***NCAA Wrestling: Session 1 (Thu., 11:00)***
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
I saw it differently. Sam worked hard, a lot harder than his opponent in the first period, but he was not well rewarded. Up only 2-1 after 1. He pushed hard in the second but I think started managing his energy as it was clear his opponent was waiting for him to tire out and then put on his push in the third. I hate that approach to wrestling - sit back for two periods and then push hard in the 3rd when you hope your opponent is fatigued. I wish the rule on stalling was clearer. If a guy doesn't go for a TD across a whole period, that should be automatic stalling. In any event, Sam was outweighed by a fair margin, but was clearly the better wrestler, so I thought he did fine.
So officially for tonight
133: Redding vs #3 Arujau (Cornell).
141: Swiderski vs #25 Ferrante (Penn), if he wins he gets the loser of #7 Cornella (Cornell) and #10 McNeil (UNC)
149: Johnson vs #12 Van Ness (Penn State)
157: Kraisser vs #24 Askey (App State), if he wins he gets the loser of #7 Andonian (VT) and #10 Gfeller (Okie State)
165: Carr vs #17 Yant (UNI)
184: Coleman vs #12 Assad (Iowa)
285: Schuyler vs #9 Davison (Northwestern)

Would rather have an ugly win than a pretty loss.
This.
And we have several guys who are going to be feeling a lot better tonight, or about 10 hours after weigh ins.
So, by seeds, we are looking to go 4-2 on the front side and 1-1 on the backside, so 5-3, with Kraisser dropping out. I think we go 6-2 and Kraisser stays alive. But seriously we have a great shot at going 7-1. Let's bring it, boys!
Is this a line from that movie with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson?
I mean…no ****.
I hope Andonian plants Gfeller (for many, many reasons).
About to start beer drinking for the day. Had to rehydrate this morning from last night

I won’t say stupid $$$$ if people wouldn’t piss and moan about a win. That is the epitome of stupid $$$$. Some people don’t realize some styles aren’t ideal for other wrestlers. They make for ugly matches.
Pretty sure this exact same thing happened last year. Good for UNI, hope they do well. They don’t have the horses to hang around for long.

God I love dresser, this is spot on!
"Sh*t it's a lot harder as a coach it was easy as a wrestler. As a coach you gotta live and die 8x a round. I don't know whether to go work out or take a nap."
LMAO. He is all of us!!!
Paniro took down & Ohio kid assumed he wasn’t going to ride, so let him go & get the free escape point
