Literally, If you have a leg, there is no td.

And that position didn't improve. Why all of a sudden at that point does he call it a TD is beyond me. I thought they would have challenged that.

 

[mcpat]

Kasak will be mat 2; Mesenbrink and Haines mat 1

 

[Chris Watts]

I like Davis’ grit. Needed to shoot more but a tough kid.

I don't know. It was his shot that lead to the scramble that lost the match (even if I don't think it was called correctly). Though it's fun to see lots of offense, sometimes defense is the strategy that wins the match.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

To Angelo Rini no less. JFC, that kid (Bouxakis) is a roller coaster. Can't see him at tOSU next year.

Rini is now 3-0 against Nic in their careers

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

i don't know what the weirder commercial is.. Dude Wipes or that thing poking into the hip.

It's not like the refs would've changed the call.

He'll be a black shirt.

Parco was up 15-2 with 2+ of RT, chose bottom, got ridden, turned once for 4, gave up 2 stalls and lost his RT.

Won 15-7

@SlipperyPete12 - Thank you. I know you hear it all the time, but my current situation is: My gf and I both woke up at 330 am going 15 shits and 8 pukes each so far, probably from the seafood restaurant we ate on Thursday. I can't tolerate the radio or TV today between the weakness, sore eyes and frequent short naps. I can only tolerate reading the PBP when I can login.

So thank you again! I'm guessing you have no idea some of the circumstances surrounding the positive effect that your detailed posts here have on others. So just passing it on.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if Cannon beats Miller

 

[PSU Mike]

Parco does the thankless job of cleaning the mat with himself in the third, but still gets bonus.

 

[PAgeologist]

It's not like the refs would've changed the call.

The BIG should have 1 or 2 refs for reviews in the tournament.

Davis has to develop a scoring shot from space. It might be good for him to get a little more match time in the consis. I think some of the problem is lack of confidence. Hopefully he gets a couple a guys he can try to open up on.

 

[Babs382]

Say what you want about Davis, but that kid is tough. I have a feeling he will be in that blood round battling Friday night with Shawver or Bailey or VanDee.

 

[LemonPie]

Well I’m feeling much better about that Sealey match against Cannon. Ethan Miller getting punished for his Blaze duck.

 

[jmadden1998]

Down goes D'Emilio. Webster beats him 5-1

 

[Creek Side]

Kasak on 2

 

[mcpat]

Miller becomes the first 1-seed to lose, shocking no one.

cartella is good on top but Parco gasses and breaks on bottom

 

[donboy6499]

Should have wrestled Blaze he might need it on the resume.

 

[PAgeologist]

Tyler with no headwrap

 

[PAHURDLER]

ANOTHER eye poke for Kasak

 

[mcpat]

Kasak needs a motorcycle helmet

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

What is up with Davis giving up his legs over and over? He's not going very far at Nationals giving up his legs that easily.

 

[jmadden1998]

Gallagher Injury defaults to Mesenbrink

 

[LemonPie]

He is. He’s been injured on like three separate occasions since last April. I actually enjoy watching his scrambles. Thought he could have been a little bigger this year, maybe a redshirt would do him good.

 

[PAgeologist]

Miller becomes the first 1-seed to lose, shocking no one.

I'd like to have seen Tyler pound him into the mat though.

 

[PAHURDLER]

Gallagher Injury defaults to Mesenbrink

I missed it, did they actually proceed with wrestling? What happened?

Peaking is a state of mind.

 

[mcpat]

Last year Davis had an awesome B1G tourney and a not so great NCAA tournament. I believe they figured out how to switch that up this year.

Nothing. Pre planned at the start.

Stepped on the mat for 1 second and defaulted

Kasak is a Tasmanian Devil.

It's almost like the more specific the rules, the less clear it is...

If Gallagher wrestles in consis thats the dick move of all dick moves.

Teemer getting a much needed break
