2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

[Nitlion1986]

How that takedown stands on "Independent Review" but PJ Duke's did not is just mystifying.

That was a no brainer takedown.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

As someone not sitting around other Penn State fans, the Penn State hate is real and it’s extreme. Grown men flipping off Shayne when he lost. For what reason? Has Shayne ever done anything controversial or been anything other than a worthy opponent?

What I have learned in my adult life is that there are real effin stupid morons that we live around.

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

Manning reminds me that it isn't Robideau's fault that Duke got hosed. Taylor losing won't break my heart.

 

[GregPickel]

This is not a great showing for officials and official reviews this weekend. Nobody is consistent with anything. It's hard to explain this sport to people that don't already love wrestling. Shame.

Yes.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Can't believe I'm about to root for Taylor.

I am finding it impossible to root for Taylor.

 

[AgSurfer]

Fast brick Manning at it again.

 

[gimb14]

Where's Duke? I saw Duke win, but don't see him in this match. He should be in this match. Where is he?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[PortaJ]

What was SVN waiting for. He didn't seem to complete his attack or shots. He let him off to many times. Kid wanted it more.

He was waiting to win on a re-attack and it burned him

 

[gimb14]

Am I a bad person for muting the 157 match and spending more time scanning board posts than watching?

Yes. 100%. Me too

 

[Nitlion1986]

If you want to gripe. SVN was in the same position at end of the 2nd that Vega was. Yet he didn’t get the TD

No he wasn't

 

[Shifty15]

Same here

 

[JoeBagobagels]

Yes.

I don't mind losing if it's close but dammit with PJ last night that was ridiculous. Ben Askren had a nice take where he said that he didn't think it was necessarily to take down, but if the guy waited a few more seconds because he was working a pinning combination and it definitely would've been a takedown, back points or a pin, and because he blew the whistle for a takedown too early. Of course it could be challenged.

 

[Psalm 1 guy]

I'd concur on where they are at this point. However, Valencia really attacked SVN, and got 2 TDs on him. And while we've seen SVN fall behind before, and then have a bigger tank in the 3rd period, Valencia was the aggressor in the 3rd period and in SV-1. SVN is usually pretty good at blocking shots, and then quickly getting around on a counter. Valencia didn't give him opportunity tonight.

The frequent blood stoppages had to be called, but they worked to SVN's disadvantage (or, at least didn't allow him to out tank in the 3rd period; not sure if he would have been able to against Valencia).

SVN's biggest regret (besides losing) is probably that he was unable to convert the TD at the end of the 2nd period. He was close on that, but Valencia's whizzer prevented SVN from completing the TD before the buzzer sounded.

I think SVN would have that 2nd period TD if he hadn't reached so high to control the second leg. Had he reached lower on the second leg I believe he would still have caught the leg without getting caught in a whizzer.

I am finding it impossible to root for Taylor.

Yea I just keep being annoyed knowing what Duke would do to Taylor

Edit: I firmly believe duke should have not played with fire and end of the day its on him for not being the aggressor sooner. I'm not trying to cry about the call. It happened. It sucked. Not robideaus fault.

Yes. 100%. Me too

[Reiterate]

Did JB just say Rob-a-Duke?

 

[Sandy2176]

Rabid douche is going to lose.

Say his name right
It's not him it's the refs

 

[Cstroke]

Ferrari going full Shapiro on Batista

He’s such an idiot, I’m not sure I have the vocabulary to adequately describe him or Shapiro

 

[JoeBagobagels]

None of us can use any steroids because Ferrari took them all

 

[GregPickel]

Ha, Mark Manning throwing his brick to challenge a stalling call.

 

[flyinorvi]

Valencia size and strength was an issue

He looked huge, and the morning weigh-in had to be a benefit.

 

[Kingslayer]

As someone not sitting around other Penn State fans, the Penn State hate is real and it’s extreme. Grown men flipping off Shayne when he lost. For what reason? Has Shayne ever done anything controversial or been anything other than a worthy opponent?

That’s sad , Shayne has always conducted himself with class

 

[Cstroke]

Taylor has a hard time with these strong fundamental wrestlers.

 

[PSUcup]

This sport is becoming ridiculous

 

[mcpat]

What’s the challenge? The stall call? That they were OOB before it?

 

[Wilbur Kookmeyer]

Ferrari going full Shapiro on Batista

"I'm not making excuses..."

Narrator: ...but he went on to make specific excuses.

 

[Aardvark86]

Ferrari going full Shapiro on Batista

He should be drawn and quartered, and have his head stuck on a post on the castle walls.

 

[Sunshine88!]

Okla State getting every call possible

 

[Lyons212]

Good news is that Manning is out of bricks for Minto.

 

[o_Grass]

Very gratuitous stall call.

 

[Misalorales]

Challenging a stall call is fairly telling of how a match is going.

 

[PSUcup]

That’s sad , Shayne has always conducted himself with class

Yeah. Shane is the absolute epitome of class and humility. Ridiculous if d bags were doing that

 

[District 4]

What’s the challenge? The stall call? That they were OOB before it?

Looked like taylor reached out to touch the grey

 

[Hotshoe]

Stop bitching. SVN just lost and he’s been playing with fire for weeks. It’s like PSU guys only lose because they get screwed. It’s “Iowa cheats” “I hate David Taylor now”. Now
It’s “I hate pine tree mascots too”.

Shane hasn't wrestled like that all tournament. He's been an absolute machine in these nationals. Valencia was just really good tonight.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[o_BruceK-PSU83]

Hopefully Manning is out of bricks now.

 

[marylovesthelions]

Coaching. OKS kids,are very aggressive tonight. Shane a some others look morevlike trying not to lose than to go out and win.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Ferrari going full Shapiro on Batista

He wears red just like Shapiro too
