Cool I get MSG network, thanks for the heads up. I was looking at the Rutgers Athletic site and thought I was S.O.L. because I refuse to pay for Flo.

Would expect to see some bench wrestlers get some action today. Hofstra is a total pushover so good opportunity to get some wrestlers some rest before B1Gs.

Wasn't there a time Hofstra was a top college program?

I had a frat brother was on the team there. 2 serious knee injuries later, his career was over, and he transferred.

His claim to fame was wrestling Dan Gable at a camp. He said he had 2 chances, slim and none and slim left thru the nearest door.

Not top but pretty damn good, when Tom Ryan the current OSU coach was there. He had like 11 AA's.

Funny thing is the year after Ryan left they had their best finish ever, 7th in NCAA's. He put that team together but that was when the NCAA had teeth and no free transfers. In today's game, OSU would have bought 4 of those guys and they would have gone with him. A run like that for a small school will never happen again.

Smith's going to lose he has 9 secs to get out and kid has no stalls.
Yeah I understand the riding time rule but situations like this essentially promote stalling. Hofstra kid should have been banged for stalling during the first sequence on top and then should have been banged again for running around the last 5 seconds. No ref is gonna call that though.

Hofstra has only won 3 meets this year. They beat Sacred Heart, Morgan State, and LIU. Hope we don’t get anyone hurt tonight.

I’m assuming Chapman can still keep his redshirt despite this match. I thought the rule was 5 dates that had to be first semester? Rule must have changed or I must not remember it correctly.
