[wrestle87]

Swiderski and chittum are tough, it would be really great if they were able to actually score points though.

Can anyone who is there confirm that??

I am willing to confirm that he looked at his hand before riding his opponent for a while.

No. For funsies I got really drunk this weekend and drew my bracket with everything possible going bad for Penn state, and I mean everything. I went ridiculously optimistic with my Hawkeyes and I still came up with PSU 119 Iowa 109

My brackets were ridiculous 

Hey we’re far from over - anything can still happen !

[JuanMogen]

Did Chittum and Kasak warm up together?

Davis hurt his hand? It looked like he was reacting to a scratch or something….. being serious too

He wasn't even moving the hand by the end of the match

[RandolphTJones]

Chittum in Chtrouble

[JuanMogen]

That's Braeden Davis's coloring hand too.

[Doublehalf]

Chittum was getting a ton of love in all the media run up to the tournament and I hadn't seen much of him this year and I'm a little disappointed 

[wrestle87]

It's always wild to see, not all the guys bring their toolboxes with them to nationals

Dids Shanes Sparkss just say "Ed Scotts" twice?

Put it in the sparks-isms thread!

[JuanMogen]

Forget about how badly Chittum is doing, who the hell is this Askey kid? He's a problem.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Everytime I look over at Franke v Blaze, blaze is hugging the edge

I never have a good feeling about guys who get super fired up or majorly emotionally invested in their conference tournament.  Those guys rarely have the same level of showing at Nationals.

[Doublehalf]

If Askey went to penn state would he be a top 4 seed?

 

I joke...kind of

It’s such a mental sport which is why is so difficult to predict sometimes. In a nut shell it’s who shows up mentally vs who doesn’t Imho

Got ground up with the beans in the coffee grinder.

Lillard on the mat, will forever be one of my "fan favorite" wrestlers.

I'm going to look stupid when Blaze beats Franek, lol. 

An overzealous ride might save you

Shout out to Cornell for the job they’ve done with Ethan Fernandez, he was a 2x NJ 4th place finisher at 120, never a title contender for a small public high school and a 9 seed at ncaas picking up a rd 1 win 

[Mr. PeanutButter]

That was nerve racking by Franek. 

Whats concerning is he was in on a shot almost everytime I peeked over but couldn't finish.

[wrestle87]

Just saw the tape on franek's leg, hamstrings second only to shoulders in terms of crucial bodyparts when wrestling.

[Greenwave]

How he does not get hit for stalling every match just is not correct. 

[lightweight]

149 Pitt's Finn Solomon, the 31 seed, takes 2 seed Parco to the edge, losing 4-5.  Parco was hit three times for stalling in the third period, including one at :01 left.  Didn't see the video but he must have been pedaling his bicycle the whole period.

I guess it helped working out with Vito, Yianni, and Meyer!
