Deakin trying to undo his March horocrux

 

[Dr J]

He looks very very beastly for a 141 pounder

I was thinking the same thing about Deakin at 157.

My heart sank for the guy when he nearly got pinned in the semis again. Dominant performance thereafter, though.

 

[Dr J]

Shane Griffith at 165 would be my #2 on the list. He’s lost to Wick 3 times this season and will have to go through Hamiti in the quarters just to get to him in the semis.

WOW. Last second takedown to upset Wick. Glad to be wrong here. It’s tough to root against Griffith after what he did last year.

Kemerer hanging in there with an avenged win over Mikey Labriola. I’m surprised he’s done as well as he has with his shoulder.

 

[Dr J]

Warner keeps the streak alive. Not what you’d expect, but I’ll take it.

some mid major love.
Oregon State and North Carolina had great tournaments. Milner repeated as an AA for App State. It would have been cool to see the Citadel punch their 157 through, he lost a crazy match. Several other mid majors had surprisingly good tournaments as well.

Is UNC considered a mid major? I get they are not a powerhouse program but they are in the ACC. Is the ACC considered a mid major in wrestling? In basketball they are not.

For wrestling yes. Till extremely recently. Same for the ACC

Yoo just seen Mekhi’s semis win that shit was diiiiirtyyy

It’s so funny watching this tournament, I swear some of the dudes in there 40s for as long as they’ve been eligible lmao

Dr. Kemerer sneaks into a 3rd place rematch against Hillary, showing that the Hawkeyes don’t completely suck in OT.

Marinelli got wrecked by Wick. Rough draw, but another disappointing tournament from The Bull. Cassioppi in 7th/8th is even worse.

Trent Hidlay had a fun match. Got a gift from the refs to stay alive but still couldn’t pull it off.

Starocci vs Lewis is a great final.

@Carl Drogo @Rebelfett , y’all tuning in?

Have been watching when I could. Saw the Iowa lad go down

Which one? Losing to underdogs has been Iowa’s thing this tournament.

 

[jack36767]

I think The brands brothers begged Warners hs to help get his head straight this weekend lol

 

[Dr J]

If the “8 Against Hate” t-shirt Glory was wearing has anything to do with allowing men to swim against women, I’m glad Suriano stalled his way to a win.

I have two family friends who went to Oklahoma State, hope Fix wins here.

I picked Fix, so I’m going with him primarily for the self-satisfaction of being correct.

Fix still has a couple more years left. My math may be off, but I think he’ll be 32 when his senior year rolls around with plenty more experience under his belt.

On a related note, has there ever been a 4x finalist who didn’t win a single national title?

Nick Lee is a different breed.
