NCAA Session 6 Thread

[fen103]

Some trivia about Ringer. The only two wrestlers to beat Ringer in his career were Derek St. John and James Vollrath.

 

[El-Jefe]

I agree. But when he doesn't dominate the opponent he needs to adjust. He plays catch and release with lesser opponents and gets major decisions because of it but you need to be able to do both. It is just stupid to play that game with a guy like IMar.

Cutting Martinez at the start of the 2nd did not cost Nolf at all. Not holding him for 2 more seconds at the end of the first ...

 

[fen103]

I hate to say this but it's between Ringer and Gwiz for OW.

If Gwiz beats Snyder he deserves OW. If Gwiz loses Zain will get OW, but Ringer will get Hodge.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

That was a dirty takedown to win

??? I-Mar's better ability to execute the perfectly "clean" TD was the difference - I didn't see anything dirty about the TD. I-Mar deserved the W in that one - J-No was so close on the throw taking I-Mar directly to his back, but he just couldn't hang on.

 

[86Engineer]

College wrestling needs more guys like Imar..... Great wrestler and seems like a class act.

Disagree on the class act part

Baloney. Ringer did the minimum and beat a heavy underdog 6-2. Nolf pinned everyone and then won 10-1.

 

[JDale83]

Let's go BO!!!

3 time champion. Not many of those.

That's fair.

Dirty as in ridiculously amazing, good, sweet.

I think some confuse these as the same when they are different and given for different reasons.

Zain by himself is in 17th place in the team race.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

The skater haircut looks better on Bo. Go away Dake.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Again, Bo with a throw attempt that goes wrong, and is down 1-2 early.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Bo looks like he's gassing...he's in trouble.

I was talking more specifically about the big ten final. Here he may have taken some steam out of Martinez.

 

[Law-Deezie]

Even with Zain pinning, teching or majoring every opponent? Every NCAA bout was a bonus point win. Ahh, that's a tuff one!

 

[mcruny42]

Bo is 100x the better wrestler

 

[LemonPie]

Bo may have been sick this tournament. I really don't know. Franklin lunatic jinxed this. Wow

 

[fen103]

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Win knocks Iowa off the podium.

 

[T J]

Dang - Going for the big throw and takes himself out.

 

[pish69]

Damn. That put a damper on the evening

 

[jrd23psu]

That one hurts. Bo lets it all hang out every match. He got caught in that one. It sucks. Martin is good, no doubt.

 

[4INSBU]

Bo is sometime his own worst enemy.

 

[theXbomber]

Bo may have been sick this tournament. I really don't know. Franklin lunatic jinxed this. Wow

Yep. Franklin's fault. Good call

 

[Law-Deezie]

Nickal is the river boat gambler and of all times it cost him tonight...BTW, M. Martin is a good kid. His dad is who he is but he's a good kid. Nice post match interview...

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Damn, damn, damn.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Bo tried the inside trip in the 1st period, and once again lost the leg and got taken to his back.

In the 2nd period, Bo nearly had it, but got out-hipped and thrown to his back.

Hats off to Myles Martin. He out executed, especially in that he took advantage of what was presented to him. Believe the final was 11-9

 

[21Guns]

Just too many mistakes.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Bo is 100x the better wrestler

Not tonight unfortunately.

 

[ggcpsu]

Bo is too good getting to legs to try stuff like that all the time. If it's there fine but Martin was never going to get to Bo's legs.

 

[JDale83]

Huge disappointment. He is so much better than Martin and he got sloppy when it mattered. Really a tough loss. Hard to swallow.

 

[Grass]

I guess I was right when I said I was worried about the Martin match.

 

[fen103]

At least it knocks Iowa off the podium.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Again, Bo with a throw attempt that goes wrong, and is down 1-2 early.

Then gave up a 6 point move on the edge on another failed throw - he had Martin on the throw, but as they went toward the mat, he slipped off Bo's hip and gained the leverage as they went to the mat. Gave up 8 points on blown throws.

 

[psuflyguy]

Live by the funk, die by the funk. Also didn't use his time well in the third period.

 

[dunkej01]

Props to Martin.

He earned it.

 

[Blackcat97]

Got caught big. His style lends itself to that, but also what makes him so good. Congrats Martin, Bo will be back

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Nickal and Nolf will be 3 time champions. Awesome freshman year!

 

[pish69]

The silver lining in all of this is Nolf and Nickal will be hungry animals next year

 

[RandyL]

I wont be surprised if they don't meet again.

 

[21Guns]

Learning experience: He'll be here again, and he'll learn from it: See, Megaludis, Nico...
