This. I don't think they are at all comparable. Lee, already hurt, but needs to win his match against a legitimate competitor. Starocci, healthy, just trying to finish the bonus against an over-matched opponent. Lee had to do something. Starocci just a freak accident. They are both knee injuries, however.
-
Yes, when you're kind of coasting to victories that probably makes it less interesting. Now, having to change your style to accommodate an injury, that probably grabs your attention...
-
What the hell is wrong with these guys today? A college campus used to be a relatively safe place to be. Thoughts/prayers to his family.
-
I think mostly that was just PR-speak, and that winning an NCAA title would be pretty special to him. But a big thumbs up on the 'kicking himself' line...
-
Yes. And we've seen guys wrap up a knee and go, e.g. Spencer Lee on multiple occasions.
-
If I understood that I think we are violently agreeing.

As a former HS ref I am always surprised at how much college refs let the coaches get away with. Smith is a notorious ref-baiter, and it looks like Coleman Scott is going to follow in the footsteps of his Jedi master. How can you let these guys climb up onto the raised platform to go out onto the mat?
-
Very close. Locked hands call saved the team point.
-
Just watched the replay. It is his right knee.
-
55-0. Third shutout for PSU this season.
-
Kerk cradles in the first period for the fall.

Nebraska vs Arizona state. Who you got

Agree with Kov88 -
Kerk now up at heavyweight.
-
Yes, no upsets at PSU except now maybe for Starocci's injury.
-
Brooks gets the TF, blows kisses to the PSU crowd.
-
Don't remember, have to rewind after the live feed is over. Which knee did he hurt last year?
-
Brooks now out there now against Jack Kilner
-
Truax with the TF
-
No doubt there will be Monday morning quarterbacks asking why the starters weren't rested for this match, but in this case he essentially did it to himself. Truax up now at 184.
-
Just tuned in on BTN+. Is no one else watching this? Starocci was rolling up some unranked guy on his way to a tech fall and tweaked his knee and had to be helped off the mat.
-
Forgot about WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP. As many/most of the people on this board probably know, John Irving wrestled for Pitt back in the day. Some other of his books, THE 158 POUND MARRIAGE and THE IMAGINARY GIRLFRIEND have more wrestling in them, but are less well known.

Agreed, it kept your interest. I also liked the sub-story line of the 'haves and have nots', private Lakewood St. Eds, with multiple teams, a nutritionist, etc., and public Lakewood down the road who has one good kid living in an apartment with his single mother but who has a dream of being a champion. If you haven't seen it I won't spoil it for you, other than to say it is a documentary, and not Hollywood.

Yes, when your change of jobs is covered in FORBES magazine I think you can say that you have, indeed, arrived.

... but this MSN feed provoked another Ferrari thread: Angelo Ferrari wins another Texas high school state wrestling title (msn.com) It includes a video interview, if you just can't get enough Ferrari in your life.
