Thanks - heard it from Hawkeye radio on YT seconds after I asked.

Shocked Davino wasn’t called for stalling. Don’t recall him taking a shot.

He had a stalling call on him

[Rassling]

Got to give it up to the forum for connectivity free of any issues. Alot of activity over the last 3 days but things went smoothly and the system handled it.

[Caveira]

Did I google this right.  The only loss for Davino in hs was McGowan?

[Grecojones]

Amazing. Also stanford coming in 6th they should push for a trophy next year!

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

JB with the no tie bare chested look is weird

Jax just running the clock out

I love this.  Absolutely love it.  

I desperately wish i was in the PSU fan's position of celebrating a title.  But the 2nd best outcome is watching bitter PSU fans unravel and watch matches hunting for tiny openings to insult Jax Forest.  

Great match from Jax.  Absolutely controlled every second from every position.  It's so impressive to see him win at that style.  Like he said after, he likes being crazy, but he's also better at control than anyone else.  He can dominate an opponent however they want to be dominated.

I had Davino losing by more than that. Great job by him all tournament. 

Jax is a phenomenal, once in a generation type talent. Props to him. Excited to see what he can do. Like Ben Askren said, he's either going to be one of the best over, or a hot mess with how he throws everything at his opponents. I think we can see which. of the two he is...

[Powershouse]

The ESPN and the Matcast coverage was pretty darn awesome. I could do with a little less Rock Harrison and I don’t need to hear about the Resilite, but wow being able to follow all of the matches on all of the mats is incredible.

What'd you think of the constantly changing angles during the finals? Threw me off a bit, I personally prefer the MATCAST view. Besides that, good primetime coverage (minus commercials).

How do you coach someone to wrestle against Jax?

Wow Oklahoma State wasn't that far behind Penn State and 130 points would normally be in contention to win a tournament prior to Penn State super teams of the last six seven years if  facundo would have Placed top 3 and if swidurski beat Van Ness we might have seen a neck and neck team Race.. needless to say Oklahoma state is here to stay and will be on Penn State's heels or eventually pass them up in the next few years

Mannnnn, I don't even know. I think Davino had the right approach - under zero circumstances, don't get in a scramble situation with him unless you absolutely have to score. He had to score, and Jax capitalized. And to be honest, I think once he gets a feel for you, the gap is going to get bigger. Look at the earlier match with Seidel and now. I could be wrong and he was just on a heater this weekend, but we'll see.

Oklahoma State will be a real possibility to steal top recruits from PSU. That alone could lower PSU point total. Very interested to see what the scores look like in 5 years

Rock is fine when there is no JB.  Once JB joins on day 2 Rock becomes totally unnecessary and it feels like he doesn't know what to do and every time he does get a word in he won't stop talking.
