This Tom Ryan Love fest is going to make me projectile vomit.
Mark Hall's evaluation of this match:
"Started quick, got him right to his back and ended just the same way, but there, I want to pin him there. I had him two times where I had him pretty deep on his back and I have to get the job done. All in all, I've been wrestling really well, getting to my attacks. Every time I get on a leg I want to finish."
So they really want Cael too, but he's not as willing. For example....as Bo's match ended, Quint and the ESPN crew stood right behind his chair, had the lights on and all for the camera. Cael just patted him on the back, in a friendly way, but also in a get the hell out of my way, wayESPN love fest for Tan Tom and tOSU.
It's not how he does it
Is that Olanowski that keeps saying "Pennsylvania State"? I've about had it with that
Long way to go.
Friday is a rough day for weight cutters. Lets see where we stand after semis tomorrow.
Nevills hasn't taken a shot the entire match and then gets blasted for a takedown in OT2. He escapes, however, and then he rides out. Nevills escapes with the victory. That's big

talk about surviving and advancing and giving everyone a heart attack. sheeeeesh
I wouldn't go that far. There was strategy involved in that one. Nick wasn't going to overcome the leverage advantage in that one. They wanted him to win it on the mat and, eventually, he did
You don’t deserve to win when you do nothing and the opponent scores the only offensive points
Oooofff... another close fall there from Keener. Either way, huge move to give him a 4-point lead going into the 2nd
Cut Nick some slack. He won a tough match against an opponent who matches up well against him. That kid is athletic and short so it is hard to shoot on somebody like that. He clearly was a bit apprehensive about being countered. That said he rode that guy for 30 seconds when he had to do it or he'd lose. That's gutty in my book.
