Don't poke Duke in the eye.
In the time it took to switch from the Duke match, he already had the TD
Mesenbrink seems to be in a rush to get to lunch. 
Mallard gets the upset over number twelve seeds, zurban
This was a fantastic match. Millard with a 1st period TD and RT. The Zerban got the escape and TD in the third to take the lead and Millard came right back and got the match winner. 9-6 final. They're calling it 12-6 crediting a meaningless TD at the buzzer.

Lamer and Millard back to back for my Darkhorse Derby team.
Mesenbrink with the TF, 21-5, @ 3:45!!
Mesenbrink I think just shook the hand of the ref who was just coming on the match for the next bout.
Ah, is it too late to update my bonus points in KYPSW?
I heard that staff gave him a hard talking to after that match.

Never know when you’ll need a friend.
first period, 5 td's and 2+ rt, LMAO....
Covering all bases and future thinking!
Helps us that aside from Jax (and Robideau early in the season) the super freshmen from Oklahoma State are generally not bonus point guys against anyone except bums. Merrill is incredibly boring - like a 197 Tony Nelson, and Lockett prefers styling out there vs getting after points.
I mean he had to have lost a bet to have hair that awful. Otherwise what did he say to the salon; make me look like a mushroom on Mario Kart?
Millard should have beat A Taylor during their meet. Kind of gave it away.
7.5 bonus points thru 6 matches doesn’t seem too bad
My son has a third child coming soon and announced this NCAAs is his 2nd Bachelor party in Cleveland.
Three kids under 5 will do that. He joined up with some past college wrestlers and others for a suite.
It is split between Brown University and Harvard University. My Slippery Rock State College degree is not holding up well.

7.5 points bonus is akin to a 5th place finish...
10 champioms, 50 matches, 62.5 bonus points? Why not?
Caliendo with a first period pin to speed up the mat 7 schedule. LOL.
174- #1 Levi Haines vs. #33 Grant O'Dell (BELL)
Period 1:
Circling, tying up & hand fighting. Levi shoots & quickly gets the TD, 3-0. He hooks a leg & is working a turn. He's getting swipes & then gets the FALL!!! More bonus, baby!!! That was quick. Thanks Levi!!!
