[Reslo]

I'm very excited for the football board experts that 'know how to evaluate wrestlers' to impress us with their vast knowledge in this session's thread as well.

Good thing Clay wasn't on Pornhub at the time.

Byers is always easily found at the PSU Wrestling schedule page:

The official 2023-24 Wrestling schedule for the Penn State Nittany Lions

Maybe my imagination, but did anyone think Levi seemed a little off; more tired than I would expect at end of that match?

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Weird. It’s fixed now. The other link also originally linked to a random work page I was on. Not sure what happened there. I appreciate the heads up.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Maybe my imagination, but did anyone think Levi seemed a little off; more tired than I would expect at end of that match?

Definitely thought his activity level was a tad low. Maybe a slightly tougher cut than normal. Should get sorted out between sessions and hopefully not an issue tomorrow.

RBY in the hole mat 3

Freshman nerves are a real thing also.

 

[mcpat]

I thought it was more that the TDs didn’t come very easy. I thought he had to work pretty hard for every point he got.

Opponent was a bit funky , so that was a factor IMO

 

[mcruny42]

Opponent was quite long

 

[5q]

LETs GO STATE

 

[tullfan68]

Opponent was quite long

don't know how that kid was getting away it looked like a few times there Haines could have slapped on the cradle!

 

[johnstownsteel]

I thought the same. Then thought about the talk about everyone being sick. What can I say...I'm always a pessimist.

Lol. Jeff Byers played for State High in football. He didn't wrestle. I realize this has another meaning that I dont understand. But thought I'd add that.

 

[mcpat]

They’re late again.

 

[Hotshoe]

Let's do this! 2 more horses to do in Ole Virginia, then home to North Carolina to watch! Also, if AF reaches his seed, or near, no worries!

 

[dsites52]

OoOooo new format??

 

[mcpat]

When I was in high school, it was called a “cheap tilt”.

 

[PSUcup1]

Steam hasn’t started yet ??

 

[PSUcup1]

This is ridiculous Espn

 

[LDandy]

I was tied up in meetings all day long that I could not get out of. Barely being able to check my phone was Hell. I already scheduled tomorrow off. Its round two, followed by PSU Basketball, then we do it all again on Friday. All is right with the world.

 

[PSUcup1]

For whatever reason I had to log out and log in (fyi to anyone who may have a streaming issue)

 

[nittinsc]

Spencer Lee brutalized Medley with a 16-0 tech in 2:30

 

[johnstownsteel]

Nice win for Noto

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Noto over Barnett at the end

 

[El-Jefe]

I too was in meetings all day. Still had my 5 screens of wrestling set up. Was still able to move my mouse every 6 minutes to avoid sleep mode. Victory!

 

[mcpat]

Sweet TD by RBY. 2-0 early.

4-2 now. Surprised no stall call on Palmer. RBY stalking him. Palmer backing up and wrestling at the edge.

2nd period rideout. Still 4-2 RBY, 2:36 adv after two.

RBY takes neutral instead of bottom. Hmm. Stalemate after RBY ankle pick resulted in a scramble. 5-2 final.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

I took two half days.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

What even is stalling?

 

[Brian LB-U]

I took two half days.

Me too, but don’t tell my boss.

 

[johnstownsteel]

What even is stalling?

I think he called it at end.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

RBY is so good in neutral I'm not a huge fan of the 2:30 minute ride.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

RBY is so good in neutral I;m not a huge fan of the 2:30 minute ride.

He’s won 2 titles so he’s earned the right but he definitely takes the “least amount of work possible to beat the first couple guys” approach.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Stalling to a max

 

[PSUcup1]

RBY is so good in neutral I'm not a huge fan of the 2:30 minute ride.

It’s odd but it is what it is

 

[raslen007]

I don't get it.

 

[sneedram55]

I'm sure Palmer is satisfied with only losing by 3 to RBY, but why not just wrestle a little bit?
