KERK!!! So damned proud of this kid!

 

[Maddog]

If Kerk wins, Michigan has to win and pin in the 4 matches this morning and both this evening!

And have PSU lose every bout.

 

[Hotshoe]

OMG! I didn't look at that closely before posting!!!!!!!!!!! I may leave it for the humor unless folks find it too offensive. LOL!

Lmao!

 

[RB-Old]

I'm starting to think Iowa might not win this.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Kerk with very workmanlike win over Parris; in control the whole way. Almost turned Parris once but couldn't hold it.

Overall, UM goes 1-3 in the consolation semis, while PSU goes 1-0. Pretty good result.

 

[dsites52]

Like I said, Hammers gonna ham!

 

[PAgeologist]

Is he stabbing him with a knife or making a quick 50.00?

Something will be coming out of Raiden, but it's not blood

On the very, very edge of a championship right now. A small hair or a piece of straw will secure the 10th NCAA victory:

Team	Points	Maximum Potential Points	# F	# Cons Semi	# 3rd-4th	# 5th-6th	# 7th-8th
Team Standings
Penn State	111.5​	144.5​	5​	1​	1​	​	​
Michigan	88​	112​	2​	4​	1​	3​

LOL HEY MEATCHICKEN HOWS THAT 100 YRS GOING??

 

[nerfstate]

I’d like to petition the NCAA to add a “Duck Rule” true 2nd match.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

For a smaller heavyweight Kerk has a very effective ride.

I think because he’s so tall it gets lost, but he’s certainly not small even if he’s “smaller.” He’s 240+ plus and just carries it like a football player.

 

[okinburg1]

OT slightly but there seem to be a TON of empty seats for this session

 

[Verolion]

Points PSU 111.5. Michigan most possible points 112. It's a lock!

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Sorry Dan - it’s really back home now after a short visit

 

[johnstownsteel]

Iowa needs 81 points to hit their fans “magical” 150 point goal.

 

[RoarLions1]

Magic number now .5 points!!! Even mathematically, it’s over after the first Michigan non-pin.

 

[PSU210]

This program is absolutely AMAZING when you think of how little we got out of 125, 157, no 165 and lock it up BEFORE the finals.........who would have bet that???????

 

[tullfan68]

well at least they beat iowa!!

 

[IndyLion1]

3rd Place Match: Kerk vs Wood, LEH

All these have to win by pin:
5th: Lewan vs Teemer, ASU
3rd: Amine vs Wick, CP
5th: Massa vs Plott, OKST
5th: Parris vs Davison, NW

yes so basically PSU won with a 6 man roster!!

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Mountain man DeAugustino returns to the mat, this time against Arajau. Tough assignment, but I'm pulling for him. As are hermits everywhere.

 

[Pocky]

Something is wrong with ESPN’s current standings?? They don’t show tOSU with their number one classes, blackshirts, premier facilities in the top 10. Has to be an error

Thanks for all your scoring updates and projections these last three days. I think you’re safe to take a break now!

 

[LDandy]

Kerk definitely leveled up this tournament. While the skill has been there all along, the confidence to score against top competition is a joy to see. With Kerk being healthy, he is going to be a real problem for the division moving forward in a post Gable Landscape.

 

[PD4thespawn]

Let's go Kerk!

Ah, no...

You have to page down until you reach Positive Infinity.

 

[Psalm 1 guy]

So frustrating!! Had we not foolishly missed those earlier bonus points we would have already locked up the title! Seriously though, this weekend was the first time I have ever blocked any posters, but three of them finally pushed me over the edge : )

Definitely a better, more confident wrestler than he was even a month ago. Beating Parris twice already meant he had no fear of him whatsoever. Solid performance.

 

[okinburg1]

Wait, someone here has clearly elucidated how a team needs 8 scoring wrestlers (or was it 9?) to win a natty. WTF is going on???

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

But, but, but .... RBY was stalling!

Someone who (thankfully) was and is no longer here.

He's got a great shot at a title next year. Just got to get by Cass.

Good point. He's definitely strong whatever he weighs in at.

Representing the Revenant Conference

Slush fund!

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Marinelli getting absolutely worked by Wick. When the lights shine the brightest, dude comes up the smallest.

Imagine what Kegan would do to him! O'Toole is a freaking animal.

 

[mcpat]

When McKee lost to DeAugustino, Barnett, Schroder and Heinselman in Jan/early Feb, I didn’t see 5th at NCAAs in March happening.

To be fair, bonus points mattered in the past, but I had a strong feeling that our boys were prohibitive favorites without them. And they proved me right. Thanks, fellas!

 

[PAgeologist]

Slush fund!

Steroids!

 

[johnstownsteel]

Word has it that UNITED WAY and Penn State University are partnering up to donate 50 points to the University of Iowas wrestling team and their fans. Just so happens its not really a “Great time to be a Hawks fan” and this charitable contribution will help make the off-season a bit more bearable for the Iowa faithful.
