It would be funny if Ayala got pissy with Petersen for wanting to wrestle in the finals.

Good one! lol

I will say that I think we now know there was more going on physically with Spencer than we knew at the time.  And it appears af if Drake and Spencer mended fences, as he brought Drake to Paris.

Kennedy wins 6-2 over Danny Wask, the fans go wild

Ferrari is acting like he's about to wrestle - pumping himself up and jumping up and down.  Then collects the forfeit.  He's  a good actor I guess

Wait Arnold is the one that MFF’d?  Doesn’t that count as a loss for him??

[flyingcement]

Aeoden Sinclair vs Stephen Buchanan coming up

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Concerning result by Caliendo. But props to Sparks, he is scrappy and made some good scrambles happen.

 

I'm curious as to why they had Arnold forfeit TO Ferarri. Shouldn't it be the other way around? That will count as a loss for Arnold, right? I don't really understand this move unless the plan is to burn Ferarri's redshirt, which would then pad his record with a "win" over Garnold.

Oh wait I think inter-team matches don’t count anymore 

[Greenwave]

Amazing Brands dogged Minnesota last year for not wrestling each other.

Actually I think you're right.  No idea what the rationale was (or if there was a rationale)

That's what I am thinking. Whether this was planned from the start or a game time decision, it only makes sense to have Garnold be the one to forfeit if you see a benefit to Ferarri getting the "win" on his record.

Static rules will always lose to ambitious people.  At some point we need to take a step back and empower wise people to make judgment calls (rather than rewriting the book everytime the person outhinks it)

ohhhhhhh. If so, disregard my previous post. This is really $h!tty. Just let them wrestle. Unless Garnold is actually hurt. It kinda seemed to me like he was limping a little as he walked off after his semifinal match

Ferrari wins by MFF. If anyone thought they were going to wrestle, hate to say I told you so, but they weren’t ever going to.

Is that a loss on Arnold's record?

Not sure, but I don’t believe MFF count as losses but I’m not familiar with the new rule. 

[Truzzcat]

If that counts as a loss for Arnold that goes down as a loss to someone that won't be at NCAA's which I would imagine dings him pretty hard for seeding. I wonder if thats a subtle tell on who the guy actually is? If it is Angelo though why not just wrestle the match.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Buchanan has progressively gotten more tape on his upper back as the season has gone along. Now has his neck strapped up

I don't know if it counts as a loss or not. I didn't know about the teammate rule, and I'm not sure how the MFF rule counts when concerning teammates.. But if it does count as a loss, could it mean that Arnold is going to make his way down to 174 and the MFF counts as a ranked win for Ferrari at 184..?

Any updates on Buch vs Sinclair

Pretty sure the first MFF in a tournament would normally count as a loss, but that matches against teammates do not count at all.

It was all Buch. Takedown in the first with a tilt to go up 6-0 going into the second. Ended up scoring a couple more times, I believe it was 14-1 when Buch took a shot in the 3rd and Sinclair downblocked straight into an armdrag

Scoring.

1st: 3 TD and 3 NF for Buch at the end of the first.. riding time well over a minute.

2nd :ESC Buchanon to make it 7-0, pretty clean TD to finish to make it 10-0, escape Sinclair.. he doesn't get into his stance as he circles to face Buchanon and he gets immediately doubled to make it 13-1.

3rd: Sinclair takes neutral, Buchanon takes a shot, Sinclair downblocks directly into an armdrag for a td.. escape Buchanon 14-4. Neither guys gets close to a score in the last minute and with riding time you have the final 15-4.

Figured you might want more than just the final score for the prized Mizz Freshman.

Anyone who saw that match have a breakdown?  Hard to imagine there was a gap in skill and more likely a huge gap in strength & size
