I think Roar's intent was D1 wrestling.

My interests are very similar. I'll add Va Tech - UNI and a more esoteric one: Wiscy at Duke. I sat next to Jake Faust's parents on the subway on Thursday night in NYC, before he was set to face off vs Morelli, and they were really nice people.

How is Lehigh both at Pitt and at home against Northwestern on the 18th?

 

[El-Jefe]

He's busy breaking down the West Virginia lineup for the 18th.

 

[RoarLions1]

Good catch. Copied and pasted, so didn't check closely. the Lehigh website does not have a Northwestern Dual. I'll edit the OP.

 

[nittanybrian]

I would add November 19th "Battle at the Birthplace" Princeton @ Rutgers, for the history and it's an outdoor match. Should be a Rutgers blowout but still fun.

I would slow down with the RU blowout.

 

[Abro1975]

Princeton matches up very well w Rutgers. Ashnault is going to have quite the battle against Kolodzik who split with Ashnault at the Midlands last season. RU should win 6 of the 10 bouts. RU will give up 6-10 points at 197 & 285. Princeton has ranked wrestlers at 141, 149, 174, 184, 197 & 285. This match will be decided by about 4-6 points .

BTN plus w live coverage.

 

[CropDuster507]

I might get to head down to UNI for the VTech dual. I'm kinda excited to see West Gym.

 

[Ja1339]

Roar, assume there will likely be a Bojo v Zahid matchup in the tOSU v ASU match. Think Zahid makes it interesting?

Abro. ..could u help a guy out. I'm heading to the football game this weekend. Any suggestions u might have, dos don't etc would be greatly appreciated.

Hunting in the morning so won't be in NJ until 4ish. Thanks in advance.

If Zahid doesn't gas, he makes it more than interesting

Sure. The best place to park and tailgate IF you don't have a prepaid parking pass is Johnson Park right across the street from the Stadium on River Rd, but getting there at 4 is cutting it close to get in, plus that lot is now up to $45. The next best thing is to take River Rd off of 287 go toward the stadium , about 100 yards before the Stadium is St George Greek Church at the corner of River Rd and Riverview Ave, turn there, drive up a bit, and all the homeowners rent out parking spots on their lawns for $20. Plus it is a very short walk to the Stadium.

Outside the stadium there will be an outdoor bar and pavillion with Food plus a stage with rock music. There are also trucks selling very good food, eg FAT Sandwiches, Gyros , cheese steaks etc. You can even carry your own beer , and grab a picnic table at Athletes Glen right next to where they sell the beer and food.

Not sure if I answered the type of questions you have, but I will check back here and answer anything else you have..

Weather looks good, so it should be close to a sell out.

I was thinking about the same. RU going to be big favorites at 125 and 133, Princeton at 197 and 285. Probably same amount of bonus each way. RU should win 157 and 165. 174 probably a slight favorite to Princeton. Assuming Theobold at 149, should be a favorite over Laster of Princeton. But I would like Laster if Giraldo goes 149 and Theobold 157 (they did that against one of the Caly teams). 184 - I don't know what to expect. Love Gravina, but the Baker win over Dechow makes this match uncertain. 141 a tossup.

I think Abro right on with RU winning 6. I'll say 21-15.

Thanks so much and timely at that. Not to bog down the thread but.....My son and my nephew would like to join my father and I on the trip. Is it possible there will be scalpers outside the game? Also not that I would hold you to it, but the prices on line are a little outrageous in my opinion, so do you think they will be fair outside the stadium. I have been going to PSU games nearly as long as I am old and there are always those games that push the scalper price, but this wouldnt be that game in Happy Valley, just wondering if it would in NJ. Our NJ/NY alumni and the night game twist my thoughts though. Again Thanks in advance!

This Penn St game at Rutgers will be the biggest crowd only because Penn St's good season will bring out many NJ PSU alums out. There are ALWAYS scalpers, expect over 100 for good lower level seats, around 75-100 lower level end zone, about same upstairs. Bring a seating chart with you, easy to find anywhere online. Rutgers has it's own online ticket exchange resale site, prices aren't too much different:

http://www.tixcity.com/2712016/Rutgers-Scarlet-Knights-vs-Penn-State-Nittany-Lions

Another option is to go to the RU rivals ticket resale board, but you will have to hook up with the seller outside the stadium I would imagine.

Good luck.

"This Penn St game at Rutgers" Those tickets will be impossible to get. You'd be better off trying for the Rutgers match at Penn State.

Wrong. At $100 there are plenty . Check those links I posted.

This is the wrestling forum. You must be lost.

He was good enough to answer dunk's questions and you're giving him grief? Maybe you didn't bother reading the post(s) he is responding to.

Understood. I was just asking if you or others had an opinion on this matchup. Thank you for posting the team matchups.

The Zahid / Bo match will be a good one. Has Bo (Jordan) even wrestled yet this year?

Great stuff, Dice & Abro. Holy crap, I'm now stoked for a Princeton-Rutgers wrestling dual. It being outside is a bonus!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Will tell us a good bit about both of them.

As for Bo, I don't believe he's wrestled this season in a competition. tOSU sent some guys to the Eastern Michigan Open on 11/5, and some guys to the Journeymen Classic on 11/13, but their 1st dual is not until Saturday, against ASU.
