Elevator

I am not a Nebraska supporter generally, but Hardy has won me over to the super cool point of view. A lot of super cool wrestlers out there and we do not know all of their stories. Love his attitude and love to watch him compete - relentlessly active and inovative.

Love in my heart - may the best men win and everyone stay healthy! Good men on all the teams and a lot of dedicated coaches.

"Best" is hard to judge, particularly if you drag freestyle accomplishments during NCAA career into it. Among the most accomplished at collegiate wrestling - which already includes Starocci and Dake - do not think either makes the top 5 for most interesting. Yianni was more interesting as a great collegiate wrestler than Dake (who lost in a stallfest in the EIWA finals). Starocci is probably not in the top 5 of most interesting great PSU collegiate wrestlers. My own totally subjective criteria as to what is more fun to watch.

may compete w 125 for wildest weight - thing about Mendez is he took 3 losses and two at B1G's (if I recall correctly). Seems vulnerable.

Shane Griffith - really deft handling of the pending thresat to cut Stanford wreslting. He may not get enough credit for turning the tide. Impressive poise for a wrestler coming off the mat in the NCAA finals.

This reminds me that I miss Sinead. Nothing Compares to You. Better than even Prince's version.

I have been hit in the head too many times - you are right. Session 4 w semis is the one that should not be missed. Good call.

in a shocker, Pitzer v Trephan NCAA final won by Pitzer!

love the guy, but Hardy may be an elder statesman among the competitors He is fun to watch and not too much signs of aging!

Jeez - if I could only be there for one session it is session 5. But true that the Market is awesome and worth trying to squeez in.

Dunno - Harkins may take out Pinto

have not seen McGowan much - interestiong opener w McCrone. Like to see Poulin come out w the mohawk he had as a youth wrestler - does he have much of a chance v Sprately - Spratley has one more loss and both have 20 wins

Doubt he wants the 4 and probably no preference between 2 and 3?

Guessing Michael Beard might be the most pleased by this - other half from AJ and Buchanan. Barr may not be 100% and wrestling up a weight and he knows he will have a chance and strategy with Cardenas.

suprisingly tough path for all top 4 seeds - this weight could be a wild one

Not too bad - but Ramos may have the better draw

Stout v Stout in 2nd round - ouch Like the top 5 seeds!

Seems unwise - would have to demand a redo

Hardy is like Mitchell Mesenbrink in terms of fan interest - dude reliably creates a lot of action in interesting ways. Lille and Figs pretty fun too.

fair enough - my bad - I will reallocate the blame for that boring match 100% on BB

I stand accused and I'm guilty, baby I always will be.

Saw that - Rohn was unstoppable with that move. Lehigh should have had Trenge suck down and he would have beatn Lambrecht easily and had Rohn bump up and take out Sanderson for his 4th title. Even Sanderson could not defend the Rohn cement mixer in Albany!

I may not fully appreciate Vombaur - mostly based on B1G tourney and perhaps it was a game plan for Beau who is not often out of position.

Your Super bowl champs, the Eagles are my favorite! Notable that Saquon and Cooper were youth wrestlers! I used to root for team USA in freestyle but thinking about switching to team Canada.

I have heard that the seeding committee monitors these boards for assistance as to what true wrestle fans want and adjust brackets accordingly. So, here are some matches that should be planned for our entertainment: 125 - Poulin v. Lille and rematch of Ramos v. Figueroa 133 - Bailey v. Byrd, Romeny v. Ayalla, and Bouzakis v. Frost 141 - rematches of Hardy v. Mendez and Alirez v. Jamison nobody wants to watch Vombaur or Beau let alone a snoozefest rematch - avoid at all costs by separating these guys on different sides fo the bracket 149 - Henson v. Lovette and McNeil v. VanNess 157 - Kasak v. Shapiro and nobody care much about other matches 165 - Caliendo v. Ramirez and Bearclaw v. the PSU guy 174 - Karchla v. Kennedy and the top 3 in a round robin somehow 184 - Keck v. McEnelly and Plott v. CStar 197 - AJ v. Barr, AJ v. Buchanan, and AJ v. Cardenas HM Barr v. Breard 285 - Trephan v. Kerk and Hendrickson v. Steveson Nobody wants a rematch of b1G final snoozefest - not sure how to avoid
