CHROMEBIRD

Yeah I meant I was told that the replays might move off of + and over to 3 maybe after they've been sufficiently monetized?

Wow. I had to look this guy up. Not only did he step away from college to serve in the military for 6 years, he came back and wrestled Hodge, scored on him, and avoided getting pinned!

If you like Purdue's mat, you'll love the colors of the AFA's mat. Very easy on the eyes and the logo in the center is less distracting than Purdue's.

I thought Haines resembled Jason Welch in many ways until he launched Robb yesterday. That was a surprise to see.

I can't see KOT getting the 2 after getting pinned, but he better not get the 4.

Holy crap, no wonder he thought you knew it!

Did he cut n binge or was he actually sick? The former would help make a case for matside weigh-ins.

One more question, does anyone know if replays of Nationals will be available on ESPN3 on demand? I'm guessing not but have heard that last weekend's conference tournaments may eventually be available on ESPN3.

Wait what?

I wouldn't be too mad if Hamiti gets seeded above O'Toole (and I'm a KOT fan). To Hamiti's credit, he's wrestled a lot more matches and bulldozed his way through the Big Ten 165 field, which is no walk in the park. I think KOT's LBF last night will make it easier to give Hamiti the #2 spot.

I forgot about the mission kids. Off the top of my head, Matt Brown might have been up there too when he AA.

Good point. Griffith does his best work when people doubt him.

Who are the oldest wresters in recent memory to AA? I figure someone here must know this. I'll be rooting for Micky "Old Man Strength" Phillippi to get past R12 at Nationals and AA this year. He was born in April 1997 and will be a few weeks short of his 26th birthday. Not that it's a given, but I would like to see it happen. Has there been anyone older on the podium?

KOT mentioned that Carr's arm length gave him problems the first time they wrestled. I'm now doubtful that he will be able to scramble with Hamiti.

I think the PA guys are helping to evolve the Iowa Style of wrestling. Arguably guys like Kemerer, ADS, Murin have changed the way Iowa wrestles through scramble situations while also adding to their own forward motion offensive style. But it is strange to see the Hawkeye faithful cheer on a funky funk guy like Siebrecht, who wrestles much more like a PSU guy than Iowa. Put him in any other color singlet and he would get booed out of CHA. On the other hand PSU has Max Dean who looks like he came right out of the Hawkeye wrestling room.

Coming soon, the 11 longest days of our lives. Nationals is gonna be wild.

Carr for Hodge!

Yeah, I couldn't believe how easily Carr was getting to KOT's legs! Dude made it look easy.

I... was not expecting anyone to beat KOT twice this season. And by a pin, no less. My jaw is on the floor.

HOLY HELL CARR WITH THE PINFALL IN SV

Carr impressive getting to KOT's legs tonight. In on double, waterfall, scrables, to one leg, working close to OOB, scrambling scrambling, Carr with KOT's leg shelved, trying to bring action inboungs, cradle locked. 2 Carr!

Carr running, :15 left, another stall against Carr! 3-3! Time runs out, SV

KOT up to his feet, stall warning Carr, KOT out, 3-2, on their fee, :30 left

TD stands, 3-1 Carr, KOT onbottom with :50 left

These reviews are the worst. Let's goooooo already
