Phew. Haha Blaze is so fast when he finally shoots his shot.

stalled out in the third.
Dan Gable must be horrified.
Bailey is going to have a really tough 3rd period. 3 stall calls already.
Woof. That was brutal lol

Dan Gable is in the back yard digging a grave for himself so that he can lie down and turn in it.
As in the tank as I am.....I can still see the Y and the B are pretty far apart on my keyboard. And forgetting the E pretty much eliminates the accidental typing of the wrong word. Yes...you can call most anybody what you want....but at least let him own it and stop making excuses for him.
That Blaze high crotch looked so much like Levi on the setup and execution.
Penn State junior Braeden Davis will face Northwestern's Billy DeKraker in Sunday's seventh place match. The winner gets an auto bid to nationals. The Nittany Lion beat the Wildcat 9-0 in January.
Mendez is really ******* good but I just don’t like him
No excuses… I don’t even know him. Just don’t think he has anything to own.
Alright there's the obligatory 3 -0 deficit for SVN...
Everyone must have forgot to talk to SVN!
I'd love to see Mitchell catch and release tonight for the tech. No 4 minutes of riding time. Can't give any daylight to Mendez for the Hodge.
Proof reading is my second greatest weakness next to spelling......
Was there a rule change I missed? Is SVN required to give up the first TD?

SVN is such a weird scrambler. Looks lost in some basic positions at times
If nothing else, Van Ness knows how to wrestle from behind.
SVN is gonna get behind against the wrong guy and it’s gonna cost him if it hasn’t already
Braeden makes Cael want to take a drink, SVN makes Nick Lee want to take a drink.
Blaze is tough to score on -- we've seen that all season. That said, I just can't understand what has happened to Ayala's offense. I don't remember him being a TD machine. But he was relentless, and generally had more O than his opponents, as well as outworking them. The version of him that I've seen this season, especially against Blaze, is a guy that's happy to wrestle 7 minutes to set up 1 throw-by/shuck-by. Blaze has done a pretty good job of staving that move off, and responding to it when Ayala tries it. A guy that has won as often as Ayala has should be, in his final season, adept at beating you with offense other than his favorite move.
