Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread: Session IV -- National Semis!

[SandBuff]

Keegan O should transfer to PSU.

 

[RB-Old]

It seems like Max is dealing with a shoulder issue, he's not nearly as good on top as he should be.

 

[PAgeologist]

Love how Burroughs threw a shout out to M2 and DT. Bet DT is so proud of this kid

I bet DTs wallet is happy too.

 

[mcpat]

We have Eight All-Americans!

 

[js8793]

Thank you for your preachy bullshyt.

it’s called having a heart. you should try it sometime!

 

[johnstownsteel]

You're not being an idiot, he has jumped levels and this feels like the national title right now in the semis

I think the two best at the weight are going at it in the Star/Foca match.

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

I'd actually be shocked if her hands weren't cut in that tirade. I have a God awful temperament and even I cringed at that. She has to know the lights are on them.

Absolutely. She's not just another wrestling mom. She was an Olympic alternate; so she should know win or lose; tabby cat not wildcat.

Robb took a few seconds to have pleasant exchange with his opponent.

Yianni gave Van Ness a shove.

Sports doesn't develop character; it reveals it.

Looks like something is going on. Doesn’t seem to be able to lift anything. Can’t ride anyone.

 

[johnstownsteel]

mom's are off limits pr should be.

Yeah I agree. Wish HR would agree too. Maybe they would keep accusing moms kids of being on roads

 

[zzs006]

Let’s go Carter!!

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Yianni makes it easy not to root for him.

I have no problem with the guy. Sure, he's confident, but still respects the opponent. There are bigger douches around.

man making fun of spencer’s mom for being devastated is the ultimate loser sh*t. scumbag behavior from a fan base that loves to hold itself up as “classy”.

There are reasons:

Over on the Iowa board, somebody said that Spencer’s parents had bad-mouthed PSU’s coaches for the last five years. Can anybody here expand on that? What did they say about Cael et al? I can’t imagine a D1 coach of Cael’s caliber gives Spencer much of a thought he’s creating a dynasty.

Almost 290 mothers will have a son end this tournament with a loss. Almost 320 mothers will have sons take at least 1 loss sometime in this tournament. How about if all of them acted like that in the stands after a loss?

mom's are off limits or should be.

there goes my dating life.....

Shw can have a heart risking your eyes. Nobody's wearing safety glasses there and shouldn't have to expect to need them because cra cra canine DNA flips out.

 

[zzs006]

Great start!! He wrestles so well with a lead. Really tough to get to. Now put a ride on him

 

[johnstownsteel]

there goes my dating life.....

POTY

I don't like it either but no one from HR should be casting stones about scumbag behavior.

 

[McScoreley]

Star is trying to crank him over hard wow

 

[zzs006]

Damn. I thought he was going to turn him. Still, I’ll take a td and ride out

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

there goes my dating life.....

That went with the thread about Warner's mother..

 

[nitanee123]

Speaking of the upset of Spencer Lee by Ramos of Purdue, Purdue’s No. 1 seed mens basketball team just got upset by Fairleigh Dickinson.

 

[caliPSUfan]

Happy for Max! The tourney ain’t over for him, but it hasn’t been the year he wanted so far and I’m stoked he found a way on to the podium!

8 AA’s for PSU too, awesome!!!

I booed Spencer when the announcer introduced him. I booed her glasses after the match for not withstanding that beating they took.

 

[johnstownsteel]

We have Eight All-Americans!

Maybe saying this could be PSUs best team ever not so crazy anymore.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

I swear Carter just saves another gear in case he needs to upshift for a big match.

 

[Bob_Anderson]

When one witnesses something so extraordinary as a grown woman ripping apart her eyeglasses in a fit of rage, people are going to comment about it. Some may even think it's funny and laugh about it.

 

[zzs006]

Carter is so tough. Just a straight savage on the mat. He’s a bully but is also so fundamentally sound. So tough to score on

 

[PSUcup1]

Carter looking perfect here

 

[mcpat]

Traux over Beard 4-2 in blood round.

 

[zzs006]

Carter pushing while leading in the 3rd and forces a stall. Foca has nothing for him!! Td to make it 5-0.

 

[pish69]

Congrats Max!! Keep battling thru!

Starocci pure dominance!

 

[sneedram55]

If there is a more comfortable 7-0 win I'd like to see it. Carter just beat the poo out of a great wrestler in Foca. Carter is a rock star!

 

[CentexLion]

I swear Carter just saves another gear in case he needs to upshift for a big match.

He’s the biggest staller in the team. He just grabs and runs. 😂

 

[mcpat]

That was way easier for Carter than I thought it would be.

 

[billrag]

Extremely dominant performance by Carter there. Obviously, he was wrestling a guy who's really, really good, but Foca struck me as a guy who was losing and didn't seem to have any real desire to score points. Come on man, take your shot.

 

[LDandy]

Foca, how the hell can you be down 3-0, take neutral and then get hit for stalling? You deserve to lose.

 

[mcruny42]

Thataboy Carter. Controlled and dominated that match.

 

[zzs006]

That was about a perfect match! 6-0 with riding time. Pretty sure he will do the same thing tomorrow night

PSU fans over there I never heard of. Must be football dicks who stop by every march. The stupid shit they say is embarrassing. Think I read a post by mcpat to stay off that board wtf

 

[caliPSUfan]

Never in doubt for C-Star there!
