Why "Social Media" is great....

Nolf finally up, led into the ring by Kyle Snyder and a trademark-infringing Squid Game character.

• Nolf gives up a leg, fights off but and gives up a 4.
• Nolf in on a double, gets two. Can't turn.
• Nolf in a leg, tree tops, looks footwsweep, gets the two, two more with a gut. Up 6-4.
• Nolf again to a leg, lifts and gets two. 8-4 at break.
• Nolf to an ankle, it's stalemated.
• Nolf reattack, gets two going out of bounds. 10-4.
• Nolf great sprawl, goes behind on a gassed Tsabolov 12-4.
• Tsabolov in on leg, exposes and it's 12-8. Looked to be in tight on a lace but didn't have the gas to turn it.
• Nolf with a blast double (!) for four, 16-8. :30 remaining.
• Step out for Tsabolov but it's charity b/c it looked like a Nolf TD. 16-9 Nolf final.

Nolf 6-4:at intermission.

Highly recommend listening as well. It's like soccer on the Spanish channel.

Jason 16-8 final and wasn't that close.

Gave up a 2+2 that was purely inexperience in freestyle scrambling -- and then blast doubled the Russian off the mat as if he had just been Todranked.

Russian gassed, returns to center could be times with a sundial.

Will Snyder wrestle on this card today? I can’t really make out these announcers. One interesting pronunciation was the 3 time NC double ya A champion! Make me think I was back home during my childhood when Hulk Hogan was champ of the double ya, double ya F!

I thought Jason looked great. Opponent had SRB on the back of his shirt so I assume he is Serbian.

I was impressed by the sportsmanship in all of the bouts. Winners and losers were most gracious. Quite different than the Iowa - ISU meet.

Khetag Tsabolov is a former (2014) world champ at 74kg, and still places at events. Not taking anything away from Jason but he probably wasn't in top shape here. But then a lot of Russian guys aren't in great shape even for big events. Nolf looked good though, consistently finishing and fought off some nice shots.

Until this year he's wrestled for Russia. It's rarely made clear what qualifies a Russian wrestler to wrestle under another flag but I imagine it has more to do with money than standards.

Jason makes a lot of guys look out of shape.

This was a really good match for Jason in both ways -- he looked good in winning, and the match showed some things he can work on when he gets home.

My sources are telling me it's having a pulse.

Ahh…. Todrank mention. Love that guy. Forever a place in the lore of Penn State wrestling.

No opponent for KS??

What about the bum he was sitting next too at dinner?

 

[82bordeaux]

His potential opponents were all ill/injured. He went for the borscht.

I used to have those shoes! John Smith was my idol back then and I had everything John Smith. Shoes were actually pretty bad

Looks like kid on the bottom right needed to get an excuse permission slip from his kindergarten teacher in order to attend 😳

The Nolf match starts at the 2 hour mark. Well worth watching. Listening to the Russian commentary could be Comrade Byers on speed.

I cancelled for the second time. Watching a live stream is too aggravating with flo.

Something tells me no matter how far down the list Iowa was, the list was going to be cut off there. 😉

Well, you didn't expect the list to go as far down as Minnesota, right? Space limitations ...

Seems to confirm Massa is back. That is a Hell of a salty lineup with Nicky Pushups and Ragusin appearing to level up.

DT perfectly sums up the PSU recruiting pitch.

FRL seemed to indicate the other day that there might be an injury issue with both Storr and Brucki, anyone else hear anything?

they both got hurt during matches at cklv. storr’s looked bad and he couldn’t finish the match. brucki finished his match but lost (2-1 on the escape from injury time) and then defaulted out. definitely injured to some degree. the severity is unknown.
