Hopefully the first 3 weights do maximum damage if multiple starters are going to be out. Is Beard going at 97? Interesting matchup if so.

Appears so, according to all-knowing Mineo!

 

[Bertrand]

RBY perhaps out as well which would keep 4 starters out in total. Duals becoming increasingly diminished by injuries and load management. In years past this would rarely happen. Did Nickal or Taylor ever miss a match? Not a good look for a televised event.

Dean was limping in the 3rd period Friday night. Walked off the mat limping as well. If Beards wrestling today he’s definitely going to have his hands full. Should be interesting.

This is gonna be damn tight with all these starters out. If we lose to NEB do we share the Big10 title w/Iowa? Just heard that is the case, that we’d share if we lose today.

RBY really wanted the TF, and worked hard to get it.

I'm sure we take for granted the energy needed to take down a DI wrestler, even though guys like RBY make it appear so easy. Great effort.

11-0, PSU

 

[ptomaselli]

Beau needs this to be the meet where he finds his offense.

 

[ptomaselli]

Lovett must be very strong...he horsed Beau out of almost a sure TD...

 

[SonnyAbeFan]

Lovett just has more confidence and no fear.

 

[TangSoo]

No way there are 7 49 lbers better than Lovett.

11-3, PSU

Lovett wrestles like a Nittany Lion. He shouldn’t have wasted his talent at Nebraska

 

[SonnyAbeFan]

I'm scared to see the comments about Beau arriving soon. As Cael would say, that's a measuring stick for Beau. He's wrestled the best. He knows what he has to do.

 

[SonnyAbeFan]

I'm curious why it can be so quiet at Rec Hall when there's limited action, but it rarely seems quiet at CHA? I understand it. When there's no action, there's nothing to cheer. Cael commented on it before the Iowa match.

I'll oblige - that was another extremely underwhelming outing by Bartlett. He actually lacks basic fundamentals.

I don't feel much like talking or yelling with a mask strapped to my face. I think that has something to do with it.

 

[DavidM]

Bartlett's been dominated recently, although involving tough matchups. Is a one weight-class moveup that telling? Dunno.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[SRATH]

Claw gaining confidence, just needs to go for it.

 

[SonnyAbeFan]

I don't feel much like talking or yelling with a mask strapped to my face. I think that has something to do with it.

I hear you, but it's not exclusive to this season.
