Good job Bernie. Way to keep your head up

184 5th Place Match:
#6 seed Bernie Truax vs. #2 seed Isaiah Salazar (Minnesota) -- I'll use IS
Bernie hasn't had the most favorable matchups in this Session. Here's hoping his last college match is a good one.
Per 1
Not much thru 1st minute. Truax in on a low single and gets the TD, 3-0. He flattens IS, and throws in a boot. Truax with a nice ride. RT goes over 1 min. Stall warning on IS. End. RT @ 1:46 for Truax
Per 2
Truax takes bottom. He works to his feet, and is out in 12 sec, 4-0. Truax in on a single and gets behind for the TD, 7-0. Another good ride, and RT goes over 2 min. He came close to a tilt, and a stall call on IS makes it 8-0. Truax flattens IS once again. End. RT @ 2:48 for Truax
Per 3
IS takes neutral. After some time, RT is locked. Not much thru 1st minute. Truax with a low single, and gets behind for the TD, 11-0. And again he flattens IS as he has a boot in. He's trying to work an arm bar. Stoppage with 6 sec left for PD. End. With RT, it's a 12-0 MAJ for Bernie Truax!!!
Byers made some mention that Bernie had not ended his previous NCAAs with a win (I'd have to check). If that's the case, major kudos to him in his last college match.

It's true. Lost all three third/fourth place matches to finish four the first three times he AA'd.
I think all his prior AA’s were 4th place IIRC.
OSU is going to be solid for the next several years. Young guys are looking really good.
but PSU being so dominant is bad for the sport.
Someone's been reading the I0wa blogs - I'm telling Dad!
true. If Howard hadn't gotten injured, Noto would have looked nice in Blue & White
SHHHHH! Don't complain about ESPN+ - I got lectured for complaining about the regular (sucky) ESPN coverage. Was told to get ESPN+. LOL
Hell of a run by true freshmen who started the year 141
149 3rd Place Match:
#7 seed Tyler Kasak vs. #5 seed Ty Watters (West Virginia) -- I'll use TW
Per 1
Kasak in on a low single, they scramble a bit, and Kasak gets the TD, 3-0. OOB. TW works out pretty quickly, 3-1. 1 min left. Kasak reaches, nothing. End. RT @ 21 sec for Kasak
Per 2
TW takes bottom. TW works to his feet, and eventually works out, 3-2. RT @ 39 sec for Kasak. Kasak shoots, nothing. Collar ties, then not. TW shoots, nothing. End. RT @ 39 sec for Kasak
Per 3
Kasak takes neutral. TW shoots, Kasak with a counter and a stall warning on Kasak (smh). Kasak in on a leg, they scramble, a long scramble, and they go OOB. Almost had it. Blood stoppage for Kasak. 38 sec left. TW in on a leg, they scramble, nothing. Both guys active. End. Tyler Kasak takes 3rd Place, with a 3-2 DEC over Ty Watters.

Syracuse grads
Like their basketball team, they always screw up in the championship tournament.
Ultimate road warrior on top of it
