I'll be the heavy, this year, @tikk10. Please don't clutter freestyle threads with complaints about freestyle, or gratuitious praise of folkstyle (btw, if we're here, we're probably folkstyle fans, right?)
We have an active thread dedicated to that discussion already.
Thanks.

Gross/Mendez was a fun one.
Gross went from being down 12-3 to a 13-12 victory.

yes, but if you are drunk and need help, REALTOR Kim Schilling will help you find your way home
Maybe that loss by BB to parker wasn't that bad! Parker beats McKenna 8-5. Mckenna gassed!! big time
Nick gave up a TD on a high double leg, down 2-0
Nick gets a TD on a nice duck under, 2-2
He tried to lock up a trap arm and gut but couldn't. Switched to the legs and gets a leg lace. 5 turns later, match is over and Lee wins 12-2.

Nope. Chance out wrestled him. Had a savvy arm throw to open up the scoring, earned the passivity he gave up, and even though he clawed back, Carter took his foot off the gas too early, allowing the late winner.So - No world championship for Starocci this year?

Carter let his foot off the gas, but I also hate FS sometimes. After the arm throw, Chance did zero (until he had to). He never even got put on the shot clock. Carter got put on bc reasons.
I fully supported Carter getting put on the clock early, Chance was forcing all the action and holding center. And I think Chance was close to getting put on the clock in the second, but he did enough to avoid it. I have no problem with the way that was called.
Trumble with the pin while leading 3-0. Downey wanted to throw the brick after the pin Natty Light.....meets rule book

BB just teched Kolodzik and basically manhandled him.
I've seen all that I've need to see at this point. 149 was literally just a mental block for Beau.
Why a mental block? It was more a physical block. Saying it was a mental block you are implying that it was all mental issues that kept him from performing better than he did. It was the physical limitations of wrestling up a weight that seemed to be the issue.
I see your valid point.
My thought is that our guy BB didn't want to shoot against 49lbers knowing the result would be a drawn out battle.
He looked quick and free in the first match today.
It was physical obviously but that changed his style completely, which is mental. Watching Beau at 143, he loves firing shots. He never wanted to at 149. He was worried he would get caught unless it was absolutely perfect between his length and size issues. He doesn't have those worries at 143 and won't at 141 next year.
Upset of the year -- PD3 showed up.
Also: this should end PD3 bragging about pinning an unconscious Q.
Takedown to lace and Maple is up 6-0. Beau stops the gut then it's been a whole lot of nothing on the feet.
Beau is aggressive 2nd half and gets a pushout but then gives on up on the step out when Maple went upper body. Gets a takedown and roll and a failed challenge. 7-6 Maple

Beau giving Maple a real match. Wow.
Loses 8-6, but, yes, a very different wrestler at 143.

Saw some of the hesitation we saw from Bartlett at 149 last year against Maple which makes sense. Maple literally looked like he could be his big brother between his length and size (and it's been a few hours off the scale so he is probably significantly bigger now)
Despite that, I liked what I saw from Beau overall. He was shooting and had good instincts in all positions.

Yeah, I’m pretty happy with what Beau did this weekend.
He was a very much improved wrestler over what we saw at 149, against better competition.

Obviously free is a different animal as well but as it's been discussed, 141 is pretty open next year. No reason he can't be in the mix.
