2018 B1G Championship Session 3 Thread

Love the Brands passion but you have got to be able to accept responses like that when someone gets the better of you. I'm sure Brands took it in stride and is ok with it. Just glad we have the coaches we do

Keener and Thorton up right after Nevills on Mat #3. Big match there. Keener has to win to get an automatic qualification to NCAAs.

We have all seen the Brands antics, I am sure the wrestlers have experienced and are letting them have it. Not saying I agree with it, but their "passion" is probably noticeable from the wrestlers standpoint

You have to wonder what they say during the match to get reactions like we have seen from Lewis and Massa. Also, I noticed in the Lee-Turk match that right after the announcer noted one of Brands came over near the end, Turk went into complete Debt Bravo mode. From an entertainment standpoint I like the Brands, but I sense that the other coaches and competitors don't care for their antics.
 
Re: Lewis/Marinelli, Rutgers simply does not know how to win with grace and it starts at the leadership level. Let your performance speak for you, taunting opponents only makes you look like an ass.

Uh, you could say the same about Iowa. Plenty of poor sportsmanship from the Hawkeyes over the years. Evans and Gilman come to mind immediately.
 
Richie Lewis beats Marinelli but then trash talks after the match....classless. Rutgers gets a pt deduction for unsportmanlike

Seems that Lewis would be most comfortable in a cage. An octagon one, that is.
 
Carson Kuhn wrestling for 11th place, i thought I heard that was as an alternate in case a person can’t go. If there are alternates why wasnt someone inserted in Suriano’s place last year, or was someone? If not was it becasue it was after weigh ins or travel to NCAA’s?
 
First period
Keener shucks Thornton, then E1. Keener up 2-1.
Keener slide by, now up 4-1, :29 left.
Caution on start by Thornton.
Keener manages to ride out, 4-1 headed into second, Keener defers.

Second period
Thornton chooses bottom. Keener near a minute riding time.
Keener with a left boot in, nothing from Thornton. 1:36 RT.
Thornton finally gets away 1:46 RT, a minute left in period.
Keener tries to go upper body, both guys with whizzers, but Keener slips it and gets the TD, 6-2, and rides out.

Third period
Keener chooses neutral.
Riding time locked at 2:07, minute and a half remaining.
Thornton with a leg but Keener with a nice counter, makes it 8-2.
E1 makes it 8-3.
Keener hits a double without much resistance, now up 10-3, :24 remaining, needs to ride out for major.
Keener slips down to the leg, gets hit with a stall with less than :06 remaining.
Keener holds on, gets the major 11-3, and is going to Cleveland.

Perhaps or friends over at HR have found someone they dislike more than Cael now.
 
Big win for Nevills, he’s set himself and the team up well. An excellent five/six weeks or so of response before NCAA’s, great job there
 
Great! Keener wins with a major and is headed to Cleveland.
 
Shameless. I love it.

Hey I'm serious. I can see it now, Jason runs out from the stands in jeans and a t-shirt with food and drink in hand. Sets his lunch down at the scorers table, checks in, runs out to get his hand raised, picks up his meal and heads back to the stands. If PSU were to win by less then 3, it would go down as one of the greats moments in college wrestling history.

Jason goes out, gets his hand raised, Casey tosses him a hoagie, and Jason eats it on the mat.
