Shitty call by the ref

Time to get angry, Mikey.

How is the team scoring?   Does PSU have a chance?

@Husker_Du tweeted earlier that there were two District XI boys in the Big Ten finals.  That is true and awesome and we are proud.  But also of note from DXI: 

Jonah Neisembaum (Salisbury High) wins ACC at HWT

Brett Ungar (Notre Dame Green Pond) silver medalist for EIWA at 125

Get excited for Ryan Crookham next year

[flyingcement]

Disappointing for me, but good match

I think Starr hit that next level. Hard to see him losing moving forward 

[CHROMEBIRD]

I thought Labs would keep it much closer but it feels like the ref stole the major from Starocci.

[pawrestler]

Man I wish Starocci would open up more. He could do so much more in most matches

[flyingcement]

After we heard him talking shit in previous interviews, this was some humility from Starocci and something I can relate to in a different way.  Talking about how "this is easy for me compared to anything else I have to deal with" can resonate with anyone who escapes into their job to avoid focusing on struggles of other parts of their life

Not unless he faces a motivated Donnell Washington in round one :)

Agreed. This is the 1st interview Ive heard from him where he didn't come off as a tool

[CHROMEBIRD]

I will admit Starocci surprised me by not going on about how great he is

[Le duke]

Starocci looking really sharp.

Penn State locked up the B1G with that, I believe.

I may be misremembering, but didn’t Ungar live in Nj and commute?

It was locked up before that match

[PortaJohn]

I hope AB opens up and doesn't wrestle conservative 

[swoopdown]

Star maybe outgrowing false bravado and replacing it with mature confidence?

There are portions of New Jersey which are part of the same youth wrestling league including, most prominently Phillipsburg and Reigel Ridge.  So while they do end up wrestling high school in different states, we all grew up together

Shitty call by the ref

This action vs stalling call out of bounds is so wack or at least the inconsistency with which refs call it. Labriola kicks out of a single from the middle of the mat, squares up and desperately tries to circle inside and gets called for stalling. Then, Starocci clearly battles Labriola all the way to the edge of the mat, shoots him directly out, and it’s not stalling? So strange.

[CHROMEBIRD]

I guess Sunday is a day of rest for Minny. Have they won any matches yet today? They were looking good for most of day 1.

[flyingcement]

Brooks is so sound.  Romero is excellent, and I give him less than 5% chance here

Flyingcement is right. New Jersey is PA and NY's awkward sibling but family nonetheless

Really? I thought it kind of confirmed what I have long suspected Penn State bordering Cult territory

[flyingcement]

announcer wrongfully claiming that Coleman pinned Brooks before correcting himself (probably after a sharp elbow from Sparks)
