National Duals, '25, thread

[mcpat]

Wow. Great finish. Late TD Peterson over Spratley 5-4

 

[watoos]

I'm an internet Troglodyte, anyone have a link for the little red and green guys, if there is one?

 

[El_Jefe]

I thought a thread titled "National Duals, '25, thread" might be the quickest way to find the semifinals matchups ... guess not.

The quickest way was to look at the brackets when they were released, and not think too hard.

 

[mcpat]

Ramirez up on Ayala 4-2. Three stall calls makes it 4-4. Ayala wins with a TD in SV.

Ok st "gifting" Iowa today...

 

[gpsu88]

I find myself rooting for Iowa in this one, should I be concerned?

Nah. When a double DQ isn't in the cards it's ok to root for what you consider the lesser of 2 evils. It's in the board bylaws.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Now that was slick asf by Vega. Wow!

I checked....Mr. Texas is correct.

Precision of language, JTS. Remember that some of us aren't streaming and don't know what Vega you're talking about.

Noted. Lol

How did Antrell Taylor win the championship last year?

 

[LemonPie]

After 1 period, Brandon Cannon up 6-2 with 1:42 of RT over Antrell Taylor

 

[LemonPie]

Swiderski looking rough. Wonder if Jamison becomes the guy at 149.

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

If Ohio State somehow wins this whole thing, Cael is going to make a point to leave their team as a pile of smoking rubble after our dual with them

 

[RS17]

How did Antrell Taylor win the championship last year?

Because Kasak did an incredibly dumb move when he was up in match. He tried to scramble with a scrambler when he had better position on Blaze and should have just held it.

 

[LemonPie]

Taylor majored. Ohio State wins both swing matches at 141 and 157. 20-0 lead through 157.

 

[nerfstate]

Nebraska is definitely not peaking in November. Was really rooting for Hardy to beat Mendez. close.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Swiderski has lost 3 times this weekend?

 

[mcpat]

Block over Swiderski 5-3

 

[mcpat]

I find myself rooting for Iowa in this one, should I be concerned?

Ditto

 

[RBOld]

Watching OSU wipe the mat with Nebraska and Iowa crushing OkSt has me thinking the points record is easily going to be broken in March.

 

[pish69]

Swiderski stinks. 0-4 on the season

 

[tullfan68]

How did Antrell Taylor win the championship last year?

he didn't have to wrestle Kasak!

 

[johnstownsteel]

Swiderski has lost 3 times this weekend?

Yeah. Not sure how many years he has left but he's only gonna be in that lineup for a year at best.

 

[tullfan68]

Nebby getting crushed!

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Swiderski stinks. 0-4 on the season

Iowa board pegging Block as a finalist now after beating that bum.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Robideau is the real deal. Duke will have his hands full if they meet.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Lockett beat Caliendo. Don't think it matters though. Mitchell is just too good.

Edit: Never mind, no TD! They are in OT. Actually I don't even know lol.

 

[zzs006]

Robideau is the real deal. Duke will have his hands full if they meet.

Agreed. Duke handled him pretty well in freestyle but folk is a different beast. I still think everywhere Robideau is good, Duke is a bit better. Robideau is so physical as a freshman but he ain’t bullying PJ

 

[SRATH]

Lockett beat Caliendo. Don't think it matters though. Mitchell is just too good.

Edit: Never mind, no TD! They are in OT.

Still, being right there with MC is pretty damn good

 

[nerfstate]

Lockett is very very good. I like our guy better though.

 

[mcpat]

Brands refuses to shake Lockett’s hand. I think Tom.

 

[zzs006]

I’m sorry but I just don’t like Lockett. I’m going to really enjoy Mesenbrink teching him if they meet up

 

[LostInTransition]

Robideau is the real deal. Duke will have his hands full if they meet.

Robideau had nothing for Duke in the U20 WTT Finals over the summer. PJ swept the best of 3, 7-0 and 9-4.

 

[o_BruceK-PSU83]

How did Antrell Taylor win the championship last year?

Well, for starters, BearClaw had Taylor beat but made an ill-advised ankle dive late in the match that kind of gave it away.

Because Kasak did an incredibly dumb move when he was up in match. He tried to scramble with a scrambler when he had better position on Blaze and should have just held it.

Yup.

he didn't have to wrestle Kasak!

See above.

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Not sold on Lockett

 

[johnstownsteel]

Brands refuses to shake Lockett’s hand. I think Tom.

To be fair, it looked like he was more interested in finishing berating the ref to notice the handshake.

 

[o_BruceK-PSU83]

Still, being right there with MC is pretty damn good

Indeed. Lockett is a darn tough out and clearly in the upper echelon as a freshman.

Yeah and Facundo beat Levi last summer in freestyle. Lol. Get your point tho....
