Central Michigan Dual
- Thread starter Judoka
- Start date
It really was. No gimmicks (though you saw him think about it once or twice). Just hitting his shot at wearing the guy down.
You did good work. Starting watching at end of tanners match. I'll take the credit for the rest winning out. Spoons first period was poor, IMO. I thought he could do more. Dane did what Dane does, pleasant surprise there. Marcus needs to open up and get in shape. Q wrestled very well. Looked like CMs heavy thought about a lateral and that led to Qs first TD.
Was at the dual today. So didn't have to keep up on CF. probably the case for a lot of normal posters here.
Earl was Earl. Would love to see him come out pushing the action and just dominate but apparently that's not his mo.
Boston fought hard against a tough opponent considering how far up he's wrestling at 41. Definitely not mad at him after that match.
Briceno came out like a lightning bolt but was a little too amped and got caught. Would much rather see somebody get caught like that than lose because they're content not doing anything. Hopefully Blayne can find a balance between being aggressive but not being careless at the same time.
Nardo needs to wrestle all the time like he did the last minute of this one. I know the guy he was up against is no slouch but he would have won if he didn't wait until the last minute to go after him. I don't think there are a lot of guys who can defend him consistently if he pushes hard from the get go.
Tanner did Tanner things.
Lelund was awesome and got me back on the Spoon train. Hadn't given up on him by any means but haven't been very high on him lately. Loved seeing him wrestle with some attitude and hope he keeps that same mentality going forward.
My Dane man crush continues to grow.
Marcus will be a beast when he's actually in wrestling shape. He better have been really gassed at least because that was hard to watch. Gotta give him credit for holding on late when he looked half dead though.
Quean looked good. Probably the best I've seen him yet.
Definitely a tale of two halves in this one. At intermission, I was feeling the same way I did at the end of the K State football game and I don't need to tell you how terrible that feeling is. By the end I was back to feeling pretty optimistic and now I'm just really confused. I worry that a lot of the major problems (little to no riding ability, getting owned on bottom, gassing out/no aggression at the end of matches) will never change until somebody new takes over but I still see enough potential that I'm not sure a change should be made. Don't want to start a KJ debate just sharing where I'm at right now.

Very happy for Lelund, and the entire team obviously. Hopefully they can get 149 figured out. KJ seemed unusually displeased with Briceno in the post-meet conference. Obviously he got stuck, but it wasn't like he went out there and was totally incompetent.
I think Boston wins that match if he was anywhere close to a true 141 pounder. Had a good scoring opportunity in the first but just got outmuscled.

Nice win today! That was the best I've seen us wrestle in a long time. Even the guys that lost showed fight! Hopefully we build on this momentum.
I'm just waiting to hear about how UNI is building great things and it's easy to see based on how we both competed against CMU this weekend.
I was under the impression they had already built those great things... Definitely was shown from my post on the comparison.
