I'm a PSU and DT fan, but Dake did what he needed to do to win once again. He came out strong in the 2nd period and just out muscled DT. It's hard to believe that he wrestled 141 as a freshmen. He is still clearly stronger than DT. I think Cox will be too strong for Dake, but Dake always seems to find a way to squeak one out.
Dake is very sneaky smart on the mat...Watch how he cries to the ref if he is behind....

Gotta agree, hard to say that DT was all that much more active than Dake throughout the 1st - in fact, he never really even tried to make a legitimate shot while on the shot clock. Dake came out to start the 2nd with some urgency and took control of the match by being more active. After that DT just did not wrestle with enough urgency imho.

Now Mat 3 is back

M Burak (2013 Penn Grad) vs J Bergman 97 KG 3rd Place Match

1-1 1:20 left in 2nd

Bergman goes on 30 sec clock
Burak spin around TD 3-1 40 sec
Bergman with late shot. Burke ties up.
Tears for Bergman?
Announcer says likely last time we see JD Bergman on a wrestling mat.
He was making one last push to make the Olympic Team.

Micah Burak wins 3rd place.
 
Dake does actively whine to the officials while competing.

Just out of curiosity. With all the collective tears shed on the HR report yesterday, I don't recall you feeling the need to comment. Why here, today?
I'm all over the boards today because I'm relaxing at home now. I usually don't post much when I attend the event. Lots of tears this weekend by fans of many. Only 1 guy at each weight leaves with a smile and tears of joy.
 
Who is A Hall?
What are his credentials?

Adam Hall is one of 4 wrestlers from NC.
Hall is one of two assistant coaches, with Obe Blanc.

Hall is in his second Olympic Trials, finishing 5th in 2012.

From Idaho, went to Boise State.
Redshirt Snr finished 5th at Nationals, 157.
2010 finished 3rd.

2 Time Pac Ten Champ.

Pac Ten Wrestling Scholar Athlete of the Year.
2010 All-Academic 1st team.

mat 2 will have Dennis /Ramos. might be fun to watch

IMHO, Dake beat Jden Cox 7-2. Transitive property - Cox barely Gavin. Taylor trashed Gavin. Dake squeaked past Taylor, therefore...

If only that one dude in qtrs could have held off Dake for 15 more seconds. Taylor would have beat Cox in the finals - i am certain of it

I thought the call on Garrett was the right one. To me, not a homer call, just a good call.

Nice to see someone knows the free style rules, I still hate dam cretia should make them wrestle till someone gets a point td or push out.

We'll agree to disagree on the call. Actually kinda like Ramos but he got 2 lack of aggression calls - I was highly surprised by 1 of them - seemed very crowd driven. Whatever

Should not need someone to beat Dake for him. Taylor wrestled Dake exactly like he always wrestles him, with a whole lot of (read too much) respect and IMO a bit of fear.
As soon as he loses to Dake he shreds both Herbert and Gavin.

Just seemed a bit disingenuous. I do not believe there were enough tissues in Iowa City to absorb all the freaking tears flowing on HR yesterday. Or CHA.

Not that I seriously considered it. After all the travel and time spent on wrestling through the month of March, if I had brought up another trip to Iowa for wrestling I would have been in the dog house at home and work. Anyhow one of these years I would like to attend the trails. How was it yesterday?
