  1. Outstanding work by Crookham to finish that takedown.
  2. Barnett should be dinged for locked hands.
  3. Surprised by the lack of urgency in the first wave of quarters at 125. Plus, wrestlers are so used to trying to kill time staying in bounds they forget when they need to save time by going out of bounds and getting a fresh start in the center of the mat.
  4. I got all of my "real work" done Monday thru Wednesday and held off on answering all of my email for the week for yesterday and today.
  5. The good news - Thursdays and Fridays I work from home. I have a three-screen set-up at my home office - two for work and my Mac will have the Matcast. That being said, I still need to be sober in case something happens on a Friday afternoon in our beloved capital...which is never.
  6. My work station is up. Drinking will have to wait until the semis.
  7. Good lord - what happened to Conjgliaro these last two weeks?
  8. So, the book is out on Mesenbrink - be 7 feet tall and choose top. Cole Urbas is licking his chops.
  9. Late 2nd period. Wrong way Cowcatcher, then kept adjusting on top for a minute. Typical explosive Gomez.
  10. So, Lewan is actually going to have to wrestle.
  11. Did not see Ayala’s domination of Provo coming. At least one Hawkeye was ready to wrestle today.
  12. Is there a rule against halo headgear? I hated the style of headgear worn now by everyone, in part because of that snap,
  13. McKee didn’t know what to do after winning his 1st round match at NCAAs
  14. No it's not, but Conigliaro was overseeded given his two losses at EIWAs. He's picking a bad time of the season to be wrestling his worst.
  15. Seems like he could've easily teched Nevills just shooting to Nevills right leg on that last takedown. Heck, I thought he was going to tech Nevills in the 1st after the first exchnage.
  16. Hendrickson is being too aggressive, just like in the Bastida match. First minute of chain wrestling was brilliant. He needs to realize when to dial it back. Lack of competition in the room/during the season is probably not helping.
  17. World's largest fighter pilot making little Nevills look silly.
  18. I think he's going to get a lift in after this match.
  19. Every good Zach Glazier vibe may have just gone out the window.
  20. Is any team actually having a good round this morning? VT?
  21. Haslerig was a true freak. That being said, a wrestler like Haselrig - or more appropriately, Karl Monaco of Montclair State and Dan Russell of Portland State - knew they could stay close to home and still be eligible to wrestle at the D1 meet. The decision to restrict the D1 tourney to just D1 teams/athletes in the early 1990s has helped reduce the quality of D2 and D3 wrestling.
  22. Which is why I'm curious why the press is saying this a great hire for NC State... Again, not every great wrestler is a great coach.
  23. Two questions: 1) What prompted Esposito to leave OSU in the first place? 2) If Esposito did truly want the USA Wrestling position, what's going on in Colorado Springs?
  24. I just hope somebody - anybody - talks to the ridiculousness of Fix's participation in this year's tourney on ESPN's telecast this year and to the fact that he could've taken his 2nd ORS and been competing next season. In team sports, these extra years, COVID and otherwise, are killing chances for high school athletes to join college teams. This will trickle into individual sports like wrestling if this nonsense is not stopped.
