2024 NCAA Championship Session I Thread

[PSU_Lions_84]

C;mon, Brooks, get the pin!

 

[Locopsu]

That’s 2 or 3 NW wrestlers in first round for Psu

 

[KJB32812]

Bernie looked fantastic.

 

[razpsu]

You guys need to do better for your play by play. I’ll wait for Tom and Greg. lol.

 

[Piketownman]

Man commercials every 3 minutes

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

AAAHHHH! They went to a commercial just as Brooks was executing his third takedown. SIGH!

 

[derks]

ESPN coverage really sucks

 

[Gregm0415]

The amount of commercials on ESPN is absolutely insane. You get maybe half of a period of a match and they go to commercial. It's almost not worth it to air it like this.

Or, you can provide pbp for the rest of us . . .

197: #1 seed Aaron Brooks vs #33 seed Evan Bates (NW) -- I'll use EB

Per 1
EB shoots, and AB with a counter for the TD, 3-0. EB up after a short time and gets the esc, 3-1. AB in on a single and gets the TD, 6-1. AB with a good ride. End. RT @ 1:52 for Brooks

Per 2
AB takes bottom. He works to his feet and he's out in 8 sec, 7-1. Ear-to-ear for a bit. And again. AB in on a doubler the TD, 10-1. He cuts him, 10-2. AB with a single for a TD, 13-2. He cuts him, 13-3. AB in again for a TD, 16-3. End RT @ 2:34 for AB

Per 3
EB takes bottom. He's out in @ 6 sec, 16-4. AB shoots again and gets the TD for a 19-4 TF @ 5:24!!!!

That is why I listen on Lion vision to Byers. He is very objective and easy to listen too.

 

[Locopsu]

Brooks TF and tied for first with Nebraska, with 13 points.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kerk in the hole on Mat 7

 

[razpsu]

Thanks Tom. Way to go ab

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

Some of us work for a living. lol. Closing up the restaurant

Please wipe down table 4 extra well - it was still messy last time we were there.

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

Penn State now tied for 1st with Nebraska. We’ll lead coming out of the first round.

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

Any updates on mat 8 situation? Byers is making it sound very serious.

Nebraska is an excellent team. Very solid wrestlers.

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.

Any updates on mat 8 situation? Byers is making it sound very serious.

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

 

[SRATH]

Beard looks good, solved gas issues, good for him. Didn’t realize he was 4 seed

Rutgers PbP announcer:

Hope the young man is ok. Always scary when taken off on back board.

 

[Martybird]

When I wrestled in high school my parents always feared head and neck injuries.

 

[razpsu]

Glazer must have been sick lol

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.

Need a pin here

Kerk is so darn strong
