Rutgers dual thread - Jan 24

Other than Barr, Mm and Carter… lethargic meet. Wonder if flu is a factor.

My son’s HS team is down 5 starters tomorrow due to the flu
No. The energy seemed to be dulled throughout. It does seem like an excuse thing, but it is what it is. This was obviously the beat down week.

Oh, I’m going to enjoy the karma

That turd tweets it during the dual
 
Josh Barr gets the outstanding wrestler award.

Byers interviewed Kasak after the match. Kasak said he's been training with Casey. He said Casey has been teaching him the finer details, like where to put his toe or thumb during a move to gain an advantage. He said he's excited for & has been looking forward to the match with Teemer next week.

Soooo…who else is excited for Barr vs Buchanan?
Buchanan is really good. Barr hasn’t felt anyone that good yet. Well, other than Carter. Oh, and probably Max Dean. . . and I’m sure Nickal has gone with him. And that Cael guy too—I guess he’s alright. Oh, and who was that fellah on the podium in Paris? But other than that, Josh is in for a big step up in competition.

Great night! Just got home. Had seats 3 rows behind scorer table right next to RU bench.

Takeaways..Rizzler a big hit (I never heard of him before tonight)

No injuries so my curse is broken.

Just read thru comments. Everyone kind of spot on..only headscratcher to me was Kerks match. Neither guy did nothing, very strange match from him.

If you can see the look on Poz face after that match as he headed toward tunnel..as other have said, Barr absolutely broke him.

Peterson smiling ear to ear the whole match. At least one RU guy went home happy. Only RU guy that impressed me tonight was Turley. I would have bet anything on bonus points there.

Great crowd, RU fans electric after Peterson win, got quiet after Shawver and rest of night.

Rutgers came to wrestle. They clearly want to prove they can compete with the best. Ours guys showed some guts and fought through some tough positions. Good calibration meet.
