Do you follow wrestling at all?
No, just started watching. Should I be excited about our second seeded wrestler losing to a five seed with a conference title on the line? And even more excited about him not having a takedown in the match, giving up a takedown with 30 seconds to go and then not being able to escape? Shucks, he tried hard!

It's not even Spratley. He's a freshman, oh well. It's just such a culture of underachieving in this program currently and has been for a long time now.

What was Williams Injury yesterday? Is he even healthy for this match? It doesn't look like it.

Pump the brakes bro. It’s hard being a fan in good times and in bad times, but we do not have a culture of losing. We’ve had some lean years but I feel these boys are wrestling pretty good. ISU has one hell of a team this year and we have a good YOUNG team that will only get better. IMO, so far, this year has been a very good breath of fresh year. We still have nationals, keep your chin up.

Maybe Plott can get a pin?? :) Still think we come up just short.

TJ coming up short, BT missing the golden opportunity to make the championship, TS losing earlier tonight. We had our chances.

This had been a pleasant year until the past few weeks. The Iowa dual was embarrassing. Not winning a conference title this year sucks. Now we're four years away from our last one. Nationals will not go well. Every "program worst" has been achieved since 2010. We haven't had a dominant wrestler since Dieringer. Just so frustrating.

Downey from NIU looks dang good on defense. Chittum would have at least two takedowns against anyone else.

The way he fell, it looks like an AC separation. If it was grade 3/4, he wouldn’t have wrestled at all. So, likely a grade 1/2 which makes the arm really weak and all contact feels like death… but not likely to disable him in a couple weeks.

No inside information, just observational.

Seriously, there is a PSU board somewhere calling your name. Our sober up and get it together.

SC is sternoclavicular its where the sternum and the clavicle attach.

AC is acromioclavicular joint which is opposite side of the shoulder girdle.

AC is much more common to injure.

How bad is it?
