I'm POOPED! Watching MM is unreal, and, tiring. He's non-stop! Can't wait for the final!
I’d be DQ’d if I wrestled MM. He persistence would have me taking a swing at him. Dang, that kid is nonstop!
Definitely fun to watch.
Definitely fun to watch.
Watching wrestling all day and night is hard work. I’ll sleep well tonight
Wow, David Carr with the TD with 12 sec left to upset #1 Keegan O'Toole, 8-6
So I guess O’Toole isn’t the best lb for lb wrestler
O'Toole just ran out of gas, and conceded that last-second takedown.
This tourney is over and we haven't even gotten to our two 3 Xers in the semi's yet.
If Mesenbrink can win tomorrow, we may be seeing the beginning of a historic career
Him and Truax both will be, yes, to find out where they are in the medal round tomorrow morning.
Love me some AB but if Starocci gets first in 174 it would be tough to ignore his grit and all.
Believe it is possible to lock up team championship with Starocci victory
It will be extremely brief if during a championship bracket PSU match (writing a live file and can't do both justice) but will do what I can yes.
I was just trying to do the math and then remembered doing this math is always impossible and I'll let the NCAA tell me when to post the graphic we had made yesterday. Lol.
