Lilledahl LOST Davis LOST Bartlett WON SVN WON Kasak LOST Mesenbrink WON Haines WON Starocci TBD [My prediction: win] Barr TBD [My prediction: loss] Kerk TBD [My prediction: loss]

Sadly, it looks like you were right. Nebraska meanwhile is killing it...could they overtake PSU for the team title?!

I predicted 3 losses in the quarters but even I am shocked. #1 Lilledahl loses to #8 Seymour, who Lilledahl beat earlier #8 Davis is dominated 12-1 by #1 Byrd (not surprised by this one) #1 Kasak looks winded at the whistle and loses to #8 Blaze I expect Barr and Kerk to lose too.

Kasak looked gassed from the whistle...really odd.

Kasak look winded from the start of the match

Wow down goes Kasak too

Looks like I may have underestimated. Did not expect Lilledahl to lose.

Byrd is 3 weight classes stronger than Davis

Penn State starts quarters 0-2

The first #1 seed to lose...didn't see that coming.

I mean folkstyle season is only a few months a year. Isn't there enough freestyle elsewhere for you to get your fill?

You can't blame them for taking Bob's bag. $500,000 is a lot of money for almost anyone. But you can't help but wonder if Iowa ground them down to nubs like they did with some other recent grad transfers.

Sad to hear that. I think Teemer and Parco may have done better to stay at ASU.

Sounds like you'd rather just watch freestyle?

Overperforming - obviously Penn State so far with a 20-0 record. Though I expect them to take 3 losses in the quarters and a bunch in the semis. Underperforming - Iowa. The $1,000,000 NIL duo of Parco and Teemer may only yield 1 team point for Bob.

McEnelly is huge

All 3 would be underdogs in the finals (assuming the 1 seeds make it through)

No guarantee. I thought Davis and Barr would lose last round. I was wrong, thankfully.

Barring the whole team getting a stomach virus this morning they will win the team title again, no doubt. The biggest surprise is Kerk coming out with a giant knee brace. Barr also doesn't look like he's going to make the semis due to his hamstring injury.

20-0 over the first 2 rounds is crazy, but today Penn State will take 3 losses. My quarter finals predictions: 125 Lilledahl DEC Seymour 133 Davis will lose by DEC to #1 Byrd; Byrd beat Davis 7-1 earlier this year 141 Bartlett DEC Composto 149 SVN DEC McNeil 157 Kasak DEC Blaze 165 Messenbrink MAJ Amine 174 Haines DEC Wask 184 Starocci MAJ Smith 197 Barr will lose by DEC to Beard; Barr beat Beard by major early this season but Barr is clearly suffering from his hamstring injury and Beard is in top form. HWT Kerkvliet will lose to Heindselman; Kerk has domoinated Heindselman all season but now Kerk has a giant Spencer Lee knee brace on which has sapped all of his mobility from neutral. I have Heindselman pulling a big upset.

Right now it's looking like Bob spent $1,000,000 in NIL to buy 1 team point (Teemer and Parco). Cruz is out. Ayala and Kennedy are wrestling well. Buchanan is dominating. Arnold is alive. Keuter keeps winning. But Nebraska is on fire.

It’s his last year of college wrestling.

PSU goes 8-2 in round 2 with Davis and Barr losing decisions. 125 Lilledahl MAJ West 133 Brown DEC Davis (it was a close win last time, Brown gets Davis this time around) 141 Bartlett DEC Tagg 149 SVN MAJ Clark 157 Kasak DEC Chittum 165 Messenbrink TF Mosher 174 Haines Haines MAJ Sax 184 Starocci MAJ Cartagena-Walsh 197 Munoz DEC Barr (Barr's hamstring injury shows bigtime in his ability to finish shots) HWT Kerk TF Hoffman

It's confirmed the injury was hamstring. Not ankle or knee. Hamstring injuries sap your explosiveness off that leg,

Kerkvliet wearing the giant Spencer Lee knee brace - that's new
