2019 B1G Championship Session 1 Thread

[Dogwelder]

I love that when Byers is announcing other teams’ matches in session 1, he sounds like a bored golf announcer.

Anyone have a guess as to when the QF will start? Trying to time it right where I can squeeze dinner in after the QFs and before Semis

Only thing keeping score keepers awake during Wilke 1-0 hammering is Iowa fans yelling stalling. Turns it on to blow him out 2-1

 

[PSU Mike]

Hyper-athlete Wilcke beats Krone on 1:08 in RT, 2-1.

 

[Locolion]

This is what happens now that Taylor and Ruth have graduated.

I really miss Retherford. So fun to watch

 

[jrd23psu]

It won't happen at B1Gs but could you imagine if Van Brill draws Jason at nationals?

I would almost feel bad for Van Brill. I mean, I wouldn't but I'd almost.

Is Ethan Smith the projected starter for OSU the next few years?

Is Ethan Smith the projected starter for OSU the next few years?

I think they are pretty high on him as are most people. He seems to have a high upside but needs to get bigger/experience.

 

[Roar More]

Horrors! We are now in 11th place! All hope is lost!

 

[Foreverinbluejeans57]

Do quarters start right up after this around, or is it a round of consis?

 

[jrd23psu]

Daniels?

You know him!

 

[PSU Mike]

You know him!

You rang? I had an uncle named Jack Daniels.

FU##..... I had T-shirts made

 

[PSU Mike]

Lyon tops perennial top 10 Gravina, 3-1. Not a productive 6th year for the Knight.

 

[Afw6006]

Do quarters start right up after this around, or is it a round of consis?

I think I just heard JB say they'll roll right into QFs

 

[PSU Mike]

I hope Brady pulls together some energy. I think Lugo will come out pushing.

 

[mikbard]

Mat assignment for Cassar?

 

[mcruny42]

I just didn't know what the plans were with E. Smith, K. Romero and Kharchla for OSU

 

[McScoreley]

I know we'll be biased but does anyone think a Bye should be awarded with Advancement at least?

I know bonus gets tricky and it ultimately doesn't matter if you have THAT many wrestlers (meaning you have a ton of great wrestlers) with byes but the fact is it's just a missed chance to get points.

You can argue it should be equivalent of medical forfeit (maybe that's excessive)

 

[mcruny42]

Embree down 6-1 (plus RT) to Caffey of MSU early in the 3rd, Rasheed gets winner

 

[FineMaterial]

Horrors! We are now in 11th place! All hope is lost!

We'd better get going or that fearsome Maryland team will beat us. 0/9 so far . Wow.

 

[dmm53]

Cassar in the hole on mat 1

 

[pish69]

Mat assignment for Cassar?

Mat 1 in the hole

Caffey dominated on top

They get the advancement point once they win next match. Only thing you lose is bonus opportunity

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Christensen reverses Bowman late to win.

FRL will still spend 10 minutes on Bowman next podcast

4:00+ in RT for Caffey. Kid has some thighs on him. Don't know if quads save you from the cradle though.

 

[McScoreley]

AH! That makes a lot of sense, you learn something new every day.

Thanks for explaining - it's appreciated.

Watching him and it makes it more amazing that Mason put up a hell of a fight against him (hell against Venz, Parker as well and he didn't get Pinned, Teched by MyMar)

 

[mcruny42]

We get treated to Stoll prior to Cassar. Parris v Hemida on deck Mat 4 should be a good one

 

[jrd23psu]

You rang? I had an uncle named Jack Daniels.

Yeah me too.

 

[LemonPie]

Beard vs. Stoll? Battle of the bellies. Can't wait.

 

[jrd23psu]

Right after this. A matter of fact, there are championsihp 125lb matches in the hole already on Track.

 

[jrd23psu]

Beard vs. Stoll? Battle of the bellies. Can't wait.

First push out wins?

 

[NJ Lion]

Get some caffeine to stay awake.

 

[Foreverinbluejeans57]

Beard (MSU) vs Stoll- this ain’t gonna be great wrestling but it’s gonna be something

 

[LemonPie]

I just can't do 4 matches at a time. The 2-screen feature on Flo is great. And If I ever want to go back and watch a match, I just go to BTNPlus.

 

[tikk10]

Stoll looked to go bow and arrow and I had the urge to run out onto the mat like a crazed parent because Beard's body wasn't going to do that.

 

[jrd23psu]

Sam Stoll trying to use a bow & arrow. More like a tree trunk & another tree trunk.
