Team Scores at the end of Session 3:

PSU - 74
Ohio St - 59
Iowa - 58
Ok. St. - 47.5
Cornell - 47
Mizzou - 43.5

Nebraska - 27
Lehigh - 25.5
UVA - 22.5
Illini - 22
ASU - 21
No. Iowa - 20
etc.

 

[LemonPie]

And honestly, it seems like Nevills gets worse the closer he gets to 260. 257 is heavy for him this year.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

If someone wants to post the matches for Ohio State, Iowa, and Ok. St., have at it. I did that last night, but I'm a little fried.

 

[underoath437]

If anyone is interested in a Kyle Snyder update, here is one:

"Ryan said he told Snyder it'd be fine if he withdrew to avoid further injury.

"I told him he didn't have to wrestle," Ryan said. "He wants to. He didn't even flinch when I suggested that.""

And by the way, I'm extremely jealous of how close you are to the action

 

[tikk10]

And one from today. Your dose of pain.

Great photos! One otherwise nondescript photo made me shake my head in appreciation--TWO Olympic champions in someone's corner. (Cael and Varner)

 

[diggerpup]

Hey.....

..... what mat will Carton vs Pletcher be on ?

 

[Callthestall]

And one from today. Your dose of pain.

When we had the music thread . I chose a two part answer for Zain.
The start of the match, Train Train by Blackfoot.
End of the match King of Pain, The Police. This picture validates my answer.

 

[Nittany.Lion]

If everyone wrestles to seed from this point I assume that we finish with the lead (not accounting for bonus pts) how many points would we lead by?

 

[LemonPie]

still image alert:

Zahid on top! We're doomed.

I'll leave it to others to do an analysis of the matchups.

 

[goStanford18]

Semis should be fireworks from start to finish.

Zahid Valencia vs. Mark Hall is the most intriguing match for me!

I'll be rooting for the California hammer.

 

[diggerpup]

If no one else, I can take a crack at it in 20 mins ...

Just looking at it from a distance, it appears Oklahoma State has the most matches in which they are heavy favorites, albeit in consy's.

 

[dsites52]

Breaking news!

This is exclusive video taken of Tom Brands and Brandon Sorensen discussing his semi-final match vs. Zain.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I gave up waiting on you guys. All of the info on the matches for Ohio St., Iowa, and Ok. St. are in my above post.

 

[21Guns]

Is it 8 points for a win tonight and 4 for a championship night win? Trying to recall...

 

[findtheStrength]

any reason to be nervous for the bo/brooks match tonight? brooks seems to be steam rolling. i dont know their history other than the quick pin in the dual meet

 

[kjb32812]

TIFWIW but tMB guys saying BoJo reinjured his ankle and Clark has a torn Labrum. May have already been talked about here.

 

[diggerpup]

I gave up waiting on you guys. All of the info on the matches for Ohio St., Iowa, and Ok. St. are in my above post.

Sigh..... I posted that I was going to do it !!!!! Sheesh. Lol

Sorry, Tom. But in our defense, the Rocks have been rolling for quite some time, already.

 

[backdrft76]

Anybody hear anything recently on Snyder? Rumors, facts, whatever??

They're running him out there.

 

[CentexLion]

OK. Lousy efficiency day at work today. The work computer really bogs down when trying to run the following, so I am forced to shut down PowerPoint, Word, and Excel

1. ESPN3 in quad view on one tab
2. Byers audio at gopsusports on another tab
3. Penn State Wrestling Club Team score on another tab
4. Trackwrestling mat assignments and scoring on another tab
5. Penn State Wrestling Forum on another

Work will need to get be a better computer next March.

The wife and daughter just notified me that they are heading off to the movies to watch Beauty and the Beast and then hitting the mall so the daughter can get new clothes for spring when she heads back to college Sunday. Going to be out from 4 Central until 9.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Couldn't ask for a better setup. Stopping on the way home now, for Central Texas BBQ. A pound of moist brisket, half a chicken, and a beef rib. 6 pack of Shiner Bock beer. Maybe get a pint of coleslaw or creamed corn, as I need to have a balanced diet. All served with white bread by the real BBQ houses (or saltines). Gotta make certain I have that food pyramid thing intact as well.

Only issue is I have a Skype call with China from 7 Central until 8. Right during the start of the matches. So, it will be interesting to see their reaction to me feasting and drinking with Byers yelling in the background: Zain with the pin!!!!!!! Nolf with the pin!!!!!! Joseph with the decision!!!!!! Hall with upset!!!!! Bo with the pin in 42 seconds!!!!!!

Later

 

[FineMaterial]

Is it 8 points for a win tonight and 4 for a championship night win? Trying to recall...

7 + 4

 

[21Guns]

7 + 4

Thx. 7 for the win tonight, and 4 more for a win tomorrow night.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Jimmy has already outscored Pletcher, Burcher and Rodriguez combined.

How about 1 more win Jimmy - he might outscore Mymar by himself. Wouldn't that be sweet

 

[Lionpride19]

CentexLion's post just made my night! Let's GO STATE!!

My wife told me she's having a "girls night" tomorrow night to go see beauty and the beast. I'm putting the baby to bed by seven and having the boys over for grilling and NCAA Finals. #glorious
