Illinois Match Thread

Except for Nick, first half was painful to watch. Not quite what I'd hoped for after a month off. Dog shit wrestling

Methinks that Punxsutawney Penn—the Great Groundhog of Wrestling— might be predicting a long cold winter before NCAAs arrive in late March.

I am no expert, but our basic positioning was worse than you would see at a high school match. Terrible
 
No Cenzo? I missed that one. Did they say why?
Someone confirm, but I thought I heard Byers say Cenzo was either wrestling in or preparing for a freestyle tournament.

Edit: Byers said he’s a little under the weather. Should be good to go on Sunday.
 
Can we go back to the 2010's? This decade is off to a very ... glacial start
 
Down 12-7 at intermission to Illinois.

Is now when we can expect all the football board mouth-breathers to take drive-by shots here?
No, but I do wish when people post as if they know something to speak damn English, or just shut up with the rumors. Tell it straight or don't tell anything. Took up half the first half.
