Wrestling B1G Tournament -- Session 1 Thread

[jmadden1998]

Kerk gonna have almost 6 min of riding time.

 

[Ruby Tues]

Wish Greg would play catch and release with these guys!

 

[js8793]

Maybe Kerk’s just conserving energy for later matches. He could take Orndorff down 20 times if he played catch and release.

careful now you're going to get yelled at

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

I don’t know, fellas. Six minutes of RT and no backs seems like a silly strategy to me.

 

[mcpat]

5:55 of riding time in a seven minute match. Don’t think I’ve seen that before.

 

[Hotshoe]

This is absolute nonsense. Orndorff should have been stalled out. This is ridiculously embarrassing for wrestling.

 

[tullfan68]

Are you worried?

LOL no reason to be!!

 

[Hotshoe]

I don’t know, fellas. Six minutes of RT and no backs seems like a silly strategy to me.

You ever try to turn a floppy whale?

 

[apoharrow]

Are done till session 2?

 

[tullfan68]

I don’t know, fellas. Six minutes of RT and no backs seems like a silly strategy to me.

yea esp when the bottom guy is stalling!

 

[Hotshoe]

I don’t know, fellas. Six minutes of RT and no backs seems like a silly strategy to me.

I know. Folk style officiating is a joke. Imagine over 5 minutes of ride time in freestyle.

 

[Psugo823]

Big fat whale stalls for 7 minutes and gets ONE warning lol

 

[82bordeaux]

This is absolute nonsense. Orndorff should have been stalled out. This is ridiculously embarrassing for wrestling.

Angel Rivera called RBY for 2 stalls in 12 seconds. His consistency executing his craft is unmatched.

 

[Hotshoe]

Oh boy, I can't wait to turn on the TV and watch a whale never move. Sounds great! The NCAA and their pathetic refs own this sh&t show.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Kerk could use a couple of go-to turns or tilts. He is so dominant in neutral and on top he could really rack up the 'big' bonus if his tool kit were a little bit more diverse. Nice problems to face.

 

[ptdan]

We have 3 in the round of 12 with most weights having 9 allocations. Win or go home at this point.

Like peaking, stalling is just a state of mind.

 

[Zjocko]

Yeah I don't understand, he could do anything he wants to Orndorff other than turn him. What's the point of laying on him and just settling for a Major? He could finish the match quicker just by taking him down over and over and teching him. Doesn't look like taking him down takes much energy.

 

[Hotshoe]

There is no defending this nonsense. Sumo wrestling has more action.

 

[nerfstate]

You're kidding, right? I doubt very much that anyone on our team has scored more back points than DGK this year. His tilts especially are lights out against most competition.

 

[mcpat]

I think PSU is done until 5:30. Anyone say otherwise?

 

[nitlion6]

I've never seen a better ankle pick than Brooks'

Never watched Cael?

 

[Zukovski]

He would be a high scorer if there was a step out rule. All he does is drive is guy out when on top.

Iowa guys all push standing opponents OB but drag them down near the boundary while keeping a toe in bounds.

 

[Hotshoe]

It is the refs job to specifically keep the wrestling continuing.

 

[AndEEss]

I think he’d have a better chance of decking Orndorff if he went feet to back.

And, with more TD attempts, he gets more opportunities for that.

 

[McScoreley]

We have 3 in the round of 12 with most weights having 9 allocations. Win or go home at this point.

Yes for Steen, I think SVN and Facundo are locks for a wildcard, that being said, we have major issues if they're 0-2 with their draws.

 

[creamery freak]

Can we still win this with only 7 scoring wrestlers left on the front side?

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Good grief. Kerk with 2:45 of riding time a zero stall calls. Absolutely, let's grow the sport. Now over 3 minutes, and zero stall calls. Refs should be embarrassed and fired.

Didn’t exactly do a ton on top to earn them

 

[nitlion6]

Hopefully Dean was wrestling to conserve energy lol

Hoy did beat Warner in their dual meet.

 

[ptdan]

Yes for Steen, I think SVN and Facundo are locks for a wildcard, that being said, we have major issues if they're 0-2 with their draws.

Not trying to be a downer but the importance of the round of 12 must be stated. Yes SVN path to a rematch with Murin for third seems highly possible. Facundo a little tougher but doable.

 

[El-Jefe]

Yes for Steen, I think SVN and Facundo are locks for a wildcard, that being said, we have major issues if they're 0-2 with their draws.

Both won their openers.

 

[Sportfan2017]

Watching on the BIG 10 Network. It is easy to tell if a Penn State wrestler is winning............you won't see any of the match.

 

[Psugo823]

Done till 5:30

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Looks like Paddy is going out of the tourney in consy 1.

 

[McScoreley]

Both won their openers.

I pulled a @js8793

 

[District four]

Hoy did beat Warner in their dual meet.

Yes

 

[Psugo823]

Looks like Paddy is going out of the tourney in consy 1.

He rolled right over for Siebrecht

 

[creamery freak]

Team scores of top six. Sorry if already posted.

PSU. 63.5. 7 in semi.
Iowa. 63.5. 6 in
Minny. 51.5. 5 in
OSU. 45.5 5 in
Nebby. 45. 5 in
Mich. 43. 4 in

Yes

It wasn't a question, just a statement pointing out the Minnesota 197 pounder is pretty good.

 

[mcpat]
