Blaze can beat Davino if he simply gets ANGLES. He just stood in front of him in a defensive posture that match.
Lilledahl on how the match played out and the win:
“It wasn’t really a game plan to get in scrambles but wrestling happens, right? I want to create as many exchanges and put those guys in as many exchanges as I can. Because I know my conditioning is superior to theirs. The more exchanges that we get in, the more tired they’re going to be in overtime.
"You kinda saw as the match went along my offense opened up. My game plan is to go out and score points as fast and as many times as I can. But at the same time, if things aren’t happening, you gotta stay patient.”

He really should have tried that duck under with 15 seconds to go. He would have won.
After watching Vega last night and a few other times and being reminded how Hardy gives mendez trouble occasionally...Vega vs Mendez might a be a legit match.
Remember Seidel was hammering Jax till he got caught in a 7 point move and lost 12 to 11.
I don’t know that others see or don’t see it, just that accepting it means that every time the two wrestle we just have to settle for rideouts. It leaves a lot to chance and makes them about coin flip matches.
That’s ok if we accept Blaze isn’t good enough to beat Davino in regulation. I believe he is.
Where’s Maning for Hardy vs Mendez? I don’t see him anywhere in the arena at all.
edit: saw him after the match congratulate Hardy

Forrest scored a takedown and Seidel laid on his hip, forgot to recover to base and wasn't trying to turn into Forrest, just kinda sat there. Forrest moved up and turned it into NF4. The final was 10-9.
You got me but he did keep the elbow in
Another regular decision for Mendez so he's definitely the Hodge favorite now.
Yes. It’s just that easy. I’m sure he didn’t think of that.
Mendez should pat Hardy on the tummy
Welp, there was never gonna be an easy semifinal for Blaze. The quarter will be a little more difficult, but not overly concerned.
At this point I rather see a Jax semi than another matchup with Davino. Davino just looks better than Marcus right now and seems impossible to score on.

Just confirming one of you guys talked to SVN, right?
I actually agree. I like Blaze's chances in scrambles and reattacks with Jax.
Yeah. I don't care how the seeds shake out to be honest. I actually hope it's Jax 1. Davino 2 Seidel 3 and Blaze 4. Mix it up with 4 that haven't seen each other yet till tge finals. Let them roll with that and the winner will deserve the title!
Shapiro soon to start ranting about Penn wrestlers taking steroids and Family Not Factory.
He will be lower than some would like at nationals
Did you actually post this bullsh-t? Fans accept nothing. We're not a part of this. Is it so hard for folks like you to understand, the opponent comes to wrestle and possibly win? That dude is really fking good. They are 1-1 in the B1G against each other. Jesus, get a grip.
Let me give you a bit of history. There was a dude who won no less than 6 State championships in Minnesota. He also lost his very first match against Iowa. Sh&t happens.
Nebraska is officially eliminated in the team title race.
tOSU is still technically in the running, but it would take a royal straight flush, or something like that, for them to win.

This inside board joke might have some staying power.
149 Final- #1 Shayne Van Ness vs. #2 Ethan Stiles (OHST)
Period 1:
I think Shayne wrestles better with facial hair. Let it fly Shayne! Circling, tying up & hand fighting. Van Ness presses forward. Heavy collar ties by Stiles. Stiles shoots & gets to a leg. Van Ness sprawls back. Stiles works to his feet, but Van Ness breaks him down. Stalemate & restart. Tying up & circling again, 90-sec left. Van Ness presses forward again & reaches for a leg. He can't get there, but keeps the pressure on. Stiles shoots & gets to a leg. Van Ness sprawls back & gets to an ankle. Van Ness is looking for an ankle pass. Stalemate & restart. Van Ness tries to pick an ankle, but Stiles blocks him off. More tying up & hand fighting. Van Ness looks for an opening, but can't find one & time expires. 0-0
Period 2:
Stiles takes down. Van Ness quickly gets Stiles bellied out. Siles works back to his base & tries to come up. He turns & Van Ness catches him on his back! Van Ness gets the fall!!!!
Shayne Van Ness FALL Ethan Stiles (3:29)
Shayne takes 1st Place!

SVN is the only guy I'd prefer to see scoreless after one.
I wish Mark Hall would have won a second Natty. He was definitely good enough...
Wow. That was absolutely amazing from SVN!
SVN!!!!
He gets the pin
