No - that’s music. It’s from the 70s.

Fish beat Facundo 6-5 at the Scuffle last year. Wondering if Alex carries that knowledge with him into today’s match.

Will be flirting with major this time. Say 10-4.

good buddy.

In my day “fish” was used as a derogatory term for a wrestler.

All can't be named "Mauller".

Ah, well.

 

[mcpat]

Reminds me of a Berge match (Facundo)

 

[palmettolion]

Caleb Fish is the Taylor Lewan of Michigan State.

 

[El-Jefe]

All can't be named "Mauller".

Or "Downey" or "Ferrari."

OT TD off his own shot wins it 3-1 for Facundo. Good weekend.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Got in deep the first committed shot he took and finished the next one. Just needs to trust his stuff.

Yes - it implies the spend a lot of time flattened out on the mat flopping around on their back or stomach like a fish does when thrown out of the water onto land.

 

[Ja1339]

What a weekend for Facundo! Attaboy Alex!

Disappointed we didn’t see Haines. I sure hope he goes next Friday. I thought Facundo would handle Fish a little easier, but it will come.

 

[mcpat]

Going back to 125… really happy for Steen. I was starting to wonder if he was losing confidence. A couple recent matches weren’t what we had seen earlier this year. Today was a really nice dub and he was the aggressor throughout the match. Completely earned the win today.

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Or "Downey" or "Ferrari."

I think Ferrari's working on a new name: "Inmate".

 

[palmettolion]

I thought for sure CStar was going to force that guy to stall out of the match, had 3 by the end of the second. Just a brutal pace.

It was a sweet duck under. Wish he used it earlier in the match.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Well, this should give us an answer to that post about Ball being a potential AA elsewhere. Probably the best kid he’ll see this year.

 

[mcpat]

He had done one earlier but they went OOB (or at least the ref said they did despite Facundo having two wrestling shoes inside the circle).

 

[AndEEss]

I don’t think Fish was working forward enough for it to work.

 

[eddy line]

Michigan kid is a tall drink of water. Built like Evan Wick. 0-0 after one.

If he had gone to a different program he woukd have developed to a different level.
I like the kid. He wrestles hard and gives everything he has, plus never stops in the room. However our fans always think our backups are much better than reality dictates.

I don’t know. He’d have more mat time but he wouldn’t be working with Starocci, Brooks and Dean every day. I like Donovan a lot and he could start a lot of places. But the AA comment just made me chuckle.

The usual reminder: it's one thing to beat an AA in a dual. Or even multiple AAs in duals. It's another to beat several good opponents in one weekend at the country's biggest ass-kicking contest.

 

[eddy line]

Dean vs. Gumby. 0-0 after one.

 

[mcpat]

Nice to see the clock on the stream so well aligned with reality.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Caffeys gonna gas.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Hate that first stalemate call. I get that they hadn’t moved for a bit but just let them work through the position.

 

[jschrantz]

Lol, I was the one person here that said it, I was being silly , I love the run comments on here get sometimes

 

[johnstownsteel]

Lol. Yeah not even close.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

What was the Ball final?

 

[AndEEss]

Caffeys gonna gas.

He looked rough two minutes in.

 

[mcpat]

If they awarded 1/10th of a point for each shot, Dean would have won by TF by now.

 

[Grass]

What was the Ball final?

6-0 I think.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

All in good fun my man. I have certainly been hammered for my share of takes. The joys of a message board

 

[mcpat]

4-0 Dean over Caffey.
