A shoutout to @GregPickel for all the PBP and info he provided during the B1G Tournament. I missed most of the tournament, but Greg did an excellent job with the PBP!
A salute to @gimb14 for his posts throughout the B1G Tournament.
My thanks to everyone that posted in the B1G Session Threads, and contributed to the conversation.
In less than two weeks, we'll be setting up NCAA Session Threads, and discussing NCAAs. I should be free for almost all of NCAAs, and will provide PBP in everything but the finals, which by tradition, I sit back and watch, and contribute to the Session discussion, but don't do PBP.
Great job, everyone, over the past two days!

I blame Greg and Tom for their losses. We were rolling until Greg gave up play by play to Tom. I tried to warn you guys but nooooo.
Can't wait for NCAAs. I'm off this year. Coworkers think it's for basketball, but recent years I've found myself barely paying attention to that until Sunday.
lol. I did see that post. After all the PBP that Greg contributed in the tournament, I was happy to give him a break. Would the results in the Finals have been different if Greg had continued with PBP? We'll never know.
I played a lot of baseball in my youth also so I’m a little superstitious. If I was on a hitting streak, the uniform didn’t get washed and I wore the same socks until the streak ended. Probably doesn’t apply here, but I tried.lol. I did see that post. After all the PBP that Greg contributed in the tournament, I was happy to give him a break.

FWIW, a reminder that Tyler Kasak is following the same blue print as Levi as far as preparation for PSU. He skipped Sr season at Bethlehem Catholic and moved to State College to train with M2 and the NLWC, while entering open tournaments. It worked well for Levi, hopefully, it does for Tyler as well.
Lee winning oW for tournament over brooks is a joke.
Brooks out pointed him and beat Romero like a dog

Likely everyone Dean wrestles is taller and heavier than he is because, as Jim Gibbons commented, Dean is a 184-wrestling-up at 197 because of the guy PSU has wrestling at 184.
One of Dean's strengths is high intelligence. Not absolutely certain, but I believe this is the first time he's wrestled Allred. If that's true he'll learn from today's experience and, if they should meet again in a couple weeks, it wouldn't be a complete surprise if there were to be a different outcome.
Hey @Tom McAndrew looking forward to the Nationals! Thanks to you and @GregPickel for the coverage and keeping everyone focused.
That was pretty much predetermined….like a coronation for his whole career, the talking heads had decided it was him he just had to win

Hour and 36 in. Awesome call.
Agree. Love to see Kerk work on his angles preparing for Nationals. Couple other guys as well. Kerk can beat Parris if he goes outside singles with hard finish. More urgency needed to score that first takedown.
