You’re my boy, but this is exactly the opposite of how we need to think.

These young men certainly don’t think this.

We are coming and bonus is the barometer, not wins.

THIS. We coming. And also flush that "it's their first tournament" stuff. Penn State and Ohio State and V-Tech stud freshmen are bonusing. We need to too. We have to be completely different than the past twenty years. The playing field has changed drastically.

 

[Dvten25]

Facundo has had some great opportunities but unable to finish.

 

[topc22blue]

Go to track hit the classic bar up above when you get to the drop down menu select viewer classic that will take you to the site with the original dashboard

Never saw the viewer classic option. Just showed all the tournaments after selecting Classic from the top.

 

[Dvten25]

There we go. Good shot and finish to go up 6-3.

 

[Pokes1988]

Araujo lost by the worst way ever hahaha!

 

[Wally12]

Cujo wins 12-6

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Facundo with a 12-6 win at 174.

 

[Pokes1988]

Facundo 12-6 Win, started down, finished well.

 

[OAMC99]

Facundo has had some great opportunities but unable to finish.

Facundo doing what's best for the team but this is why I think he'd be deadly at 165. I think he would finish all of those shots and opportunities. Solid win. He's been great.

 

[Wally12]

Mat 8 for Zach

 

[Dvten25]

I agree. Same for Ryder being down at 174.

 

[RWilson24]

We've got to pick up bonus point wins in these early rounds, not just decisions. That's the difference between 2nd and 4th for us.

 

[Southernpoke]

I agree. Same for Ryder being down at 174.

Could Lockett grow to 174 or 184?

 

[OAMC99]

Could Lockett grow to 174 or 184?

What about some strategic redshirting as well? Redshirt Lockett next year to improve conditioning, drop Facundo to 165, Ryder to 174 and magically get Sinclair to transfer in at 184?!?

 

[Old Number Nine]

Why is he talking about the Kentucky Derby

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Why is he talking about the Kentucky Derby

I thought the same thing! He really loves Rich Strike!

Lockett redshirted last year.

 

[SlickWillie18]

Any and all points we may or may not get from Ryder are gravy imo. Pulling off any wins with 1 shoulder at this level is impressive.

also what in the world was Angelo Ferrari’s injury? Both shoulders taped up like a 1990 Honda civic

 

[Wally12]

Zach with the 4-1 OT upset!

 

[Football_Goddess]

Lockett redshirted last year.

Dee's a true freshman.

 

[OAMC99]

HUGE from Ryder!!

 

[cowboy79]

Atta boy Zac. Great match and win in OT!

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Zac Ryder with a takedown for a sudden victory win!

 

[Old Number Nine]

Lockett redshirted last year.

Lockett redshirted last year.

He's listed as a "Fr" with only High School experience

 

[Dvten25]

Gutsy win from Zach. Isn’t going to be flashy especially with that shoulder. Going to have to win like that.

 

[Football_Goddess]

Zach with the 4-1 OT upset!

That was big for Zach and for the team. His seed suffered because he injury forfeited out of the Big 12s. I'm curious to see how his shoulder holds up this weekend.

 

[Cypresspoke]

Ryder hanging tough, that dude looked huge!

 

[Wally12]

Cody Mat 4

 

[Pokes1988]

Ryder with a Sudden Victory W!

 

[topc22blue]

HUGE from Ryder!!

 

[Anon1751653183]

great match tactics by David Taylor and team. Don’t force anything or put the shoulder in danger. Wear down the opponent wait for a mistake an go behind. Perfect game plan!

 

[chasepollard]

He’s got a plan. Most are going to be aware of it.

Gutsy and tough, he deserves tons of praise!

 

[FourCornersCowboy]

Sasso goes down

 

[SUPERPOKES]

4th seed loses at 197

 

[Pokes1988]

Sasso at 197 went down, does help Merrill potentially.

 

[CowboyMedic]

Dee's a true freshman.

You're right. It was Merrill that redshirted.

 

[Old Number Nine]

How did Hainse only win 3-0, ops, missed the fall

 

[Dvten25]

Merrill is looking good.

 

[Wally12]

Doucet Mat 8

 

[CowboyMedic]

Merrill with the 3rd period TF 18-3.
