Kinda surprised mizz didn't throw a brick in carrs match to get KOT a breather, our staff should be prepared to do so if needed. I think the challenges are bs and take too long, but if it's the system abuse it til it's fixed.

Depends on how many challenges a team has left. Three strikes for the whole tournament.

Another thing I was thinking about with Yonger is I bet the first day, the pain tolerance was pretty easy. However after a full day of guys handfighting and yanking on the hands, it’s going to get worse and worse. You could also tell he didn’t want to fire off shots he normally does as that requires grip strength around the leg or ankle. He pretty much tried to keep it all upper body. Sucks, but he’s going to be a man on a mission next year and I would not want to wrestle him

Honestly, I think Yonger’s problem was more mental than physical. You can hear it in Dresser’s interview “he needs to learn to get back up.”

I went to semis last night and thought it was super interesting. Yonger was not out on the mat before the session warming up. All the rest of the guys were. Dresser also never came out into the floor for the entire session until Yonger’s match.

I made a comment if Dresser was out searching for Yonger similar to the famous Gable story when Barry Davis went AWOL.

It might not have been that epic, but I think Dresser was trying to get Yonger reeled back in to even wrestle.

[iastatefan1]

Frost taken down at end of 1st

 

[CY88CE11]

Crookham in deep again, this time able to finish. 3-0 Crook.

Frost putting on a ride

 

[CY88CE11]

Good ride from Frost so far. Accumulated 50 seconds of RT so far.

 

[CY88CE11]

Crook gets out with 58s of RT for Frost. 4-0.

 

[CY88CE11]

Frost gets in deep, but Crook is saved by the 2nd period whistle. Will take down in 3rd.

 

[CY88CE11]

Crook starting to wear down. Need to keep pressure on and get this tied.

 

[CY88CE11]

First stall on Crook.

 

[iastatefan1]

Frost loses 4 to 1

 

[TheCampanile]

Another staller.

 

[theshadow]

Frost drops a 4-1 decision to Crookham.

He'll go for 5th against Ragusin (MICH).

 

[CY88CE11]

Amazing that backing straight up for 2 periods earns you one stall call.

 

[CY88CE11]

Woods is running away again. Should be interesting.

 

[CY88CE11]

No neutral danger there?
