2024 NCAA's - Day 1 - Match/discussion thread

[nerfstate]

This is the first NCAAs I remember that I have work. Previously, they always were during my spring break (last week 🙁). I don’t have class tomorrow, but teach until 2:00 today. I haven’t decided whether to have the lighter weights on my computer to glance at watch when I can, or to wait and watch them on delay when I get home

I’d go for the new career option, IMO.

PSWC will still update for you without dropping 35 bones, it will just do so faster if you have a membership.

As an aside, the membership is well worth the 3 bucks a month.

100% what he said, on all counts

Screw it.

Drinking straight through tonight and will be wasted until it starts.

For us this is straight up Christmas Eve.

He's a day drinker an one way ticket back.

It's 5:30 am on the West coast and I'm already at work. I'll check periodically for updates for Session 1, and be home in time for Session 2. We have a 4 day work week, so the rest of the weekend it will be ESPN!

Caliendo last night thinking about facing Mitchell in the quarters.

Looks more like O'Toole to me. ;-)

Starting at 12 Et tomorrow is horseshit. Should start right after I get my kid on school bus. No downtime!

I’m going to be fussing around the house for 3+ hours.

It does have that Christmas morning feel.

 

[PSUer1989]

I am so tempted! But I can just watch starting at 3:00, straight through until the evening session. I wish Bubbaland had a spreadsheet to keep track of mats for NCAA’s like he had for Bigs!

[Creek Side]

The wait is killing me.

 

[doubleboots]

They are coming.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

They are coming.

I wanna hear how Carter looks warming up.

 

[PSUbluTX]

Tim Johnson's seemingly sincere enthusiasm for Penn State in this clip caught me by surprise. Has he pulled a Jammen and switched team loyalties? Or perhaps he's more like @jmadden1998 and secretly switched over to the good guys quite a while ago and is just keeping up appearances with his Hawkeye friends and family to avoid physical harm?

 

[1AA]

Good Morning Gentlemen. It's nice being the boss sometimes.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

2nd round on ESPN tonight, that's a bit surprising seeing a lower round on the flagship station.

This tournament has really become popular.

Any word on how C Star is doing? Is he going to wear some kind of a wrap/brace?

Carter wasn't wearing any wrap/brace in the video clips I have seen of him walking around (e.g., at the athlete presser yesterday, etc). Shane Griffith and Dean Hamiti were both taped up pretty good during their workouts yesterday.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

All wrestlers in the tourney made weight.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

When you see the max score of a team being 300, with 10 wrestlers you gotta admit that 170 is pretty crazy.

Let’s go Penn state
Can’t wait

Hopefully a nice 10-0 first round

I wanna see domination from Kasak, Truax, Davis and Nagao. I'm confident the others will dominate.

Just joined PSWC like I should have done years ago.

It does. Especially if you run down to the tree, Santa kicks you in the nuts, and tells you to wait till noon.

Question on CStar vs Lewis
Why better to face him Friday morning vs Friday night or Saturday

 

[Dogwelder]

That’s like…biblical.

Yeah!

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Shortly after weigh-ins bc he's cutting weight, is the word.

 

[HikeNatParks]

Do they have to make weight each morning?

 

[PAgeologist]

Do they have to make weight each morning?

Yes. But there is a weight allowance for 2nd and 3rd days

 

[Dogwelder]

Looks like the PSWC is requiring you to create a membership in order to see their live brackets and scoring. …

Tessio must be running PSWC. He was always the smart one.

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

Really? Wow

Really shouldn’t everyone on this board be a member anyway? It’s a great club with great people. Quarterly newsletters, special prematch socials, bus trips. And supports the team.

What about posting results and scores in this thread? Is this allowed? Asking for a friend (name rhymes DangerRan) 😁

Remember when Tom used to have separate PBP and discussion threads? That was a good idea. If Tom has a PBP thread on On3, then two tabs/windows can achieve a similar effect.

I haven't seen/heard from Ranger in ages.
I'd day it's expected to post results. Avoid the thread if you don't want spoilers.
Dan's complaint was when results from other duals were posted in a match thread for a PSU dual, if I recall. Or even a football score.

I see what you did there. Nice

 

[Dogwelder]

Throwing this out there now in advance of tomorrow's action. Feel free to use this thread for any and all match discussions and PBP's. …

T minus 55 minutes

 

[HikeNatParks]

A surprisingly good series I watched recently (Anne with an E) had several scenes where Anne would pinch her forearm black-and-blue to make sure something was REALLY happening.
I’m there.
