Robbie Howard deserves a scholarship just for his twitter.

I really hope Robbie has his day in the blue and white singlet.

 

[Hotshoe]

Damn, Griffith almost had Carr.

 

[mcruny42]

I do miss the Bull's annual March choke job, but this is still very entertaining.

 

[ggcpsu]

This session has been the best movie I’ve ever watched. unreal.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Griffith paid a heavy price losing to Olguin.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Just think of all those young recruits watching PSU do their thing. I know the entire Bassett crew is there. Glad they are getting to watch a little Pennsylvania light it up. Lol

 

[junior1]

MSU is an idiot.

who cares, gassed is gassed!

 

[mcruny42]

I hate that Amine win, really like Hamiti, but props to Cam

 

[Hotshoe]

My stress levels are getting tested.

Cool as a cucumber. Working under 1800lb draft horses will do that. I'm laughing my ass off from all the posts. Reading the SVN posts, I'm thinking, wait until I read the Levi posts! Lmao. What a great two days! Penn State destroys A&M, and wrestling is kicking a&&!

 

[Aardvark86]

The biggest surprise of the tournament so far..
They still make strawberry milk..??

no...that it doesn't curdle when you put vodka in it

 

[nitlion6]

I wanna have Levi's baby!!

Good God! Sounds heard on HR? For a thousand.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Quit the unsportsmanlike BS. If you were in Gavins shoes and one of your best remaining wrestlers has a chance at the semis and the take down was within seconds of the match ending, you would be throwing the brick too. Thats not unsportsmanlike....thats feeling for your wrestler and wanting to give him slim hope at maybe a change in call

The ref was ridiculously late in calling the takedown - it was not close. He had the T2 well before time ran out - hell he was close to earning exposure points! The Ref was trying not to call the takedown so hard, he didn't even bother to go down on his knees an start counting exposure despite Matthew's very clearly being taken down and back exposed!

 

[Aardvark86]

Best names match-up of the tournament

Quincy Monday vs. Caleb Fish

IMO

2 on 1 tag team...brock mauller

 

[tikk10]

Starocci is going to lay teenage wasteland to this B. O'Reilly kid.

 

[Agoodnap]

I have no problem looking dumb. It has happened often before and will again.

We know.

 

[El-Jefe]

... and we thought Byers went nuts. Rock Harrison on the call here.

 

[Ruby Tues]

Anyone need any salt head over to HR. There’s plenty of it….

So starocci has a chance in this match??

 

[dsites52]

Oh yeah. They are not in their usual high spirits.

 

[mcpat]

1 Starocci vs 8 O’Reilly
QF

They trade early reach shots. Carter in on a single. Finishes. 2-0 after 1:10ish. Riding. OOB. 1:15 to go. 36 secs RT. Escape. 2-1. Trading shots. Bailee came to wrestle. Carter in on a single but hard Whizzer from Bailee. Near edge of mat. Carter finishes just before clock expires. 4-1 after one.

Carter on bottom. Out in 19 secs. 5-1. Not much action after escape. 5-1 after two.

Bailee on bottom. To his feet. Standing sit out. To his feet. Standing switch earns an escape. 5-2 now. 1:35 to go. Carter seems content to just win. 5-2 is the final. On to the semifinals!

While I enjoy a HR meltdown as much as the next guy, I think for right now I don't need to expose my brain cells to their collective "stupid I am" circle jerk.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Went back and watched. Obvious bias aside it looks like Levi bridges pretty damn quickly.

 

[Conewago]

I am exultant at the poor performance by Okie State.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

We know.

Must be cool to have never been publicly wrong about anything.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Foca is dangerous, man. Every bit the threat that Mekhi is and maybe more so right now.

 

[nitlion6]

In case anybody needed a good example, O'Reilly continuously pulling himself and Carter off the mat there at the end of the first period is a text book edge stall call that the dimwits don't call.

 

[amattaro]

IOWA will not be on podium.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Foca is a tough out, but Storocci tougher.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

I hate that they don't call that enough.

 

[Conewago]

I called a kid (we're talking fairly low-pressure youth wrestling) for stalling for something like that once. Oh how the coach whined and whined.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Lewis beats Brands. Penn State pulling away.

 

[tullfan68]

wow iowa dropping fast!

 

[nitlion6]

Losing 5 - 2, over a minute to wrestle and the Minnesota kid never even changed levels to feign an offensive move.

 

[nitlion6]

wow iowa dropping fast!

Ain't it cool!

 

[sneedram55]

All college wrestlers are tough dudes. Lewis is out there with a finger flopping around out of place. "I'll get through it". Man I love this stuff.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Iowa going to need a lot of bonus in the consi rd or this will get away from them fast.

 

[mcpat]

I was thinking about taking a break from PBP but decided I’m much to superstitious to stop during this round.

 

[CholleyVandine]

Team score update:

19th place Northern Colorado is currently closer to Iowa than Iowa is to Penn State

UPDATED UPDATE: After the Aaron Brooks win, 30th place Columbia is now closer to Iowa than Iowa is to Penn State.

WE ARE pretty, pretty good.

[Conewago]

one of the best things about a guy like Brooks is he's about to wrestle a 2x AA and we're all saying, correctly, "no big deal, this should be bonus points"
