Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread

Like the vast majority of Penn State wrestlers, he said that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are what give him his "power." And, with a smile responding to a question, that they also give him his "finesse." That last part was very funny, actually.

Aaron went a bit further and said every human needs Jesus to be saved, and that you cannot be saved through "false prophets," including "Muhammad."

All I have to say is:

You can say you don't like Aaron saying this, but Kessenich asked Aaron what gives him his power and strength, and the above is simply what Aaron thinks is the source and meaning of his whole life and his whole wrestling career. He believes his talents are given him to share the Gospel. I, for one, respect his honesty.
Yep. I mean we’re a pluralistic society and all but if you are a Christian you can’t actually disagree with him. Not that I’d bring it up in polite company though.
 
Kirk seems to lack urgency. A couple times he remained in positions while time on clock was ticking with no action. One time he gave up 5 seconds on the edge while on bottom and his hand in bounds when he could have gotten a restart. Or it seems he is waiting for Parris to move to counter when sometimes you need to initiate.

I didn't see that. Was Kerk down on the mat when the hands locked?

Yes, Kerk was down and Parris VERY briefly laid one hand on top of the other. It's hardly worth mentioning and I doubt that they would have gotten the call even had they seen it and thrown a brick. Wouldn't have mattered anyway.
 
Fireman's Carry yet again. How many times is Kerk going to give up the Fireman's Carry Dump to Parris this year??? Geez. Kerk finished virtually every leg attack he made last year... this year, he ends up in a scramble on top time-aftet-time.... lets Parris work to one side under his arm..... and dumps him. Has to be the 4th or 5th time I've seen Parris do the near identical thing!
 
Dang there's some square stances in this match. I'm kind of amazed Ramos managed to score 7 on Lee, let alone pin him.
 
What's he supposed to do? Parris is on another planet this year. Kerk almost got him in the first but once Parris put his weight on him he took all the life out of him.
I'm assuming (hoping?) he means the match was lackluster. And the match was definitely lackluster. Which is not Kerk's fault.
