Hahah hilarious

I'm always usually for the underdogs meaning I'll occasionally root for teams other than penn state but it's impossible not to root for MM.

When he pointed to the line at the center of the mat I got freaking goose bumps, he just seemed to be in a totally different place mentally... I do like crookham but he's very much a counter wrestler and getting behind on the scoreboard does not bode well for him especially against someone like Vito.

Absolutely beautiful by Vito when he locks in he is superhuman

I really hope Shapiro is the next Cornell 4 time champ

Didn't have Brock Mauller going 2 and out on my bingo card

Askey big brothered chittum only to be big bothered by Shapiro

Felt the same watching the end of that

Anyone feeling Abas here?

Outside of Yianni and Vito it has seemed to me the past few years that Cornell guys are lacking a bit in the size of their gas tanks

Crookham is just so stingy barley giving up anything

Did not expect McKee to get handled the way he did

Fireworks out of the gate, I'm betting on a big upset or two

He loves saying"Resilite" it would be like a college football analyst calling out the turf manufacturer every other time there was a big tackle on the field

Indeed

Foca wrestled the dumbest last 20 seconds I've ever seen... he's up by 3, gives up a stalling point and instead of just giving up another stalling point, basically stops wrestling and gives up the TD to lose by a point.... absolute stupidity

Mekhi v Starocci is going to be really interesting

Kinda brutal the lightest weights always have the shortest recovery period after weighins before competing. I wonder if the data would show that the majority of upsets come in the first few weight classes and if that could be a result of how guys respond to the weight cut?

If Askey went to penn state would he be a top 4 seed? I joke...kind of

Put it in the sparks-isms thread!

Chittum was getting a ton of love in all the media run up to the tournament and I hadn't seen much of him this year and I'm a little disappointed

App State came to wrestle today man... even the ones they've lost they've been competitive in every match

"The scoreboards take a breath when he's on the mat because they know they're gonna be busy"

Just wanted a thread where we could just post specific matches that are the most entertaining to watch/rewatch... With all the mats I know I'm bound to miss some great ones so if you see anything wild this weekend, let us know so we can go back and check it out if missed!

While yes to the first part, his medals come at a non oly weight and the weight cut seems to do a number on him. Has he ever beaten anyone of note at 65kg outside of Yianni? It's like the penn state guys at 65kg train to just take out Yianni then can't string together a qualifying tournament for their life... whoever is our rep I'll be praying to the wrestling gods we squeak in. It's wild guys like Haji, Bajrang, Ochir haven't yet qualified. So true that the bracket draw will be monumental for our potential success or demise.
