@Hotshoe @Tom McAndrew Sorry for the tag, but any chance you can please pin or sticky this thread? There has been a few requests here. It's a classic, and we don't want to lose it over time. A lot of work goes into creating these videos. And I'm sure more will be added to it in the future. Thanks! 😀
Again, thanks to @nerfstate and @ItalianLion for doing this so that we could all enjoy these memories for hopefully years to come!

Mike Lange play by play guy for the Penguins retired yesterday. I always thought that there is only one other guy that can put me right in the middle of the action when listening to him on the radio. That guy is Jeff Byers. Myron Cope was another favorite of mine but for very different reasons. He was “sloppy” with his speech, unique in the way he called the games, irritating as hell if you weren’t a Steeler fan and he just felt as if he was one of us (my fellow Steeler fan buddies).
Oy!
Oy!

Here you go--not my best work--both start off w/ the rokfin audio until JB fades in a few seconds in--one was my mistake, and one was the commercial break on the radio.
(this one was still processing at the time I'm posting--stay tuned)
@ItalianLion Feel free to do w/ this what you wish.
All Hail the great @nerfstate ... "you da man!!" I have added the Beau Bartlett "upset" and JB's voice-crack to our main playlist in keeping with the titled theme of "JB's Greatest calls"...

I’ll get cracking on this year’s finals as soon as I can—Unusually busy week ahead for me, so it may take me a few days.
OK gang, Here's a playlist to watch in the coming days. Video #1 is uploading now--so you may have to wait a bit before it appears.
@ItalianLion may want to update your own playlists, etc (email me if you want a different way transfer them over).
Also entertaining other non-final match requests from NCAAs, FWIW.

Nerf... you're the best!!! Already added this first video to the overall playlist for folks... and will add the others as they become available.
OK, imagine me saying this next part through gritted teeth, but the new lineup of the Funtastic Five (😬) is now in the can. @ItalianLion
Let me know fellahs if there are any other matches you'd like to see sync'd up from NCAAs soon. Fine if not. Just don't ask about Max's first round matchup--I'm not sure if Jeff knows if that match has happened yet or not.

@nerfstate ... you're work is an incredible value to this Board and to the enjoyment of PSU & JB fans... thank you for letting me pull your hard work into the one playlist for "posterity" !!
DGK now in the list with "The Clincher" in two banged up warriors going to battle. @ItalianLion
The gift that keeps on giving! I just spent the worst week of my life, sick as a dog with COVID. I feel blessed to have gotten through with only lingering symptoms and a hit to my lungs and stamina. I rewatched many of these videos when I didn’t have energy to read a book or even watch tv. Thanks again to everyone who puts the time making these!
Has anyone been able to find video of Zain’s huge semi pin of Sorenson at Nationals? It was a major momentum changer if I remember correctly
Awesome! @nerfstate
@psudotedu - you rule
Sparks with the kiss of death - “Sorenson is closing the gap”

Sorenson did do an excellent job, in that match, of closing the gap between his face and his right foot.😏
Gonna miss this guy . . . Any word if he's going to the Open? Was really hoping to see him in freestyle action at least a little.
I hope you all are liking these videos and subscribing to the guy. Support the effort.
Nick really threads the needle to keep Grant's leg safe on that pin. I guess that is there anytime someone grabs an ankle from that position without passing under?

Nick Lee was my favorite over his time at Penn State. Loved watching his progression from Freshman to Senior. He had so many varied attacks that he could score from anywhere on anyone. Then guys trying to go upper body with him he'd make them pay for it.
Was also underrated and sometimes an underdog type and always showed up and proved people wrong.
Never can get enough of the fat Buckeye Leprechaun in green going from fist bumping to looking for his seat in 5 seconds.
The reverse angle in some of the clips catches Greg Martin looking on in gap-toothed despair
Love this thread - thanks for the effort. Many days bored at work spent grabbing videos for a 10 minute break.
That said, it isn't Ironed yelling "Oh my god!"... he had a color commentary wingman that day. I think (purely from memory) it was Clay Steadman but not positive.
