I’m already pumped about next season.
***2024 NCAA Wrestling - Session 6/FINALS (Sat., 6:00)***
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
Wonder if Brooks was secretly rooting for DC over his own teammate…
I was in the stands and the announcer didn’t announce Ben Aksren as the medal “giver”.
It's almost as if they assumed one of his guys would be the winner.
yeah, if Bastida wins that quarterfinal match he gets 7 more points..and Davidson doesn’t get to the finals. That was the difference in our tournament. But I am pumped for the future, is everyone returning next year except for Will and David?
Neither did his semi match against KOT.
David Carr, an eventual 2 time National Champ and 5 time AA was treated like an afterthought in both matches.
It was offensive and disgusting.
I was wondering that as well.
DC seemed very close to the Brooks family.
Also, that single leg by Brooks was incredible.
Such an amazing feat of strength and determination.
So what you're saying is we were 15 seconds away from finishing 2nd...sigh...
3... Three seconds.
Or 18 inches of mat.
Or 1 knuckle.
And that's just one wrestler.
I think Chittum, Swid, and Gaitan each had some opportunities as well.
Sooooo close to breaking through and next year looks even better.

Where do we make up DC's 20? Group effort from the 3 listed?
Finally watching the match. Penn State coaches calling for stalling repeatedly while David is doing mat returns likely influenced the refs to call so many asinine stalling calls during the match. Calling stalling on David for being pushed out of bounds as he came out of an escape at the edge of the mat is ridiculous. Nobody that isn't wrestling a Penn State wrestler gets called for that. Then the cherry on top. He gets a stalling call for going forward into a shot that results in a takedown. What. In. The. Actual. ****. The refs absolutely tried to steal this from David. If this was heavily bet on, there might be an investigation. I was very impressed with Mesenbrink's talent. He's not 1 point shy of DC yet, but a very solid freshman that will be trouble for the next 3 years. DC should've won by 3-4 points. The announcers were weird AF. David was clearly the better wrestler.
Yonger. Then Frost, Ech, Casey, Cody, etc. will just add onto that.
Will in his blood round match , man I thought he had won that
Yonger.
Carr's replacement at 165 just needs to make up Yonger's 5.5 points from this year.
It feels like you don’t have a clue who the commentators are and how much respect they have for David Carr… I had to reward the match and listen to see if I missed something but that commentary was very fair and just wrestling talk. They did fine and weren’t wrong that Mitchell was trying to push the pace and David needed to be careful with his actions. DC also brought up the bogus stall calls and how David would have a scoring gap without those.
What was up with the Penn St. kid doing the finger wag at Carr towards the end of the 2nd period? I don't know anything about wrestling, but that kid seemed like a lil' b!tch.
Yeah I am going to say based on the reactions to my post compared to yours, I do think I know. And I know exactly who was calling the matches tonight. I’ve followed wrestling and the MMA world for 25 years.
