2018 NCAAs -- Session 6 Thread

[dsites52]

Guys, calm down. We just watched possibly the best ever in a penn state singlet lace em up the last time. Let’s show proper reverence. Plus, cmon, our boys got this.

 

[Goose777]

Thank you Zain for an amazing 4 years of excitement in your wrestling success, but mostly by exemplifying "Success with Honor". You are a class act young man and it was my privilege cheering for you.

 

[manmythlegend1]

I'm gonna miss watching Zain...I thank him for all the awesome wrestling he has done for PSU, what a joy to watch

 

[psualt]

Christ, that kid sat on the bottom the whole time. That and the smacking is ridiculous. This was a bad year watching Zain get smacked like that. No one wants to get up, or open up because he destroys them. That said, I haven't seen anyone sit on bottom like that and not get a stall call.

Didn’t you watch Sorensen?

 

[walterg]

Uninspired.

It’s difficult to score when the opponent is not interested in wrestling

 

[RVARZR]

Some posts about Zain seeming less Zain-like lately. I wonder if he was worried about protecting his win streak and was playing it safe. Either way it obviously worked out for him.

 

[pish69]

Congrats Zain! What a career! Gonna miss you!

Didn’t you watch Sorensen?

He wasn't that bad I didn't think.

 

[FineMaterial]

OSU fans...classic idiots. As if Zain ever stalled.

Catch up. Per HR he uses an illegal leg move to stall all the time.

 

[dsites52]

Come get some hidlay.

 

[Hotshoe]

And why does that bother you?? It doesn't seem to bother this 3-time champ, is it??

What? I'm talking about guys doing it to Zain. The slapping on him is ridiculous.

149: Ronnie Perry keeps it tight with Zain Retherford, but with his 94th straight win, 5-2, Retherford is the school's 2nd 3-timer

6-2

 

[TheGLOV]

Yes, he won but he did not go after it. Not his best and not what we are use to seeing out of him.

So even if he DID play it safe, he WON.

Let's give the 3x Champ credit for playing it smart.

If he makes a mistake, it's a BIG upset.

 

[TheGLOV]

What? I'm talking about guys doing it to Zain. The slapping on him is ridiculous.

My apologies sir.

 

[backdrft76]

I love David Taylor. Great ambassador to PSU and the sport. Very well spoken.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

I had to mute the television. Too many questions and no focus on the match. Bad.

 

[PSUcup1]

Great job jason !!!

 

[Tim Owen/BWI staff]

157: Jason Nolf is a two-timer and Penn State goes 2 for 2 so far. Nolf beats Hidlay of NC State 6-2 with 1:31 RT

 

[backdrft76]

Very very impressive, Mr Nolf.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nolf with a 6-2 victory, and never really in doubt. He's a 2X NCAA Champion

PSU takes the lead in the team race, for now

 

[LemonPie]

So ****ing impressive. Just became my favorite wrestler ever.

 

[fen103]

 

[dunkej01]

friends of Ohio State 0-2.

you are the company you keep

 

[dsites52]

How’s Nolf look?

 

[razpsu]

Big win by Nolf. Amazing he had the stamina all week !!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

And now, Joseph vs. IMar go at it again

 

[PSUbluTX]

Nolf looked so good this tourney that it’s easy to forget how astonishing it is that he’s even at the NCAAs. It was a mere 7 Sundays ago that he suffered a potential “season ending” injury. Just wow.

 

[mn78psu83]

So ****ing impressive. Just became my favorite wrestler ever.

To come back in 7 weeks from what by all accounts was a pretty serious knee injury and win an NCAA title is just not normal. I'm with you.

Do you have a separate phone for Twitter?!?! Damn you are quick!

 

[pish69]

What a gutsy son of a bitch Jason Nolf is!!

Congrats! Let’s keep it going!

That was me!!

 

[Hotshoe]

My apologies sir.

No problem. Immediately you see a huge difference watching Nolf. No direct face smacks at all, just wrestling. I'm amazed Zain doesn't have califlower nose. Lol

 

[NittanyChris]

What and unbelievable accomplishment by Jason! To come back from that injury is simply astounding. What an unbelievable athlete!

WE ARE!!!

 

[dunkej01]

Cant agree more!

 

[RVARZR]

Do you have a separate phone for Twitter?!?! Damn you are quick!

Probably had it typed up before the match started.

 

[fen103]

That was me!!

AWESOME!

 

[Law-Deezie]

Man I hope Cenzo can beat IMAR...I have to be honest, I don’t think he does...hope I’m wrong!
