More importantly, whos is the hot blond sitting on our bench???

Her name has to be Maddie

 

[The Kid Twist]

Can we get this ref for the rest of our matches??? He actually knows how ref a wrestling match! He blows that D-Bag Angel who always seem to ref every match in PA.

 

[NoVaLion2]

Watching Berge move like he does just makes me smile.

 

[LDandy]

Berge looked slick AF with that ankle pick

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Wow, beautiful ankle-pick by Berge - about as clean a finish off that move as you'll ever see.

 

[pish69]

BRADY looking good!! Never in danger!

 

[billrag]

Nice, solid win for Brady Berge, just what he and the team needed.

 

[LDandy]

Berge loves those tight matches, but Amine never really threatened him.

 

[sneedram55]

Berge with the 3-1 victory! Looks comfortable at 165. Very solid win! Well done Brady.

 

[dsites52]

Is it just me or does Jibbons always sound a bit defeated when the good guys win?

 

[WreslingFan0314]

Cam Amine vs. Brady Berge - 165
1st Period - Berge active and lots of hand fighting. Brady with a beautiful ankle pick to get a TD at about :50. BB does an awesome job riding and controlling Amine to finish the period up 2-0 with :50 riding time.
2nd Period - BB on top. Amine gets a quick escape, holding riding time to :56. No score the rest of the period. Lots of collar ties and snap downs, but not committed shots from either. 2-1 Berge
3rd Period - Berge gets the escape starting from the bottom. Riding time :35. 3-1 BB. Berge playing more defense than trying to score, though he did take a swipe at another ankle pick. Amine pics up the pace, but BB's defense was solid.
Final Brady Berge 3 Cam Amine 1
Penn St 17
Michigan 6

 

[RealMicah]

Couldn’t be happier for Brady

 

[Hotshoe]

What nonsense. Absolute bullsh&t.

 

[psualt]

massa lazy on the escape and gets rewarded. Terrible.

 

[LDandy]

How is that not an escape? They awarded 1?

 

[Cali_Nittany]

What nonsense. Absolute bullsh&t.

Unbelievable

 

[sneedram55]

Massa escaped. The ref awarded 1. Then a takedown for Carter. Then overturned. Hmm .. and somehow michigan didn't even have to use a challenge?

 

[sneedram55]

Carter wins 3-2. Shouldn't have been that close due to the shit call. Massa is tough though. Good, gritty win by Starocci!

 

[psualt]

Terrible job by refs tonight. How do you let them throw a brick when they already lost one? Then you call it a referee review.

 

[98lberEating2Lunches]

Carter trained through? He came out hot, maybe too hot. Massa was cagey and almost stole one.

 

[Cowbell Man]

Terrible job by refs tonight. How do you let them throw a brick when they already lost one? Then you call it a referee review.

Totally bizarre.

 

[fortheglory94]

3 reviews, all go Michigan's way. This match should not have been that close. Clear separation, escape awarded. How can you overturn that? If this guy is intimidated by this quiet crowd, I hope he never works a match of ours at Carver.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Not sure how as a ref you can yell “center!” at Massa 5 times then not call the stall when he never works in, only to call Starocci for stalling 30 seconds later.

 

[WreslingFan0314]

Logan Massa vs. Carter Starocci - 174
1st Period - Starocci gets a takedown after a scramble at 1:49. Massa tried to roll through twice but CStar got the two. Escape for Massa, 2-1 CStar. Stall warning on Massa? End period 2-1
2nd Period - Quick escape for Carter. Massa in on a shot, ends in a stalemate after a good scramble. Still 3-1. Another Massa shot, but stuffed. Stalemate again. 3-1 Starocci end 2nd
3rd Period - CS starts on top. Massa escapes after about :20. Starocci immediately in on a shot and finishes to make it 5-2. Officials Review. Overturned. No escape given. Still 3-1 CS. Cuts Massa. 3-2 CS. Massa the aggressor. Stall warning on CS. Massa gets a bear hug but couldn't finish as they g out of bounds. Massa keeps at it, but Carter gets a shot into the legs and is able to hold him off.
Final - Carter Starocci 3 Logan Massa 2
Penn State 20
Michigan 6

first time really watching brooks this year. he can expect my notes shortly.

 

[AndEEss]

Carter trained through? He came out hot, maybe too hot. Massa was cagey and almost stole one.

“Almost” and “Stole” being the key words.

 

[Nittfan95]

These refs are beyond awful. Let’s also discuss that earlier in the Starocci match, Carter was about to get 2 on the scramble and the ref blew stalemate. Just awful.

 

[WreslingFan0314]

See that all the time. Once they break, ref waits until they turn around or get a step or two away before awarding the point. He awarded the point early, IMO. No issue with the reversal of the call at all.

 

[js8793]

textbook 5 on 2 from brooks on that mat return attempt

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

massa lazy on the escape and gets rewarded. Terrible.

Another situation where they incorrectly reference "reaction time". Don't believe it applies in this non TD situation.... Wrestler's were face-to-face and there was clear separation - an escape point was even called by Official. As a Ref, you can't call the escape there (with both conditions met - face-to-face and clear separation) and then reverse your call, that's utter bullshit as the escape call is what signals the former top wrestler that he's good to go for the TD as as an escape point has been awarded. Utter bullshit call there.

don't you have to get to a "defensible" position first? you see that situation when guys try to cut guys and they won't get up too.

 

[pish69]

AB!!!!

 

[Treelion66]

Aaron Brooks is a strong man.

 

[sneedram55]

Brooks wins 3-1! That match alone was worth the price of admission. Outstanding Aaron! Wooo!

 

[LDandy]

Brooks is absolutely unbelievable. He could be the best ever when his time is over at Penn State.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

And that is what you call elite defense!

 

[RGWhirly]

Damn. Brooks worked him so hard dude basically quit with a few seconds left.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Have to get some work done so preoccupied, but I just want to say - **** you Mike Amine!

 

[CurtisLoew40]

Respect for Amine for going for it. Brooks and Cstar are insane.
