Quote from Jared Ball's post:

"Caldwell medical default, that really takes away some pizzaz from the Saturday night show"



Agreed, J-Ball. But, along the selfish side of things, after losing LeBlanc moments ago, it certainly makes my Dake pick a bit more settling!!!

Glad to see Colt not stumble against Civan. Civan had wrestled well in his conference tourney and had pinned cody Yohn.

Several Ohio guys look sharp--Bedelyon, Honeycut, Taylor among others.

Heflin losing is not a shock. Amuchastegui is very good. Hef has a tough cons road--but isn't it always?

I have to give ESPN3 some credit, the show is really great. Although they show only 4 of the 8 mats, it's so much better than the old "text play-by-play calls" that drove me nuts (having to wait for the description of all the action). My only fault with the announcer is that the word escape does NOT have the letter "X" in it. I hear that mispronounced at meets way too often.

Three cheers to ESPN3! They could have gone the easy route only showing one mat at a time. I didn't have enough bandwidth for all four screens, but three out of four ain't bad!

Meatloaf, right!?

I absolutely loved the coverage on espn3.com. I agree that the announcing was a bit off. I remember one of the guys saying something that made think, "That's not true!?" I wish I could remember what it was. ... It was something obvious though.

Anywho, I'm looking forward to ESPN-U and espn3 today at 10:30am!

Go Buckeyes and go Ohio!!!

One tenth of a pound? According to what I've been told, Dan Gable used to routinely allow wrestlers leeway when weighing in. He just wanted the kids to wrestle.

Interesting to note that only 174 and 197 did the top 8 seeds make the quarterfinals.

Worst seeding was at 285 -- only 4 of top 8 seeds in quarters.

For those of you that didn't check the live chat thread...

Placement - Team - Points - (Championship, Consolation)
01. Penn State…30.5 (7, 1)
02. Cornell…29.0 (5, 4)
03. Iowa…25.0 (5, 4)
03. Oklahoma State…25.0 (4, 4)
05. American…23.5 (3, 2)

Penn State (Quarterfinal matches)

133: #3 A. Long (PSU) vs. #11 S. Sentes (CMU). Sentes beat Ramos (Iowa) 2-0
141: #6 A. Alton (PSU) vs. #3 B. Novachkov (Cal-P). I think it was this Novachkov that tech falled Collin Palmer in the finals of the Ironman like 6 years ago.
149: #2 F. Molinaro (PSU) vs. #7 M. Mason (Rutgers). Needed two overtimes to beat #10 Kinser (Indy)
157: #3 D. Taylor (PSU) vs. #6 D. St. John (Iowa). Rematch of the third deminsion. Taylor is currently undefeated against him.
174: #2 E. Ruth (PSU) vs. #7 N. Amuchastegui (Stanford). Amuchastegui got lucky in his last match. Period. ;-)
184: #9 Q. Wright (PSU) vs. #1 C. Honeycutt (EDIN). This is the second of the seven that PSU is not favored. But, it is Q. Wright! He has BIG MOVES!
285: #9 C. Wade (PSU) vs. Z. Rey (Lehigh). Rey needed overtime to beat his last opponent, so this match COULD be winnable.

Cornell

133: #8 M. Grey (Cornell) vs. #1 J. Oliver (OkSU). Oliver is pretty good. Two pins so far!? Impressive.
141: #4 K. Dake (Cornell) vs. #5 J. Parks (OkSU). Second Cornell/OkSU match and this one will be worth the price of admission!
174: #3 M. Lewnes (Cornell) vs. #6 B. Bennet (CMU). Both are coming off strong performences in the last round.
184: #3 S. Bosak (Cornell) vs. D. Bencomo (Duke). Bencomo upset the #6 seed in the last round. This will be a battle of the brawn AND brains!
197: #1 C. Simaz vs. #8 M. Powless (Indy). Powless won in OT last match. Smiaz seems to be moving forward in workman like fashion.

I think the advantage goes to Penn State, and does so in a big way. However, this advantage is only on paper. And as we know, matches aren’t wrestled on paper… They are wrestled on TV’s and, thanks to espn3.com, they are wrestled on computers!!!

ps: I wanted to do all top 5 teams, but I started late. I was really just killing time until 10:30am.

It links through your cable provider. Click on watch now and then it will walk you through the steps. Have your account info handy. You'll need to enter it when asked. It only takes about 5 minutes but is WELL WORTH IT!!!

I thought that was Triggas in the quarters or semis. Or are we talking about two different matches?

Could be talking two different matches. I'll look it up on flo...

The match I mentioneded was Collin's freshman year. So being overmatched wouldn't be unthought of at that stage in the tournament... being a freshman and all.
