Southern Scuffle Quarters Thread

Cassar vs. Loiseau (Drexel)

Per 1
Not much thru 1st min. Ends

Per 2
Cassar takes bottom. Loiseau with a nice ride. He gets high and Cassar tries to sneak out the back. Stalemate with under 1 min. Cassar gets a reversal after the restart, 2-0. End. 51 sec of RT for Loiseau

Per 3
Loiseau takes bottom. Cassar riding on the right side, and doing well. Goes to left side. Tries a 2-on-1, loses it, and Loiseau gets out, 2-1. Then Cassar with a double leg for a TD, 4-1, with under 1 min left. Nice ride by Cassar. OOB at 36 sec. RT will not be a factor. Loiseau to his feet, Cassar maintains control, and rides out.

Final, 4-1, as only 56 sec of RT for Cassar


Rasheed pins Boykin in 27 sec!

Nevills has become the world's most boring wrestler.

 

[LemonPie]

Nick used to put up a dozen like it was nothing

 

[Afw6006]

Nevills loses 4-3 on after giving up a late TD. No offense from Nevills in the match.

 

[mcruny42]

No offense from NN

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Damn, Nevills loses 3-4 to Boykin (NC State)

 

[Chickenman Testa]

That’s a killer for seeding. Say hello to Kyle Snyder

 

[El-Jefe]

Well, that sucks. Hopefully it makes Nick reconsider the Tony Nelson Strategy he's been employing all year.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Well, that sucked

 

[LemonPie]

Please get back down to 250

 

[Law-Deezie]

No offense from NN

That’s an understatement...been that way the whole tourney!

 

[pish69]

Could be the wake up call he needed. Been wrestling with no urgency on offense. Trying to win with rideouts not gonna get it done. He better than that

 

[Brian LB-U]

Was Verk's guy, Prince not ranked?

Prince is the 3 seed if that is what you mean.

 

[tgar]

Please get back down to 250

He should have been riding a mountain bike and running trails all off season. Round.

 

[mcruny42]

Prince is the 3 seed if that is what you mean.

I did a quick look at Flo's 149 rankings and did not see him.

 

[sneedram55]

That was a bummer of a match by Nick.

Does anybody happen to know the schedule for tomorrow?

 

[mcruny42]

Consis start at 10 and Semi's at 12 i believe

 

[matter7172]

Prince is the 3 seed if that is what you mean.

Prince is no joke. He looked really good as a redshirting freshman at the last NLO.

 

[dunkej01]

did Cassar choose bottom? he might lose 1-0

 

[tikk10]

I'm not the first to point this out but Nick was more effective when he was 10-15 lbs lighter. The extra weight helps him ride guys out but edging guys out on a riding time point isn't a recipe for long-term success.

 

[El-Jefe]

Was Verk's guy, Prince not ranked?

Prince was ranked at 141, moved up to 149 for this event.

He's had some significant wins in the past -- including beating Meredith -- so Verk's showing was pretty good for a true freshman in his first major competition.

Not to be mean-spirited, but I've thought the same thing this season. It's clear that Nick's stronger and that's a good thing, but he needs to lose a few pounds and get the quickness back if he's going to be a strong candidate to finish #2 or #3 this year.

Ok makes sense, the name sounded familiar and I thought I remembered he was pretty tough. I took a quick look at the rankings but didn't see him so thought maybe I was confused.

Because, more often that not, it results in one point.

Nolf with FS practice

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Please get back down to 250

This. Always thought Nevills was better as a lighter, more nimble guy than as a lumbering, dancing bear type. Don't think the extra 15 plus pounds has done any favors.

 

[Law-Deezie]

Nolf with FS practice

Did Nolf throw that with bad intentions or what?

 

[LemonPie]

Geez shak. This man had a family.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

10 am EST is when consolations start on Day 2.

Byers radio coverage will start at 9:40 am EST

 

[Ja1339]

Ha! I do want to go there but am not sure it'll be this trip.

We have 2 major constraints: can't do Thanksgiving, and my wife will likely only have 5 vacation days available, maybe 6.

Fall ideas so far are Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece, somewhere else in Europe (Budapest?), Alaska, maybe Morocco or Georgia (central Asia) -- though I'm still gathering ideas.

The rest of Asia is unlikely, esp. if I go there this spring. Australia/NZ will take too much time. And South America (other than maybe Colombia) is unlikely for other reasons -- namely i would want to see a friend in Paraguay, but wouldn't be able to squeeze in both with time constraints.

Assume B10s and Nationals are two other constraints

 

[Dogwelder]

Someone please tell Byers to lay off the "f@@tastic five" crap. It's beyond awful; just incredibly lame.

They weren’t just Tastic Five today—they were FUNtastic Five!!!!

 

[LemonPie]

Nothing fancy, just another pin

 

[oldcougar65]

I think Michael Boykin has put on weight too. His legs are much bigger. And he's wrestling with intent rather than hanging on. I think he had strength on Nevils, and I've been watching him for years, and he has the speed if he feels the motivation.

My wedding anniversary is during nationals. Someday maybe ... preferably when our anniversary isn't on the weekend. Not this year though.

Yes, oldcougar, you and I were probably not too broken up by that result. Great kid, great story for a kid who has gotten an opportunity to get a degree when that was pretty unthinkable when they first got him involved in the sport in 7th grade. Very, very nice kid, my son wrestled him more than a few times what seems like an eon ago.

Please don't repeat the lameness, I beg you.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Geez shak. This man had a family.

Hard to believe this Rasheed was sucking down to 165 lb a couple years ago. No wonder he had gas tank issues at that weight.

 

[WildTurk]

Please don't repeat the lameness, I beg you.

Please keep it going! Warms my heart..
