That’s like Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees in London circa 1967
PSU - Michigan '26 Match thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I just rode my son's scooter around the house so I will settle in with a bit of pep for this one.
It did. I see the Amine family in the third row. Bonus points for first sighting
If I may share my weekly gripe now: Not having lineups entered on Track 30 minutes before a dual starts is simply ridiculous.
Whining over. Carry on!

First 5 weight classes on the mat warming up. No sighting of Davis.
Am I missing him or is he not in the lineup?

Apparently, the big board there is showing Desmond in for Davis? Seeing that on social media.
Yep. Sanderson seeking his 275th head coaching victory tonight.
Surprising to hear Desmond at 141.
It will be interesting to see what weight he is to keep 133 in play moving forward .

Braeden Davis is out with a medical issue, nothing terribly serious, per Jeff Byers.
As we know, he burnt his hand last week.

Pops is 3 rows down and about 10 in from me. I may challenge him to an intermission battle.It did. I see the Amine family in the third row. Bonus points for first sighting
Other travelers for Penn State tonight: Brandon Wentzel, Connor Pierce, Joe Sealey, Will Henckel, Asher Cunningham, and Connor Mirasola.
UM handed out “take down” signs to be held up when UM gets a takedown.
Honest question- will the signs get held up more than 5 times tonight?

Wow. That last TD in 1st period was elite
Did ll just say he elbowed me in the face?
feel like the Luke we’ve seen the past few weeks was the Luke we saw in freestyle and a step above what we saw a few weeks in between
Sotelo was active early, with a couple of decent shots, and Luke just calmly worked and ending up getting a TF.
Luke is getting better and better every single match. 125 is tough, but, I definitely like his chances.
Blaze always has his back to the logo.
No idea how Michigan does it, but considering PSU releases their season schedule the day after the Big10s and the roster a week later than that, getting the lineup available to the public anytime at all before the start of the match is a pretty good effort.
Did JB call Sotelo a show off for graduating from Harvard and entering Michigan Grad school?
I'm hearing an announcer say "obviously" more often than Franklin.
