Penn State-Michigan will start at 157 pounds tonight. Track Wrestling lists
Fidel Mayora vs. David Evans at 149, which would mean no Austin Gomez and no Tyler Kasak.

I believe PSU traveled with 15. You wonder if Evans was slated to go against Michigan regardless of who they had in the spot. It could be that PSU is keeping Kasak's redshirt option available a bit longer, it could be that they didn't want to put Kasak in against Gomez so early in his career (not a bad idea), it could be that Evans was slated to wrestle both matches this weekend regardless, or could be that Evans was slated for Mich and Kasak was slated for MSU. We'll probably never know the staff's thinking behind their plan.

No, but I'm sure we'll get some intel from Byers here in about 10-15 minutes.

Ah yes, the issues with LionVision have returned. smh

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Anybody have a link for one of the alternatives to get Byers?

A tradition unlike any other.

I've had no luck with any of them yet.

@Tom McAndrew This is a winner: https://www.audacy.com/stations/bigfootcountrylegends#

 

[GregPickel]

David Evans is officially in for Kasak, who did travel. Barraclough in for Starrocci, who also traveled. Lucas Cochran, Donovan Ball, and Gary Streen all traveled as the Lions could take 15 to this Big Ten road match. And, Michigan's Austin Gomez is indeed in Mexico, where the wrestle-offs are ongoing for the Olympic team there.

that did the trick. Thanks!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Angel Rivera is the head official. Byers usually finds fault with a lot of his calls. LOL

 

[GregPickel]

Angel Rivera is tonight's referee. Donovan Ball represented the Lions at the captains meeting, per Byers.

Was just thinking the same thing as he was saying it ha.

 

[GregPickel]

Byers says Starocci and Kasak are both "a little under the weather," FYI.

 

[gimb14]

This just in...Lewan doesn't shoot.

 

[Adler01]

Lewan is stalling big time. Our fans should be yelling green stalling.

 

[Adler01]

This just in...Lewan doesn't shoot.

Gotta yell green stalling

 

[gimb14]

Way to be a disgrace to wrestling Lewan. Amine to show the exact same

Per 2
Haines takes bottom. He's up, returned, back up, and out in 7 sec, 1-0. Haines with a head outside single, nothing. 1 min left. Lewan has yet to take a shot in the match. haines reaches, nothing. End

Per 3
WL takes bottom. LW sits out, Haines stays with him. Back under, then sits out again. WL to his feet, and gets away, 1-1. 1:40 left. haines reaches, nothing. WL sort of reaches, nothing. Haines with undercooks to a leg, nothing. Haines reaches, nothing. They are on the edge. Haines reaches and a stall gallon WL, 2-1. WL goes for a throw, slips, but Haines can't get the TD before the buzzer. End. 2-1 DEC for Haines

3-0, PSU

Yepper. Those 2 are very defensive. Rivera must call the stalling. Gonna be interesting

 

[GregPickel]

Tough way to lose, but surprised Lewan didn't get hit with a stall sooner.

 

[razpsu]

Can Lewan graduate already. I’m tired of that Iowa brands stall type of wrestling the whole match until it is time to shoot with 30 seconds left. Lewan has taken it to another level. Haines has to know he is going to do this next time and figure out how to get points ahead of time. Good job by ref not putting up with Lewan stalling nonsense.

 

[Adler01]

MM is a freaking animal. Mean and nasty. He’s gotta great shot to win the National Championship. Love his style. Huge motor.

 

[razpsu]

Amine is just embarrassing to watch. What is he thinking.

 

[SRATH]

KILLER
