Completely agree Kerk will be fine, but nothing in that match made me excited to see them meet again.
2021 B1G Tournament
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
not from top which was the point of the e discussion
Joe Lee has to be injured. He lives on guys legs last year. Now everything is upper body which isn’t working
That John Brooks guy who posts here from time to time seems to know a few things about raising great kids. Maybe he and his wife could post a few pointers for the new parents on this forum!
Nelson was bringing it the best he knew how. He was leading 5-4 before the injury time. Curb stomp is what you wanted/expected Brooks to do. In this particular match Brooks gutted out a decision win over an opponent not afraid to scrap with him.
No Curb stomp this time. We can agree to disagree. That's ok!
That was gutsy by Joe. Wake up buddy. The tournament started.
I give Joe credit, I was hard on him after the initial loss and he gutted this out. Granted a 14th seed but its a start. Good win Joe!
Brands did represent himself well, Arron was just able to find the next gear and finish it off. Just like everyone, I hope that ankle isn’t going to be an issue going forward.
10 guys still alive to qualify. Brooks barely beats out Beard for match of the session to me (Yeah, Nick Lee was pretty good too). If Beard avoided that slip, he'd have gotten it. Kerk will learn from that loss, and I agree, won't lose by major again to Parris. The future is still very bright.
Except for declining when Brooks offered to shake hands, and apparently asking to win via injury time.
Edit - And except for scratching his opponent. And, apparently, biting as well.

Robbie had kid from Rutgers
Beau has YaYa from Northwestern
J.Lee has Sparks from Minny
4 have qualified, though I know just qualifying is not their goal, RBY, Nick, CStar, and AB
4 qualify with next win, Howard, Berge, Joe Lee, and Kerk
Edit, Kerk needs win then at least a win in 7/8 to qualify because only 7 AQ spots
Beau needs one win, after he can lose to drop to 7/8 but needs to win that one as only 7 AQ spots
Beard needs two wins due to only 6 AQ spots
All assuming no at large spots

Other than Joe Lee, who looked completely out of sorts, I thought it was a good session. Beard looks like he continues to improve, despite the loss. Brooks was amazingly gutty, props to Brands. Carter, steady eddy and like most of our stars of the past, never seems out of sorts. RBY and Nick looked fantastic as expected.
I am going to say the youngsters seem to go straight on when attempting takedowns. Carter, BB and RH have plenty of quickness but don't seem to use it laterally. As a team, it sure appeared we were content to let guys tie us up and waste time.
We have been spoiled. We have had so many guys in the recent past who were capable of pinning folks in an instant. This is an excellent young PSU team. Maybe this skill set will develop as their confidence grows.

It was a short drive.
