[RUpop]

Wow, Shawver loses 1-4. Couldn't finish some shots.

Yeah just didn’t look good. Couldn’t do anything.

 

[ScottRU93]

WTF? Why didn't Dylan chose down in the third? Unless the other guy was superior on top. Get your escape quick and tie the score, with a stall warning against the other guy?

Horrible decision but probably bc he sucks on bottom

 

[MS-RU]

Olivieri down 3-0 very quickly in the first as well

 

[JudgeSmails56]

This is gonna be a rough tournament.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Down 9-3

 

[LETSGORU91]

Oliveri goes from a tilt and getting backs to having the hold broken and gets reversed...holy hell!!!

 

[MS-RU]

WTF? Why didn't Dylan chose down in the third? Unless the other guy was superior on top. Get your escape quick and tie the score, with a stall warning against the other guy?

He has been miserable all year on bottom, so it's probably the right call but you need to be offensive and finish shots

 

[MS-RU]

Oliveri is getting completely overpowered.

 

[koleszar]

Wow this is going way worse than expected. That was a helluva two weeks of preparation time.

Oliveris gets destroyed 13-3.

 

[LETSGORU91]

Ouch..Oliveri goes down 12-3. Edit: forgot riding 13-3

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Olivieri majored

 

[MS-RU]

Well two straight upsets isn't a great start.

 

[ScottRU93]

Wow this is going way worse than expected. That was a helluva two weeks of preparation time.

Oliveris gets destroyed 13-3.

This program needs a complete reset. Just look horrible

 

[Lerxst72]

I'm off the Goodale bandwagon, for what that's worth.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

SCNJ, quick, tell us why this isn't bad.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Alvarez coming up soon.

 

[RUSpider]

SCNJ, quick, tell us why this isn't bad.

They are too busy watching their family member Coach.

 

[koleszar]

This program needs a complete reset. Just look horrible

I didn't think we'd do great overall, but I at least expected to win some in the 1st Rd. This is just really bad up to this point, hopefully the rest can turn this around.

And ESPN? What the fvck is so hard about displaying a time clock? I'm not even asking for riding time as somehow that would be way beyond your scope of capabilities. You only had a year to figure it out.

 

[SirScarlet]

a shame to be whimpering like this at the end of the season... I have been hard on Goodale the past 3-4 years but recognized genuine improvement in our wrestling earlier in the year

but the way we have closed out the season.... yikes....

 

[KidDagger]

SCNJ, quick, tell us why this isn't bad.

He’s going say Who cares? Team scoring at individual tournaments is stupid.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Sammy won.

 

[TheKnightclub]

Rider has 4 qualifiers right?

 

[LETSGORU91]

He has been miserable all year on bottom, so it's probably the right call but you need to be offensive and finish shots

Other than injury, there's no excuse for that. Retuning AA and the coaches/wrestler has no confidence in his ability to escape and at the least, tie the score with a stall warning in the back pocket. Awful.

 

[KidDagger]

Yeah just didn’t look good. Couldn’t do anything.

So frustrating.. he promised he’s going to win a National title before he’s done.. that’s when I knew it will never happen… let go of the damn outcome n expectations wrestle to have fun and score points… sigh

 

[mandfense]

Bartlett had a 1st round battle.

 

[LETSGORU91]

He has been miserable all year on bottom, so it's probably the right call but you need to be offensive and finish shots

I'll add that his neutral offense has been subpar compared to last year. So I guess he and the coaches shouldn't have chosen neutral either?

 

[koleszar]

This ISU vs UV match is like a marathon. Other mats are going to be up to 174 before this War and Peace match ends.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

What an absolutely awful start lol....ugh....SMDH.

 

[njsportsphan]

Chumbley beat the 13 seed at 157 (Harer went 1-1 with him)

 

[MS-RU]

Clark up next on mat 2

 

[Leonard23]

Sucks when it happens to us, but stop acting like there aren't other upsets all over the tourney right now. At 149, #29 Gioffre, UVA just took out #4 Johnson, ISU 5-2 in TB1.

 

[wngarbarini]

When is Clark up?

Who's saying anything about the others? We only care about our guys, and the poor performance of others is not comforting at all.

 

[Leonard23]

And at 157, #10 Miller, MD, got stuck by #23 Saldate, UM after being up much of the match.

 

[koleszar]

When is Clark up?

NOW

 

[Leonard23]

When is Clark up?

Now

 

[MS-RU]

...and Clark is down 3-0 already.

 

[TheKnightclub]

Miller pinned. Tough one.

 

[rpiseman]

Clark looks awfuk

 

[Leonard23]

ESPN streams are not great this year. Painful watching without a clock and the riding time.
