OH MY GOD

 

[BobPSU92]

SVN! Wow!

 

[backdrft76-1]

Byers having the coronary. "How do you do SHAYNE VAN NESSSS!!"

 

[Goggles Paisano]

 

[Pennstater55]

Atta boy SVN

 

[District 4]

**** okie state shane deserved that

 

[PUR158]

Were those Cowboy mat cleaners? Some real hustle cleaning up that blood, spotted Swiderski a good minute combined.

 

[pish69]

What a match!!!

 

[marylovesthelions]

They keep this up and Cael will age 20 years.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

I don't think the guys are making it exciting enough, I want more suspense. I don't feel like I'm going to die from a heart attack yet.

I am in my house, by myself. My kids are out and I am screaming at my screen.

 

[Sir Pin Alot]

Thank god my defibrillator is charged...used it twice already.

 

[Wilbur Kookmeyer]

Wow. Clutch.

 

[Goggles Paisano]

I am ready for some PJ

 

[The Pitchfork Rebel]

Byers having the coronary. "How do you do SVN!!"

So are we. Hoping Duke ends these nail biters.

 

[gpsu88]

Omg, you guys are giving me second hand heart attack with the comments! It’s great since I’m stuck working and can’t actually watch

 

[mcpat]

If all the matches today are like Luke’s… please tell my wife and kids I love them.

 

[Ruby Tues]

Damn skippy!!!!

 

[Junglekat]

SVN!!!!! Without the stoppages SVN wins that in regulation. Swiderski wanted to no parts of that pace.

 

[F7Mello]

**** yes!!! SVN!! Swiderski was exhausted

I have 91... Already dialed in

I like how our coaches pointed out blood they missed and made them clean it.

 

[SRATH]

Heard Steiber on the mat 3 broadcast yelling at the ref saying “he (Mendez) chased him around the mat the entire 3rd period. I’m trying to win the Hodge.”

Pretty goofy comment to make for a guy that sat in Paddy’s corner while Messenbrink chased him around all 3rd period (obviously giving him that instruction).

He may have something in his comp related to it

 

[Potterlion]

Not to count chickens, but SVN's semi-final match is imminently winnable and #2 Joy (who many thought was Van Ness' only competition here) just lost. Very nice. Just win and advance PSU, win and advance.

 

[Stevej]

That was some of the best going at it I've ever seen. Wow!

 

[RealMicah]

I’m going to have to double up on my blood pressure meds from these quarter finals

 

[zzs006]

These 157 quarters are ******* fire!! So good. I hate rooting for OkSt but I want Robideau to beat Larkin. Duke can smash Robideau I think. Probably Larkin too but he’s so long and funky it might give Pj some problems

 

[Reiterate]

Wow. Clutch.

Is slippery pete ok

 

[Tom McAndrew]

To folks complaining about the stalemate call in SV-1 (in SVN's match): those can be tough. As a ref, you try to give the wrestlers every opportunity to score points. But you're also aware in SV that situations where nobody can improve are just wasting precious time. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't, situation on making the call. FWIW, I thought the stalemate should have been called. But just as it was called SVN did clear his foot, and would have gotten the TD -- something you HATE to see as a ref, but you can't take back the call.

 

[RS17]

I thought I was watching freestyle with all the fake timeouts to get their guy a break.

 

[PAgeologist]

I don't think the guys are making it exciting enough, I want more suspense. I don't feel like I'm going to die from a heart attack yet.

I just took my blood pressure meds with Jameson.

 

[JA1339]

This wrestling action today is not for the feint of heart, holy smokes

Lionvision is great if you just want to listen discretely.

Thank god my defibrillator is charged...used it twice already.

I have a feelling that a few of these next matches won't be nearly as nerve wracking.

 

[Random4598375]

PJ, MM, and Levi should give your heart a break for a bit. LOL.

 

[OhioLion]

Great look at other Cael and Casey back stage watching Van Ness finish.

Thats why I came to camp alone. I can yell all I want and nobody will hear me.

Luv ya, but now is NOT the time to be rationale

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Got through the part of the lineup where Ok State might have a bit of an advantage overall only losing a point to them (difference between Jax’s 1.5 bonus points and Davis’ 1/2 point

 

[ccdiver]

Can’t wait until somebody who knows how to do it does the Byers audio-video synch!!!

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

PJ is going to take it to Cannon.
