It’s amazing that the Big 10 Network scoreboard graphic doesn’t include riding time

Might be an open competition at 174 as Grello has been maddeningly inconsistent for a senior.
Grello gets head-butted in the first and has to injury default. The trainer looked at him and stopped the match. I hope he is ok, but we may see Turley in the Tri matches.
They haven’t started the next match and the scoreboard still shows the time. Refs chatting with Goodale. Maybe he’s getting evaluated backstage for a concussion? I don’t think this match is officially over yet.
What RUCrackers said and the way he said it aside, what I find most disturbing in the forum is the way some react to those that don't follow the party line. Name-calling and profanity do not make for the most intelligent of counter-arguments. I don't think criticism should be personal or insulting to any wrestler but should be open for civil discussion based on fact and data. Opinions, on the other hand, are just that and everyone has one; they shouldn't have to be the same in order to avoid attack.
RUCrackers could have delivered his message more tactfully but his appraisal of Colucci isn't far off. Boone may offer greater potential but from what I saw from him wrestling freestyle some weeks back, he was out of sheep. Hopefully he's been working on that.
Kyonte was a great 220 guy but gassed after putting on weight and wrestling heavyweight. He'll have to increase strength along with weight and I hope football gets him in good shape. I think he'll be better than a 50/50 guy and much better if he transitions to heavyweight properly.
Oh stop. Did you not read the forum the last two matches? No one is overrating Collucci or pretending he’s a stud. We’ve all pretty much acknowledged that he’s a low action guy who will beat most guys he’s supposed to and lose to guys he’s supposed to. I think where most of us draw the line is somewhere in between “McDermott might be the better option” and “Collucci collects dust particles off the mat with his face”
This delay shows how important exhibition matches are....
I noticed that skillings has a match against Turley as well.

Grello’s injury default made official. Guess he has a concussion and we will see Turley in the starting lineup now
Well that was quick and awful luck. O'neill got to the high crotch but couldn't finish, ended up in a terrible position, and got pinned...ugh

Agreed.
My biggest takeaway was that he was extremely aggressive as he basically shot immediately after the whistle. I'm always happy to see that as oppossed to the Grello match where basically neither guy attempted anything in the 2 minutes before the injury default.
I guess they'll now cancel Turley's exhibition match if that is in fact the case. Don't think we really want him wrestling 3 matches in a 4 hr. period this early in the season.
