[ElDuce]

Max Dean is smiling somewhere

 

[Sunshine88!]

There we go. Nice

 

[Efejle]

Iowa City reduced to cheering because he didn't get pinned

 

[Sunshine88!]

Let’s Go PJ inflict Pain !

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

Block showed some game. Great to see the bow and arrow from Van Ness.

 

[Ruby Tues]

I’m noticing a lot of cliched fingers, I thought that was not allowed anymore.

Edit: and not just tonight

 

[zzs006]

Block is better than people are saying. Tough kid. Super long. That said, SVN is not great when guys get in on his legs. He gives up tds most others wouldn’t. He can usually score his way out of it so it isn’t a huge problem. It could bite him in the *** sometime though

 

[Pointingdogsrule]

If this is a “sell out” at CHA…. I’m Mary Poppins

Van Ness learn that move from Mitchell?that little reach across to the far leg is popular among the Askren Wrestling circles.

 

[Misalorales]

The bald dude on the Big ten broadcast couldn't even be mad he just smirked knowingly.

 

[GregPickel]

It’s going to be Williams for Iowa at 157.

 

[SleepyLion]

Wonder if any theories will surface on HR that the ref is for PSU since he is wearing blue.

after all those years wearing black...

 

[McScoreley]

I am a fan of Ryder Block.

His height and length is a gift and a curse. He was able to get to Shayne's legs pretty easily.

But on the flip side, a lot more limbs for Shayne to grab onto on top and his ankle was in close proximity for Shayne.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Boston crippler!

Nothing like Head Referine Dave Witvoet.

PJ with the Boston crab

Not a fan of that , he could have really hurt him. No one should be trying to break a guys back

 

[Bob_Anderson]

How bad must the twins hate Williams' shoes. Probably drives those boys crazy.

 

[PAgeologist]

If this is a “sell out” at CHA…. I’m Mary Poppins

They sold out to Big Bag Bob.

[Sunshine88!]

PJ Must Work on Angles big time.

 

[Hockeygod11]

PJ looking more hesitant this match

 

[ElDuce]

Williams does not want to wrestle.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I wouldn't make this challenge (in the Duke -Williams match). I didn't think exposure was for more than 5 sec.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[mcpat]

No Shane. Duke laced the leg AND Williams let go of his grip. We’re looking for a clean TD. Not a danger TD.

 

[Sunshine88!]

Williams is gonna Stall. PJ should let him up

 

[mcpat]

Boom! Quickness matters. 4-1 Duke

 

[Used2beerie]

No Shane. Duke laced the leg AND Williams let go of his grip. We’re looking for a clean TD. Not a danger TD.

A couple more seconds and it would have been 3.

 

[Misalorales]

That's the type of match that serves a young man well in March.

 

[mcpat]

No freshmen Carvered tonight

 

[Tom McAndrew]

13-3, PSU, at the intermission

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

Duke made him pay for the 1 and only shot Williams took.

 

[o_BruceK-PSU83]

Was Duke doing something illegal after the TD. The ref told Duke a couple times to "keep it legal".

 

[Efejle]

That's as close as Williams will ever get to Duke. Next time he gets majored.

 

[Misalorales]

Half way through we got 3 Iowa stalls and 2 Iowa takedowns.

 

[mcpat]

Was Duke doing something illegal after the TD. The ref told Duke a couple times to "keep it legal".

I think he has a warrant in Texas.

 

[Misalorales]

No freshmen Carvered tonight

I think duke is so good that's his version of "carvered".
