I never wrestled but its pretty crazy to me that these guys can keep the whistles straight when all the mats are so close together. Maybe its easier then it seems on tv but theres so many whistles and to keep track of what is yours and what isn't is awesome.

These kids have been wrestling in tournaments with multiple mats since they were 6-years old. They learned to differentiate whistles early on.

Someone needs to do a research paper on the impacts of younger ears, mat experience, and amount of cauliflower damage.

Ridge Lovett in a fight for his life out there.

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

Lovett squeaks by 10-8

 

[Mstan85]

Ugh, I missed the Bartlett in the hole on Mat 7. So @GregPickel, I'll take either SVN or Bartlett -- whichever starts 1st, and you take the other one. I should be good to then handle Luke's match, unless there is a crazy delay.

Don't ever start a message with ugh!!!

[Pennstater55]

What happened with that tossed brick in the Byrd match? It looked like the kid escaped.

 

[Tryingtodoitright]

#4 Johnson ISU upset

 

[GregPickel]

Arizona State's Paniro Johnson, the four-seed at 149 pounds, drops his opener to No. 29 Jack Gioffre of Virginia 5-2 in TB2.

That match was officially 21 minutes in real time, for those keeping score.

 

[GregPickel]

Van Ness NOW on mat 2.

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

SVN needs a pin so i don’t miss MM

That was painful!

 

[Tryingtodoitright]

Arizona State's Paniro Johnson, the four-seed at 149 pounds, drops his opener to No. 29 Jack Gioffre of Virginia 5-2 in TB2.

Would that be IOWA STATE..?

 

[RyanSnyder]

Paniro Johnson (#4 ISU) losing to #29.

Big upset there in OT.

 

[RyanSnyder]

Would that be IOWA STATE..?

Correct. It's hectic covering these events.

 

[ptomaselli]

Big upset there in OT.

Huge

 

[ElDuce]

Willey Wonka's length is giving SVN some trouble.

 

[ptomaselli]

Gotta say, the Penn Quakers came to wrestle today. They are kicking ***!

 

[hohmadw1978]

SVN with the pin!

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

SVN Pin!

 

[ptomaselli]

Another decent upset...Saldate MI over Miller MD (#10 seed).

 

[Tom McAndrew]

149 R1: #3 Shayne Van Ness vs. #30 Gabe Willochell (Wyoming)

I'll use GW for Willochell

I believe SVN pinned GW in the dual meet back in Dec.

Per 1
SVN in on a shot, on the edge, but GW avoids the TD. SVN shoots, gets a leg, elevates it, goes for a standing cradle, but opts for just the TD, 3-0. Works him pretty hard, then GW scoots and tries to get a reversal, he ends up getting an esc, 3-1. SVN shoots, and after a scramble gets the TD, 6-1. End. RT @ 1:10 for SVN

Per 2
GW takes bottom. SVN working to tilt, he turns him, and gets the FALL @ 4:11!!!!!!!!

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

Gotta like the bonus points

 

[NittPicker]

SVN needs a pin so i don’t miss MM

You should ask for pins more often.

 

[lionlover]

Now, THAT'S more like it!!
