Snooze fest of a match.  Dake nolf

[nhs67]

JB didn't weigh in today.

Whoever wins the 3rd place match between Mesenbrink and Jacques will be 3rd on our ladder and win the 'True 2nd' match over JB via forfeit - which will be 3rd on our ladder at 74 KG.

[D3 for LU]

Pushout pt for Nolf... Dake takes the 1st match, 4-1.

Predictable match by Dake.  But it worked.

Something has to be done about the total evasion of engagement in the last minute by guys with a lead.  

[4xJVchamp]

Did nolf even take a shot?

No they’d have to wrestle the Dake Nolf loser for true 2nd

Passivity is more confusing than stalling. Dake backs up and circles the entire second period while Nolf chases, or stands in the middle, but Nolf gets put on the clock?

He took a lot of (half) shots.  It's just damn hard to get through Dake's head and hands defense and dancing around

Yes, because "nlwc" refs would naturally focus on screwing Illinois wrestlers. Long known fact.

THEY DID!

Those NLWC refs let both Braunagels make their third-place matches, for some reason I can't understand, but Zac's girlfriend lost just now, thanks to an awful NLWC ref who hates true love.

Sorry to hear Dake's father just passed.

It was hard for Nolf to even make contact with Dake for the majority of the match. What’d he supposed to do just dive from across the mat?

Nope. Every time he has taken a shot in Dake in the past he has been chest wrapped and tossed so I’m sure that is in the back of his mind.

Maroulis is something else. Won gold in Rio and still looks tough as hell.

[Dark Energy]

Nolf pt wasn’t push out.  It was caution and 1 for Dake evading I believe.

Dake had to do better preventing guys getting to his legs.  He did that.  

[SocraTease]

DT vs. Brooks up finally in two matches.   It's the last of Round One finals matches.   Brooks should be rehydrated.  

I think the match will be more interesting than Zain vs. Lee or Dake vs. Nolf.

In one series with Dake, Nolf was the only guy of the two to score a TD ... but ended up losing on Dake's clock points and pushouts.   Dake seems to get the clock points even though a lot of his game is evasion and wrestling on his knees.

They need to do something about this format. Mostly brutally boring for something should be super exciting.

Kerk just dominated Hendrickson
