MATCH THREAD: #12 RU @ #14 Illinois, 2 pm, BTN +, matchups:

[Abro1975]

Santos down 3-1 after 2nd

 

[koleszar]

Did he just say "Home Players"?

 

[R U Crazy]

Santos almost gets TD at end...loses 3-2

 

[Abro1975]

149 | Nick Santos almost connects on the single leg at the end, but Barone holds on for the 3-2 decision. No. 14 Illinois 12, No. 19 Rutgers 3

 

[koleszar]

Yea a starter.[banana]

 

[Abro1975]

157 | Van Brill gets turned, as Langenderfer now leads 7-3 after the near fall at the end of two. Van Brill bottom with 1:23 of RT in period three.

 

[Abro1975]

Van Brill is wrestling like he is sick.

 

[Abro1975]

157 | No. 17 John Van Brill drops a tight 8-6 decision to Kyle Langenderfer. No. 14 Illinois 15, No. 19 Rutgers 3.

 

[koleszar]

Why not let him go once you have riding time? This one is going splendidly.

 

[R U Crazy]

Lucky Donner....probably wishes they brought cupid of blitzen instead

 

[rondi]

Guess JBV’s strategy was to get back points...ugh

Go RU!

[Andman1025]

Why are we throwing out the club team today?

 

[ScottRU93]

Should have just gone home after Northwestern. I have zero respect for Richie Lewis. He will not AA. Has no cajones.

 

[RUTrack94]

Oh well ... I know RU is in the B1G and this is Wrestling, but it sucks to have another team with a losing conference record.

 

[ScottRU93]

Shame is Deluca could have won this one easily.

 

[Kenwood1]

This is a disgrace

Yeah a starter.[banana]

Ya know I said weeks ago when he wen

Lucky Donner....probably wishes they brought cupid of blitzen instead

check it out ..back when this 165 switch was done I said RL would dodge this match ..Deluca misses weight again ..just my opinion but this team takes a step forward then two steps back .. this is not good ...sick is one thing ..real injuries too but missing weight and just deciding to not wrestle like he did at loch haven ..shoot me if you want but this ain't good

 

[RUTrack94]

On the bright side today ... RU WBB leads UM by 7 at the half

 

[Abro1975]

165 | No. 2 Isaiah Martinez wins by TF over Brett Donner.

 

[koleszar]

Hey look another starter. They're a rare breed around these parts today.

 

[ScottRU93]

Coaches really need to re-evaluate the program and decide who gets schollie $ typos of recruits we go after etc. overall this is a disappointing season with or without Ashnault.

 

[Abro1975]

Will Goodale sent out a sub for the post match presser? lol. Who does he send? Donny? Pollard? Leo?

 

[rufeelinit]

I don’t get the weight stuff with this team. You would think they could more closely monitored when on the road yet the issues seem worse. Is there a lack of discipline that needs to be addressed here?

 

[koleszar]

So basically we're going to war here without 5 of 10 starters. That's just wonderful. So glad I rushed home to watch this one. I guess the only good thing is no intermission for their 50 fans.

 

[ScottRU93]

At least the announcer knows wrestling. Better then those Nebraska’s announcers who were awful and our guy who calls escapes reversals

 

[rondi]

Geesh...board becoming unreadable again. Did any of you have the flu??? Ever think MAYBE there are circumstances beyond their control. Wrestlers want to wrestle. **** happens. Chances are if one is sick, others are sick/not feeling well.

Have faith & put away your pitch forks. Better yet, turn it off & go have a drink. Geesh.

Go RU!

We also have the score, timing and got to watch the opening forfeit unlike Northwestern. So there are some positives.

 

[Abro1975]

Grello wins 6-2.

Let’s face it ..those two are in their own world ..they don’t give a rats *** about team ..I don’t care if he is all world or whatever he won .. he is all about himself ..when people say weeks ago and I saw it as well and when it’s been talked about in the stands that he would dodge this match and it actually happens ..that’s all I need to know about the kid .. no heart ...you wanna be the best ya gotta beat the best and he hasn’t got a prayer with his worK ethics and lack of heart ..he goes up a weight since he didn’t wanna do the work to stay at 157 ...now he dodges Imar ..coaches need to re-evaluate who they bring in from now on ...

 

[KidDagger]

i see our answer at 197 next year

 

[Harleyr1]

i see our answer at 197 next year

Who?

 

[Abro1975]

184 | Willie Scott drops a close 4-3 decision to No. 6 Emery Parker.

 

[KidDagger]

Who?

Willie Scott had a really good showing there against #6 wrestler

 

[RUTrack94]

On the bright side today ... RU WBB leads UM by 7 at the half

Lead down to 3 in the 4th ...

 

[RUTrack94]

Lead down to 3 in the 4th ...

Down to 1

 

[Abro1975]

197 Anthony Messner defeats Andre Lee, 4-3, with RT!

 

[koleszar]

Alright Messner . Congrats on your 1st win. Way to go kid.[thumb2][cheers]

 

[rondi]

Could someone explain hand lock to me? I see hand locks with no points & then with points. It is position?

Go RU!
Diane

 

[RUTrack94]

Nice run ... up by 6 ... avoid the RU brain fart, ladies!

 

[koleszar]

It's all position. You can't lock hands while a wrestler is still considered on the mat. When both wrestlers are considered standing it's not locked hands and legal. A wrestler also can't drop to his knees to cause a locked hand situation.

I think the leadership on this team is sorely lacking. Nick is our best wrestler, he leads by example... Richie Lewis... probably not the guy you want people mimicking. No one else on the team has the bonafides to hold the rest of them accountable.
