Random note: LOVE Rock Harrison! So damn fun!

 

[AgSurfer]

There are a handful of guys who do really good commentary for wrestling, so I don’t want to say Rock is the best, but I will say that he’s one of the best!

I'm partial to Shane Sparks. Others can rival his knowledge, but NO ONE can match his enthusiasm. He took a jab at the TV crew for leaving after the quarters and you just love to see it!

 

[mcpat]

Curious how others are going to watch. ESPN split screen, ESPN+ Matcast or ESPN+ pick your mat?

 

[nitanee123]

What’s the most points scored by a team?

Pick mat for All Penn state for me. Matcast on 2nd device.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Does anyone else here the constant drone of a chatterbox chick in the background? I might have to skip the Ironhead PBP if they don't shut her the hell up.

 

[dsites52]

We wont break that tonight. I think its like 153. strike that. 170. I almost forgot wrestling existed before 2011...

 

[LDandy]

Gut check time. LFG!

 

[PSUer1989]

Pick Mats for me as well. I put the computer away and am just focusing on the boys in blue tonight!

Robles is actually really good IMO as well.

Been digging the matcast!

 

[zzs006]

You have got to be kidding me!! Spencer to his back again!!!

 

[LDandy]

Make him work Ramos. Get him to the third somehow.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Wow, Ramos up 4-1

 

[RB-Old]

Total bs to hit Ramos for stalling

 

[zzs006]

Spencer with only 1 point in the first! Spencer takes top

 

[NittanyChris]

Lee gets a ridiculous stall call

 

[dsites52]

I don't wanna hear ANY bad guys from the midwest talk about refs. How did Ramos get dinged for stalling while Spencer was sprawling????

 

[LDandy]

Why are you going under Spencer?

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Why the heck do people take down against Lee?

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Ramos chooses bottom. Moron!

 

[goethe14]

WTF did Ramos go down

 

[RB-Old]

On the screen it said Lee had choice.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Why'd he choose down what kind of coaching is that.

 

[dsites52]

Why are you going under Spencer?

No idea. haha. I guess if you think you can get out.

 

[BoHunter0210]

Hammer on top and you go under him with a lead…

 

[McScoreley]

I think Lee chose top

 

[zzs006]

Let’s go Ramos!! Big 3rd period

 

[zzs006]

Spencer chose top guys. Ramos didn’t go under him

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Why'd he choose down what kind of coaching is that.

Woops.
