What mat?

 

[mcpat]

What mat?

I suggest matcast tonight

 

[dunkej01]

to the internet soldiers who battled in the internet wars these past 3 days........We Salute You!

 

[rll1957]

Just go out and win the whole damn thing. Oh we already did that. We’ll just go out and dominate

 

[AgSurfer]

What mat?

I think right after Carton/Pletcher is done.

 

[doublehaul]

What mat?

I believe all on mat 1.

 

[a_mshaffer]

no special watch party with different guests like in previous years. Looks like espn+ is going to dupe espn (same stream)

 

[johnstownsteel]

Let's go Levi!!!!!!

 

[dunkej01]

has ranger dan been around lately? Wondering if yinz want pumpkin ball updates during the Spencer Lee match.

Hopefully Levi sees the top of the podium and says "I want to go to there"

 

[billrag]

O'Connor looks tight, Haines looks loose. Not sure that means anything, just sayin'.....

 

[LDandy]

Let's go Levi!

You don't know what you don't know. Sometimes ignorance of the magnitude is a secret weapon.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

O'Connor looks pretty strong

 

[dsites52]

Damn. Remind me to never piss off Mr. Haines. He's a large man.

 

[dunkej01]

gassing him from bottom?!?!?

 

[palmettolion]

Haines looks like he's wrestling through an adrenaline dump.

 

[PSUcup1]

Does this ref know the rules?? That’s stalling on top

 

[NittanyChris]

NO WAY THAT WAS TWO!

 

[dsites52]

Does this ref know the rules?? That’s stalling on top

Right? 5 secs below the waist

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

NO WAY THAT WAS TWO!

Agree. We'll see what the review brings.

 

[sneedram55]

That is why you challenge.

 

[Hotshoe]

Good call. That was nonsense.

 

[dunkej01]

I would hope people dont get mad around here about the ankle ride AOC is doing

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Not a good 2nd period for Haines. O'Conner looks bigger and stronger.

 

[Hotshoe]

Levi needs to realize, he has time.

 

[86PSUPaul]

has ranger dan been around lately? Wondering if yinz want pumpkin ball updates during the Spencer Lee match.

Haven’t seen him in a while. Ok with me.

 

[Crunched]

Come on feet to back

 

[mcpat]

Incredible tournament and season, Levi. Hold your head high.

 

[Hotshoe]

Great effort by Levi. Great tourney.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Tough ask for Haines. Fifth year senior and former NCAA champ.

Edit - 6th year senior with man strength. O'Conner graduated HS in 2017.

 

[billrag]

O'Connor brought it. I thought there was some stalling from his top ride, but none in the third period in neutral. He earned it. Great season for Levi though, well-done young man.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Great job Levi. Such a pleasure to get to root for ya!!! And we get 3 more years.!!

 

[RealMicah]

Great season Levi. Nothing to be ashamed of.
