Officially sick of this Dwayne Wade / Gabriel Union gatorade commercial

 

[NJ Lion]

Rivera is great to watch

I liked his attitude in the post match interview. I’m a fan.

 

[PSUcup1]

RBY needs to work on merkle counter

 

[PSUcup1]

See. Here Lizak needs to get warned

And he was

 

[PSUcup1]

Stalling top

 

[Cletus11]

Lizak looks like a male dog trying to hump your knee.

 

[theXbomber]

See. Here Lizak needs to get warned

And he was

Lizak is barely trying to do anything from on top. So boring.

 

[PSUcup1]

2 minutes of never getting out from behind the hips. Should have been hit 3 times. Hope they address this moving forward

But great season RBY. Future is bright !

 

[dmm53]

RBY was in the match. Wrestled Lizak reasonably well.

 

[Crunched]

Congratulation Roman ! Great year. You did a truly amazing job for a meat grinder of a weight class !

 

[RLSalty]

the pill pusher too strong for RBY, but he did outwrestle his seed, now get lifting with Lee!

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Nice career but I won't miss watching Lizak wrestle.

Another roll, and he'll rideout. With RT, it's a 5-8 decision for Lizak.

The commentators made multiple mistakes during the PBP. Geez, I'd do it for peanuts, and not make the mistakes.

RBY had a great year. I am hoping another year of being at Penn State will help out next year. At times he seemed to be overpowered by guys. Great job RBY!

 

[Hotshoe]

Glad Lizak is gone. That's not wrestling. That's bullshit. He won but that's ridiculous for wrestling. He does nothing but put boots in and rarely goes for a move.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Micic defeats Pletcher for 3rd place, 6-1

 

[McScoreley]

Great fight by RBY. Reversed Lizak and had him gassed in the third. Lizak knew if RBY got out, he'd be in trouble so he made sure he couldn't.

Hell of a true freshman year in that class RBY! So excited for the future.

 

[SRATH]

We win

 

[PSUcup1]

Nick up 4-1

Lee sealing the PSU victory with a pin.

Third pin for the new Nick "pin 'em" Lee.

 

[fen103]

Thank you Mitch Mckee for pinning yourself.

 

[Crunched]

Congratulation Nick Lee !

 

[pish69]

Nick Lee!

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Penn State’s pin chain

 

[sneedram55]

Congrats to RBY and Nick Lee! All Americans. Both are only going to get better.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Okay, I snuck away from the family for a bit to do the PBP on RBY and Lee. Now, I really am departing from the Session 5 thread.

A gentle reminder: Please post scores of matches, not just comments about how someone got beat, got hosed, got whatever.

We Are ...

Team Champions!

... PSU

 

[fen103]

Kyle Shoop putting it on Red.

 

[fen103]

Shoop wins 10-1. Scot Moore is doing great things at Lock Haven.

 

[ccdiver]

Fabulous tournament for Nick Lee. Fifth place and big scorer! Nick accumulated 16 team points, only one less than Mark Hall so far, and Mark has that tough match with Zahid to go.

 

[SRATH]

Glad Lizak is gone. That's not wrestling. That's bullshit. He won but that's ridiculous for wrestling. He does nothing but put boots in and rarely goes for a move.

I had this coach behind me say Liza’s is like a fungus, once he gets on you it s tough to get off. He said it’s not all about takedowns and Lizak was a joy to watch.

Insert vomit emoji

 

[LDandy]

Great tournament for RBY. Becoming an AA as a true freshman in a stacked weight class is a solid effort. Well done by Nick Lee as well. Not the overall result he hoped for, but he rebounded and finished strong. Come back even stronger next year boys.

 

[sneedram55]

Eierman beats Demas 2-0. Zero offense. Lee, I think is better than both, just didn't wrestle smartly against Demas.

 

[LemonPie]

16 points for a 5th place finish. Mark Hall could finish with 17

OUTSTANDING
