A blitz campaign through which he storms like a trooper?
Hmm. Maybe not the best imagery.
Must be a history buff like me, time for Chickenman to chime in, too.
Thank you, now I need to change my pants
Reenan tore his ACL last December and still qualified for NCAA's. He may not be fully 100% but still better than most at the weight.
Joe Lee, Carter Starocci, and Michael Beard are all RS Freshman and have all looked awesome this tournament. This is a great experience to wrestle seasoned and ranked opponents. They have shown themselves well and are only going to get better. I have been impressed. They can hang with anyone. The future is bright.
Yep, apparently so. I misinterpreted the text I got, and didn't look at the bracket.
Shoop was up 2-0 against Gfeller but got reversed and plowed to his back...for the fall
Ref let Gfeller put Shoop's knee in a bad spot during the turn. Was focused on whether Shoop was in criteria and didn't see his leg getting ripped off, which was why he was going to his back in the first place.
"Kaden Gfeller does not appear to be the most stable of human beings."

Starocci with the blitzkrieg victory over Richards (VMI), who looked bewildered and beleaguered at every turn. I think Richards may have attempted one shot. He was on his heels the whole match. Impressive performance by Carter!
Man Starocci looks good. Great motor and a hammer on top.
CS is a hammer on top. Some guys are better on top than others. I can't image how good he will be as a senior and 4 more years in the room.

Carter has a little Marky and, dare I say it, a little Nolf in him.
good win by Carter. Richards was one of those kids with adult strength in HS and kicked a lot of butt. Pyles, who claims he knows all about wrestling in Virginia, tells his co-host that Richards, from Matoaca HS is 'somewhere near the beach'. Matoaca, is 10 - 15 miles south of Richmond (not near the beach - a term used for the Va Beach & Norfolk area. They won the Va state championship a few times as well. Good program.
Carter has already exceeded my expectations this year. He's dominating very experienced wrestlers just a few months out of high school.
Starroci was up 8 -2, with 5 seconds to go in the third (thus the match) he went for another takedown. I love when these guys wrestle for the entire 7 minutes. It breaks opponents.
Pyles lives in the Shenandoah Valley (Winchester), so south of Richmond probably seems like "somewhere near the beach" to him!
Carter picked up 3 takedowns dragging a toe to stay in. Cat like quickness and once on top look out!
I like the Pitt uniforms with the H2P and the image of the Cathedral of Learning on the back. I assume those are new -- because the alternative is that I haven't been paying attention.
Maybe you haven’t seen them because of how much time Pitt guys spend on their backs?
Beard with a sweet reversal and a tilt. 6-2 lead after 1 with 51 seconds of riding time. Great start!
Beard put himself on his back in a scramble to get a reversal unfortunately. Fought pretty damn hard to not get pinned.
Tired himself out. This is a match he should have won.

You of course meant the "Tower of Babble."
Didn't see it, but sometimes an escape is just as good as a reversal. Something that Verk needs to learn.
I know where he is from - outside of Staunton. Doesn't live there any longer. Had a conversation with the HS coach a couple of years back. Interesting conversation.
Solid effort by Beard...was gassed the last two minutes due to fighting for over a minute to get off his back and avoid being pinned.
