Waiting for the BB game to end......and hoping it doesn't go to OT. 

I don't know why, but I have always like Chance. Even when he was on top of the world, he seemed so humble. After his college career started terribly and then his life looked a lot worse than his career, he put it all back together. He won't win a title, but has a chance for two straight top 4 finishes.
Would it have all worked out better had he gone to Penn State like God intended?

Hopefully DeSanto can get back on track and keep a cool head.  The Fix vs. DeSanto match should be a thriller.  As it relates to Pic vs Lee, same thing – huge opportunity for both wrestlers. 
After watching this interesting interview, I’m pulling for these two to bring it to the next level. 
Question is, can they? Will they? I say they do.
Here's the interview
 
 

Not to rain on anybody's parade, but I think Nolf would've beaten Dake at 157.  Nolf is a lot squirrellier than David Taylor was (Taylor was a fine scrambler..but Nolf is a freak), and I think that gives Nolf a leg up on Taylor (vs Dake).

No, he not overrated. He's as good as it gets with a tank to match, plus he's humble while as dominating as it gets. 

Nolf is not overrated.  

You mean Michigan?

I actually enjoy watching Desanto quite a bit. I'm not one of the guys who tries to bring him down. But he tried to injure Cornell's Tucker at the EIWAs by cranking on the lower leg against the joint, similar to the kimura situation (he was clearly going to lose). I don't think anything else he has done is really that big a deal but the two times he was trying to injure his opponent were bush league, to put it as mildly as possible. 
 

For sure but mymar and  nato had close matches at NCAAs. Lee killed everyone. 
I think it is fair to say Lee is way more likely to be a 4 timer than those guys

My buddy texted me during the dual that Bono is a "walking adderal". The guy brings passion and teams that he coaches always compete hard. He does a bang up job.

If you are a fan, duals matter. Giving the home crowd something to cheer about. When your school hosts and Iowa, Penn State, OSU and the like and somehow does well or steps it up big and wins - it matters. To the fans, it matters.
It is all about the NCAA Tournament only to those with a legitimate shot at placing near the top. Most of the fans will never, ever attend a National Championship session. They will attend a dual or maybe even a tournament. Duals matter.

Duals may not matter, all depends on your perspective.  Either way that was an entertaining dual to watch!

Got commitments from Jesse Ybarra, Colby Schriever and Cullan Schriever today.
 
 

I’m guessing not many other posters would recognize it’s a twist of MGK’s diss track directed towards Eminem....

Is it just me or does DeSanto both wrestle, and act, like he is still in HS?

That cartwheel flip to a keylock hold...wow

What Spencer Lee just did-- there oughta be a law!

Are you kidding me?!!!
 
Wowoww Lee is delivering. Yes pins Picc. But check it out -
 
First period: takedown and near-fall and escape 6-1 and 1:02 riding time
 
Period two: Lee chooses bottom and escapes. Takedown and two near fall. 11-1. Turns and pins.

You’re interested in wrestling or you’re not. It doesn’t matter what else is going on around the championships. Rules can only be followed by knowledgeable fans. This is the way it is and the way it will always be. Stop fighting against it as you are distracting from useful leadership and stewardship of our sport.

Something is up with mark halls melon. It looks weird and his body looks weird as a result. Big head short legs.

I started a gourp over on wrestlestat called "themat.com boarders".  it's a tourney pick 'em for the B1G tournament.  let's see what kind of team everyone can put together.  No prizes, just bragging rights on the board.

125 looks pretty solid to me:
 
NaTo:  former champ'
Cruz:  returning champ
Lizak:  finalist
Moisey:  finalist
Suriano:  beat both of last year's finalists
Piccininni:  returning 4th
Mueller:  returning 6th
Russell:  returning 7th
Milhoff:  former 7th
 
Bresser:  R12 (2016)
McGhee:  R12 (2016)
Fausz:  R12 (2017)
Hudkins:  R12 (2017)
among others...

Don't poke the bear, PD3...

My God Gilman.

Yes, thank you for your stunning wrestling insight that doesn't address, at all, the point that freshmen improve.
