Roll Call for Tulsa

[WexfordWarrior]

Allright. The seeds are drawn. The scalpers are getting desperate(just kidding. There is no inventory in the lower bowl). So who is going and who is on the fence? @82bordeaux and I will be in an all PSU Sky Loft . There is a PSWC mixer between Sessions 1&2 at McNellies. It may be sold out but that is just upstairs. So I agree . It is:

 

[Lyco1990]

I’ll be there all by my lonesome. The crew decided against Tulsa I scored a suite ticket.

[pawrestlersintn]

My Dad and I will be there. Seats are in 327, but he likes to get ADA seats, due to multiple hardware replacements causing mobility difficulty. So, I'll likely be back and forth.

[HOCKEYGOD11]

If by Tulsa you mean my sofa.. yes .. I will be there..

[SpikingWhamos]

Just couldn't find a way to justify the logistical friction for Tulsa. Mrs. Whamos and I will be attempting to recreate the experience in Annapolis

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

Ye

Yeah.. the cost of flights combined with the experience of Oklahoma City (Tulsa may be worse ) and the fact we have some big travel plans coming up.. just couldn't justify the cost of going this year..

Dropping the kids off at school 9:00. Eat some steak and eggs. Put the phone in airplane mode. Country roads to I70 E. Peaceful drive through Kansas and down I135. Maybe hit Eisenhower library in Abilene. More likely skip it and say “next time I drive through Kansas” like every other time. Can’t wait! Love the Kansas drive!

 

[lockhavenlion3]

will be there with a crew of 4. driving down from chicago on march 14.
staying with the pswc. first long drive since we were run off the road by
the biggest 5 wheeler i've ever seen on our way to outback bowl two years
ago, but that's another story😋.

I’ll likely be headed south on 169 through KS as well.

 

[RoarLions1]

Mrs. Roar and I will be there. Just look for a man in a ROAR shirt on Thursday.

Paid psupaul hater.

Paid psupaul hater.

Paul's my guy. Same posse.

 

[LHavenlion]

Suite crew from last year not going. My son and I will be, though. Section 327 - no suite

 

[Aardvark86]

Yeah? And what'll you be wearing? (I kid, i kid.)

 

[Sleepylion]

Me and PapaSleepy will be there.

 

[tikk10]

I had too much going on this year too so I'm going to be watching from @HOCKEYGOD11 's sofa, drinking his bourbon.

 

[LOTOlion]

I’ll be there as well…. Not that anyone cares 🥺

 

[KCLion]

We should meet @LOTOlion

Hopefully see u there. Missed you at Big10 get together.

 

[NCPsuFan]

I’ll be there Wed through Sunday. Greatest week of the year.

Yeah. #1 son decided to move that weekend, so I spent almost all of it in Harrisburg.

 

[amattaro]

When/where we meeting, fellas?

 

[ccdiver]

I dropped a second mortgage taking the little woman to The Phantom of the Opera in January. When I suggested Tulsa, she suggested a future second Phantom trip. When I pushed harder for Tulsa, she suggested a future second wife.

I can’t afford any of the things previously mentioned, so I will be following the tournament closely… to Xfinity and beyond.

 

[PSU James]

I am ready and excited to be heading down Wednesday. Hotel is about 13 miles away from the venue. Supposedly staying where the team is. Can’t just rent a semi motorized bicycle and ride empty streets to the venue. So I’ll be there.

 

[diggerpup]

Hitting Ann Arbor in a last Friday's freak snowstorm was good enough for me.

I'll be streaming this one from my iPad.

 

[LOTOlion]

Sounds like a good idea...

 

[Gumby79]

Got keep the streak going. Deadeye Sky and I have been to every Championship since wrestling was invented in 2010.

 

[PSUAllTheWay]

I'll be watching from home again this year. My Dad and I went to every NCAA tournament between 1990 - 2017 but he can't make the trip anymore. I went in 2019 by myself but it just wasn't the same. I'm sure you guys would make it fun, though. Espn+ will be my friend this time around!

 

[WexfordWarrior]

I’ll be there in that box with you and 82.

Great! Who do you know in KC that would have a suite available in 2024? 😹

 

[androcles]

...our group of 9 will be there...
...this will be my 60th NCAAs ...
...I am happy to have my son and two grandsons as part of our group...
...I will be celebrating the 70th anniversary of the 1953 Penn State team which was the first Eastern team to win the NCAA team title...

 

[diggerpup]

Not to take the Tulsa thread off-track (I posted this in the pinned TV thread as well):
______________________________________________________

How do I watch ALL mats for NCAAs??

I cut the TV cord recently, and stream everything on my laptop or iPad.

My go-to during football and wrestling season are YouTubeTV and BTN+.

To be able to stream all of the mats for NCAAs, will I need to have:

(1) Pirate someone's cable provider email account and password (a buddy who has DirectTV, Comcast, etc).
or
(2) Simply buy a month of ESPN+ for $9.99/mo ??

Thanks ahead of time.

 

[WexfordWarrior]

How do I watch ALL mats for NCAAs??

Only one way to guarantee no streaming issues:

To all that are traveling to Tulsa, please travel safely.

To those sitting on someone else's couch, drinking someone else's bourbon...or the host of that wonderful affair (been there -- in 2021!), please be safe as well

To everyone here, enjoy the wrestling! All your hard work on this forum has made you ready, as ready as you'll ever be. You are peaking at the right time. Have fun, relax, and post with good effort and energy .

I appreciate your encouragement, but feel as a board we may have peaked too early. We all need to re-assess our goals, confer with our coaches and make sure we are primed for peak performance in Tulsa. The hated Hawks and Tigers to the west, as well as the Big Red to the north, must be squashed, like bug v windshield, so that only the Lions can be called Champions come Saturday night (or Friday afternoon, if need be).

Let no Turd go unflushed. Fight like warrior poets, boardmates! On to victory!!!

This is very true.. I peaked around 20 years ago.. I'll give it my best though!!

Worse yet, I fear that we are bringing an insufficient number of scoring posters to the tournament.
