I mean scoring on McEnelly isn’t easy. Once he got that TD I knew it was pretty much over.
McEnelly is great but not impossible to score on. Rocco strangely showed little urgency til 30 seconds left. Best man won today.

We have broken the scoring record 3 years in a row …. No?
Yeah, but on the strength of a great team with not as good results in the semifinals and finals on a percentage basis anyway

I’ll probably get hammered for this, and maybe it’s premature, but it doesn’t feel like we peak as well for NCAAs these past couple of years. As the team got more involved in freestyle with better results maybe.
You are just begging Jefe to hit you with a “We’re doomed!” 😀

Welsh maybe should have been into desperate, super-aggressive mode a bit earlier.
I really don't understand this type of wrestling. MM has blue printed the way. All attack, all the time. MM is special but no shots gives you no shot of winning a natty.

They went 6 for 8 in the semis, will probably have 4 champs, and set the scoring record for the 3rd straight year. I call that peaking

Blaze and Welsh have the same problem..... incredible defensive wrestlers, but only decent Neutral Offense.... and not nearly good enough in Neutral against elite competition (Blaze losing 5-0 to Seidel was very revealing - he has a lot of work to do re: Neutral Offense).

Maybe it’s because we’re sending more guys, but I bet our semi final and final win % has decreased recently.

I swear Merrill was bigger in high school. He was massive. Not as big as his little brother but still huge. He doesn’t look so big now

Are you hammered? Yeah, pretty friggin stupid comment.

Maybe we should go back a few years and win 4 and finish in 2nd place.

Or only get 5 or 6 to the semis, but win 5.

Think about before you have another white claw.

Our finals percentage has always been much lower than our semifinal percentage. But we used to get far fewer semifinalists. Do you think we can keep up over 80% getting 9 or 10 to the semis???? Just stupid.
