Bartlett and SVN definitely took their semis opponents lightly, they had Mendez/Lovett on their mind.

AJ = Absolute Joke

Who is a bigger clown? Arnold for calling out Starocci when he's barely a top-ten guy? Cassioppi for saying he was going to break the all-time pin record?

Is he giving a rose to his choice?

The most impressive thing about Barr is his ability to use his brain to perfectly manage a match.

If PSU's staff could coach up Cassar enough to beat him I have to think Kerk (who is better than Cassar) could at least make it interesting. And as i said before, if Kerk gets on top in the 3rd he might be able to put a ride on him.

I keep thinking that somebody might ride him.

The kids who don't know the rules are actually kind of funny. The only problem with it is if a casual/non-wrestling fan were to hear them they'd actually know less about the sport than if they muted it.

Sealey lost a squeaker in TB 2-1 to Ferrari who everybody talks about as the next big thing. If you give me two guys who are basically equal in HS and one goes to PSU and the other to Iowa I'm taking the PSU guy to have a better career 10 out of 10.

ESPN is able to post lineups and scores from EPL games even though they don't broadcast them. Flo/Track are supposed to be bringing wrestling to the masses and there are a grand total of two college events happening this weekend. All they had to do was call somebody and get the brackets.

Once again the powers that be are doing everything they can to keep fans in the dark. None of this makes any sense, Flo owns Track so why not just use one site for brackets and put somebody in charge who is at least marginally capable?

Henckel has been wearing PSU headgear. Busiello used to wear their singlet in offseason tourneys...

Wrestling is the only sport that puts an effort into making it hard on fans to watch it. Other than Nationals and conference tournaments they keep schedules under wraps. How many times are people on message boards asking when the next round begins or if consolations will run concurrent with the championship round? It's almost impossible to have an event streamed without some kind of issue. Best case scenario is that the stream works but if it does you can bet the farm that the clock/scores won't be shown for at least half of it. If the powers that be had their way we wouldn't even get schedules, they'd just have meets randomly and the only people who would know about them would be the coaches and teams. And then there's the secrecy around players changing weights and injuries. I love PSU but I'll never understand Cael's need for holding back any and all information. Does he actually think that announcing Brooks was moving to 197 in preseason would have hurt him?

It's so hard to predict how much they'll grow but it's not crazy to think they could line up Blaze at 141, Forest at 149 and Bassett at 157. Assuming Jax and Bo take redshirts they should have those spots ready for them. SVN has three years left and so does Facundo. The guy I'm worried about not getting a shot is Sealey which is the epitome of a first-world problem.
