***NCAA Wrestling - Session 6 (Saturday, 5:30pm CT)***

I love this Valencia kid. And to think that Stanford was about to can their program just a couple years ago.

 

[alabamacyclone]

Can you guys who follow wrestling closer than I do? Give me the 411 on Valencia how the hell does a 10th rank guy make it all the way to the finals, look that good and beat number one Penn State… And what the hell’s up with all these bricks that’s pretty obviously a takedown isn’t it?

It happens. Sometimes a kid has a bad qualifying tournament and gets a lower seed. Other kids just perform better when the lights are brightest. Sometimes there are upsets along the way that can make your path easier. These are elite athletes, and on a good day anyone can beat someone else. That is why repeat champions are so revered.

Great fight from Taylor. This is going to be a good one too, I think.

 

[CycloneCarl5]

I didn’t realize DT was such a **** talker. He was pointing at Neb corner saying something as soon as the brick is thrown

Edit: now I see why he was saying something with Manning saying something to ref too

 

[alabamacyclone]

That is definitely backs. And DT is proving to be a doosh.

Robideau is a bad mofo.

 

[CyDegen]

Stall call there is terrible. OSU continues to get the most generous whistle this tournament

 

[BikeSkiClone]

Hate how much slapping Antrell gets away with. I get head taps and posts on the forehead and top of the head but the swings at ears with no intention to stick or get to the collar is ridiculous.

And then threw his ankle bands at Robideau

Off subject question....what is Nebraska doing in recruiting and development better than us? Seems like a program that shouldn't be having more sustained success than us.

OSU is going to be a major problem. They might be able to take down Cael in the next few years

 

[CycloneCarl5]

what the hell was Taylor doing in the last 20 sec there??

 

[alabamacyclone]

Taylor threw his ankle bands in Robideau's face. No class. Sore loser.

OSU is going to be a major problem. They might be able to take down Cael in the next few years

What’s even worse is they have unlimited $$$ to spend on every highly talented fresh available

 

[purpleclone]

Over/under 1.5 years for the Pokes to win a natty?

With vega jax robiduex merrill then raneys and ross coming in they could build something damn near unstoppable for a few years

Still over Penn state only loses haines this year

 

[alabamacyclone]

They have a lot of ground to make up. I don't know the age of PSU, or what they have in the stable. PSU still outspending everyone else.

 

[cytor]

Ped State wrestling spends more than ISU men's basketball

 

[alabamacyclone]

Don't get me wrong here. I have as strong as dislike for Hawks as the next guy, but I admire what Caliendo brings every time out. Not your typical Hawk. He will be hard for Coach Bob to replace. PS. I hate everything about this 165 finals match.
