2026 NCAA Championship Session II Thread

I suggested this in the past. Some people just refuse to spend $ on ESPN.
“We’re doomed” is a frequently posted board joke used to make fun of those who are acting ridiculously pessimistic. It’s okay to take a little ribbing and laugh about it.

Sorry folks, I have to go help a neighbor. @Tom McAndrew has got you covered! I'll be back tomorrow morning! Have a good night all!
People complaining about the TV broadcast then people telling them to switch to Matcast might be my new Carton/Pletcher

It's something I look forward to organizing and enacting each year. It's so worth it to me.
Meh. One MD isnt costing MM the Hodge. He's going to have #s over Mendez regardless. Its just a matter if there is Penn State fatigue and the voters give Mendez a career achievement award.
I get it, but there's no doom in my tone intended. OSU is looking good. They will be a handful for PSU for years to come. It's not about the NC. It's about the Hodge, too. MM didn't wrestle like MM wrestles. It's a surprise to me since he's my fav. Did you watch Mendez? He was dominant.
Man, when Rocco goes aggressive, it is FUN to watch.
Hope the coaches talk to them about that.
I try to take the perspective our wrestlers and coaches take. They are aware of it and its ridiculousness, so they don't stress on it. If it's good for them then it should be fine to not worry about it for the fans.
Rocco Welsh is so damn strong for 184. Rogers getting bullied.
Sounds like Guns is back.
I will bet you a friendly $1 wager that Mendez gets the Hodge on style alone unless MM kills it the rest of the way. And that may not be enough to do it. That will suck because he's my fav.
Hopefully you neighbor is the Messenbrinks so they can tell Mitchell to cut and work for the tech. We need every point we can get. You never know what will happen. I’m afraid OSU is sending all 10 to the quarters. We are doomed. Love seeing Skyler and Guns back on the board in March
"Style alone"? Wth does that mean?
Dude! He got robbed of back points on the edge in the 1st period! Should have had the tech.
If we're being honest, Barr should be more part of the conversation right now. He just mauls people.
Just because you are right (and you are right) doesn’t mean you are immune to a little ribbing.
Reminded me a little of the move that Bo used to pin Myles Martin
So to you the two matches Mendez has this year that were decisions doesn't factor in?
A tad sensitive, eh?
Rocco fighting for bonus points. Love to see it.
