ACC Andonian vs OConner (sp?)

For what it is worth, I was taught that it was a "snowplow". Every region has its own names for stuff. I don't mind a little banter, but there needs to be a limit. I think the challenge with being funny in these situations is that you don't really have an audience (that you can see/hear), so that when something is not going over well, or has been running on for too long, you don't get that feedback like you would if you were on stage. I think there is a tendency to think that if your broadcast partner is amused, then so is the audience.

You're more than welcome. I just didn't want you to sit through a bunch of WBB thinking that wrestling was coming back on 'at any moment'.

Uh, wrestling is done. They started at the weight above OConner/Andonian.

Coleman Scott and the other coach were over yelling at the table. So who knows what they were really torqued about.

That was worth waiting for. Great match.

They saved this one for last, hope it lives up to the expectations.

Mathews not exciting to watch, but wins smart.

Mickey didn't do much on offense, too dependent on NC State making a mistake.

Or KISS.

You called it. Although VaTech did most of (what little there was) the work.

What can I say, I was in demand elsewhere. But you have my full attention now.

Yes

Yes, as both a former wrestler and official he's very good. It's the students majoring in sports communication that they pull in from the dorm who are worse than dead air.

The announcers are doing a good job at these ACC semis. Refreshing given how poor some of the regular season duals announcing was.

I don't think these 9th place matches count for point in the B10 tournament. My interest is really in looking forward to Nationals. Agreed that losing on purpose would be pretty crappy, but I'm just asking "theoretically" as to what the impact would be on the team scores.

Andonian seems like he can throw from anywhere. Fun to watch.

Thank you

Where did you watch this? I thought the ACC network was just showing the finals tonight.

Yes, he won his two PA titles in the AA division at 106 and 113. Took third as a senior at 120. Just doesn't look big enough.

OK, so Steen lost his 9 place match. Could someone who understands NCAA tournament scoring tell me it the following is correct? Assume Steen can't beat anybody in his bracket, and won't score any points for PSU. Is PSU better off with him not in the tournament, since some competing team could score bonus on him, or gets some points in a pigtail match?

Working hard to get bonus points now.

Van Ness doing what a fifth seed should be doing in the beginning of the consis...

Sigh.
