Bob gave you 15 minutes.  

Need to just own up to our mistakes sometime. How'd our 17's end up?

Yup.  I was there, it was infuriating. 

Was that Pop's holiday tourney?

We may of had enough of a lead to survive.  3 points ahead everyone else down to one guy, as long as no pins maybe ...

I'm watching Kerk/Schultz again and jfc Kerk pisses me off. He is legitimately *that* strong but he doesn't chain wrestle or move ahead. He plays checkers. That's why the technically superior/ physically inferior Parris beat him last year and why anyone who is a rare horsepower equivalent will continue to beat him. I know what I want to say but it won't be well received, but, uhh, yeah... Kerk ain't him. Big as an oak the end.

Nothing on the ASU website about that.  The PSU website says they wrestled in 21-22, with Kerk winning 8-2, but they list it as happening during the Nebraska dual meet, so that can’t be correct. I don’t think they have wrestled before tonight. 

Looks like it was a 14-8 win for Schultz, but it was all Kerk tonight

Somebody tell DC that Schultz has never wrestled Kerkvliet. That’s why he has never lost to him. 

The lack of self awareness here is awesome.

 Brooks gets his 4th tomorrow night. 

Absolutely. That's no longer the question for me.

The question for me is whether he can take out David Taylor in the Olympic Trials.

When were either of those in question?

Look how hard they're ducking interviews with Brooks and Kerk. Heathens.

As a PSU fan I don’t have any interest in seeing interviews from either. I’m just glad they won.

Sorry guys. The update has been posted. Maybe just stay in this thread.

I'm hoping Salazr wins here.  Keck is winning regardless but I already saw Keck demolish Plott easily 2 weeks ago. 

I'd like to think OSU will have Plott coached up for Keck, but this is OSU we're talking about here.

I had/have little doubt that Brooks would win the NCAA tournament at 197. 

Beating Olympic and World Champion David Taylor at the Olympic trials this year is an entirely different thing. It absolutely IS in question, especially since Taylor took care of business the last time they met. Brooks has certainly continued to improve, at least in beating up the best of the field at 197 this year. Doing that is much different than beating David Taylor in freestyle.

Taylor beating Brooks is not in question. The scoreboard is. The end.

So you watched a match where Kerk absolutely dominates an ncaa finalist, 4x AA and Olympian and your first thought yea this guy just isn’t it ..Funny bc Cael is on video this year saying he avoids eye contact with Kerk at practice bc he doesnt want to wrestle with him bc he’s so strong and good , he took down gable at ncaas and was the only person not bonused by him gables last year and he’s only bigger and better since then

I think Penn State is something like 59-7 in semifinals under Sanderson.  Insane percentage given the level of competition at that stage.

Pretty sure Gomez and I had some epic battles in Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting there in the 90s, he played a mean Dee-Jay IIRC.
