2024 NCAA's - Match/discussion threads (merged)

I know Fix has gotten unwatchable at this point, but you gotta feel something for a forever bridesmaid.

 

[District four]

They need to reward the opponent with a point if you lose the brick call then coaches might think twice about it. Also. Coaches should be able to challenge a call not throw bricks to get a call like locked hands otherwise why have refs at all. This is ridiculous I mean seriously how many missed locked hands calls were in this tournament probably close to a hundred

Iowa petitioning the NCAA FOR A FIVE MILE RUN AWAY LANE ATTACHED TO THE SIDE OF THE WRESTLING FIELD OF PLAY.

Fix is a 4 time runner-up. Crazy

Honestly he looks like the same wrestler he was Freshman year. He should have move on to his Freestyle career years ago

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Fix can yell twooooooo!

Bummed for him slightly, but I wanted Arujau. He earned it.

I feel nothing for him. Got caught with PEDs in his system and his style is the worst that wrestling has to offer. Good riddance.

When a bridesmaid refuses to put out she ain't gonna get married. Fix doesn't do anything at all.

Vito breathing helium after the match

 

[El-Jefe]

Did Vito just say "the ref didn't want me to win"? Lol.

 

[PaWrestlingFan7]

That makes it worse and definitely a violation

Should have been a takedown and then a TV for grabbing the shoe. Score would have been 4-1.

 

[PAgeologist]

That wasn't half bad.

It was all bad.

Thank goodness Cornell was already locked in ahead of Iowa, or Brands would’ve thrown a brick in that match too.

Not one bit.

 

[kps7987]

Not a fan of the length of the match or Fx in general but I enjoyed the high level defense from Fix because Vito brings a variety of attacks from different angles. Most guys would have given up the major there. Glad Vito won because he deserved it.

 

[El-Jefe]

He'd be a more sympathetic figure if he had lost 12-10.

 

[zzs006]

Agreed. I actually think he might have better as a freshman. He really didn’t improve throughout his career.

 

[Ja1339]

Fix is a 4 time runner-up. Crazy

He’s like the Buffalo Bills of college wrestling 😆

 

[johnstownsteel]

Beau looked like he was trying to gas himself out before the match. Lol. Hopefully it means he comes out firing.

 

[mcpat]

I set the DVR to record an hour past scheduled time. I think I need to extend it.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Thank goodness Cornell was already locked in ahead of Iowa, or Brands would’ve thrown a brick in that match too.

Now that's hilarious. 'A brick just came out of the bleachers. What the heck, it was Tom Brands. He just pulled off his shoe and is twisting it frantically'

I would but he bored out my compassion.

 

[Rocky_Smith]

Say what you want about Fix but he does lose with class.

There is a word for people who take losing graciously. We call them “losers.”

 

[YeOldeCup]

What channel do we need to switch to at 10 to be sure we can watch AB? 😏

 

[goethe14]

Fix shouldn’t have been in the finals that many times. He was given so many breaks to get there every time.

 

[nittinsc]

That match took longer than the last 30 seconds of a women's BB game.

 

[zzs006]

Fix has never had a go to leg attack but his inside trip was deadly. I can’t remember the last time I saw him hit it. Kind of weird how defensive he became throughout the years

 

[zzs006]

Does Cormier think Mendez is a freshman?

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Beau's giving me another cardiac stress test,.

 

[katsujinken]

Cornell has pulled within 88 points of us.. time to worry?

 

[RB-Old]

It's weird how they never mention that Beau beat Mendez earlier in the year. It's all about the Big Ten final.

 

[Still in State College]

I will say that I think Vito was head burying him on purpose.

Glad they are both done.

 

[zzs006]

Damn. What a beautiful attack from Beau

 

[zzs006]

Bartlett has my heart beating out of my chest again

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Damn. That's rough.

 

[RB-Old]

How in the hell did that happen? Beau actually wrestled much better than he usually does.

 

[zzs006]

****! Are you kidding

[NittanyChris]

Mendez didn’t take a single shot. Lame.

 

[kingslayer_85]

How the hell did Mendez do that. I was watching it but couldn't believe it
