He really hasn't taken that big leap forward that I hoped he would after announcing he would focus on wrestling for this season. Fortunately, still a decent amount of time left 

He had a couple of nice shots, but he needs to watch some Snyder film to clean up his finishes against the big boys.

LAST CHANCE

Name your winners for Nebraska. I have Hardy. Maybe 125 as well 

Caleb Smith and Jacob Van Dee 

[flyingcement]

Malik Amine doing pretty well as a commentator here

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Woah. When did Malik Amine start working for B1G? 

[VakAttack]

I'm glad that happened to Kueter, he was on Luffman's legs easily multiple times in the third.  Do some of that early.

Sometimes broadcasters have to fill time….. people can be overly critical.   

I mean....that's fine, but don't lie, lol. 

[Pipewrench]

That was a nice, albeit boring pre-show.

Since last season. I think he does well. Didn't care for him as a wrestler, but doing great with the commentary. And good for BTN recognizing.

Common.  I’m an Iowa fan and I’m defo not an Illini fan but a broadcaster has to make matchups sound interesting.   How often do let’s say nfl announcers make a lob-sided Matchup sound even.   Wrestling fans can be happy with nothing……. Sheesh. 

[flyingcement]

Dual starting at 174 he says!

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Not starting at 125 suggests that weight problems for Smith as rumored 

[Pinnacle]

Starting at 174? The suspense just got whacked

You could just say "Braunagel is more of a defensive wrestler, looking to grind out wins thru his ultra toughness" and accomplished the same thing without being disingenuous. 

[Mr. PeanutButter]

OK solo'ing this box of wine wasn't my best idea

Never admit defeat. And tell the Illini I said so.

Agree to disagree.  It’s a whatever comment.   We complain we can’t grow the sport.  Did I believe him.   Not really.  Did it matter.   Not really.   Casual fans it may make it more interesting.  You’re being argumentative to be argumentative.  
 

if he changed his spiel to.   This dude has basically no chance of winning…. Etc.   that’s not good broadcasting.

Gibbons throwing shade at the early match

[Pinnacle]

I chose down. Oops, I meant I chose Blantons.

[VakAttack]

Theoretically Haines shouldn't be able to horse Pinto around.

[ionel]

Do Casey & Cael have the same barber?

[Mr. PeanutButter]

I'm. Veeeery intoicatd but Levi looks bigher

The Illini trying to break the French record of ten minutes as many times as possible tonight

Good meet. Illinois takes second Place. Iowa ended up finishing next to last.

[Pinnacle]

Pinto is from Ne Pa. Looked like he slipped on ice 

[PortaJohn]

@flyingcement you're the man for turning this into one thread! Hope this becomes the norm

You are seeing two of him. He actually looks smaller.
