2021 B1G Tournament

Thank you! Same to the Hawks! This is how it should be. Mutual respect between two great programs!Hell of a battle today! You all suffered a couple early setbacks but really stepped it up in the second session. For all intents and purposes, it's still anyone's for the taking. By anyone of course I mean PSU and Iowa. You have a chance to do well in the wrestlebacks and your finalists are all looking very good. Kem/Starocci and Lee/Eierman could decide it all in the end. I don't think the RBY or Brooks matches are in question unless poor Brooks has to pull out because of that ankle. Hated seeing that, but thankfully it appeared to be a minor injury and nothing that will keep him out of St. Louis. BTW, loved Lee's reaction when he beat Rivera and am glad he won the match as Rivera seems to be (at least from an outsider's perspective) a real trash talker.
Good luck tomorrow!
I REALLY wanna see Kerk/Cass but it would be much better title wise if Cass doesnt make it that far.
3:25 AM??? You up late going thru your couch cushions gathering up $50?? 🤑🤓🤪Hell of a battle today! You all suffered a couple early setbacks but really stepped it up in the second session.

Dont forget RoHo made 3 straight Cadet World teams, and prolly woulda made the Jr team last year if not for C19.
He’s no stranger to lockin em up.
Fair, but it’s highly unlikely both wrestlers don’t make it to the third place match.
Man do the Rutgres fans hate him. All the more fun to see him succeed
Good effort and energy from everyone today. Results will take care of themselves. The discussions on the team from the coaches and the team leaders are still about having fun, embracing the moment, and letting it all on the mat. The biggest and most important impact right now is NCAA seeding. Guys can help or hurt their landing in the NCAA brackets. Time to have a little FUN today.

Brady will have more success against the straight on ,tie up wrestler. I think a quicker side to side guy will give him trouble.
I don't know how the 149 weight was playing out in the beginning of season in the PSU room, but I think Beau would have benefited immensely if he would of had more matches at 149
Howard was trying to hit home runs when he started, he has started to take what's there. His next match will be a good barameter on where he stands.
Joe Lee is the ultimate "Live by the sword,die by the sword", guy. Hopefully he figures out the the chess match attitude.
I don't think anyone is going to want Beard at Nationals. He seems to have figured out his stamina issue.

It also hurts that Van Brill went on to beat Parriott as well and Rooks beat Thomas, so the loser of that 7th place match will need one and is pretty much a lock, so you're already down to 4 left. Casey Cobb defaulted out of EIWA's. He's been a top 20 guy all year, so he's probably in before Bartlett too. Same for Alirez. Down to 2. Then you have guys like Vath, Crooks, and Ed Scott who would probably be in ahead of Beau as well just based on their body of work. Degen might also need one. He got upset 1st round at Big 12's. He needs one more win to qualify, but he lost to his opponent during the year. But even if he wins, Lara probably also has a better case than Beau because of his win over Degen. Really tough break. In a normal year, I think we all believe he could qualify.
Wow, what a difference hearing the sounds from the corners. I am impressed with how AD handled himself. It looked like Byrd was tying to bait him a little. The Brands and Sean Lee have appeared to improve AD's mentality. Thank you for posting these.
I noticed that. Is there some backstory why this is the case?
Robbie is one of those guys that does have that cocky smirk and I noticed he was smiling when he had the RU kid locked up on his back.
I guess he will fall into the “if he’s on you’re team, you love him but opponents will see him as the heel”
Beard vs Caffey should be a great match. Hopefully Beard can get over the hump against one of the top guys.
Howard very openly rejected Rutgers -- very early in the process, every time the topic came up, and more than a few times it didn't come up.
Said what is common knowledge -- that Rutgers isn't good enough.
Did I mention he wasn't shy about it?
It was never personal for him, but he's brash, and every time he said something, it became more and more personal for them.
This is one of the mildest things he said -- which is pretty mild, but one can see why Rutgers fans would go bonkers about it. LINK
Being a New Jersey kid, I’m sure Rutgers has a soft spot in your heart, so was it difficult to make a decision to go to Penn State over Rutgers at all?
RH: No. A lot of people, because you live in New Jersey, they think Rutgers is not the be-all end-all, but they want to see the best kids go to Rutgers. People get upset. People are crazy about the sport and, in New Jersey, they love Rutgers. Obviously, people have been pushing me to go there, but it’s just not the place where I felt I could accomplish my goals. My goal is to be a four-time national champion, and the only person that has ever done that is Cael Sanderson. So, if anyone that is going to know how to do it again, it’s Coach Cael.

Track is showing the 9th place bouts as taking place at the start of Session III
I think the match that showed me what an idiot Manning is was the JB vs DT freestyle match back when Dave was at 74 kg. Dave locked up a cradle on JB and almost pinned him. JB came back and won with a couple of his patented blast doubles and Manning was jumping around like a monkey pointing his finger at Cael and Casey. That really rubbed me the wrong way and made me wonder what PSU's coaches think about him with all the crap spewing from his mouth when we wrestle a Nebraska guy.
BTN only posted the semis right? It has the matches in the description. Also, all the #1 seeds are on Mat “1” (which I think was really Mat 2 of 4, and the Mat “2” youtube video was really Mat 3)
I don't know wrestling moves like I should but it didn't seem like Licking was even trying to score. He looked like he was riding with the lead, when a punishing ride might make sense. Nebby is getting better.....good for them.
lol. Wow. Ok I get it now..he doesn’t mince words does he? Different era with him and Carter huh? Compared to the quiet stoic types we’re used to.
Personally, I appreciate being real but just make sure you back it up on the mat if you’re going to put yourself out there. So far both our guys have done that
That is simply an amazing statistic. Here's hoping their underperformance continues at Nationals!
There could be a reasonable chance that Beau redshirts next year and Van Ness goes at 49, right?
Maybe he agreed with Carter's assessment that Labriola isn't as athletic as CStar is.
Nothing really disrespectful there, just a young kid answering a loaded question honestly. Despite the pressure to stay home he was always going to go where he felt he could best accomplish his goals. Rutgers Fans are mostly salty because he chose the team they hate the most. Nick Suriano was a POS until he transferred there and became their savior. Same thing goes on in football. They're simply a different breed.
Of course, but we’re gonna need all hands on deck, thats for sure.
I suspect 14 bonus bouts (2 at 7 weight classes) will be wrestled on the three mats first. If true, this means Howard won't be up for 35-50 minutes or so. Is this what others are seeing. The 9th place bouts will likely be inserted after the consy semifinals...just a guess.
@CropDuster507 -- you changed your avatar. Hmm, I figured that if you ever changed it, you would go with Hula Hoop Girl.
I think that's correct. Track indicates the matches are 9th place, but there are multiple ones per weight, which isn't possible.
@rmg78 -- I think @RoarLions1 answer is more accurate than my prior answer.
The total of only four TDs in six Iowa semifinal matches is surprising/interesting. However, relating that isolated nugget of data to Iowa's overall bonus point potential is inaccurate and misleading. For instance, the fact that Iowa had at least five pins in Session 1 is completely ignored.

Byers admits that 9 PSUers are qualified for Nationals. He apologies for the misinformation he was stating about qualifiers last night (in Session II coverage).
Was thinking the exact same thing when I heard about the x-ray. The way Brooks was first holding his ankle, it appeared like a possible high ankle sprain. As we probably all know, a bad sprain can be painful and take a long time to fully heal. Don't think an x-ray provides much info about an ankle sprain, but maybe I'm wrong.
But Brooks sure looked okay after the injury, which is probably the most important thing.
This is an open apology to Nick Lee, Penn State's 141lber. (Stated such to separate him from the other 40 some Lees Wrestling at the Big10s.)
Nick, I never told anyone not my wife, kids, Priest, or Psychiatrist but I thought you had absolute no scrambling ability in your skill set. None! I thought bricks had more movement.
Your skill set was just overwhelming people like a grizzly bear after it's prey.
I've seen masseusse not touch a client in one hour as much as you are all over your opponents in seven minutes.
Octopus say what the hell, how is he doing that?
But last night against Sebestian Rivera. That was art. No brick. Just scramble after scramble. I thought I was watching Nadia Comaneci and Mark Hall out there in a Penn State singlet.
Thank you for proving me wrong. Good luck the rest of the tournament and at the Big Show down the road.
Man I feel better.
