I like Barr a lot. I’m perfectly fine with him manning 197 the next three years. Problem is, Mirasola’s potential is through the roof also. What happens at 197 going forward? If Josh places really high or wins the whole thing, it’s gotta be his spot, right?
A nice problem to have ... next year. Cael always finds a way .......

Same here! My wife and I were yelling at Greg to let him up and take him down to catch up. Then, when he was just laying on him, we thought What The Hell! Then, the great sports station that they are changed the time and score screen. Bastards!
Same here! I came in from taking the garbage out, I see he's losing 3 zip and not doing anything but playing with wrists. I'm yelling like hell to attempt to cradle him or pancake him! Then I lightened up and told my wife he's hurting, so was pitying him. Then it ended and watched the score change and about sht myself!

How many points did we have after round 2 last year? I assume we are still ahead of the pace.

I was wondering what the hell was going on. Kerk looked awfully relaxed for being down 4-0 in the 3rd. 🙄
They were scoring the red and green correctly; the scorers had the colors assigned to the in correct wrestlers, tv guys ****ed it up.

Nice of espn to have the score wrong
Seriously they put on kerk match with him down 3-0 and riding time secured for the other guy. Then they moved it to 0-0. Then they flipped kerk to green and the other guy to red. Then they put 3 points on for kerk and zero for the other guy. I was panicking!

Syracuse grads working at ESPN trying to mess with PSU’ers.

At 133# I like Davis’ chances to upset Byrd.

Byrd beat an injured Davis 7-1 back in mid February in Champaign.

Per Wrestlestat.com, we're favored in 8 of the bouts except 133 and inexplicably 197.

With the exception of Bartlett. All seeds held that psu will be facing. So there will be no optics on or about psu facing Cinderella seeds this round

I like Barr a lot. I’m perfectly fine with him manning 197 the next three years. Problem is, Mirasola’s potential is through the roof also. What happens at 197 going forward? If Josh places really high or wins the whole thing, it’s gotta be his spot, right?
I think there is a strong likelihood you see Barr drop to 184 next year when Carter leaves. That solves your problem.
