2nd time this yr Cole gave up a TD with a few seconds left costing him a major!

 

[tullfan68]

I hope Cole is smart enough to not take bottom ever again!

 

[tullfan68]

Cole and kueter loser will be the one who gasses the most!!

Absolutely fine with Cole doing that again his next four matches.

 

[tullfan68]

anyone remember when Matt Brown was wrestling 3 weights and winning they never talked about him like they do Arnold!

 

[tullfan68]

oh and one more thing I am sick of Seyko still making excuses for Davis!

 

[tullfan68]

Davis can be good but he is off balance way to much and always makes a bad move or 2 that costs him!

 

[tullfan68]

Absolutely fine with Cole doing that again his next four matches.

and if he is only winning by 1 or 2 points?

 

[Fan16801]

I'm giving Cole a chance. Kueter went 2-0 against a 25 seed.

 

[HikeNatParks]

and if he is only winning by 1 or 2 points?

You're kidding, right? If not, then, yes, if he wins his next four matches by 1 point each, I'm ecstatic. Aren't you . . . with his title?

If Braeden comes out on fire like he did in the dual, i like his chances. It is a tall order to get past hardy. I hope he can clean up on the backside.

Okay fine. I guess you know what you’re talking about.

 

[lobolion]

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.

Time for some fatherly advice.

of course but that's not happening!

 

[tullfan68]

Timely and prophetic. That said the only thing it affects is us getting more than 180 team points. I say the record gets reset once again, but not by much.

Has duke stated why he wears tights under the singlet?

He shaves his legs. Sorry if already posted.

Seyko is obnoxious. He saw BWI starting to try more with wrestling and he hopped on the PSU wrestling bandwagon. I hate that byers goes on his show. Wish he'd go on any other show. Seyko is trash while covering football and he's much better at covering football.
