And he lives 5 miles away.
2024 B1Gs - Day 2
- Thread starter STAND with PRIDE
- Start date
And did you accurately predicte he would TF Caliendo, and make it look easy?
Agreed, Hamiti is a top 4 seed probably and was undefeated coming in - it's not like we have a lot of history in regards to KOT v Hamiti especially this year. Beyond that, it's all about matchups - just because Hamiti had success on counters versus MM doesn't mean KOT will. Match told us little about a MM-KOT matchup imho.
My buddy who is a college Basketball fan and knows nothing about wrestling just text me and says “MM is my favorite wrestler and that was effing awesome!”
Hope some of the other guys start to wrestle like him. Awesome 👏!!!
Truax v 1-seed Isaiah Salazar
- Truax gets a leg but Salazar shakes it off easily. Salazar is noticably thicker than Bernie.
- Truax looked go-behind but didn't get far.
- Truax chooses bottom in second.
- Salazar with a mat return. Bernie out with only :40 RT for Salazar. 1-0.
- Salazar with a snatch single, Bernie a nice job defending, and time runs out.
- Salazar from bottom to start the third, and he's out. 1-1, RT not a factor.
- Truax looked for the low single but doesn't get it.
- Salazar gets a leg clean, but Bernie cuts the corner. Salazar looking to pop up, and time runs out. SV
- Truax with some action from front headlock position but no. Bernie looks to jump on a fallen Salazar but Salazar grabs a leg, scramble ensues.
- Salazar wins the scramble, gets back points, but no pin. 8-1. Truax was close there though, he can beat this guy.
KOT is pretty long and an even better scrambler. I think he's going to eat MM alive in that left side hi-c position and I think he'll be able to ride him too.
I can't fault Bernie's effort in that one. He looks much better than he did earlier in the season. He was aggressive.
Damn, Truax was right there and had a great chance for the winning TD in OT; somehow Salazar scrambled out of it.
I had a similar experience. Parent of a Penn state student I know
Bernie had a solid tourney. So close late, but Salazar is a horse!
Fair enough...
But I do like Hawkeye fans picking against PSU wrestlers.
Lets just say it has worked out for me in the past.
Bernie had a great tournament. Close at the end but Isaiah is so strong
I like where Bernie is at heading into Nationals.
I thought he had Salazar when he faked that shot so well Salazar fell on his stomach near end of 3rd. Just couldn't complete the go behind.
That's definitely one Bernie can turn around.
Bernie is right there. I like him in the rematch. Salazar has unreal strength. Especially in his thighs and eyebrows.
We shall see hopefully. One things for sure kot does not have anywhere near the reach hamiti has
Hawkeye Report: Hamiti domination for 90 percent of the match, then gives the match away to MM by "rolling around".
Yep. That was you Madden.
Yep. That was you Madden.
Looks like Nebraska is going to take third over Iowa
If you were to ask me who the last wrestler in the world would be to come out to "Hell's Bells" I'd have said Aaron Brooks.
One guy over there in an alternate universe said MM gassed. LOL
Gotta have the gas tank to pull it off. His cardio must be unreal!
Because he's a lot better than we give him credit for?
Brooks v Glazier
- I think Glazier was the only wrestler to not get bonused by Brooks this year.
- Brooks drops to legs, get the TD. Lets him go, 3-1.
- Brooks with a head snap, drops to a leg, converts easily. Going to built up some RT now. 6-1, RT over a minute.
- Brooks with ride out. 1:46.
- Brooks starts second from bottom, he's up and out. 1:34 RT, 7-1.
- Brooks with some level changes and Glazier goes over. 10-1, :45 remaining. Brooks content to ride him out.
- Glazier chooses neutral to start third.
- Glazier with a shot, Brooks turns it into his own TD. Lets him up. 13-2, RT locked.
- Brooks with a beauty of an ankle pick. 16-3. Lets him up.
- Brooks with a leg trip, and he's got the TF. 20-4.
- Four-time Big Ten Champ, Aaron Brooks!
