Watchtower (Hendrix), Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (GnR), Tangled Up In Blue (JGB), Mr. Tambourine Man (Byrds), Dylan was/is a great song writer, not so great singer.
Marley > Clapton
I 2nd that.
Of particular note was Marley> Clapton which is not the common opine.
Addendum: John Lennon solo music sucks.
I’m not sure, both were giants . I’m born in the early sixties btw and imo I think Clapton was much more commercially successful. Reggae was more niche back then btw.
Want a controversial local pa opinion? The Badlees were better than Hootie, lolol
But Hootie dominated the music scene and pushed aside bands like this with the help of grunge .
I recommend diving into Irish music , I’m no expert but it’s great stuff. I’ll find some stuff and post it here.
The drop kick murphys are an obvious one, but there’s other smaller but interesting artists . To me it’s like red dirt/Texas country . A whole new genre to explore.
