My Friday isn't all that busy ... I just want to set this up now so that it's not on my mind later today. I'm tired of trying to predict how the matches will go (reminder to enter you KYPSW selections), and wish the dual was starting in the next hour. :ROFLMAO:

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

When:
Jan. 31, 7:00 pm EST

Where:
Bryce Jordan Center, State College, PA

TV:
BTN

Video Streaming:
Those that are subscribers of the BTN can stream the video via the Fox Sports App

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 6:40 pm EST, with the actual dual taking place at 7:00 pm EST. GoPSUsports.com changed their web site, and I've yet to figure out how to get the URLs in advance for the audio stream. Go to:

gopsusports.com






Lion Vision


gopsusports.com





gopsusports.com

Once there, click on the button to the left of Wrestling: Iowa

PBP:
I should be good for PBP. Once again, I'm reffing a tournament all day on Saturday, so I may not be able to stick around for too much of the post-match interviews, stats, etc. I hope @GregPickel will also be adding coverage (don't know if he'll be in the BJC or watching from home). And I always encourage others to participate in the coverage.

Looking around at some Iowa forums there are plenty of Iowa fans who believe their guys are going to shock the world tonight. Many have convinced themselves that whoever they send out will shock the world by beating Carter.

Any word on if Iowa is gonna let Arnold wrestle Carter tonight?

I really hope they do. If they don't, what message does that send to Arnold and their team?

I have seen plenty that have reserved themselves to a loss and just hoping it isn’t too lopsided.

Just wondering.... Has Iowa ever made a non-conference return trip to Penn State to square things up for the Dec. 21, 2013 dual in Iowa City?? I'm guessing not.

Not that I am aware of. The Brands are super insecure.

As we get closer to the match I am seeing the same Iowa fan outlook that comes out every year before the dual and in March. They get real confidant and convince themselves their team can shock everyone as if they do it all the time.

Also Gabe is not wrestling.

At the match. Teemer warmed up for a long period of time with an Iowa coach.

Per Byers, Arnold is on the trip, and would have made weight, but Iowa did not have him weigh in.

Apparently Pickel did not make weight. We are sitting right in front of the press section and right behind Sparks.

Band is playing and a Solid atmosphere in here tonight. Cheerleaders etc.

I’m not trying to be rude, and also this is not serious, but unless he’s injured, Gabe Arnold shouldn’t be allowed to compete anymore after this embarrassing decision.

It was Brands decision, I’m sure. But, it sends the wrong message to Arnold, his team, and the rest of the wrestling community. It sends a message of insecurity.

They’re protecting his seed for ncaas. I hate it too, but teams do it
