That was huge because Merrill would have been the reincarnation of Chris Perry if Josh didn’t push the action

Let’s not do this, please.
Those damn upper weights eh Magic Man? Keep focused on everything under 165, because that's all you got bud.
So happy for Josh!! People might deny they ever thought it but when he first came in many thought he might never see the lineup. I think he is one of the kids that developed most since Cael became coach. And he still has two years left!
wtfNot that there is anything wrong with that, right? Asking for a friend.
You are 100% correct. Narratives are getting changed and next year will be a lot closer than many thought just a couple weeks ago.
No, Josh just scored the 4 that was needed to set the record
As good as Oklahoma State is, DT coaches a lot of those guys to just try and keep it close. Merrill should have been hit earlier in that match.
Really?! Are you going there? Be a better human.
Oklahoma State to get the inaugural Arthur Murray dance trophy.
The complete irony of Oklahoma State hiring one of the most aggressive dynamic wrestlers in history
Only to immediately return to the stalling they did under Smith.
**** Oklahoma State.

Josh is so poised in this interview. You really see how important the staff has been in molding him into this monster he is. Best part is two more years of it.
We actually don't. Josh just secured a new scoring record!
This would've been good sarcasm without everything before "but."
We won 6 of 8 in the semis = 75%.
Yeah, that's probably down a little from the around 80% historically but holy hell we just had 8 national semifinalists and won 3/4 of those matches.
If that's a down year ...
The OK St maneuver is to grab fingers to slow our guys down.
Shout out to Scooter for not being on the list...
Was Bailey actually for Iowa he threw his headgear in the garbage can that was in the tunnel and Angel watched him do it and dinged him
Man, Merrill is absolutely my least favorite wrestler to watch in the country. Including Angelo. Like watching orange paint dry.
Enjoy taking home your 2nd place trophy back to Stallwater.

IMO this was one of the best ncaa tournaments leading up to the date the early matches, the completion in general. I dont even eant to watch it a junk product is what became of it.
Merrill’s GF is nasty. You don’t want any part of her
They have a great heavyweight coming in but definitely need to fill 174 and 184 long term. Michael White might be one of them. Kid has jumped levels lately. They definitely have more holes to fill than PSU but are doing a great job at it. Will be interesting to see if kids transfer out that can’t make the lineup or stick around. They are going to have a major logjam at 125-157 going forward. No different than PSU in the middle weights but Cael has managed it perfectly. Let’s see if DT can as well
Guess MC was tired of losing to Mitch
The stalling non-calls and calls need to be reviewed and rectified. Any wrestler who is allowed to go 6:30 without taking a meaningful shot should have multiple passivity/stall calls and penalty points. The hypocrisy of begging for stall calls in the last 30 seconds after being a baked potato for 6:30 is obscene.
No it won’t. Maybe in 2 years but next year won’t be close. PSU will be better next year I think
