@nhs67Why the 'WTF' emoji on a post about a match you probably watched? Unless that was an emoji about the said match? In that case. Agreed...

I also agree.  It makes me mad.

[flyingcement]

I shut it off during 157 and am happily watching MNF with family at a bar

[nhs67]

I would like to be clear:  The Cornell wrestlers?  Top notch gents.

The coaching staff?  No sac.

I hope Knox de-commits after this embarrasment.

Bastida handling Fernandes...

[ionel]

The Yonger's gonna win a few matches this year and have fun doing so.  

[MPhillips]

Bastida picked up Fernandes and dropped him on his head. Didn't score but the intent was there.

[ionel]

For some reason I feel like smoking some duck for supper.

Even with the stupid winky face you reject the frivolity of the post? I'm gonna keep trying you irascible ol' ***duck**...

A+ for the use of irascible.

Yonger and Echemendia have both been very impressive today.

Nasir Bailey has also been excellent

That's true.  I would have mentioned Cardenas but I can't compliment Cornell with how I'm feeling right now lol

Crusty = good

Cantankerous = better

Irascible = best

Wait, what?  Foca wrestled?  Put his "seed" in danger?  Fake news.

40% of the starting lineup sat during the marquee match-up of the night (possibly the event) and this is your response?

Quoting Vito from Txitter:

Quote

We put our heart and soul into this sport. I would give anything to be able to wrestle every match that I can, sadly injuries come up and the unforeseen happen, knowing when you are hurt is not weak, it is smart, and we are not scared. This I promise

And Yianni, who has never made an excuse that I know of (after winning his fourth NCAA title, he criticized his own performance, you might recall):

Quote

Guys get hurt, I understand people were very upset about the match, and this might be hard to believe, but these guys all had injuries

Everyone is entitled to feel however they want, but I know that Mike Grey has the guys’ best interests & health in mind and there aren’t many people who know the full story

But you do you.

Just a, 'hard on' for me...

Makes little sense, since I'm a Cornell fan...

Here's Vito's response from Txitter:

 

Quoting Vito from Txitter:

 

Vito's explanation is plausible, considering it's been known that he sustained an injury earlier in the year. That leaves 3 wrestlers that sat out and that's the part that makes my head hurt. Maybe it is possible that all 3 of them got knicked up/exacerbated something between duals 2&3. Just seems like an unusual coincidence

The lack of transparency makes it tough to stomach as a fan.  Lots of timely coincidences in which we are expected to give the benefit of the doubt with zero information.  With all due respect ***duck** off

Did you watch the Cornell vs. Pitt match?  Did you watch Ramirez at 165?  Did you see him hurt his ankle towards the end?  What else didn't you see or don't you know?
