Suriano's ankle issue has made the team race more competitive. Gulibon dropping into the consolations so quickly is the only surprise for PSU. PSU's bonus point machines are what has them in 1st place.

Session 1 was pretty good for PSU. Here's hoping that Session 2 is also very good for PSU.

I should be around for all of this Session for PBP.

Session 2 starts with a round of consolations, correct ?

So will start around 7pm?

 

[TexasLion1979]

Track wrestling has the four 125 consolations up and it shows the 133 consolations on deck.

I dont think many guys will be joining this thread.
They wont quit arguing in the earlier thread in time to tune in.

[Tom McAndrew]

Gulibon will be the 1st PSUer to be wrestling this evening. He's the 3rd match to go on Mat 1.

Right here amigo. I can multi-task.

 

[dunkej01]

realbuto went for it against preisch which was stoned and RB recovered. great match.... I put this here because it matters for the hall talk when he kicks butt tonight

RB w an E to start 2nd and its 1-0 RB end of 2

 

[dunkej01]

RP out quick RT not a factor and its 1-1 with 1:30 to go. IM a RP fan but he should be hit for stalling. hasnt taken a shot yet.

RB gets a HiC to work with a 45 to go. RP right out, and its 3-2 RB

and thats how it ends. 3-2. so if hall wins the Big, probably the 3 seed.

that would be a lightning semi w hall and RB. no fear/high flyers!!!

Someone remind the coaches to poke Nolf in the nose right before he goes out.

No ones worried he gets the taste of blood again he might kill the kid?

Nevills Interview
I like the look in his eye when asked about Medbery.

 

[mcruny42]

Lets go Jimmy, gotta get back on track tonight.

 

[psbc19]

Does Jimmy need at least one win to qualify for nationals? Not sure how that all works if someone could help me out

 

[FineMaterial]

Gulibon in the hole Mat 1

You're walking on very thin ice by asking that question young man....

Were you able to reattach your head after having it ripped off earlier when you asked the same question ? I hope so.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

pretty sure a win in this round of consolations does ensure Jimmy will go to Nationals. If he wants a decent seed at Nationals, he's going to have to win several matches in consolations.

I just checked, and yes, he does need to win this match. If he does, then the worst he can finish is 7th. If he loses, then he'd need an at-large bid.

Duct tape....it's amazing $h@#!!

Some important matches for the team race as well. May face Pletcher and Carton.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Jimmy up. Come on Jimmy!!

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Jimmy on Mat 1 now.

 

[El-Jefe]

B10 gets 9 qualifiers at 141. Jimmy wins here, and he's guaranteed 8th.

 

[KidNittany]

It would certainly help. Hopefully he just wins third or a qualifying bout and this isn't thought about further.

It operates on a case-by-case basis, but it's a hard sell to argue that you should go to Nationals instead of guys who outplace you at BIGs, barring certain circumstances (i.e. Injury, exemplary record with a bad day).

The 165 situation the last two years comes to me as a good example. Two years ago, Hammond was a fringe qualifier. If he won a qualifying match, he goes. Instead he loses to Garrett Sutton. He ends up staying home.

Go to last year and Morelli loses to Rhoads. But you look at the landscape, and he had clearly stronger wins over the season than the field. He gets in.

I think his second-half of the year and those wins could save him should that happen.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Jimmy on Mat 1 now.

In my best George Michael voice.... Gotta have faith faith faith....
