I'm probably a little bit biased but I think Spencer Lee has better offense than ADS or Fix, and if anyone finishes a takedown on RBY, it will be Lee. But I don't like the match up at 133. We've seen what happens when someone undersized bumps up (who was that defending champ that Terry Brands destroyed that one year?). Not confident Lee's super strength is enough to counter RBY's speed, size, and conditioning advantage so RBY has to be considered the favorite by any objective standard. I'll take Lee at 57kg though

Foley looks worse than he did 2 years ago. Still very quick, but looked sloppy and a little lost in some of those scrambles

How was the starting weight decided?

Meh. The injury default loss that DeSanto took was shameful but, 1) RBY has never done that to anyone else, 2) Austin shot in at least 15 times after the injury and the situation never recurred, 3) Lee and Austin are not comparable wrestlers. Lee finishes his shots differently than Austin. He would not find himself in the same predicament

Are you... Using windows XP?

Is there something about "intent" here that we're missing? That call looked as obvious of headgear pull as any I remember seeing.

Ragusin started off strong with 2 first period takedowns and then fell off the wagon, hard.

Lee pin RBY major Woods better be ready to go by then... Woods decision Murin decision Haines major Kennedy decision Carter decision Brooks major Dean decision Kerk decision

I'm not privy to what WKN thinks. All I'm saying is that a ton of top wrestlers either haven't wrestled (Woods, Facundo, O'Toole, Glory, 30%+ of Ohio State's lineup), or if they did, they looked sluggish/off (Arujau, Warner, Swiderski) Actually, now that I think of it, OKST might be one of the few teams that have been wrestling a full lineup. They have looked ok. Wittlake losing was a surprise

Roughly 36% of the entire D1 roster is sick or injured right now. I don't think I saw a single top team field their "full" lineup this past week.

Things got off to a VERY spicy start with Spencer Lee briefly trailing Ramos 8-2 before finding his way to the pin. Anyways, Teske wrestling for the first time since November

Don't be dramatic. RBY and Lee have both said it's their choice when to compete. Here's Cael's own words on the topic: “I think it’s a tricky situation; there’s different mind-sets, you know,” Sanderson said. “A guy like Aaron, he looks at it sometimes like, ‘well I want to give some of these other guys on the team a chance to wrestle.’ “But I think it’s a little tricky,” Sanderson continued. “When I grew up my dad was my coach and I wouldn’t miss a match for anything; I don’t care what the situation is. So that’s my mentality, but I think things kind of change over time.” “Kids could look at things differently and I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer. You’ve seen some really successful wrestlers the last few years kind of picked and chosen the matches they wanted to participate in. Hopefully that’s not a trend. Part of wrestling is … wrestle … go compete. But we give our guys a lot of freedom to make decisions and take some ownership in their careers and we have a lot of trust in them.” So, the decision on when to compete does not seem to be one sided

Yuck. Most of the team has seemed slow tonight.

Brands might be injured +/- sick but his wrestling is the antithesis of his father's

PK looked good. Gave the crowd some energy.

I thought Vito looked lethargic. Not a lot of movement or speed

My goodness. Is Drew Bennett sick? Ive never seen his defense look so bad. It's non-existent, if anything

The graphics are wrong. That was Schriever out there (note the elbow wrap)

Ugh. I want to see Woods. If he's healthy.

Very slick by Byrd

Legit point but Isn't he about 2 inches taller than Fix (5'3" vs 5'5") I could look this up but then I'd actually have to do some work during working hours

Maybe, but he's pretty short. The height disadvantage might be as difficult to navigate as the weight cut at 125. Best bet is riding out to a win against RBY imo... Not that I think it will happen
