D3 for LU

An interesting take... I'll be watching that to see if that will become true. (We haven't had quite another FS like Bruce B w/ the longevity (AND medals) like him... recent wrestlers approaching but shorter, longevity-wise.) D3

Six-plus minutes of RT loomed BIG in THAT match! (Choose down , indeed. (Heh, heh. ) D3

"I know what I'm doing, Coach. I got this covered... I choose DOWN." D3

You're the non-annoying one. D3

Legend has it that Iowa wrestling fans will call STALLING while in line for the concession stand, if one hesitates to decide whether to have a large or medium Mt. Dew. D3

For LEHIGH, Josh Humphreys wasn't too shabby: ALSO... the Ciasulli brothers (Matt & Seth) were pretty devastating as well. D3

... you GO to the Nationals (or States) to watch one BECOME a National (or State) Champ. (Easy peasy, eh? ) D3

Interesting, indeed... the B&W wrestled Mason Ziegler last nite instead of Matty Lopes (from what I read/heard, he's going to the George Mason tourney wrestling un attached.) The decision for Ryan must be done soon (like, next week?) IF not... it may appear that Lopes will be in the EIWA lineup. Wont know until it happens. D3

You say: State-o I say Stah-to. You say post season-o I say post sah-sen-o State-o, Stah-to. Post Season-o, Post Sah-sen-o... let's call the whole thing off! (Boy, I'm REALLY streching this! ) D3

Mouthing off and performance antics towards the Lehigh crowd as he had his hands raised... really poor form for a returning NCAA champ (in a similar way that Teemer did after nipping Humphreys late in their bout back in 2/19/22: the dual @ Grace.) D3

25: Ramos (Purdue) 133: Crookham (Lehigh) 141: Alirez (UNCo), Bartlett (PSU) [Mendez removed] 149: Henson (VT) [Lamer removed] 157: Miller (MD) [Kasak removed] 165: Mesenbrink (PSU) [Hall removed] 174: O'Toole (Mizz), Hamiti (Ok St) [Kharchla removed] 184: Starocci (PSU), Keckeisen (N Iowa), McEnelly (Minn) 197: Buchanan (Iowa), Ferrari (CSUB) HWT: Steveson (Minn), Kerkvliet (PSU), Hendrickson (OK St), Trephan (Lehigh) [ Cinnabon removed] D3

Owen Trephan in action w/ his TD of Colhton Schultz: https://www.facebook.com/reel/644401777958253 (... reason why he remains undefeated.) D3

INSTANT... REPLAY, replay, replay, replay! https://www.facebook.com/reel/644401777958253 D3

EVEN Better win for Owen Trephan over Cohlton Schultz. The TD by Trephan alone brought the house down! D3

I just caught the last match @ 133 between McGonagle and Orine... all tied up @ 2 each after the 3rd. Orine w/ the cememt mixer attempt and McGonagle w/ the stuff. Nice action by both wrestlers... ACC tournament @ 133 finals will be a good one! D3

Dual end w/ a BANG! 125 Kyle Gollhofer (Northern Iowa) over Osmany Diversent (Iowa State) (Fall 6:02) 6 0 Team Score: 26 10 26-10 No Iowa D3

285 Daniel Herrera (Iowa State) over Lance Runyon (Northern Iowa) (Dec 3-1) No Iowa 20 Iowa St 10... 125 left to wrestle. D3

174 Jared Simma (Northern Iowa) over MJ Gaitan (Iowa State) (Dec 7-4) D3

In the end, imho, Colin Realbuto did what he had to do and achieved the results that he was looking for (coming from behind a 7-2 deficit w/a tough wrestler, like Paniro Johnson, is something to behold.) D3
