Same, I was expecting him to take a nap from top, per usual

Yes, why am I sweating rn? lol

LFG!

Def think Carr will get to MM's legs at will. Just not sure who wins the scrambles

It would be like picking songs for a mixtape

I think Carr can match MM's pace, and Mes could lose the match if he doesn't wrestle a strategic match. He's prone to cutting opponents or giving up a TD late in the period

I predict Fix will have deserved it more

Need to see Vito do it again tonight w/ Fix!

So, PSU needs to win 4/6 tonight to beat the scoring record? They could get it done with at least 3 wins w/ bonus or 2 wins by tf or better (someone check my math here). Imo, the odds of Penn State's finalists bonusing from most to least likely: Haines (v. Teemer) Brooks (v. Hidlay) Starocci (v. Welsh) Kerk (v. Davison) MM (v. Carr) Bartlett (v. Mendez) Not sure I see 3 bonuses happening. I think PSU is going to have to crown at least 4 champs to get over 170. Which is actually looking plausible.

I feel like DC has a lot of personal opinions that he really wants to get off his chest, so he ends up talking over others and jamming them into the convo. The rest of the time he's just kinda fukkin around and having a good time, and it's like watching the matches with a buddy. I actually think DC would be really good at Quint's job. Grabbing the wrestlers after a match and chit chatting with them a lil bit. I think he'd enjoy it, too

The conference uncertainty makes me nervous about UALR's kids transferring... or does the school have a new home conference already set? Bailey's a hot candidate since he's so young, but I think Iowa is in pretty good shape with the Ayalas at lightweight

I assume it would be a grad transfer, but Hendrickson told one of the ESPN guys that he was planning on entering some kind of acquisitions program at AF next year. Maybe he can defer it, idk.

It's like he was trying to be humble and show good sportsmanship throughout the tournament to rehab his brand, but opened the Twitter app and couldn't stfu for a just few more hours

Same with DeAug

Nice analysis. If you're Ayala and Figs chooses bottom, do you try to ride him out? I think Figs might have an edge on his feet but Ayala will prob wrestle from one knee to slow him down. I think Drake can get out from underneath

Sounds like the setup to an epic self-clowning

No.

Are there more TFs than last year though?

Vito walking Crooham back to center mat and pointing at the line was a boss move.

Finalists who haven't qualified for OTTs yet: Ayala Figueroa Mendez Henson Haines Teemer Carr Welsh Starocci Keckeisen Kerkvliet Davison

125 - Ayala dec Figs 133 - Vito dec Fix 141 - Bartlett dec Mendez 149 - Gomez maj Henson 157 - Haines dec Teemer 165 - Mes dec Carr 174 - Rocci dec Rocco 184 - PKeck maj Plott 197 - Hidlay dec Brooks 285 - Kerk dec Davison With Ayala's title, the Hawks finish ahead of ISU

The crowd was on Fix earlier in the tournament also for his s t a l l i n g

Didn't JB confirm it on the broadcast?

I just couldn't believe KOT gassed. Very insightful comment from JB early in the match about recognizing your own strengths, with O'Toole being the better wrestler/scrambler and Carr being the better athlete/physically stronger.

Kenney, JB, DC on the horn again? Or are they bringing in DT or someone to do color?
