[Abro1975]

Iowa's Spencer Lee just beat NW Sebastian Rivera 7-4. After the first period, Rivera gave Lee lots of problems. Styles make bouts , no doubt.

What time

 

[Abro1975]

What time

2pm

 

[IsItLuck]

Suriano out with Flu-like symptoms ...

 

[KidDagger]

hopefully stream starts on time

 

[R U Crazy]

I know Mackall is transferring but is he still on team?

 

[koleszar]

What time

Supposed to start at 2pm. But we'll see how Illinios does with the feed. Hopefully it's not the high school operation Northwestern just put on.

 

[Abro1975]

The student commentators are pretty good so far.

 

[Clearscreen25]

SIdeline reporter just called IMart "Isaih Thomas", but it looks like they will be better than Northwestern

 

[koleszar]

Forfeit ? What the fvck.

 

[wngarbarini]

No he is not

 

[KidDagger]

wtf forfeit at 125?

 

[IsItLuck]

Suriano out with Flu-like symptoms ...

Forfeit ? What the fvck.

wtf forfeit at 125?

Man, if only you guys could read the same thread you posted in.

 

[KidDagger]

Man, if only you guys could read the same thread you posted in.

i saw that but we have no other 125 pounder? damn forfeit... tho really

 

[wngarbarini]

Illness.

 

[IsItLuck]

i saw that but we have no other 125 pounder? damn forfeit... tho really

If this were home perhaps we would have a backup. You can't expect to travel cross-country with a 2-deep lineup

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

wtf forfeit at 125?

Nick got sick on the trip, and you do not bring backups(I think you can only travel 4 backups)

 

[wngarbarini]

You can only bring 13 kids to away matches so a backup 125 pounder was not anticipated

 

[Abro1975]

133 Del V wins 3-1

 

[koleszar]

Man, if only you guys could read the same thread you posted in.

Watching match and posting doesn't leave a lot of time to read through an entire thread to find your one post. When they're both on the same computer.

 

[Abro1975]

No Suriano, Lewis or Gravina today.

 

[koleszar]

I missed what the announcers said about Lewis is he sick too?

 

[brentx35]

No Suriano, Lewis or Gravina today.

I understand why there’s no Suriano and Gravina. Why no Lewis?

 

[RickB113]

Dual meets are becoming a joke. Really bad for the sport.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

No Suriano, Lewis or Gravina today.

Yikes.

 

[R U Crazy]

Announcers

For "The Rutgers"

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I understand why there’s no Suriano and Gravina. Why no Lewis?

Well let's see there's already 1 guy showing "flu-like symptoms" so don't be surprised??

 

[R U Crazy]

Tough match to watch without 125, 165 and 184...on the road

 

[Abro1975]

Student announcers making some mistakes but at least they are trying. NW had nobody and also missed 2 matches.

 

[koleszar]

No Suriano, Lewis or Gravina today.

OK well this one's over before it started. Let's see what our individual 4 remaining starters can do. Because 141 isn't going well.

Edit: Make that 3. Are any of our starters wrestling from here on out? If not this sucks.

 

[R U Crazy]

9-4 carr over MVB

9-3 Ill

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

"grapknight1 said: ↑
Correct. Real injuries, mental injuries and missing wt."

Above is what grapknight posted earlier today on another thread--Here is who and what he was talking about.-Real injuries-Gravina, Mental injuries-Lewis, missing weight-Deluca. Suriano developed Flu like symptoms

 

[R U Crazy]

Santos for the RUTGERS..NO ED

 

[80RU]

Could someone update the match and bout scores?

 

[Abro1975]

Van Brill loses 10-4. Illinois up 9-3.
DeLuca not wrestling either, Santos in his place

 

[R U Crazy]

Announcers..."Getting the crowd on their side?"

Attendance? 100 people?

 

[R U Crazy]

DeLuca has missed weight twice now.
Hopefully he carries his weight better for B10 Tourney

 

[Abro1975]

149 | Santos trails Barone, 2-1, after period one. Santos on top for period two.

 

[Harleyr1]

What the heck is goin on ..DeLuca misses weight again ? ..Richie ? What’s he doin ...dodging Imar I assume
