Great win for Parris, destroying worlds all season long. Hand the man the Hodge.

I'm on board. He's been superb.

Either toe stub or Marley and Me.

The 285 match might have unfolded differently if Kerkviliet had gotten that first takedown instead of being taken down.

Yea, I know, what ifs ... or "counterfactuals" as they are technically called.

What if a bullfrog had wings ... he wouldn't hit his butt on the ground when he lands

I have never met a casual college wrestling fan. But, of course, they may exist.

Awkward moment right after the Lee-Ramos match last night: a staffer in the backstage area asks Matt Ramos who he is and what he wants for his walk out music for the finals. Dude just had the pin of the tournament year. She finally says, "you can text it to this number later if you want"

Agreed. And there was even an early pin.  No overtimes either.

Not sure what speeds it up though?

If my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle.

Weird that they didn't contest 125 this year, but whatever, I'm no expert. 

[SocraTease]

Who you got at 125?  The wild upstart from Purdue or the Prince(ton) going for Glory yet denied his vision quest?

Yeah. TV dictates the timing,the NCAA says,"okay."

[pawrestler]

Let’s go glory 

[pawrestler]

Interesting scramble here

[CHROMEBIRD]

Glory's been in on his opponents legs in the first 10 seconds of all his matches this tournament

 

I think

If that was third period Ramos would be called for stalling.

[pawrestler]

Glory has got to not get discouraged and keep going after it

[Sublime607]

Ramos starting to remind me of Jessie Delgado with the scrambling 

[D3UC157]

Ramos is begging Glory to shoot

[pawrestler]

I’m getting nervous with Ramos’ defense

[CHROMEBIRD]

Waiting for Glory to get tossed

[Dark Energy]

Second stall call coming …..

Blame ESPN for wanting to take like 10 minutes between matches. Gotta try to recoup all that $$ they are losing by not being able to show MBB or WBB tournament games. 

I like what I State (and many like ours) did---moved all the awards to the end of the contest,  and do it all at once.  Makes the matches move at a much better pace.
