Penn State - Oklahoma Match Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

I'm setting this up in advance, so that everybody has the details they may need, and also because I'm free right now after a day of travel, but have a day full of events scheduled for Friday.

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

When:
Nov. 14, 6 pm EST

Where:
Bryce Jordan Center, State College, PA

TV:
BTN

Video Streaming:
I believe you can stream it via the FoxSports APP if you are a BTN subscriber.

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 5:40 pm EST, with the actual dual taking place at 6 pm EST. You can access the audio stream at:

Lion Vision

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

PBP:
As I indicated earlier this week, I'm at a conference this weekend, and as such will be out for PBP. I neglected to ask @GregPickel if he'll be available for PBP. Here's hoping @SlipperyPete and/or others from the BWI community will step forward, and provide PBP, thoughts, analysis, etc. during the match. As always, I remind folks that provide PBP to include scores for each dual, as well as the match score.

 

[GregPickel]

Hello, all. I hope to be around to at least chat during the match if nothing else. Fingers crossed that smooth travels to Detroit ahead of PSU-MSU on Friday will allow for it.

 

[GregPickel]

As always, you never know with these things, but here is the lineup Oklahoma lists in its match notes. For those keeping score at home, that is no Beric at 125, neither Gioffre nor Hipolito at 49/57, and no Kellar at 65.

Yikes. Good matchup at 197. Maybe.

 

[Corby2]

Soldano was supposed to wrestle Sinclair last weekend in the finals of a tournament but he didn't wrestle. He was never injured that I saw hopefully he wrestles. 141 if it's wells and 197 will be the best matches. Next beat will be HWT Mora is solid

I don't think YouTube TV has renewed any of the contracts, just as a heads up

 

[Goggles Paisano]

Injuries suck

Especially when it's 3 out of your to 4 highest ranked guys.



All hurt after publishing the original match notes, what rotten luck.

 

[Foreverinbluejeans57]

Not sure what type of gamesmanship there is in sending out your backups to catch beat downs, while the starters watch from the bench. Has to be great for team energy. If this happened every now and then it would be one thing, huge trend when it comes to PSU opponents though.

 

[Goggles Paisano]

I suspect Cael may roll out a few more backups as well. I am still jazzed

 

[The Pitchfork Rebel]

Unfortunately for Oklahoma, Dr. Howie Bluestein just retired. An authority tornadoes and convective storms, his TOTO device was part of the inspiration for the movie Twister. It's too bad he wont be there to rate the coming storm. We know it'll be bad, but whether it's a high end EF4 or the second EF5 of the year will probably require an expert evaluator. The rest of us will just have to settle for being mesmerized and impressed by the damage.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Generally speaking if healthy starters rock and roll. I don’t expect any backups going unless someone is hurting.

 

[tikk]

Saw Nick Lee breaking bread with the enemy, Mark Hall, at Sowers Cafe this morning.

 

[LemonPie]

PSU has nobody to blame but themselves. Want your guys to hit quality opponents, then schedule a meaningful tournament. Pretty simple. Two whole months of pointless wrestling. Incredible.

 

[86PSUPaul]

Anyone need a ticket? My son got held up at work out of town. Free to a good home.

edit, gone

Sooner starters will have the opportunity to tell backups how they would have handled it.

PSU wrestlers hit higher quality opponents everyday at practice compared to any dual meet or tournament they enter. Cael and company got this and know exactly the formula for March. It’s still amazing that Cael has more NCAA team championships than BIg10 team championships. Trust the process

Huh? Penn State results speak for themselves. Sanderson punted in 2015, 2020 was wiped out by Covid and that might've been in Iowa win and then Iowa won in 2021. Other than that Penn State has dominated the landscape so I'm kind of trusting what the coaches doing.
I don't worry about matches now ,I want to see results at the end of the year.

 

[jack66]

If they put that line-up out there, it will be 35-0 before we get to 184.

The process isn’t broken, obviously. I just want to be entertained. Call me an entitled fan, or whatever, but I’m a little cranky that I’m not in Tulsa right now. And I get it. PSU wrestles are year-round athletes. Nobody wrestles more freestyle and you have to take that into account, but can we not have just one major regular season folkstyle event? It’s all preseason mode until conference duals/championships. It drives me crazy.

There is no logical reason a coach would schedule PSU and then sit his starters.

I'm giving Kish the benefit of the doubt.

 

[tikk]

If it's still available, my next door neighbor asked me yesterday if there was one floating around. I think you have my email address?

Didn't Buffalo do this 2 years ago and it kind of pissed off the PSU staff?

But, we need a National Dual tournament "to grow the sport". These coaches suck. Trying to protect seeds 4 months before the real national tournament is ridiculous. I guess we have it all wrong and it is spaghetti that sharpens iron, not iron. F you, Coach Kish.

I attended some National Dual tournaments in the past. You would have been surprised at the attendance (i.e. not great).

 

[jrod65]

FWIW, last weekend results

Kellar - 0-2, mff
Jordan - 0-1, mff
Hipolito - 1-0, mff
Gioffre didn't wrestle

 

[tullfan68]

why do injuries always happen when they wrestle PSU??

 

[Corby2]

Didn't Buffalo do this 2 years ago and it kind of pissed off the PSU staff?

That was what gave us the Todrank and Nolf match in 2019 . Time flies when we get old .

 

[WPIALBrwnPSU]

Saw Nick Lee breaking bread with the enemy, Mark Hall, at Sowers Cafe this morning.

Pictures or it never happened. Awe, hell I forgot who posted that!

 

[Nitlion1986]

I went to a few of the early Virginia Duals that had good attendance. The NWCA event had decent attendance numbers early but declined quickly and never recovered.

 

[J.E.B]

Wonder who wrestled off as Cael indicated they had several.

 

[Scam likely]

What radio station is the match on, when LionVision does not work.

Davis/Nagao and Mirasola/Cochran highly likely (saw Mirasola beat Cochran 8-2 FWIW). Maybe Duke/Kasak?

 

[Potterlion]

Davis/Nagao and Mirasola/Cochran highly likely (saw Mirasola beat Cochran 8-2 FWIW). Maybe Duke/Kasak?

8-2 over Cochran is impressive as he's a really solid wrestler, even up at HWT.
