Can't disagree with Byers that maybe a loss wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world for Levi. I don't think he's injured or anything else, just think he's been a bit stiff this season and he needs to learn to let it fly again. Still, I'm thrilled for him that he dug deep and made it happen.

Palpatations just reading this.
 
Been very inconsistent. Some bad losses.
True, but Saldate has always been dangerous and was R12 last year.

Anybody who thinks this was a "bad win" for Levi isn't paying attention to the opponent. This was a willpower win, and nearly every national finalist has to win this kind of match at NCAAs.

Let me get this straight, Ref called Stalling on Haines when he was on top during the second set of wideouts (with 1 sec left)???????? Do I really have that correct????

I have been having the same thoughts this season. Just wondering if Levi isn't handling the pressure and expectations of #1 ranking well to date. Sometimes a loss or close win can be a good wake-up call.
 
Given that Sunday is my birthday, it’s the 21st. 😀
Happy birthday KC, you share the same birthday as my brother Craig, he hits 62 today.

I proud and impressed with you making it this far, I know some of the guys you hung with in College and still golf with or see from time and simply I'm impressed with all of you! With what you have shared with us on the board, I wish you the best I'm health going forward.
