He reminds me of an inked up Matt Brown. Strong and just sound on fundamentals.

This might be the best job from a ref all year.
It certainly looks like his finals appearance 2 years ago was not a fluke. He has some good offense for sure.
I am perfectly comfortable in my knowledge and appreciation of wrestling. Enough so that it is easy for me to recognize a truly stupid statement. Such as yours. The need to give a totally incorrect and stupid perspective any in depth analysis is non existent.
Our guys are rolling. Rocco is a stud who has 100% improved in this room. Josh is just dynamite.
Barrsenbrink just doing his usual thing. Damn, this team is just a blast to watch!
Let's go Cole!
Let's go Cole!
Let’s go Connor!
When the ref isn’t mentioned 9 pages of posts, you’re probably right
Maybe the best outside step in the NCAA, at least with Kerk and AB out.
It’s a new moniker but I’m pretty sure that’s Bushwood.
I believe he has done several of our matches this year. He is a good one.
I hope he refs all 8 of our finals matches at NCAAs.
It is the legend.It’s a new moniker but I’m pretty sure that’s Bushwood.
We’re going to need all 8 of them to win!I believe he has done several of our matches this year. He is a good one.
I hope he refs all 8 of our finals matches at NCAAs.
Good point! He also reminds me of Carter Starocci.

I have to believe Zach understood immediately that Penn State upgraded.
No he’s a legend. THE legend is Spyker.
Levi and Mesenbrink in that convo as well. Levi hasn’t hit his outside step as often this season though
Gotcha. Bushwood is THE legend on the McAndrew Board.No he’s a legend. THE legend is Spyker.
Taye should've been warned on top for not returning. Not sure it will matter but he shouldve been warned
Ghadiali. Looked good for about 3 minutes.
Nice effort by Cole. So close on a couple TDs.
As I said. My guess is you are butthurt someone pointed out the level of stupidity in your comparison. I may be wrong though. Sadly it could be you think you made a valid analogy.
