2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

Awesome match by Levi. Controlled the pace, kept minto on the boundary the entire match.

 

[Hotshoe]

Levi Haines, "it don't matter, a bucks a buck."

 

[El_Jefe]

Levi with one last sh**-eating grin while getting his hand raised. Really gonna miss him at this level. But huge potential on the senior circuit as a 21-yo senior world silver. Onward and upward!

BTW, he wrestled a masterful freestyle match in a folkstyle national final. Held center, claimed ground, stalked his opponent, effective shot selection ... just a clinic of a match.

 

[Efejle]

Damn I am gonna miss that kid. Old school typical small town Pennsylvania kid, the kind only our state can produce.

 

[ElDuce]

What a great career Levi!

 

[PSUgriff]

Mesenbrink 3x champ and Levi 2x AA…. Atta boy Quint

 

[Lionz_den]

Thank you, Levi!

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Has anyone ever met Levi Haines’ father? He seems like someone I would like sharing a beer with

 

[Sloepoke20]

Quint just called Levi a 2X AA?!

Quint doesn’t know his *** from a hole in the ground.

 

[District 4]

Mitchel doesn't do push ups he pushes the earth down lol

 

[Parks22]

Yolo chance for a turn.

Or only lose on an escape and not get taken to his back..

 

[PSUcup]

Congrats Levi on an amazing career. You’ll be missed !!!!

 

[Misalorales]

This match is the match. Rocco has something inside of him. 3 SV wins to make the finals a few years ago. Multiple SV or tie breaker victories over all the good guys this year. A gutsy come back over fishback. One more time Rocco.

Im not sure I’d offer to be the one buying, I think he could financially damage you.

Or having your back in any subsequent bar brawl!

 

[Still in State Colllege]

That was the one I wanted. Love seeing Sr's go out on top.

 

[RBOld]

I love Ironhead but the way he says "period" drives me nuts. It's like pee-ree-uh-duh

 

[Shifty15]

Hes a cocky *******. As most of them are.

Very arrogant

 

[pish69]

Congrats Levi!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[trufan]

Burroughs gave a lot of respect to Levi this tourney.

 

[jp99FFPA]

Anyone else see Levi and the Nebraska coaches ‘chatting’ at the end? It didn’t look friendly unless I’m mistaken.

 

[LittleJ]

On trophy bucks…..Ah it dont matter a buck is a buck. Gonna miss Levi. Thanks to him!

 

[tzinger]

Levi is like zain they are just country strong and full of grit I'm going to miss him

Apple Country Strong!

 

[El_Jefe]

ESPN really should do this segment with Couzens and Burroughs seated. Burroughs looks like he's about 4' 10" by comparison, lol.

 

[District 4]

Most employers have EAP's where you can get like 5 free counseling sessions.

I'm self employed and my wife doesn't want to hear it lol

 

[NittanyChris]

Thank tou to a ref not afraid to call stalling. Minto was in reverse until 30 seconds left.

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

Is President Trump making an appearance tonight? He is usually in attendance

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Welsh - McEnelly should be quite a battle

 

[RBOld]

Common strategy for most Penn State opponents: lots of head slaps and staying away, hoping for a close 3rd period.

Then they make their charge with 30 seconds left and always force a stall call on PSU. Meanwhile it took the ref two minutes to hit Minto in the first.

 

[Efejle]

Next year in St Louis I think we will see the exact same match in the 174 final, except it will be Henckel beating Minto 2-1

Mesenbrink 3x champ and Levi 2x AA…. Atta boy Quint

Quit has a difficult, thankless job at this tournament, and he is quite bad at it.

 

[JakkL]

How long is intermission?

 

[johnstownsteel]

Damn I am gonna miss that kid. Old school typical small town Pennsylvania kid, the kind only our state can produce.

Funny you say that. I was in middle of nowhere yatesboro the other day and was thinking how that little strip of houses produced one of the greatest college wrestlers of all time.

 

[JoeBagobagels]

I'm self employed and my wife doesn't want to hear it lol

Same here, she just loves my random days off because of reasons.

 

[Efejle]

Has anyone ever met Levi Haines’ father? He seems like someone I would like sharing a beer with

Pretty sure he's drinking more than one

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[marylovesthelions]

Into danced until the last 40 seconds. What can be done to make kids attempt a takedown.

Thought Minto shoulda got hit with two stall calls in the 1st

His tactics are why a lot of people who tune in are turned off if they do not know the sport. Dancing is not sport.

ESPN really should do this segment with Couzens and Burroughs seated. Burroughs looks like he's about 4' 10" by comparison, lol.

Who has the audio on ESPN? Not me.

 

[PSUcup]

Let’s effin go Rocco

 

[SkiSkiSki]

As someone else has said the PSU fatigue is real. Its not that they win, it's how they win. It is so dominate it's almost not believable. Like it or not we are the new age Hawkeye's.

I like it!
