PSU - Nebraska '26 Match Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

I've been looking forward to this match all season. Alas, my aunt passed away earlier this week, and her viewing and funeral are scheduled for Friday evening (not sure that I've ever attended such events on a Friday evening). So, I'm out for PBP, and am setting this thread up the night before so that everyone has the details.

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

When:
January 30, 8:00 pm EST

Where:
Bryce Jordan Center, State College, PA

TV:
the match will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network

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

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 7:40 pm EST, with the actual dual taking place at 8:00 pm EST. You can access the audio stream at:

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

PBP:
As mentioned above, I'm out for PBP. @GregPickel will be at the BJC covering the dual, and @SlipperyPete has indicated that he plans to do PBP. As such, I think we'll have the PBP covered. 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.

Sorry to hear about your aunt, Tom! I’ve been to many evening viewings, prior to a next morning funeral, but I have never even heard of an evening funeral… and one of my good friends was a funeral director!

 

[PSU Mike]

My condolences, Tom. We got this.

Tom

I’ll be there with my son and grandson so I won’t need to follow you as usual! Part of our bucket list weekend with Hockey Valley on Saturday.

Leaving at Friday noon, return after hockey player grandson skates on Sunday!

Go Lions!!!

@GregPickel (and anyone else):

Saturday (1/31) morning, please check to see if any PSUers enter the Edinboro Open. If so, please start a thread for it.

I'm reffing a tournament all day Saturday, so I won't be able to check on this, or start a thread/post scores (if necessary).

So sorry for your loss, and prayers for your peace. It is a blessing that you can be there for her remembrance and funeral in a world where families are so widely distributed.

Shoutout to Slippery Pete!

Yes. And Armageddon. Big Lebowski. Constantine. John Wick. And a lot more.

I love this sentiment. Very well put. I want to second this @Tom McAndrew

Anytime I get a piece of medical equipment that has a random issue I end up quoting him from armageddon. " American parts, Russian parts. All made in Taiwan!" Smack item with something and yell " this is how we fix something in the Russian space agency!" His Russian accent was horribly awesome.

 

[Scam likely]

Is this Colin from "what we do in the shadows.

For the record he says “ components. “

Absolutely great character. There's at least one in every office. Also called "Joy Vampires".

Ahh darn....Sounds better in a fake Russian accent too. Lol

Ohio State Styles #4 at 149 goes down. 7-4 in SV to #15 Zargo of sconsin

 

[LB99]

On a side note. I saw something that had projected lineups for Minny vs Iowa. At 184, it showed Gabe Arnold vs Max. Is Brands holding Ferrari out? ? Are they going to blame the foot “injury”?

Gotta milk it for a few matches....straight out of the Desanto cradleitis recovery plan.

Ohio State has some questionable conditioning.

Yes, Tom. Condolences. It sounds as though you’ve had a week of highs (grandchild) and lows (loss of relative).

He was so gassed at the end, he could barely make it back to center and basically fell down in SV.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Thinking the same after watching 157.

Yeah and Stiles was dead in the 2nd. In the 3rd I think he was debating on whether to call for a concussion check or not he needed a breather so bad. Lol

 

[El_Jefe]

@Tom McAndrew My condolences.

Hopefully reffing tomorrow will be a good distraction for you.

 

[GregPickel]

All starters in for both tonight per Track.

 

[hohmadw1978]

At the match. Seats starting to fill in.

Took a while to get into BJC parking lot. So much easier with the parking garages for Rec Hall matches.

Ohio State has some questionable conditioning.

Tan Tom trained the Buckeyes to peak for the National Championship. He just got confused and they peaked for the National Duals...

 

[GregPickel]

Tonight's dual will start at 125 pounds.
