[District four]

Thanks Tom. Hoping to get good highlights in aruba. Ran into a few Iowa fans down here but held back on the smack talk except for the guy wearing Ohio state gear couldn't help myself. I was civil all in good fun. Made sure I didn't put psu in a bad light lol. WE ARE. Which is exactly what I told him. Lol

Personally, I would love to see 141 as the last match. Some forms of (planned) drama are good for the sport. But, alas, it is doubtful to happen unless they draw for starting weights or the coaches simply agree to it (again, doubtful).

Brought Mrs JA to her first dual tonight.

Can't help but think back to the last home dual with tOSU. If we have half as much f*n tonight, we're all in for a treat.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

we'll get Shane Sparks again doing PBP on BTN

 

[Creek Side]

Bo, Shane, and JD right now. I hope Bo is in the seat all night

 

[RoarLions1]

Hodge winners at intermission. Cool stuff.

That should be great, and enjoyed by everyone. Well, except for @CropDuster507, who has a different idea of a perfect halftime show.

Gotta like the pre-game of wrestling! So much better than....

 

[bowandarrow]

LOVE the love for wrestling on BTN tonight.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Byers is up on the GoPSUsports.com audio stream.

 

[tikk10]

Nice that BTN included a half hour of pre-dual hype. Great to see Bo, and the interview here with Matt Millen is pretty good. He legitimately follows the team.

Berge weighed in, as did Pipher, per Byers

 

[Used2BEerie]

Berge weighed in tonight, so maybe!

 

[7brwnpsu]

This parking is total Bullshit.

 

[dmm53]

Berge weighed in, as did Pipher, per Byers

Interesting. Is this the first time he has weighed in since his last (only) match this season?

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Nice graphic on BTN. Penn State, Iowa, Tosu and Minnesota with a combined seven #1 wrestlers in the double header tonight. (Plus four #2s.)

 

[SRATH]

Fantastic National Anthem

CS interview with Byers:
- seems like people look forward to the tOSU dual
- in practice this week, the energy is good, guys are getting healthy, and excited
- Asked about Meredith: -- big match, he's got to go compete hard, finish shots, have good positioning, it would be huge for us if he went out there and set the tone for us
- Asked about 141: -- Nick needs to wrestle a smart match, like he's been doing. Pletcher is a great counter wrestler. They may see each other 3 times this year
- Verk: -- hopefully he can build on the confidence from his last match
- Shak: -- it's a tough matchup up today, but hopefully he takes advantage of it
- 184: -- AB is a big-match guy, and stays calm. We're coming up on a lot of big matches, so he just needs to stay himself
- Asked about Ohio State: -- the last win @ Rec Hall, we had a great crew, and they had a great crew. The rivalry has really been great. They've had some great wrestlers in recent years, and it's good for the sport

Obviously could change, but BTN lists Gardner at 49 and Pipher at 57

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Berge weighed in, as did Pipher, per Byers

Cueing my all-time favorite gif:

 

[SRATH]

No Robes

 

[fronk71]

No Verk or Berge

 

[Diego Badman]

we'll get Shane Sparks again doing PBP on BTN

Is it just me, or does it sound like Sparks puts an “s” on the end of State as in Penn States?

 

[diggerpup]

Obviously could change, but BTN lists Gardner at 49 and Pipher at 57

BTN crawler didn't have Cenzo going vs Wick last week, either.

 

[dmm53]

Is Berge dressed and on the mat for introductions? I see Verk, I think.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Byers says it's SRO at the BJC

 

[Used2BEerie]

No Verk or Berge

Easy on that, BTN is wrong on line ups quite often.
