Virginia Duals

[NYWRESTLER94]

What's the word on Boston and Rodriguez

 

[buf87]

I see them favored at 157 and Hwt and a decent chance to win all 10

Since RRS was DQ'd for flagrant misconduct, he won't even be allowed in the building tomorrow. Breitenbach at 157.

Any of you guys actually at the duals? I live in the area and was thinking about catching the next one (Chatanooga) this afternoon. Not that often that the Cyclones come this close to me.

I'm watching on Flo myself. I think most of us are.

 

[buf87]

Same here, watching on Flo

 

[Judoka]

For what it's worth, Kent State and George Mason both just won the "Silver" and "Bronze" brackets, respectively.

 

[Judoka]

Larson up 6-2 after the first. He got taken down but got a reversal and a tilt for 4. I'm not sure if he should have gotten points on that tilt, the back was pretty close to 90 degrees. But I'm a hater of cheap tilts in general so I'm biased. Larson kept a solid ride after the tilt and has about two minutes or RT in his favor. He's down to start the 2nd period.

 

[Judoka]

9-3 after the second. Larson got out and got a TD and rode him for a while but Allen eventually got out. Allen down to start the third and is limping a bit. Larson has RT all but locked up.

 

[Judoka]

Pretty sure the Chattanooga guy pulled something, would be nice if Larson can take advantage of that to get the major.

 

[Judoka]

Larson cuts Allen once he has RT secured but isn't able to get a TD for the major (unlike Hall though he was trying). Wins it 10-4. ISU up 3-0 after the first match.

 

[Judoka]

8-1 lead for Hall over Cody Hill after the first period. He hit his double for the TD and then got the backpoints off a huge mat return. Then he got a nice TD off a roll with a trapped arm to go up 8-1. Cut Hill with about 45 seconds left but, as usual, didn't secure another TD. Hill is down to start the 2nd and Hall has just over a minute of RT.

 

[Judoka]

12-4 after two on the strength of a pair of TDs by Hall. And he even rode him out at the end! Hall has 2 minutes of RT and picks neutral.

 

[Judoka]

Hall wins it 16-4 after getting a TD, a stalling point, and RT in the third. ISU up 7-0 after two matches.

Wait...I think I read that wrong. Hall was aggressive enough to get a stalling point on someone else?

As an aside Judoka, how are you liking the Flo coverage this year? I heard there were nothing but issues in past years, so I haven't taken the plunge, but seems the complaints are quieting down. Worth the money?

 

[Judoka]

Scoreless first period at 141 for Meeks against Mike Pongracz of Chattanooga. Both guys took some half shots but mostly it was a lot of handfighting in the first. Meeks' knee is pretty heavily taped up but he isn't limping on it.

If you watch it enough then I think it is for sure. I generally just keep it on mute because I think the Flo guys are a little over the top, but I have no problem getting good streams and at least for all the tournaments so far there haven't been any technical issues.

I did use a gift card to sign up though, since I've heard bad things about them continuing to charge people who cancel. Since it is a gift card they can run it all they want, there's no money left on it.

 

[Judoka]

Meeks down 0-1 going in to the third after giving up an escape to Pongracz in the second and no other points scored. Meeks down to start the 3rd and RT isn't currently a factor.

 

[Judoka]

Make that neutral. Meeks got taken down and turned and goes down 0-8. Not entirely sure how I feel about that ride Pongracz had. He locked up a leg hooks and then just sat there waiting for Meeks to expose himself, wasn't being offense, just waiting to counter.

ISU up 7-4 after three matches.
