PSU vs. Penn Discussion Thread

This one guy has no idea about wrestling, I feel like he should just let the other guy talk. You can always tell which ones are clueless when they obsess about riding time.

Barraclough was an unranked walk on guys who's only in his 3rd year at the program. Not sure what you guys are looking for from him. I know you want to see Joe Lee but he has his own issues right now obviously.
 
As long as Edsell and Ball don't get bonused, we should win the dual on bonus points..but holy hell..wasn't expecting to be in a 5-5 split with Penn even with 2 of our best guys out..

The lack of offense is a concern..

told you guys about zapf. dude is under the radar. probably time to give joe lee a shot, but i wouldn't totally give up on bearclaw as the guy.
 
James Franklin has petitioned the NCAA to ask them not to allow announcers say the phrase “Penn State is losing currently at half time”. If passed will revisit it next year

To be fair, of the first five weights there was probably 2 Penn State tournament time starters in there and 1 was very clearly nowhere near 100 percent.

The two guys announcing who know nothing about wrestling? One of those guys is a Penn 2 time NCAA champ. He has let a Homer point of view pop out once or twice, but I am guess he probably understands wrestling enough to have a clue.

I’d be much happier with the announcing if they placed two South Park cartoon characters at a announcers table in the upper right of screen

Unreal Edsell..2nd match tonight we gave up take down with less than 5 seconds..this one for the win, Merdith for the major

Good job coming back and getting the TD in OT
 
Here's the fact guys, for some of these kids in the lineup right now, these kind of moments will be the highlight of their Penn State wrestling careers. We pull out the win tonight and I guarantee you Creighton Edsell's memory of this match won't be "Oh man, we wrestled Penn close, what a downer. It'll be half the team was sacked with the flu, we wanted that win bad still and I wrestled my ass off, dug deep in SV and was a difference maker"
 
Good match by Edsell. Didn't he wrestle up to 174 a couple of times the last two years?
 
174 - C* vs Incontrera

Inc in on leg, C* reverses the position, gets the TD, 2-0.
Escape Inc, 2-1
Oh, man!
C* gets standing cradle, rolls Ruthstyle, but it takes them OOB, so just a TD, 4-1.
Escape Inc, TD C*, 6-2
Period end, Inc chooses bottom.
Esc Inc, 6-3
C* had Inc in trouble, but stallmate.
Stall warning on Inc as C* shoots, then finishes for TD, 8-3.
Period ends, C* takes bottom.
Escape C*, 9-3
Right back in on legs, then converts to cradle and rolls OOB, awarded TD, 11-3.
C* riding, now :35 left.
Stall Inc, 12-3
C* rides out, with RT wins 13-3.

PSU 13, Penn 10

Edsell continues to come up big. Love the kid.

Huh? Did he win or lose? The post prior to yours says it was 2nd time tonight "we gave up the takedown with less than 5 seconds to go".... Meredith's given up for a major and Edsell's for a DEC....
