Penn State - Indiana '26 Match Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

I've indicated in recent Match Threads that my availability and schedule was a bit of a mess due to the pending birth of a grandchild. I've spent the past week out-of-town, watching my granddaughter, while her parents were in the hospital dealing with the mom's labor. On Wednesday, due to things not moving past a certain point, the doctors highly recommended a C-section. So on Wednesday, my wife and I became the proud grandparents of our 1st grandson! Mom, dad, and new grandson are coming home tomorrow afternoon, and we'll be departing about that time to return home. Nothing about this past week has gone to schedule, so I'm setting this thread up the night before, to make sure that it gets posted before Friday night's dual.

Please use the thread for all pre-match, in-match, and post-match discussion for the 2026 PSU - Indiana dual.

January 23, 7:00 pm EST

Where:
Rec Hall, State College, PA

TV:
there is no TV for this match

Video Streaming:
Subscribers of the BTN+ can watch a stream of the TV coverage on their computer, or on their phone via the Fox Sports App

Once there, scroll down, find Wrestling: Indiana, and press the arrow in the button to the left of that text.

PBP:
I'm pretty sure I'll be out for PBP, due to the uncertainty of my schedule. I didn't check with @SlipperyPete or @GregPickel in advance, but I hope one or both of them will be available for PBP. That said, we always encourage others to participate, and post thoughts about things that happen in the dual. And as always, a reminder that if you are doing PBP, please post the score of the match, as well as the team score of the dual, at the end of each match.

Such happy news is always great to hear. Do you get a demerit for posting on a wrestling thread? Kidding.. Deep Congratulations. Enjoy the ride.

That settles it, Marcus has to bump up. There can be only one blaze...

Aside from this one:

If you don't have kids...sorry

Edit: After wondering who uses Blaze as a first name I looked.. Think it's Blaine?
