Great season Levi. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Finishing second might be like "kissing your sister" but we know what it did for Bo and Jason.

They married their sisters?

Levi will be back. Great season. I like O’Connor - tough dude and has been through the ringer

And he turned down Larry Lee's meeting with Tom.

 

[Conewago]

Ew. This is what a loss on Saturday night feels like? Its been a while and I forgot but gross, zero stars. would not recommend. Helluva season though Levi, way to make D3 proud!

I hated the way O'Connor wrestled that. He wrestled "strategically." I get it, and it's effective, but it was stylistically incredibly boring.

Whatever. Levi will only get better if he works.

6th year. RS and Covid year although 2021 was only 13 matches. 138 matches. That's a lot of wrestling

Me and my coworkers have been calling these kids "Covid seniors"

 

[crockster]

So proud of the season Levi has had this year. True freshman, redshirt pulled in January, Big 10 champ, Big 10 FR of the year, NCAA runner-up! What accomplishments !Wow! Not easy taking on a 6 yr wrestler who is a NCAA champ and 5X AA. He wrestled tough and gave it his best. Next year he wil be the champion. Book it! Congratulations Levi!!

 

[Chris92]

Haven’t seen him in a while. Ok with me.

He's on the "new" site, not sure if he still is active here or not.

I just hate the way O'Connor wears his hair. Cornrows aren't meant for the whites.

He literally has the same hair as a woman I once worked for on a CSA farm. She was really nice! It threw me off when I saw this tonight.

 

[Conewago]

O'Toole owning the action from neutral so far!

 

[a_mshaffer]

yeah, 6th year Sr's are the norm, seemingly....

 

[PAgeologist]

It's a shame one of these guys has to lose. Both seem like great guys and are really good wrestlers.

Levi damn near did it...no shame losing to a 24 year old grown ass man as an 18 year old.

Reading between the lines, seems like even O'Connor knew he is having a much harder time winning that match if Levi just gets out in the 2nd period.

 

[PAgeologist]

OToole looking like a man on a mission against a guy who has beaten him several times

 

[raslen007]

One more year in the room and he wins that one.

 

[johnstownsteel]

That's not two.

 

[District four]

Not a bad loss at all for Levi. He is so fun to watch and he is having fun

 

[johnstownsteel]

That's bs

 

[js8793]

somewhere in the arena, tom ryan just spontaneously combusted

 

[js8793]

wait they took it away?

 

[johnstownsteel]

Keegan is the new Dake. Kid is money when lights are brightest.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

O'toole is special

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Carr danced too much in the first. He needed to get after it. O'toole was determined to not let it happen again.

 

[PAgeologist]

Wow. He took it to Carr.

 

[Hotshoe]

Damn. O'Toole goes beast mode on Carr.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Wow, O'Toole looked fantastic.

 

[js8793]

Feel a little for Carr. He earned the number 1 seed, but had a way tougher path while KOT cruised. Looked a little spent there. Marinelli treatment.

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Great match from O'Toole after losing twice.
Great sportsmanship from O'Toole and Carr.

 

[Conewago]

O'Toole is a dang good heartland kid. Expresses genuine "gratitude" to David Carr for the challenge.

 

[LDandy]

Great job by O'toole. He comes off as a really humble kid. Very easy to root for, as is Carr.

 

[Crunched]

OToole pretty humble kid.👍

 

[Dogwelder]

Anybody who doesn’t achieve their goals on another team probably wonders what might have been had they joined the Lions instead.

 

[Aardvark86]

OToole pretty humble kid.👍

You could do a lot worse than either carr or otoole

 

[NittanyChris]

Good interview. Very impressive. One less Hodge candidate now.

 

[PSUcup1]

He isn't going to.

🤷🏻‍♂️😉

 

[goethe14]

Strange draw For Carr. KOT coasted and Carr had a gauntlet. KOT better wrestler tonight.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Both of those guys are class acts, too bad one had to lose.

 

[RB-Old]

Kerk could win the Hodge for PSU tonight
