Really good tactical match by Barr. Little wrestled him tough, but was tiring in the 3rd and OT. Barr didn't get too excited, picked his shot and made it count.

This was the type of match you have to be able to win at NCAAs, and he did it against a returning AA. Great sign for his postseason.
 
It looks like Rokfin might FINALLY be up for me, but I presently have the "Starting Soon" graphic.
 
Well, I can’t complain, it bailed on me before I was able to enter my credit card info, so I got youtube for free. Should I tip one of you guys?

Here ya go, don’t walk shoeless on hot pavement….



At this point I hope the continue the free youtube, would hate to sign up and have them crash again.
 
He looked tired.
Pretty much through January last season I was all over Kasak on these boards for having no gas tank. Of course, a little different situation in terms of a cut in his first couple of outings, but he was still gassing when he bumped up. At the end of the year, he shut me up.

Early this season, I doubt he's put up more than an escape in any match so far past the midpart of the 2nd period. I don't feel like checking how accurate that is, but anecdotally it feels about right. Seems like he starts his match management about then and he's pretty good at it.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the kind of kid who knows when they lights come on and is going to have himself prepared when that time rolls around. Maybe he's getting used to wrestling the big guys - it can take a little more out of you and he definitely looks like he could make the cut back to 149 without much issue. Or maybe he's intent on getting some extra time doing stuff he likes while he can, lol. The deer season doesn't last all winter.
 
PLEASE Rokfin. Don’t play games here. Just keep it up on YouTube
I hear you. Even if they get their website up, keep it on YouTube so we don't have the fiasco we had in the Davis-Bailey match.

It's also a little harder to breathe with a plug in one of your nostrils and blood running down the back of your throat.
 
Gotta say. Despite the score, Little Rock is the only team that showed up to wrestle against PSU. Kudos
Amen to that! I was really impressed with how LR came out to wrestle. Even the matches they got dominated and teched (which were most) I thought they wrestled hard and put up a good fight. Much respect for them! . I hope they continue to build and rise. I did feel bad for that little boy with the LR singlet sitting with their team.....future LR AA? ;) Coaches son?

I feel bad for all of our fans that paid for Rokfin and got stiffed, sorry about that guys! But thanks for letting us know about the YouTube link. Very lucky for me as I didn't pay......feel bad but I'm enjoying this. Hopefully the Mizzou match is on.
 
I caught Little’s match against Mizzou and he looked the part of a returning AA. One thing that caught my eye during his match was the bandaging on Little’s head. Having had my fair share of friction burn and eye injuries because of handfighting, I can tell you it hurts like a mother every time you tie up. Props to him for taking the match with Barr
