I was wrong. Surber for the tech fall!

This has the feeling of a solid decision by Surber over Knopp. Somewhere in the realm of a 7-2 score.

That last club was vicious from Fishback

Fishback has a chance against Plott. He's no favorite, but definitely has a chance.

He had plenty after the whistle lol

I interpret it is ESPN voicing, not so passively, that they do not believe that riding time should be a thing. Using their influence very strategically

Cam Amine feels like the Beau Bartlett for the Cowboys in the sense of - the most conservative guy on the team and least likely to score bonus in a standard match. Bartlett being higher ranked in his respective weight class of course, with a non-zero chance of winning the title.

Since David Taylor arrived, the Cowboys have nearly matched the aggression of the Nittany Lions. A lot of good teams out there with guys who wrestle very conservatively. Leaves them vulnerable to an upset, IMO. If you truly believe yourself to be better than your opponent, you want to open up the match as much as possible so you have wrestling opportunities to demonstrate this belief. That philosophy resonates with me.

It offered us a chance for a new beverage /silver lining

Northern Iowa

I'm not really familiar with Tracy. he looks long for the weight

Hughes!

seems like the normal color to me. maybe you're developing a sophisticated palette of color preferences as you age.

Robinson is coffee-quick. Spratley with a strength advantage, but NC State takes the first match in an upset!

Vincent Robinson is back wrestling! This should be a close match

I'll take "When will the rest of the Intermat Wrestling Forums pronounce Josh Barr as the next big thing?, Alex"

it was Justin Ruffin from Edwardsville that had to drop out from injury

I think while it may be tempting to laugh at their expense, for a sport that is dying in numbers, we would be better served to be more inclusive to those that are trying to learn the sport.

Anecdotally, I remember Wyatt Sheets was a 33rd seeded AA

Couple thoughts on what it has made it a down year for me: 1. Duals don't matter anymore - only March (been happening for years, but feels like its reached a tipping point) 2. In season tournaments don't matter as much any more - only March (been happening for years, but feels like its reached a tipping point) 3. The team race in March has been decided for years - its Penn State. So with duals and in season tournaments rendered meaningless, and the final tournament already decided, you have to focus on individual weight classes to find an interesting narrative. Gable Steveson reentering college wrestling as the clear favorite also removes the excitement from one of the ten weight classes (as it seems obvious he will win). So we're down to 9 weight classes that we hope are not too one-sided. Or you could eagerly watch for which team will place in second. And then add to all of this - that in order to follow a team or to follow the most important in season activity, you need to subscribe to about five different services - many of whom have struggled with quality and reliability of broadcast.

unless they start at 157, and he has to come right off the scale, I will go ahead and favor Fish in that matchup (should be close). I see NC State as a favorite at 133, but not by much.

I think this sounds about right. There is a slight chance of a shutout

yes you can take the Broad Street Line (the orange one). Straight north from the stadium is basically where the actual downtown Philly is located so you'll find more to do around there.
