WrestleStat dual comparison. (Note: I put Campbell in at 125 because of the doubt that Hildebrandt will start.)

[dmm53]

There will likely be relatively close matches at 157 and 165.

184 could also be an interesting challenge for Brooks, who beat Cochran last year 18-5. But this year Cochran is wrestling really well. Record is 14-1 (see below) and he just won the Southern Scuffle:

I hope you packed a brass horn/instrument of some kind. Give ‘em Hell. 😉

 

[BeefSkull]

Any free options to watch the match this evening ??

Don't think so you could listen too Jeff Byers on the radio

 

[slushhead]

Any free options to watch the match this evening ??

^^ Who the heck is this guy? BeefSkull? Are you serious? Who comes up with a name like that?

Oh, wait.

 

[Creek Side]

Does anyone know if Maryland still has the annoying heckler that yells the entire match?

 

[dmm53]

Curious to learn if there will be any Robin Ficker sightings among those in attendance. Probably more an issue of being an ear-witness than an eye-witness, however.

 

[dmm53]

Does anyone know if Maryland still has the annoying heckler that yells the entire match?

Robin Ficker. See post above this one. He might be too busy running for Governor of MD.

And Post #10.

 

[tikk10]

Oh, wait.

BEEFSKÜLL is a northern indigenous Finnish doom metal band.

Okay, I made that up, but I'm basically right.

 

[CurtisLoew40]

Is this on the regular big10 network?

Bigplus

 

[Kale_yeah]

Good guys 40- terps 3

 

[dunkej01]

I would guess there is 700 people here already and it's 90% psu people.

 

[PSUranger]

Did Drew weigh in?

 

[Jplions4]

Is this on the regular big10 network?

Big10 plus

 

[backdrft76]

Byers live. 1 extra bout at 57 for Bearclaw. Campbell and Manville traveled with the team.

Drew going tonight per Cael!
Also Negron. No comments on Brady.

 

[dmm53]

One extra bout tonight.

Cumulative score of PSU vs. MD over Cael's career: PSU 214 - MD 15

MD has beaten PSU once in something like 47 matches. In 1965. Two ties.

 

[SJP80]

Mason Manville sighting, traveled with the team. 165#

 

[slushhead]

I would guess there is 700 people here already and it's 90% psu people.

Ok, maybe hold off on the brass horn/instrument idea.

 

[dbldoofus]

^^ Who the heck is this guy? BeefSkull? Are you serious? Who comes up with a name like that?

Oh, wait.

Sounds like a name a doofus would pick.

Oh, wait.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Starters for UMD at 157 (skin check) and 165 (injury) out for tonight. Latter is out for the year.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Hildebrandt it is at 125

 

[pish69]

Started for UMD at 157 (skin check) and 165 (injury) out for tonight. Latter is out for the year.

What?

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

What?

Autocorrected from starters to started.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Gonna be a shutout.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Hildebrandt’s opponent tonight, Zach Spence, is 0-9 on the year and hasn’t been particularly close in any of his matches. So a tech/pin would be wholly unsurprising.

 

[Creek Side]

Anyone else not have the cast feature available like usual? Its grayed out for me on my phone

 

[pish69]

Autocorrected from starters to started.

So two forfeits?

 

[5q]

Wondered why manville hasn’t broken through at 165

 

[Thenightking]

lets get ready to rumble!!!!!!

 

[billrag]

Why would Maryland forfeit at 157, but offer Penn State a second match at the same weight?
