Jonathan Kaloust Bearcat Open (11/12)

[RoarLions1]

Wonder if Zain is practically a coach for some of these new kids. Roar or anyone who knows. Is Zain taking an active role in the development of these guys besides just being a practice partner?

Coach is not what I'd call Zain, more an incredibly respected team-mate. Does EVERYTHING right, so the underclassmen really look up to him, along with the other really successful wrestlers.

Still working for a living, so don't make it to practices, but I do have regular conversations with folks that are in the room. Anyone that wants to get better, searches out Zain, and as I said, others, to get better themselves.

At the same time, Zain wants to get better too, and searches out those wrestlers that will help him.

Thank you guys!!

 

[LemonPie]

Verk with a nice match. His opponent had just beaten an NCAA qualifer, 12-7.

 

[El-Jefe]

Blumer up mat 1, vs. Briody Columbia.

 

[Afw6006]

Good match for Verk. Seems to have bought into the attacking philosophy. Not sure why his TD towards the end was counted as a slam/potentially dangerous. Had the guy on one leg and he tried to trip the other. The other guy tried to jump the trip but tripped and landed on his back hard. The hard fall was more-so due to him tripping on the hop rather than Verk trying to slam him

 

[Afw6006]

Pipher wins via MFF

 

[El-Jefe]

Blumer 13-3 after 2.

Could be because some wrestling officials are not very good @ officiating.

Had no idea PD3 was in this event.

I didn't see the move, but in general the onus is on the offensive wrestler when they have someone partially or fully off the mat (he had him one leg), that they are responsible for bringing the wrestler safely to the mat.

Savage and BAMF all at the same time

 

[onyourfeet]

Just saw Blumer throw in some Noff ju-ju legs to get a count from neutral

 

[El-Jefe]

Savage and BAMF all at the same time

IDK how to take this since Savage missed weight and BAMF is always injured.

Beautifully-put.

Be careful or Turk will show up accusing us of having an unhealthy preoccupation with you know who and you know who.

Rasheed on deck Mat 5

 

[nitlion6]

Beautifully-put.

Once had a very physical 215 heavyweight (b4 220 class) hit a blast double on a 250 pound not very physical heavyweight. Never lifted him off the mat, but did chop from behind both knees as he stepped right through the move. Picture perfect move. Slam.
After the match I ask him (ref) what was he thinking? His answer was "it sounded like they hit the mat hard". I pointed out my guy never lifted him off the mat. He just stepped through the move like you are suppose to. Obviously no one was injured. The other kid jumped up at the whistle and ran back to the circle and into ref position. The ref had to explain to him what was called and he needed checked. I have seen many weak calls. For some reason this one generally jumps to the top.

All I ever got was sounded hard when then hit the mat.

Yes, as was I. Because Tom Brands made a point to be clear that he wasn't exaggerating about the thickness of Larry Lee's intel folder.

Because heavies generally sound like feathers hitting pillows. SMH.

Does it explain how to get a good paying job at the College of Larry, Coe and Curly.

 

[El-Jefe]

Van Cura on mat 8, up 2-1 nearing the end of 1.

 

[PSU Mike]

The folder I have is 3" thick on them

Let’s not talk 3” thick about the father and son comments ...

 

[tikk10]

Shak very patient in spotting, nailing a pin in :43.

 

[tikk10]

Van Cura moves on as well, 6-4.

 

[tikk10]

Hoeg up on Mat 10 soon, Lindenmuth in hole on May 5.

 

[James P. Whitters III]

197 is such an interesting weight at PSU for me as it has three guys I feel pretty strongly about deserving something great to happen.
1. Cutch- So close last year to AA and had to move up and give up size due to Bo being Bo.
2.Raptor- Injuries have cheated the poor kid out of so much and he is an obvious talent with enough passion for the sport to fight his way back twice.
3.Shak- Just another talented guy who seems to never give up and has had extreme talent,injury, or a tough weight cut in his path most of the time.
I'm not sure who I'm pulling for at this point because all seem so deserving. True example of first world problems.

More orange pop out my nose- you kill me!
