Thanks Tom!

It's often interesting to see how other programs are handling a PSU match. Here's what Purdue is doing:

- admission is free
- they are giving out Purdue Wrestling roller banners to all attendees
- the Purdue team is conducting an autograph session after the conclusion of the dual

On Sunday, before they host Rutgers @ 1 pm, the Purdue wrestling coaching staff is staging a 1-hour clinic for 8th graders and younger, from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm EST.

That's awesome -- particularly the part about hosting a clinic for the kids. THIS is one of the many ways, but probably one of the most important ones, we grow the sport.

Very nice. Or the kids can watch PSU put on a clinic tonight

“Now, you see, Jimmy. Just be Jason Nolf and you’ll definitely win a match or two”

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I might miss the 1st bout. Damn pizza joint was much slower than I anticipated

 

[Tom McAndrew]

125: Schnupp falls 1-6. He executed a rideout in the 3rd period, but could not turn Schroeder.

0-3, Purdue

 

[PSUcup1]

Oh no.

 

[dsites52]

Jeezus...

 

[jrd23psu]

Sometimes you just have to give it up and know that you'll score yours.

 

[WreslingFan0314]

RBY needs to shelve that someersault/flip move. Tried it on Thornton who never let go and got the takedown. RBY calls for injury timeout on the way back down before he hit the mat.

Good way to get hurt IMO

 

[LemonPie]

Every year with this injury crap. Seems impossible to get 10 kids through a season.

 

[PSUcup1]

Why no challenge by the staff. Rby had a TD

 

[PAwrestling]

Did RBY inj def

 

[WreslingFan0314]

Did RBY inj def

No, he's just wrestling gimpy. Losing 6-0 in the 3rd period at the moment

 

[PSUcup1]

Clear locked hands by Purdue

 

[LemonPie]

Folkstyle is such a knee killer. Probably a torn ACL

 

[BoHunter0210]

He should have inj def. it could be hurt worse

133: RBY vs. Ben Thornton

Per 1
Thornton gets in on the leg, and elevates it. RBY tried to flip out of the hold, but got taken to the mat, 0-2. Injury stoppage for RBY. Seems to be an issue with the right knee. Thornton takes bottom for the restart, and is out quickly, 0-3. Thornton shoots, is blocked, then RBY with a counter and Thornton sprawls, nothing. RBY tries a shot, then another, both blocked. End.

Per 2
Thornton takes bottom. He's up and out quickly, 0-4. RBY in, gets behind, can't quite get him down, then Thornton with a counter and gets a leg, they scramble, RBY gets an ankle, Thornton breaks it, then Thornton gets behind and trips RBY down for the TD, 0-6.

Per 3
RBY takes bottom. He's to his feet, does a shoulder roll, then Thornton dives on the leg and keeps control. RBY to his feet, tripped back down, and OOB with 1:26 left. Shoulder roll by RBY and he gets the esc, 1-6. 1 min left. To much tie-ups for this deficit. RBY tries a duck, blocked, then RBY gets a throw-by for a TD, 3-6. Then he cuts him, 3-7. Thornton is fleeing him. RBY goes to his knee in agony, and Thornton ties him up till the buzzer. Damn. Hope the knee was just tweaked.

0-6, Purdue

 

[dsites52]

That’s less than optimal.

 

[WreslingFan0314]

Geez, he tries to jump over the top of a standing Ben Thornton and hurts himself again. Fortunately right near the end of the match.

 

[PSUer1989]

Last leap was ill advised...love his fight but have to be smart

 

[ptomaselli]

What is going on with our guys giving the leg so easy? Not everyone is Nolf.

 

[mcruny42]

Anyone watching tOSU v UM too?

 

[Cyclingmik]

Anyone watching tOSU v UM too?

Yep

 

[PSU_Pride_93]

I’m by no means a doctor but i WebMD the injury and I’m now very concerned...

 

[johnstownsteel]

Anyone watching tOSU v UM too?

Recording it.

Probably too much to ask that no one spoils it. Lol

 

[LemonPie]

PSU's kinesiology department must be subpar

 

[RandyL]

what the hell is with the coaches?

 

[PD4thespawn]

Recording it.

Probably too much to ask that no one spoils it. Lol

plus fast forward also

 

[mcruny42]

Micic vs Pletcher was a bit of a statement
I wont spoil it as to who made the statement

 

[PSUcup1]

Yeah.

what the hell is with the coaches?

I’m with you. Not the staffs best moment in that match.

Should have been pulled off and then missed 2 challenge opportunities IMO

 

[LDandy]

I cringed the first time RBY tried it in Rec Hall, and once again tonight. The risk reward is like 95% risk to 5% reward. That move needs to be shelved for good.

 

[dsites52]

I’m sure I’m being a homer, but I think Nick is close. In flashes he looks like a guy that can make a run to the semis. He just need to put it together or have a bracket fall apart in front of him.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

141: Nick Lee vs. Nate Limmex

Per 1
Limmex in on a single, has his head inside, Lee sprawls, and a stalemate with 1:50 left. Lee spins around and gets the TD, 2-0. Limmex out quickly, 2-1. Lee in on a double and gets the TD, 4-1. He cuts him, 4-2. Stall warning on Limmex. Stalemate with 29 sec. Lee in on another double and gets the TD, 6-2. End. RT @ 38 sec for Lee

Per 2
Lee defers, and Limmex takes bottom. Lee flattens him, and works for an arm bar. Limmex not doing anything. Lee is cranking on the arm. Lee switches to the other side, and gets 4 NF, 10-2. Lee throws in the boots. Rideout. RT @ 2:38 for Lee

Per 3
Leet takes bottom. He stands, tries to sit out, nothing, stands again, and peels out, 11-2. Lee shoots, blocked. Hands to the face against Limmex makes it 12-2. Lee trips Limmex to the mat on the restart, 14-2. He cuts him, 14-3. Lee in again, they scramble, Limmex hanging on to the thigh, and a stalemate with 46 sec left. RT is locked.

He really just needs to clean up his single finish a bit

 

[johnstownsteel]

Nope. Not being a homer. He’s very very close.

 

[PSUcup1]

Any reason that Berge not going tonight?
