Still can't get over how good Yianni looked today. What a freak.
I think Zain's head/hands may stem the tide some. He's going to have to wrestle extremely smart though.

Whether you agree with all the rules or not, I have come to really enjoy Freestyle. I think Smalls tweeted something similar earlier, but dream matches people would be hyped about in NCAA are happening every big tournament in Freestyle. Maybe not a "dream match up" but I never would have thought I would see NCAA 141 Kevin Jack wrestling NCAA 157 Jason Nolf
The draft isn’t technically a live sporting event, so this gets a pass in my book.
Yeah, we're worried about scoring last CRITERIA (meaning both guys could've just won outright and solved it themselves) but we're going to defend a style in which wizzering and pulling out of bounds in a single or running/pulling someone out in rear-standing are rewarded with restarts? Stop.
Freestyle and Greco action and reward for action far supercedes folkstyle's reward system for inaction and fleeing.

For starters, I'd think twice about any single leg. But yeah . . .
I mean, what the actual F?

Brooks with a 30 second tech--TD, 3 laces, and a TD. 10-0
Seth Nevills with the tech...he looks to be physically maturing quite a bit too - MONSTER!
I know that everyone shits on Greco because it's fashionable nowadays, especially in the USA, but these finals have been great.
I met RaVaughn Perkins's family at Fargo one year. I'm pretty sure I've already spun that yarn on here, but RaVaughn is one of my favorites. Anyone who talks smack about an official in the post-finals interview is a real one in my book.
Frank had a really nice win against McKenna on the back side, FYI. Brutal head pinch.
Has Futrell next, then Eireman, then presumably JO.

who were these guys calling the greco finals? they suck for a sport and should try to calling a game. them silly suckers irck me.
Holy hell that was awful officiating in favor of both wrestlers. Did NOT do those two guys justice. Damn.
Hahahahaha!!!!! Earlier there was a running joke on here about Bo’s matches and not blinking or you’ll miss it. So apparently FLO “blinked” during his match vs. Rhoads...I just went to watch the replay and all it was, was an 18 second clip of Bo shaking everyone’s hand at the end of the match - HA!!!
Joe Lee's next match will be a tough one against Jaden Mattox, a former Ohio State Champion and a RSFR for OSU.
Flo, lemme come commentate Greco. I'll even promise not to cuss.
EDIT: I didn't really think the commentary was bad. I'm just a shameless self-promoter.

I re-watched the Green 4 point takedown on Nolf multiple times. I don't see the exposure. It's a 2 not a 4.
He continues to exposure, all one motion. A Freestyle savvy thing.
I know Fishbreath will argue this if he ever comes back, but Zain racked up some points on JO too, would have won had he not got chucked for 6.
This does not mean he will ba able to score on Yianni tho, Yianni is not gonna gas like JO did against Zain, but on the other hand, I dont see Yadi throwing Zain either. Should be a close match, but Im reluctantly pickin Yianni.
Looking for another great day! JO and Frank look small - times are changing or 65 is hard to make. Disappointed in Nolf's match. I wish there would have been more time but a good learning moment... he better be at world trials!!
My country right or wrong...
Thankfully, in this case, my country is right
ok kiddo. let me dumb it down for you without the rest of the worlds rules you would not be watching wrestling this weekend....that's if you even watching itMy country right or wrong...
Thankfully, in this case, my country is right
Time to ignore some of the other dumb threads that popped up over night and get back on track with the good stuff coming in about 40 mins...
Teske up on 6
RBY on deck on 9

FYI.
Nolf waits a round, and will face winner of Chamberlain vs Sorenson.
If (when) Nolf wins that match, he will wrestle for 3rd.

Frank the Tank update:
After losing to Yanni yesterday, Tank beat McKenna 6-3.
Tank next faces Futrell.
Win that, and Tank faces Eiermann.
The winner of that match most likely faces JOliver for 3rd.

Anyone recall whether the order is that random every year? I like the idea of mixing it up, or giving us the main event last, but it feels like they literally ordered the entire card according to ascending popularity.
Teske with the 17-9 won and on to the quarters...looked good and manhandled the kid in tie ups.
RBY rag dolls Valdivez on his way to a quick 10-0 tech
The people on here who questioned if Teske was even the best 125 on the roster this past season are gonna feel like absolute fools when they see Teske wrestle in college.
Valdivez felt fine before RBY got ahold of him. After RBY took him on a Tilt-a-whirl ride, not so much. RBY has just ragdolled his last two guys, and I'm not using that term lightly.
