9 Dean vs 26 Hoffman
WB
Dean with a couple snap down / front headlock positions early. Nothing. Dean with a counter shot. Shelfs the leg. Now up with it. Can’t get two before OOB? Highly questionable but no call and no challenge. Dean upset at the no call. 0-0 after one.
Dean on bottom. Out in 5 seconds. 1-0 Dean. A lot of this tournament is PSU opponent’s back at edge. Dean counters a bad shot and gets a TD. He deserved it; he had been initiating all the action until then. 3-0 Dean after two. 36 secs RT.
Hoffman goes neutral. Hoffman shoots and gets in deep. Scramble ensues. Eventually a stalemate. Dean counter shot gets a TD. 5-0 now. 45 secs to go. OOB with 34 to go. RT at 54 secs. Caution Hoffman. Riding goes over a minute. 6-0 Dean is the final. Will face winner of Harvey/Pentax next.

I anticipate a tough match for Kerk assuming he wins his QF
Hilger wrestling like he doesn’t want to mess up his man bun.

Thomas Cahill argues in his best-selling book How the Irish Saved Civilization that Ireland played a critical role in Europe's evolution from the

Hilger vs Kerkvliet
man this is an upper Midwestern named match
man this is an upper Midwestern named match
That was a nice controlled match by both Max and Kerk. Nothing spectacular, but solid in all facets.
We went for 9d, primarily Dublin with some side trips.
Liked it and glad we did. But if I had to do it all over again, I would break it up into multiple trips.
Dublin is possibly the cheapest Euro entry airport, and with a ton of low-cost flights to the continent. I'd use it as a layover (inbound or return) over multiple trips to Europe.
Greg and Dean cap off an amazing day of wrestling!! So much fun.
Based on what people said Dean will go again before tonight.
If the semis tonight goes the same way, I’m almost positive someone will be pumping on my chest.
Semis are going to look like a PSU dual.
Hendrickson-Kerk is gonna be a thing, I think. He’s taken another step this year.
Hendrickson is a fun heavy to watch. Him and Kerk should be exciting.
Fellas is a 51 point session good?
You mean an amazing MORNING, at least here in CA. WE ARE ….
I guess that means I have faith in Dean to win again in about an hour 😆
yeah offered himself sounds a bit too much like Bathsheba on the rooftop
Kerk better be on his A game. Hendrickson looking really good.
Correct, Dean will get the winner of Harvey - Pentz likely in an hour or so.
No gimmes in the semis at all. Shocker, the final 4 opponents in a bracket are tough!
Hendrickson training at altitude has turned him into a gas tank monster. Kerk better be ready for a 7-minute war
Get up to Derry, Northern Ireland on the River Foyle. Where the Troubles actually began. The walls still exist from the 1600's. Derry is where my family comes from. Spectacular country.
He looks good no doubt but Kerk gonna kick his ass!
Spencer and Yianni both lose tonight, LET'S GO!!!!
