That is why I listen on Lion vision to Byers. He is very objective and easy to listen too.
Brooks TF and tied for first with Nebraska, with 13 points.
Please wipe down table 4 extra well - it was still messy last time we were there.
Penn State now tied for 1st with Nebraska. We’ll lead coming out of the first round.
objective -- I'm not so sure about that
easy to listen to -- for sure
I like Jeff, and chat with him any time I attend a PSU match. He's a good PBP announcer, and certainly makes the matches entertaining. His comments about refs, or things that should be called, are, as I've said in the past, frequently inaccurate, so that's why I don't give him a check mark on being objective. To a large extent, I think that if you've never been a wrestling ref, it's hard to analyze what should or should not be called.
I agree Tom. I should have said that he will admit when a PSU wrestler does not wrestle well. He did that today with the Nagao match.
I have not wrestled since 9th grade in 1970 so I appreciate your expertise on call the PBP and refereeing since you are a ref for Wrestling matches.
Looked to me like Bullock's head right up into the bottom of Soldato's jaw then drove him pretty hard onto the mat. So I'd guess concussion or nerve stinger in neck? Seemed to be moving extremities? but don't want to speculate.
edit: took him off in stretcher, but imagine that's protocol for anything even close to questioning head/neck/back

Thanks for the info, 1994. Prayers and hope all goes well!
Hope the young man is ok. Always scary when taken off on back board.
When I wrestled in high school my parents always feared head and neck injuries.
What time is the 2nd round? My daughter is coming for dinner. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s going to fall in love with college wrestling tonight.
Plenty of people who have never reffed are capable of analyzing what should or should not be called. Everyone from former wrestlers to coaches and even pbp announcers. Heck, there are plenty of refs that are terrible at it.
