Pinnacle

There probably is a case like this that I can't remember, but when is the last time a guy who transferred precisely because he could not beat his team mate then later beat that former team mate at NCAAs?

It was not the most exciting fight to say the least, but no doubt in my mind that Bo actually won it even if in a boring fashion. Fans want dominance and he did not deliver it. Its like when you want a juicy T Bone and get spam instead.

I hear they are having a tussle in Madison Square Garden. Gotta go check that out.

Let's Get Ready to Rumble! Carter Starocci vs Parker Keckheisen Period 1. No points, but Starocci controlled the action. Keckheisen was backing up. Period 2. Starocci chooses down. Starocci got to his feet and gets the esc. Keckheisen on an outside single. Tries to convert but they go OOB. That was a good shot. Now Carter on a low single and comes up thru the legs and its PD. Keck slow to get back to center. Starocci pulling on the head, moving forward. Underhook, but nothing. Starocci continuing forward, but nothing. Still 1-0 after 2. Period 3. Keckheisen chooses down. Cratre rides for 15 seconds before action goes OOB. Both wrestlers fighting hard. One for an esc, the other to keep control. Keckheisen gets out for the ESC. 1-1 now. Anyone's match to win. 50 seconds remain. Each wrestlers shoots, but neither converts. 32 seconds left. Keckheisen is s l o w to come back for the re start. It ends 1-1. Going to SV. SV. Carter shoots. Keck counters. Still nothing. Carter in deep, trying to pull the leg in and he sucks it in and drives over the leg for the TD!! Carter Starocci wins 4-1!

That pic of Farrah will do. Just saying.

Levi Haines vs Cade Devos Period 1. Haines shoots. Nothing. Wrestlers trying up. Devos tries a shot but blocked. Nothing. Haines pushing forward. Haines reaches but nothing. Haines shoots yet again. Nothing. But stall warning. 0-0 after 1. 2nd Period. Haines chooses down. Haines up and he turns and gets the esc. 1-0. Haines again shoots but they go OOB. Blood clean up for a Devos nose bleed. Action starts. Haines pushing forward. Another stall warning. 2-0. Haines keeps pressuring. Devos backing up. Now circling, but Haines carrying all the action. A late shot drives Devos off the mat, but nothing. 2-0 after 2 periods. 3rd Period. Devos chooses down. Haines riding but gets high and nearly goes to his back, but now he is back on top with a power half sunken in and Devos flattened out on his belly. Oh my, they re start things. RT is established. Haines settles in on top and they re start. Haines breaks him down and tries to turn and gets Devos turned near the end for 4 near fall + RT. It ends 7-0 for Haines.

The pics are bring back memories. Oh my.

Great, great action. Peyton Hall finally winning by FALL.

5-3 match after 2, but could have more points with these scrambles.

Nice scramble

A former LA Rams football player once played a 1970s era TV cop named Hunter, but Hunter is basically a nerd name now, amirite?

Keller finally out. 3-2 now, but 3 min of RT. Period ends. Kasak chooses down. Keller gets legs in. Kasak trying to turn back in for a reversal, but nothing.

Match ends at 4-1 for Mendez.

So true. I am referencing an old joke told by former PSU great Quentin Wright.

Yeah, but he can dead lift like 700lbs.

They were watching the football game.

This internet user is now gonna White Knight Pykes for him White Knighting Internet Users for White Knighting Flo. Just own it for God's sake. You started all this when you F'd up.

I am aware. I just said it differently.

If true, that is journalistic malpractice of a kind.

So in other words, NIL is worth more than his MMA or WWE prospects.

When Perry was going thru his Pee Wee Herman phase?

The wheels on that bus go round and round.

Facundo seemed to lose his confidence a couple of years ago. His freestyle results combined with this win over Kasak might suggest he has turned a corner.

They should start at 197 and finish with Starocci vs Keckeisen.
