Jesus Kurt. Didn’t see that coming

 

[jmadden1998]

Here comes another blowout. Let's get to the competitive matches.

Y didn’t Davis go

 

[Ruby Tues]

Way to much for Kurt, a lot of expectation coming out of high school, but just doesn't workout sometimes...

 

[kingslayer_85]

Braeden's knee has been banged up since the Drexel match, probably needs rest

One thing about the board is our consistency so when our guys don’t wrestle they are banged up but any other team it is a duck.

 

[Lyons212]

A long time ago, Kurt would have been small for 118 when that was a weight class.

 

[js8793]

Just for fun, they should have let Ayala-Lilledahl and Cruz-McHenry wrestle. We would have had 2 pretty good matches!

 

[matter7172]

If the loss to Peterson woke Luke up, I'll live with it.

 

[Delcolion915]

Could have done without that one

 

[SUPERTODD]

That might have been the most overmatched a guy has looked in the Cael era. Completely dominated in every way. It’s a shame there is no room at 125 for him. He is just too small to be competitive at 133.

 

[donboy6499]

Y didn’t Davis go

Folks said knee?

Hope it’s not long term.

 

[eddy line]

I thought it would be tied after two but not 5-5.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Hmm. Davis has been wrestling since around mid-December. Helluva time to rest the knee.

Why no Block?

I'm more than happy to allow that Braeden maybe ducked tonight, but the difference is that he didn't guarantee Ayala's head earlier this week.

That’s also his problem at 125, 133 he is getting horsed.

What's the saying about glass houses and stones?
