Brooks beats Cutch. You would think they way the fans reacted that he just won the NC.

At this point, they'll take whatever they can get....

PSU sends 6 to the finals

Don't be the first person I have to ignore. Uncalled for comment.

Whats the team score now?

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Imar decked Murphy last time they met...something is wrong with Imar

He's having nightmares of what's coming tomorrow...

 

[a_mshaffer]

i guess Jordan can still wrestle back and get a slot for Nationals?

Taylor didn't let him shoot on his left leg and made JC pay for not great shots.

Stoll loses to Black 3-0

Can you blame them?

Not much else to cheer about. Penn State has for all intents and purposes... just wrapped up the Big Ten Championship in the Semi-Finals.

GAP THAT WON'T BE MADE UP.

141 Semi:
Jimmy Gulibon vs. Javier Gasca (MSU)

Per 1:
Jimmy shoots on a single, nothing. Jimmy shoots, then Gasca counters, both on their knees, they scramble and Gasca with the TD, 0-2. Jimmy with the esc, 1-2. Jimmy in on a head inside single, but it ends in a stalemate. Gasca in on a leg and gets the TD, 1-4. Jimmy with the esc, 2-4. 30 sec left. End.

Per 2:
Gasca takes down. Jimmy riding well. Stall warning on Jimmy. 1:20 left. Gasca broken down, then works back up, then broken down. Jimmy with a 2-on-1 for a tilt, but doesn't get to 45 degrees so no swipes. Gasca finally out with 15 sec left, 2-5. 1:13 in RT for Jimmy

Per 3:
Jimmy takes down. Jimmy is out in 7 sec, 3-5. Lots of hand fighting and battling. 45 sec left. Jimmy in on the right leg, and gets the TD, 5-5. 20 sec left. Gasca to seated position, and driven back down. He rides out, and with RT wins 6-5. Not pretty, but Jimmy got it done.

Terrific win by Jimmy. Avenged his regular season loss and figured out how to get past a taller, lankier type wrestler. He's been looking great late in the season. I thought he looked like he was on track in the OK St match even though he lost. It appears he's got his confidence back and is determined to finish his shots. His conditioning looks good as well. It's great to see a kid work his way through adversity like he's had and start to see the rewards of his efforts. Awesome work Jimmy, but still some work to do...the top of the podium is in sight!

Dude got caught and injured, don't be a dick

 

[LemonPie]

So does Mark Martin have a chance to get a wildcard or is he done?

 

[NittanyLion84]

Who is the next Hawkeye deserving of a 29 page thread on their board?

Right now it's probably a tie between Gilman and Meyer.

I have the offender on ignore, but let me guess: the same puckered-up idiot who earlier this year called Jimmy "LOLibon" ... right?

Yep.

 

[El-Jefe]

That's what I suspected. In which case, "don't be a dick" ... we would have better luck asking Cael to start drinking Irish coffee, or asking Brands to sit still for the entire NCAA tournament.

 

[amalone]

I don't think IMar has been right since Nolf pinned him, I think Nolf really did a number on IMar's confidence.

Based on IMAR's performances against tougher opponents after Jason... IMAR's hype has definitely taken a hit. He's not as psychologically opposing and as feared by his opponents. He looks very beatable.

IMAR was thrown to his back by Ruschell and won a sqeeker with a late TD again Murphy of Michigan. He's very beatable again with Jason Nolf looking unbeatable.

Yea, no doubt, a complete Richard-head comment. I still think there's a decent shot that Geno gets an at-large invite if he beats Rhoads for 7th Place. He would have gone 3-2 in b1g and would be 22-11 on the season. Thoughts?
