Agreed. It does not look like they were two weight classes apart weeks ago. 

I was just thinking the same thing.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

limited training, the injury, and going up 2 weight classes does not seem to have hampered Star's gas tank

I did not have Facundo taking down JB on today's BINGO card.

Or Facundo leading JB at the break.

Damn.  Hard for me not to root for Thicclay, but I was definitely rooting for Starocci there.

Haines might be needing to take a redshirt next year.

Facundo up 2-2 after 1st

[nickp91]

 the glitching on Mat 3 is barely noticeable 

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

Zac Braunagel broke "The Wall" aka Ben Provisor. That's a two-time Olympian that he beat. GO IRTC!!!

[jchapman]

Wow, JB wins without scoring a TD.

[Dogbone]

Bad coaching decision by Kennedy to challenge a pushout only down 4-2 with Facundo having the only 2 point move.  Basically let Burroughs coast to victory.

[Le duke]

I like watching Mesenbrink wrestle, but when it's an Oklahoma State kid, I'm positively giddy.

[Packard]

So Burroughs has to take out the entire NLWC to make the Olympics? Feels like a video game.

I'm also at work, and forgot my phone, this is the worst situation I've ever encountered.  
Go Wrestlers! 

Spladle - I called your boss and he said he understands your interest in this event so he’s informed me you're getting the day off with full pay! Go Wrestlers!

Lol he's sitting across from me and denies this happened, but I think he's fibbin

[Pipewrench]

Better pan to Moira quick for Alex!

[wrestle87]

Peacock channeling their best flowrestling quality broadcast.

[JuanMogen]

Burroughs could not have picked an uglier pair of shoes to leave on the mat. He’s about to feel really old. Methenbrink is going to come at him like a tornado of hands, teeth, and hair. 

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

Joe Rau with the win 7-0 at 97 kg Greco. Announcer (is that Mike Mal?) with some kudos to ILLINOIS Greco. 

[Interviewed_at_Weehawken]

Nice handshake by Carter! Such a great kid!

(Remember the time that he almost got teched by Dierenger but screamed to get out of a leg lace... then talked crap to Dierenger on the way off the mat?)

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Nolf didn't do much the 2nd period but Marinelli could not pierce his defense. Was hoping for a little more

He won't retire this weekend.

[JuanMogen]

Mesenbrink backing his ass back to Lockett over and over is the highlight of the event so far. 

[Pipewrench]

Looks like a pretty decent crowd there, no?

Can we whittle the Greco tech fall score down even more? I’d be happy with 2 point techs so we can get back to the second best style of wrestling behind folkstyle.
