Sooner Sunday
- Thread starter ionel
- Start date
Reminds me of another OSU 133 pounder who I believe made his debut against a returning national champion at Bedlam and pinned him. I was there (2016, I believe).
Didn't even need a take down. Give the kid some Whataburger fries.Maybe/hopefully one take down enough to win.
BTW, announcer said the match is a sellout! It looks it too. Needless to say the highlight was Jax’s debut!
Jax beat him like the kid stole something from him.
157 - Robideau with a 21-6 TF.
What an a$$ kicking.
37-0 oSu

Chase was half right ... I mean zero right.
Minor injury. He'll be fine.
I thought Spratley wrestled okay with an escape, and a ride out but he couldn't get a takedown. Hendrickson did give up a stalling point but Spratley should have gotten a takedown. Jax wrestled aggressively as usual and pinned an outmatched opponent. Sergio wrestled okay but could not get a takedown against an opponent who was stalling. Swiderski is in better shape and wrestled good on his feet. He did not take the down position, maybe smart but he has been poor on bottom, and he needs to improve. Robideau looked very sharp, clean and aggressive and teched his opponent by dominating on his feet. Great match! But I don't like that we wrestled 3 straight matches without a takedown 197, HWT and 125.
Why even come if you aren’t going to compete? Might as well cancel the program. 15 stall calls and no takedowns isn’t the way to go right Micco?

Your predictions are about as good as your old man's.
I get frustrated with Doucet as much as anyone, but I will say that Mora is a stall master. He was able to stave off getting teched/pinned by Wyatt last year longer than most.
The ou 125 might be the shortest D1 athlete I’ve ever seen. His stance might have been lower than Anthony Robles lol. Couldn’t believe he took down. Was no way he was going to escape.
I'm going to leave the predictions to someone who knows what they are talking about. Facundo handled Shubert with ease and Ryder had two good periods with 2 takedowns and a near fall before bad 3rd period. Merrill with no offense decisioned Parker on an escape. Parker thought it was a boxing match which he might have won on points as he had more punches thrown. The only offensive points of the night scored by OU was the Near fall by Soldano. We had 4 matches where we did not score a takedown but in 3 of the 4 OU made no attempt for a takedown and was satisfied with stalling.
TS wrestled OK. Hedrickson's no scrub. TS is better than he showed tonight for sure.
Not much to be desired from the Jax match.
SV is a mat wrestler and expert at leg defense. Hopefully, he'll get better at scoring on his feet.
CS seemingly gets better every match and it appears his lungs are getting in shape..
LR is special.
Vega had quite a stare (maybe some words) toward the OU bench after the match to show his disgust at the stalling.
Sometimes you have to wrestle smart and gut out a close match. Reminds me of Hamiti against Norman at Vegas last year. Dean did ok at the end when it really mattered.
My .02 is that GIA boogered the **** out of them.
If people don’t think home field advantage is a thing, they need my seats for a dual.
Twice, Mark Hall told a kid (that I heard) not to worry about the environment but to Wrestle their match. “My words not his”
Kish actually looked at me after Jax and mouthed “wow” or “whoa” in a pleased manner.
Even the oppo bench was impressed! My wife wants to buy a house in Stillwater and a plane…and a beach house and a mountain house. But leaving StillVegas after that, she wants to move to Stillwater.
It was a good night!
