The ref in the Bartlett match is VERY quick to stop the action.
No offense to speak of from Beau aside from having a leg up in the second period. Couldn't finish though.
141 Semi: #1 seed Beau Bartlett vs. #4 seed Vance Vombaur (Minnesota)
I'll use VV for Vombaur
Per 1
A lot of ear-to-ear early in the match (to nobody's surprise). VV in on a single, Beau does a split, VV gets behind and grabs the other leg for the TD, 0-3. Beau to his feet, then tripped down. Back up again, and tripped down again. Beau grabs a leg and turns in, VV locks on the knee, and stopped for a stalemate with 1:25 left (Beau seems confused, and I disagreed with the call). Beau to his feet, tripped down, back to his feet, and he's out, 1-3. 1 minute left. VV shoots a double, but Beau blocks it. VV reaches, then shoots, nothing. End. RT @ 0:52 for VV
Per 2
VV takes bottom. VV quickly flattened, then works up and out, 1-4. RT @ 0:42 for VV. Beau gets a single, he has VV bouncing, VV does a split, dancing again, then a split as VV locks around the waist, and a stalemate with 0:40 left. VV shoots and gets a head inside single, Beau sprawls, the buzzer sounds. End. RT @ 0:42 for VV
Per 3
Beau takes bottom. He works up, back down, up again, and RT goes over 1 min. OOB with 1:33 left. Beau to his feet, back down, works up again, and is tripped down again. Beau to his feet, hits a roll as he's returned, and then he's out, 2-4. Beau shoots a single, and a stalemate with 0:56 left. Beau sort of shoots, nothing. Beau nearly shoots, nothing. Stall warning on VV. Beau shoots a single, nothing. Another stall call, 3-4. End. With 1:36 in RT, it's a 3-5 DEC fro VV.
Ugh
Beau will be in the consolation semis tomorrow.

Live by 1 point wins, die by 1 point losses.
So frustrating to watch Beau do next to nothing for 7 minutes. I really thought he was coming on after the Mendez match but I guess not.
I was worried about Beau’s matchup with VV. Dude is long and has a gas tank.
I dont understand Bartlett. He has great shots just seems reluctant to fire. Hes been that way his entire career. Good career but i always walk away thinking he has more to give. Guess im just wrong. Dont want to dump on the kid because hes been fantastic. I just get frustrated for him
Seedings for 141 at nationals is turned upside down. Alirez, Bartlett and Mendez all go down.
Beau has been great. I will not miss watching him wrestle one bit. Next man up next year.
Going into 149 pounds, Penn State and Nebraska are tied with 104.5 team points.
This is the Beau we’ve seen for years
Still there for Natty
Unrelated, of course, but Michael Beard won his second EIWA championship.
Phew. Good job by SVN to fight that off.
EDIT: But it happened again and he couldn't fight it off. Two damned seconds to go.

Hope the kid wins it. Hes been so close. The minny kid is a monster for that weight
149 Semi: #1 seed Shayne Van Ness vs. #5 seed Kannon Webster (Illinois)
I'll use KW for Webster
Per 1.
Quick stoppage for an eye polk (I think). SVN reaches for an ankle, nothing. Lots of collar ties, ear-to-ear, and both trying to control wrists and the head, but no shots. 0:30 left. End
Per 2
KW defers. SVN takes bottom. He's quickly to his feet, and out in 7 sec, 1-0. SVN gets a low single, KW over the shoulder, they scramble, SVN in the better position, but KW gets away, so nothing. Hard to believe eKW avoided that TD. SVN gets in on a single, not much time left, and the buzzer sounds. End. RT @ 0:07 for KW
Per 3
KW takes bottom. KW works to his feet, but they are OOB with 1:46 left. KW sits out, and gets away for the esc, 1-1. RT is 0:14 for SVN, so it's not a factor. KW in on a single, gets behind, SVN with a split on the edge, and they are OOB with 0:57 sec left. KW working underhooks, nearly gets behind him, but SVN squirts away. KW in on a single, and gets a TD with 0:04 left. End. 1-4 DEC for Kannon Webster. Wow, I did not expect that.

Ugh SVN took several bad shots and paid for it.
