So eerily similar to steiber vs JO. I would not have overturned that call great match nonetheless

I'm sure you have your reasons, but I just can't, lol. H2P
It was less PSU and more RBY and Lee. Such likable wrestlers compared to Fix and Eierman
Shoot. I can't say I am speaking from a position of authority here but, it looked like our guy Jake was a bit too patient in the first two periods when he drove him out of the circle a few times.
I don't understand the challenge.
I didn't follow closely enough but, was the knee injury during this tournament? Or during the season?

if you’re going to do that you have to pick top
Stanford program along with many of Stanford’s Olympic sports are being discontinued. Sad in my opinion.
I blame it on the singlet-needed to wear the royal blue. Seriously though, great season by Jake.
I honestly have no explanation for how he wrestled that match from a strategy standpoint other than nerves. He wrestled that way during the first match and survived. He was also able to scramble against the OU guy and score. This guy did a nice job of avoiding that with his length
Also disagree with the grey singlets on this stage. Lets see those colors, dang it!
That is where my comment was targeted. Could it be that the knee prevented him from making a twist/spin attempt?
Griffiths did a good job keeping Jake from turning the corner. But I do wish he would sprawl on occasion. Its far easier to get two on you from your back side now than it used to be so please fight off a shot once in a while
I don’t think he got hurt until the end of the match but I could be wrong
No. He didnt hurt the knee until the end of the match. It happened in the scramble after his desperation granby roll
Their 165 wrestler was NC in 2019. Took last year off to train and came back this season sure he would repeat. In the duel meet Jake Was controlling him when VT wrestler hurt shoulder and had to default. Im sure they think That their kid would have beat Jake but for the injury. Jake, however, was controlling the kid very well when injured. VT wrestler I believe had to defaultout of this championship as well.
I’m of the opinion that a school’s primary uniform and colors should be on display in any big time sporting event, need to have a grasp of brand recognition... no alternates!
That's pretty petty. Especially in a sport like wrestling where an injury is always so close to happening.
Exactly. Wasnt like the injury was intentional. VT fans just being poor sports
I hate the State Pen Nitters just as much as the next guy but, damn, they really have been a machine. That takedown of the Iowa kid in OT was impressive.
Not sure how closely you follow but They have the best staff and the best RTC therefore the best training partners.
Reasonably close. I have a lot of friends who wrestled, coach wrestling, have kids who wrestled and have been successful on the mats. I know they pay for what they get from their coaches and it all trickles down from there. They are a machine right now. Nonetheless, I hate them.
I honestly rooted for Brooks there. Hidlay is a complete idiot and so are their coaches
