CHROMEBIRD

The upsets are simultaneously wild and not at all surprising

Oops

Alirez like

It was bound to happen to Deaug the way he likes to wrestle such close matches

Down goes Deaugustino in SV

Deaugustino's funk is crazy.

Cardinale looks off a step. Dude is part man, part bandage.

Not a lot of real estate around the mat edges. How soon before the first wrestler goes crashing through the scorer's table?

Let's gooooooooooo...!

Predictions on last match for finals?

I'll take Kaylor grinding one out in SV on Friday morning.

I heard a story that Taylor hugged Dietrich at weigh-ins to size him up and see if he could get his arms around him. Lee should help Dietrich with his coat before the match to see if he could get his bar arm series in.

I don't know if that's a fair conclusion. Seeding by nature is biased and creates matchup gaps where the higher seed is likely to advance. One example, if someone who should be a 10 seed gets the 8, he would face the #25, 9/24, and 1/16/17/32/33 seeds on the frontside. If he got the 10 seed, he could run into the 2, 3, 6, 7, and/or 11.

Carter said he doesn't want to be a 5-timer. If he and Brooks win 4 they will certainly be among the best PSU wrestlers of all time but here's where we need to invoke some qulitative factors. I would put Nolf above them for the sheer creativity he brought to his matches and the way he put up points. Taylor's offensive pace and chain wrestling. Cassar for his expectations coming in and how he finished. Then you have Ruth and Nickal who make CarStar and Brooks look downright boring. Starocci much moreso than Brooks.

Spencer Lee vs. Wilfried Dietrich. Assume both are fully healthy. Who wins in folk? Who wins in Greco?

Glory +30 Saturday but he won't be in the finals.

Steen is wrestling at NCAAs??

Looks like Robles got demoted again with Burroughs on the main broadcasts. Shane Sparks would actually do a much better job with the dreaded after match interviews than Quint. Not that he exactly would want to do it.

125 Lee 133 Teske 141 Woods 149 Murin 157 Haines 165 Kennedy 174 Brands 184 Assad 197 Warner Hwt Cassiopi I would not be terribly upset to see Medley, Vito, Alirez, Yahya, Gfeller, O'Toole or Griffith, Lewis, Munoz, Beard, and Parris win it all though.

Say what?!

His name would be Carter Snapple

But really, truly, honestly, for reals? Level with me.

And RBY has been shuffle dancing on the internets!!

149 Yianni to Murin or Paniro

While it is strange to be looking ahead to next season right now, it's a fair topic for discussion during the dead period!
