I'm glad nobody who decides cares what you think.

He's really good. He's better than the big names they put in the booth. I think ESPN would be smart to build their broadcast team around him.

You can make an argument for him, but I think you're going way to far suggesting that you have to give it to him. Carr is as good a choice as any (if not better).

There is no good way to conduct matside interviews. So I blame the broadcast company that insists on them, not the guy conducting them.

He'd be my top choice for next head coach at OSU. He's probably my favorite Cowboy.

Burroughs arguing that Carr's back broke 90 on a tilt. He hasn't been very good on the announcing tonight. I'd much prefer Harrison in the booth.

Brutal. Absolutely brutal. How do you cut away from a close match to show a guy walking?

From the best to worst guy on the OSU roster none of them can finish a TD. They all get to the leg and none of them can finish. Fix got in deep and it ended in a Vito TD.

I agree. The way O'Toole destroys everyone not named Carr says a ton to me. And for Carr to beat him 3 times would do it.

WOW!!!!!!!

NIce timeout/challenge for Lee here.

Burroughs has to be better if they're going to put him announcing this semifinals spot. He just called Ramos foolish for choosing bottom when Lee chose top.

Lots of guys are much 'luckier' but simply don't take advantage of the opportunities. I thought he got some beneficial reffing against Andonian, but he took that crack in the door and kicked it in and dominated the next 5 minutes. Good for him.

Oklahoma State with a pathetic showing. Witcraft, Young, Voinovich, Gfeller, Sheets, Wittlake, Surber, and Doucette combined for 5 points. That's 8 wrestlers and 5 points. All 8 are eliminated. I wonder if any team has ever had 8 guys eliminated in the first 3 sessions. I wonder if this will be the lowest team score by a team that brought 10. Plott is in the round of 12 tonight after getting pinned in the quarters in the first period by a cow catcher. Fix is in the semis. Sad ending for John Smith, but I think it's probably time for a change.

Seeded guys already get their earned advantage on the top side. I wouldn't be in favor of them getting more than that.

Ramirez just held on for a 17-15 win over Braunegel. Wild match where both guys gassed at different points.

Then you went weirdly defensive and declared anyone who didn't like it was whining and inventing conspiracies. I am fine with neither of those being pins. I am fine with them both being pins. I am not okay with one being a pin and the other not being a pin in the same match. You can't be that quick with the trigger after being that slow. It's not a conspiracy, it's just bad reffing.

This looks like a pin to you? It looks like the same reffing from when Haines was on his back?

You've got to be wearing some very blue glasses to come to that conclusion.

The speed he calls the fall for Haines compared to not calling it for Andonian earlier is awful. Congrats to Haines, but that's absurd from the ref.

Seriously. He was painted.

This review should have lasted about 5 seconds.

Wow. So happy to see a guy beat after picking neutral in the 2nd ride out.

The strategy for countering that probably starts with escaping when you're on bottom.

Some great matches already.
