DeAugustino brought the warrior beard today.... at what point is that a hazard? 

If it catches fire?

[RandolphTJones]

Didn't think Lewis would school Cael Valencia like that

[Doublehalf]

Mekhi v Starocci is going to be really interesting 

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Starocci looked gassed.  And he gave up the first TD of the year...looks like sitting out Big 10s was the right call.

I'll say.  28 seed Simma beats 5 seed Harvard's Conig  7-0.

Simma working on a major over Conigliaro

My man's cutting too much weight, late season nose dive is a major flashing neon sign saying too much weight cutting.

[JuanMogen]

Is any team crushing it so far? Seems like we'll hit round two with things looking pretty even.

Mesenbrink looked a little out of sorts to start (first NCAA jitters?) but has settled in nicely. Tough to see anybody on that bottom side coming close to him.

Julian Ramirez didn't look very impressive, either. Pretty sure he's gonna get smoked by Messenbrink if he gets to him.

[Pinnacle]

What the hell was Starocci thinking at BigTens? He is obviously not 100 percent, and I would strongly favor Mehki to beat him.

Agree.... Mekhi could catch him at the right time here. 

[Pinnacle]

If Davis really is hurt, then PSU has to hit on all cylinders after that.

He wrestled Mesenbrink earlier in the year and they looked two weight classes apart.

So much for my feel-good story for the tournament this year.  Had Conigliaro AA'ing when I didn't see many thinking so...

*throws out 174 bracket*

[VakAttack]

Kennedy tried to stall the entire third period out with that RT point, he deserved to lose.   Gross.

[JuanMogen]

Benny Baker kicked his little legs like a toddler fighting his mom while getting standing suck back returned to his back.

Stop the sandbagging. Your posts are an embarrassment to this name. Either post in earnest or leave. Actually, just ***ducking** leave.

Rough start for ISU

Yes he did...every year is the same thing with Iowa.  Keep it close, no shots and then lose in the 3rd.  It is getting pretty old.

[hawkguy]

Kennedy more than likely won't place. If he makes the blood round. He will have either starocci or lewis

That's a bummer.  Hope he makes it through somehow, lewis and starocci have 1/2 of a good knee between them.

IOWA STYLE isn't going out of style any time soon, bud.  Get used to it.
