Souther Scuffle Day 2 Official Thread

[dsites52]

Also, Cassar didn’t win a single match as a RSFr. Is he not a championship piece???

 

[PSU_Pride_93]

Of all the guys on the team, I think I feel the most at ease when Bo wrestles.

after this tourney, which Bo are we talking about?

 

[jrd23psu]

Remember when everyone said old Noodle Arms wouldn't be able to do what he did at 184 at 197? He looks exactly the same at 197.

 

[pish69]

Damn I’m gonna miss Bo and Jason next year! Thankfully I get to watch them for 3 more months.

[sneedram55]

Man, I love this team. So much f*n!

 

[dmm53]

Nickal is 4 for 4 with pins. He didn't appreciate Nolf breaking the PSU pin record before him and is trying to catch up.

If he pins in the finals, it would likely be the first time it has happened at the Scuffle. Very rare for any major tournament in any case.

 

[CropDuster507]

I'm going over cradles tomorrow.

 

[jrd23psu]

after this tourney, which Bo are we talking about?

The one who pins everybody...

 

[nerfstate]

Why do i have this feeling that Bo is going to try to do this more quickly?

almost did it.

 

[RLSalty]

sorry, need split screen reminder quickly

 

[NewarkLion96]

It has been a while. This is the best home office audio in weeks.

 

[mcruny42]

You mean other guys like Hall, Cenzo and Cassar?

Hah yes but I was taking his comment to mean after those guys graduate!

 

[Maddog]

after this tourney, which Bo are we talking about?

BoN vs BoP?

 

[jrd23psu]

Nevills and White should be a good one. If Nevills wins does Cael let 157 and HWT go in the finals?

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Nick Lee says hi.

Plus Ohio State loses Martin and Micah and McKenna this year. Sasso and Hoffman look good, but Heinselman got pinned on a tilt at Midlands.

Let alone Kaleb Romero scares no one

 

[tikk10]

I'm only going to pbp Cassar's match if someone wants to do Nevills. PBP'ing Nolf's matches are tough enough but trying to do Pipher's simultaneously broke me.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Remember when everyone said old Noodle Arms wouldn't be able to do what he did at 184 at 197? He looks exactly the same at 197.

Maybe even better, as crazy as that sounds

 

[El-Jefe]

Ha! I forgot him, and there's probably a reason for that.

 

[millerjs32]

Really.... I would guess 1AAAAAAAAAA would be Nolf?

 

[RoarLions1]

A lot of people think the sky is falling because we don't have a finalist at 149lbs. You're forgetting Teasdale and Joe Lee. We'll be fine.

Remember when everyone said old Noodle Arms wouldn't be able to do what he did at 184 at 197? He looks exactly the same at 197.

Just checking, jrd…"a lot of people", and "everyone" just isn't true. Doubt too many at all are in sky-is-falling mode, unless one is not just glass-half-empty, but glass-dry-as-a-bone. And I didn't hear one single PSU fan say anything about ol' noodle arms being any less a BP guy at 197. Maybe you meant non-Penn Staters?

 

[PSU_Pride_93]

Nevills and White should be a good one. If Nevills wins does Cael let 157 and HWT go in the finals?

I was wondering the same. you have scenarios where why injure any wrestler but the only other reason is at HWT, assume Nevills wins, would you want to cause more speculation about HWT going forward.

should be interested come finals

 

[Cold Smoke]

Jason...peed off? Yeah, right.

Jason is such a nice guy that he doles out complimentary takedowns to opponents just to give them something to tell their grandchildren about. Then he pins them.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

I think we need to enjoy this season as much as we possibly can.

I do not see Teske, Teasdale, Berge, Verkleeren, Manville, and Seth Nevills as pieces of a championship team.

RBY and Brooks will be studs. Beard...I have no idea.

I realize this is an extremely pessimistic post and people will talk about other teams waiting for Ruth and Taylor to graduate only to be met with the likes of Retherford, Nolf, and Nickal. I just don't know if I have confidence in lightning striking a third time.

In Cael we trust I suppose.

This is a Bizarro HR post. Bnicolls and crew would be ticketing 160 points for next year’s team.

To quote Aaron Rodgers - Relax

 

[jrd23psu]

Anyone else having feed issues?

 

[RoarLions1]

One more weight class to go, and it's clear to me -- again -- this TEAM is pretty good. All 37 are contributors...hope no one forgets that.

160 pt prediction would be sky falling, meteors shooting, volcanoes spewing, 4 horsemen riding level of pessimism.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Ha! I forgot him, and there's probably a reason for that.

But he’s a small town Ohio high school football star, so you know the Bucknuts are going to anoint him

 

[dsites52]

I liked Romero, then he went to wrestle for the bad guys. My hope is that he washes out and ends up at Edinboro or Clarion, somewhere I can root for him.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Anyone else having feed issues?

I’m hungry, if that’s what you mean.

 

[dbldoofus]

Stole my damn joke, Bruce

 

[RandyL]

What was BoN's time?

I am a tough guy on my computer...I beat the crap out of it all the time, especially on days like this when I cant even get the audio feed.
Have separate budget just for computer repairs

 

[jrd23psu]

Yes, I did mean non-PSU fans. When Bo announced he was moving I saw a lot of chatter around various forums that Bo would have a lot more close matches at 197lbs and wouldn't be able to be one of the most exciting guys in college wrestling against guys at a bigger weight. He looks exactly the same as he did at 184lbs. I think it was more wishful thinking than anything.

I was generalizing when I said everybody, though. I meant the few in year who seem to be down on us since 149lbs didn't produce a finalist today.

 

[tikk10]

Cassar v Voss (George Mason)

• Cassar snatches a knee and Voss goes straight down
• Cassar lets him up, 2-1
  
• Cassar hits a double, then lets him up, 4-2
  
• Voss tries for a leg but the faster Cassar goes behind, Voss now up, 6-3
• Cassar with another double, nice D though by Voss, who splits (ow)... but Cassar readjusts, gets the two and runs out the clock, 8-3 with 1:15 RT

Second

• Voss takes down
• Cassar content to ride, gets RT up to 1:54 before letting Voss up with a minute plus left
  
• Cassar gets an ankle and works to convert; the heavier Voss with nice D, gets a stalemate. 8-4
  
• Cassar with another double and no fight this time, period ends, 10-4 with RT locked

Third

• Neutral
• Voss gets to the ankles and catches a surprised Cassar. Releases, 11-6
• Cassar with yet another double, 13-6
• Cassar rides out, 14-6, gets the major

 

[Maddog]

What was BoN's time?

1:12

 

[mcruny42]

So will RBY & Berge wrestle again shortly?

 

[tikk10]

Didn't see how White's points came but I'm guessing a first period takedown and rideout, followed by a second period wire-to-wire rideout. White is good but anyone looking for mystery about who should be starting at HWT will be disappointed, in all likelihood.

 

[PA Power]

Cassar looks awesome.

 

[CropDuster507]

I see a lot of coaches are mic'd up for these semis by wrestling media.

I'd be fired so quick.

 

[dmm53]

RBY up now in consolations

 

[sneedram55]

So will RBY & Berge wrestle again shortly?

Yes. RbY on mat 3 now.
