Robideau was the superior wrestler in that match. And to think Taylor was the defending national champion

 

[TheJimReaper]

Chris Barnes his senior year I believe never gave up a takedown.

Jordan Oliver did it his senior year I’m pretty sure.

 

[Chris 15]

This is as great of an event as you can watch on ESPN. It’s got everything. So proud of the Pokes!

**** Taylor, threw his ankle straps at Landon. Take the loss, *****.

Takes after Manning and their other coaches. He better be glad it wasn’t worse. Thats as close as the score could have been today imo

Mesenbrink is unreal

Mesenbrink is unreal

He wants the OW and he knows who is wrestling the last match.

Mike Sheets, Jr. 1983, 0 offensive points scored on him all year. Outstanding Wrestler

Went out on a big limb there.

Damn guys…you go to coach FIRST, then family.

He will get it. Some think he got screwed last year.

Sergio beat a 2 time National Champion and a big part of that was Mendez did not wrestle his match because he might have been afraid of Sergio's scrambling and cradle and so never took a 100% shot. Sergio is so cool, instinctive, and deadly and won this match like he wins all of his tough matches.

Their Freshmsn. I’ll give em some slack.

McEnelly upsets Welsh!!!

Good call @TheJimReaper!

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Another Pedo goes down! Great job, McEnelly!

 

[Old Number Nine]

Another PSUer bites the dust

 

[cowboy79]

Is that the third #1 seed to go down so far?

Cody going to have a huge challenge in the next match. Certainly the hardest of our 4

 

[fasteddie]

Rent free.

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Biggest challenge for us coming up next. Come on, Panda! Get the upset!

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP-CLAP-CLAP

 

[SUPERPOKES]

You know we’re starting to get in their head! If Panda can pull off the upset, you know they’ll be feeling the heat and the nation will know we’re coming!

Landon is just tough and despite not getting the takedown when he had the leg up for 2 minutes Taylor looked like he was going to get out of the ride and Robideau is quick he caught him on his back and got the 2 which was big and won him the match. Great defense, got the escape, stalling point and that was match. Taylor deserved to go down.

 

[CowboyMedic]

Merrill lost but forced Barr to wrestle. No bonus points.

 

[tulsaaggie]

Wow guy that beat Panda is a sophomore

 

[Wally12]

That’s alright, great season by Panda. Wrestled Barr closer than anyone.

 

[Atrain83]

Merrill lost but forced Barr to wrestle. No bonus points.

He didn’t do a thing as evidenced by the ref telling him Barr took every shot.

 

[trapped_in_tx]

He didn’t do a thing as evidenced by the ref telling him Barr took every shot.

Then why didn’t Barr win by his customary 8 point margin?

Complaining even after your guy won

 

[soonerbd]

Merrill lost but forced Barr to wrestle. No bonus points.

He had absolutely nothing for Barr. Stalled his *** around the mat the whole match lol

 

[chasepollard]

Yeah, Barr really lit up the scoreboard

 

[Atrain83]

Then why didn’t Barr win by his customary 8 point margin?

Complaining even after your guy won

Would have respected Merrill more if he tried to win. What exactly was his plan? Grab fingers and hope to get to ride outs?

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Cody wrestled smart, but once Barr got that first period takedown, you knew it was going to be nearly impossible for Panda to win.

 

[CowboyMedic]

Would have respected Merrill more if he tried to win. What exactly was his plan? Grab fingers and hope to get to ride outs?

We dont want to your respect. We just want to take away your wrestlers 100% bonus rate which Panda did. Good day sir! Go enjoy your title because we're coming for it next year.

A sooner talking wrestling is laughable…..
