He has earned some rest. It will be great to see a fired up Beard if need be.

Nico won his big matches as a freshman wrestling in the nationals.
A highlight was Starocci going up to sit in one of the coaches chairs to get a better view of the Lionettes. 😂
At least he doesn’t have a crazy twin brother running around 😆
Except for RBY and AB. They played with the food for a while before the mercy killing.
One of my best friends and former coaching partners (D2 Hof and big 10 ref evaluator ) used to tell his freshmen that if you are turned to your back and held there with authority, most college refs will call the fall even with the blades nowhere near the mat. No whining about it, you shouldn't have let yourself get into that predicament
A few questions over the past few months have been answered on MM. Does he provide a tough practice partner for Carter? No. Can he make 165 or 157? Most definitely, just doesn’t matter.
Just got home (Butler County) at 3:05 am from the match. The wife awoke and asked what took so long and I pointed out three matches went into overtime.
Then I realized that this women raised two wrestler and attended hundreds upon hundreds of matches.
Then I told her I got thirsty while on campus. At the watering hole I had the privilege to meet some of the best posters on this forum. It was worth the late bedtime.
Great night of wrestling and meeting wrestling fans.
When I left the bar I had a better appreciation of ELO in rankings and somehow my new dog had a lawyer on retainer.
This forum has some good folks.
Night all!

One more thing, Cresson mountain must hate me. It trys to kill me everytime I pass through. Does it snow there in the summer?
I'm thankful to be alive crossing Cresson on too numerous occasions
Doesn't show enough offense. He's afraid to commit. He had chance to hit Sasso on single leg in 3rd but pulled back. It is typical of a kid wrestling up a weight that doesn't want to get under a kid by not able to finish his shot. His defense is fantastic and he's very smart on mat. Sometimes being smart hinders the ability to commit to scoring. He needs to be more like Nolf, who at times would just wrestle through a aggressive mistake he made.
It’s a different world up there. You can be ten minutes away and have no snow only to be in a whiteout before you know it.
Reminds me of when my ex used to dip into my wallet after I passed out after a night at The Mouse Trap. She would buy the girls lunch the next day. She fessed up and yes, I never caught on.
Yeah, he wanted the 1 for escape + 2 for takedown rather than the called reversal
Basically, it wouldn't be an official dual meet with the Buckeyes if Ryan didn't bitch about something
I didn’t even think about that, but you’re absolutely right! 😝. What a gaffe that would have been.
Really fun night—I think I may have turned my brother inlaw into a wrestling fan, at least a little. And it was great meeting some of you guys. It was especially soothing to hear @82bordeaux ’s wife call us wrestling nerds—something my own wife does with regularity.
You can't review the actual fall call, though.
"Art. 4. Description. Mat-side video review may be used to confirm or reverse any call or non-call made on the mat by the official, except a fall."
You can challenge if they were out of bounds/timing/etc, but not the actual "both shoulders on the mat" call.
Did you see Beau wave Cody off at the start of the third period? Cody signaled, what everyone in the BJC thought he should do, which was choose neutral. Beau "objected", Cody relented and left it to him...

Hey Pat, I watched the match. Micic better get a great draw at nationals if he is going to AA.
This (we sit right over the shoulder of the replay station).
Questioned it myself until I realized it was likely just a gas break as he still had his brick that he wasn't going to use at Hwt.
The difference between Sasso and BB is one wins close matches and the other loses close matches. I think Beau is very good , I just think he's up one weight which is preventing him from being comfortable in his offense.
I live 3 miles from the Summit Exit and close to the same elevation. As someone who lives on that armpit of the earth, I can tell you its not just you.
It snowed here in May not too long ago.
By the way, if anyone traveling along here ever needs help, hit me up on here. If i see it, ill do what i can to help. Bad shit happens on this hill. And not just in the winter.
A couple weeks ago I left my house in a whiteout with a couple inches down, a mile up the road it was barely snowing at all and the roads were bare.
I travel up and down there a few times a week. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle at times. Lol
All one really needs to read is Micic's weight at the Olympics, just 6 months ago.
Just others’ observations about his size and strength at 141 as compared to the weight he wrestled in the Olympics.
Being a weight up doesn't prevent you from attacking. It might not prevent from losses, but not the offense really. Case in point: Rivera vs Micic in 2019.
To get take downs you have to try to get take downs, until he starts doing that he will be limited.
Thank you GOD! Now we will have no holes at Nationals! That is the Tessio move! Tessio was always smarter!
