I'm setting this up well in advance of the dual, so that everyone knows the plans, has the links, etc.

Please use the thread for all pre-match, in-match, and post-match discussion for the PSU - Clarion dual.

When:
Feb. 19, 1:00 pm EST

Where:
Rec Hall, State College, PA

TV:
None

Video Streaming:
For subscribers, you can stream it via B1G+

Audio Streaming:
The radio PBP, with Jeff Byers at the mic, will be streamed for free. The pre-match portion of the broadcast will begin at 12:40 pm EST, with the actual dual taking place at 1:00 pm EST. You can access the audio stream at:


PBP:
Unfortunately, I'll be reffing a tournament all day Sunday, so I'm out for PBP. And @GregPickel is on a deferred honeymoon cruise, so he certainly won't be in Rec Hall, and I doubt (and strongly suggest to him) that he won't be available for PBP. Hopefully, several of you will step forward and provide some PBP, or some analysis, or some comments on each match. As always, I remind you to please include the score for the match, and the team score for the dual, in your posts. My thanks in advance to all that provide PBP, and I look forward to reading what you post when I get home Sunday evening.

I wonder how many of our starters will be going today. Seems a lot of teams have been using a lot of backups this weekend.
Yes. The TOTAL focus is on the Big ten tournament. Everyone is hunting PSU. Gotta be 100 percent in ALL areas. This is why they wrestle for PSU. Hopefully preparation is the core to Cael’s interview this week.

The match is not listed on lion vision. Can someone please provide that radio link that was posted last week making sure it’s on ? Thank-you very much for who provides.

Edit: Match just came listed for Jeff Byers. The wrestling announcer in the nation hands down.

Beyers is having audio trouble. Can’t hear anything. Hopefully someone there will tell him. Most times he don’t know.

We walked in today with some guy who didn’t know their way around, next thing we know, they were Roman’s crew. Very cool.

Brooks looks fine, joking and smiling. Clarion’s 184 ie ranked 21, great test for Ball.

The youngsters working the BIG+ broadcast are an example of what’s wrong with most of our media. Full of hyperbole, cliche phrases, and knowing just enough to be incredibly dangerous. It is absolutely embarrassing. Reminded me of the two know-nothings that I think worked a Rutgers (or maybe Maryland) match a few years ago.

Hey get off of my lawn. HaHa

I get it, but these appeared to be PSU students, & if so clearly aren't being paid, so you're gonna get what you get. At least the one kid had clearly wrestled because he knew a number of the moves by name.

Smackintosh was there with a boot on. Dake there with the fam. His kids were more entertaining than some of the matches. Gabe there but didn't walk out with Max.

God I wish Gary would go for it more often. RBY was RBY and will be missed by college wrestling. What a performer. BB looks totally dialed in. SVN really likes to put on a show. Rockin to the music, he entertains. Haines is a complete Tasmanian devil.......becoming Nolf-like in the motion simply never stops. Whoever said Facundo looks like DT is right. Not quite as long and lanky but relying on constant stalking/motion. The guy he wrestled was a real stud. Alex knew he was going to get tossed, yet couldn't back out or it would have been stalling. Lucky to only give up the two. The duck in the same position later was a thing of beauty.

Carter was Carter. Their guy at 197 is from DeSanto's high school and really had two nice doubles late against Dean. It wasn't nearly enough but I was surprised Max allowed the second. Donovan's guy is ranked, tall with a death grip, very Ruth-like. Ok not a completely fair comparison but when some guys get their hands on you, they are not letting go. Tough for DB but better to go out swinging against a ranked guy.

Clarion was at WVU Friday night. It was tied headed to heavyweight and WVU got the pin for the win. WVU would be a good team to bring into SC for Senior Day or just for a regular beating.

The team looks fit and healthy.....ready to begin the push for Nationals. I won't say we will break our team scoring record at Nationals but this is probably our best overall team we have ever taken to the big dance. The youngsters look to be scoring more than they were earlier in the year.

It took so long for the Nittany deck to clear, the line at the Creamery was short. My Body By Berkey winter session is over......have to get in shape. I want to run a marathon when I am 90 so I have 30 years to train.

Beautiful sunshine in State College this afternoon.....cursing it to high heaven as we headed west on 80. 79N was spectacular.
