Byers having the coronary. "How do you do SHAYNE VAN NESSSS!!"
Were those Cowboy mat cleaners? Some real hustle cleaning up that blood, spotted Swiderski a good minute combined.
I am in my house, by myself. My kids are out and I am screaming at my screen.
Thank god my defibrillator is charged...used it twice already.
So are we. Hoping Duke ends these nail biters.
Omg, you guys are giving me second hand heart attack with the comments! It’s great since I’m stuck working and can’t actually watch
SVN!!!!! Without the stoppages SVN wins that in regulation. Swiderski wanted to no parts of that pace.
He may have something in his comp related to it
Not to count chickens, but SVN's semi-final match is imminently winnable and #2 Joy (who many thought was Van Ness' only competition here) just lost. Very nice. Just win and advance PSU, win and advance.
That was some of the best going at it I've ever seen. Wow!
I’m going to have to double up on my blood pressure meds from these quarter finals
These 157 quarters are ******* fire!! So good. I hate rooting for OkSt but I want Robideau to beat Larkin. Duke can smash Robideau I think. Probably Larkin too but he’s so long and funky it might give Pj some problems
To folks complaining about the stalemate call in SV-1 (in SVN's match): those can be tough. As a ref, you try to give the wrestlers every opportunity to score points. But you're also aware in SV that situations where nobody can improve are just wasting precious time. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't, situation on making the call. FWIW, I thought the stalemate should have been called. But just as it was called SVN did clear his foot, and would have gotten the TD -- something you HATE to see as a ref, but you can't take back the call.
I just took my blood pressure meds with Jameson.
This wrestling action today is not for the feint of heart, holy smokes
I have a feelling that a few of these next matches won't be nearly as nerve wracking.

Thats why I came to camp alone. I can yell all I want and nobody will hear me.
Luv ya, but now is NOT the time to be rationale
Got through the part of the lineup where Ok State might have a bit of an advantage overall only losing a point to them (difference between Jax’s 1.5 bonus points and Davis’ 1/2 point
Can’t wait until somebody who knows how to do it does the Byers audio-video synch!!!
PJ is going to take it to Cannon.
