I haven't heard MMA. I have heard WWE as his next stop.
2021 NCAAs
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
SIAP but any idea who Beard gets in blood rounds? I imagine it's someone tough (the top bracket was loaded) and seeing how he looked against Woodley, not feeling it at all.
3rd session stats
Our wrestlers had some tough breaks and of course being the 3rd round, tougher competition.
Overall Score
47-39 (but keep in mind McKee's pin isn't factored in here)
Takedowns
12-10
Reversals
2-2
2 NF
2-0
4 NF
0-0
RT
4-3
ST
0-2
Escapes
Unfortunately:
11-10
Pins
0-1
(When was the last time Penn State didn't get a pin at the NCAA tournament?)

Yeah ... not feeling that, would love to be proven wrong though!
Beard was by far the biggest disappointment of the day for me. Not only that he lost, but the way he lost.
And obviously, I'm referring to on-the-mat wrestling, not the injuries to Berge and Howard.
For sure, there is no easy path to AA ... I feel that knee is a thing for Michael (and we'll never know) and between it being a half season and him missing time, he was not going to be tournament ready this year.
Let's hope Beard swigs down a 2L bottle of mountain dew before his next match. When his tank is empty it is bone dry, and he completely shuts down.
I gave an 'Oh shit, here we go again' 30 seconds into that match. On a full tank he probably majors. Almost all of his loses the past two years have been due to an empty tank.
After this morning I was confident in top 4, then..

Should be a fun match with Hall next round. Both true freshman.
My damn internet guy is working on installation.
if I’m not watching semis tonight, do a welfare check.

Interesting run for Harris. Lost to 4 seed Schultz from AZ State in first round, then took out seeds 3 and 11 today. If Kerk gets by him, in the next round he gets .... 4 seed Schultz from AZ State
Lol where is this mma bs come from? Gable himself has said he’s going to the WWE. It’ll be interesting if he comes back next year. Hope he does. Hell hope he comes back for two more years. He should be a three timer.
Can someone post the upcoming match details for the remaining PSU wrestlers? At work tonight with limited access to the Internets.
133 - Semi: RBY vs (3) Myers - VT
141 - Semi: N. Lee vs (3) SeaBass - Rutgers
157 - R12: Berge - possible MFF w/ knee, otherwise vs (33) Sheets OkSt
174 - Semi: C. Starocci vs (2) Romero - Utah Valley

In other news, the Buckeyes lost to Oral Roberts in BBall. Supposedly a group of Ohio State parents will now demonstrate at the BIG HQ to ask them to petition the NCAA for a do over.

I mentioned this last night during his match in round 2. He was losing his legs and sucking wind and said he welcomed the breather when his opponent took injury time. Todays match didnt surprise me at all.
There's a reason this is by far the best board on Rivals. Good Lord, the sh&t show elsewhere is beyond belief. We're down two wrestlers due to injuries, and they're worried. Blaming refs every chance they get. Lmao. If we didn't have injuries, we may have actually given them a run for their money.
I had to work today and missed all the action. Thanks to everyone for the scores and updates. I was able to relive it by reading through these threads.
Just remember how far everyone else thought we were from contention at the beginning of the season and how tenuous even having the tournament was.
We won't win the team championship, but some things are certain:

We won't win the team championship, but some things are certain:
- It'll be a war next season.
- Iowa isn't as strong as they thought.
- This is the #1 NCAA wrestling board.

Whats surprising is that he had all day to recover, and tank was still empty.
His first match yesterday was relatively easy; his 2nd was tougher, but didnt go into OT.
Run, run, run, run.
PSU looked good early on in Session 3A, but an injury to Berge and then Howard getting pinned (and possibly injured) took some of the shine off of the session. PSU then went 2-2 in Session 3B, so not an outstanding morning/afternoon, but a lot to be proud of.

I post upcoming PSU mat assignments as I learn of them. Others do as well; we try to help each other out during NCAAs. The best sources I have found for mat assignments in past Nationals were TrackWrestling (go to their dashboard) or the Twitter account of Penn State Wresting (@pennstateWREST).
