Big Elam is a round of 12 guy at best. Just hasn't been able to improve much from year to year. 

That’s exactly where he finished last year, was hoping he made the jump to AA this year. I’m holding out hope.

Nate Carr is the worst color commentator in wrestling.   I thought it was reserved for Ironside but Carr is much worse.   He doesn't add commentary just screams at the wrestlers and Ref.

Hey you leave Ironside out of this

Fuessley ISU Surtin Mizz

Surtin close on two attempts, Fuessly on one in first 90 but all end up OB. Surtin body lock and slams Fuessly to his back for 2 and 4, 4 more near fall 10-0. That got hot fast.

Fuessly quad pods and gets the arms too close to the legs. Surtin wraps up the cradle and gets the pinfall at 2:53.

R12 his freshman year, too. And was 2-2 in 2021. I'd love to be more hopeful but I'll just plan on being surprised if he does better than that.

Nice. That was definitely Mizzou’s best chance for bonus and they took advantage. The second half of this dual looks to be pretty evenly matched. 

[Hammerlock3]

btw for the record I think o'toole is gonna beat carr by 4

[MPhillips]

Why is it IAS instead of ISU?  First world problems. I hear ya...

Brown starts 2 on top. Erased RT and Redding is out. 3-1. Minute left. Redding in deep, gets the TD 5-1. Refs stop the action to go to the monitor. Redding left his feet on cut back 5-2. Brown with late escape. Period ends 5-3.

Redding gets o9ut of position. Brown reverses him 5-5. Redding still with RT. Redding now looking for reversal. And gets it 7-5. Brown reverses him with 8 secs. Looking for back points with a figure four on the leg, but illegal hold makes it 8-7 with 2 secs left. Final is 9-7.

All action in that match.

Swiderski ISU Hart Mizz

Hart looking like he is borrowing Bo Nickal's noodle arms. And he uses them like Nickal to get a leg elevated and finishes for 2. Tring for back points but only two swipes. Has Swiderski stretched out and flat. Swiderski not doing a thing on bottom. Stalemate called as Hart reaches for the bow and arrow. Come on. I want that b&a. Stall on Swiderski. Hart gets a loose cradle and can't hold it. Ends 2-0 with 2:34 of RT.

Start neutral in second. Swiderski pressuring gets an ankle pick but can't finish and they scramble. Stopped for blood. Both guys looking to wrestle from distance. Swiderski on the ankle leg elevated, can't get around behind, and period ends. 2-0.

Swiderski lets Hart up 3-0 to start third.  Hart in deep on a single elevates, Swiderski hopping, and Hart with the TD. 5-0. Rides out the third, gets a stall 7-0. Cuts him too late to get the major.  7-1 final.

Hopefully Hart will wrestle better than he has the last couple of weeks.

[uncle bernard]

you can see the seeds of future success in swiderski's wrestling, but he really needed a redshirt.

Him beating up an undersized Mendez last year seemed to make people think he was more ready than he really was.

Brian Smith is the old man in a sweater vest in his living room on Sunday watching the Giants game. He'll have a bowl of soup after the game.

Johnson ISU Mauler Mizz

Hand fighting and jockeying for ties so far. Paniro shoots at 1:30 but Mauller showing some good D. Nothing.  Johnson in again on a leg, but gives it up alomst immediately. Period ends 2-0 with two committed-ish shots.

Mauller on top to start 2nd. Johnson out after 36 seconds. Mauller takes a shot a second too late. Gets the TD just after the buzzer. 1-0 Johnson.

Mauller out quick 1-1.  Mauller tries a slide by, but Johnson too quick. 50 secs left. Johnson tries a duck, but Mauller too quick, 25 secs left. To OT.

Johnson shoots immediately, but Mauller barely avoids TD. Blood time 1:45 left. Refs reviewing but there was no TD. Come on, if you haven't seen a TD by now, you aren't going to. I had time for a snack break. Wife made heart shaped magic cookie bars for Valentine's s Day. She loves me. And no TD. Told ya so.

Big scramble, no TD. Johnson was soooo close again. 1;11 left more blood.

Hopefully he's back on track. He's a guy who should be on the podium this year.

Agreed. He's a kid I've always pulled for.

[MizzouFan01]

What’s up on the Mauller match?

[Hammerlock3]

johnson due to his style and body language has very underrated toughness and shape

[Hammerlock3]

bad timing for that post....

[uncle bernard]

oh my goodness

to quote my high school coach: "never step over a whizzer"

[VakAttack]

Man that was brutal, Mauller did nothing while Johnson worked his ass off.
