Fans in attendance for Sunday's match will receive a Rutgers wrestling camo hat, also while supplies last

No real surprises here:

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

I thought they might give Soldano a shot at 197 after Friday night. But I have a feeling that he might have a strategic "injury" and not wrestle again and apply for a Medical Redshirt.

Agreed

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Need bonus. Ill kid is 3-10 and given up bonus in 6 of his losses

 

[KidDagger]

Wow we finally got a call our way no td

 

[pish69]

Wow. Shocked they reversed that

 

[pish69]

UGH! Would have been huge to get that ride out

 

[SCNJ]

Shawver has to get better on bottom. It’s the one hole in his game that needs significant improvement. I know Byrd is legit but Shawver’s only real means of escape is granby rolls.

 

[KidDagger]

That last second escape in 2nd period costed Shawver

 

[pish69]

Damn. Good match. 133 going to be wild this year. If no Crookham, this weight wide open

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Tough one. Shawver really needs to improve on bottom.

 

[MS-RU]

Shawver is so weak on bottom. It’s cost him multiple times this year already. Giving up that escape with 1 second left was brutal as well.

 

[SCNJ]

Is pretty much every bout the rest of the way a toss up or close to it?

 

[KidDagger]

Is pretty much every bout the rest of the way a toss up or close to it?

Yes

 

[SCNJ]

One rule change I’d like to see is a stall call for going off the mat, no questions asked. Refs will call stalls for not being able to stay in the circle, but intentionally wrestling themselves from a dangerous position to being off the mat completely should have some sort of repercussion.

 

[pish69]

Is pretty much every bout the rest of the way a toss up or close to it?

No..149 and 165 heavy leans Illinois

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Great job Joey O!

 

[KidDagger]

No..149 and 165 heavy leans Illinois

Coulda been useful to have Barbosa this match

 

[pish69]

Good win Olivieri. Kid wrestling tough all year

 

[SCNJ]

Worth noting that in the event of a tie, we’re currently +9 in individual bout points.

 

[SCNJ]

No..149 and 165 heavy leans Illinois

I don’t think 149 is heavy lean. Favored yeah but not heavy. 165 I agree.

 

[KidDagger]

I don’t think 149 is heavy lean. Favored yeah but not heavy. 165 I agree.

Clark looking good

 

[SCNJ]

How did Clark get a 3rd stall for trying a toss?

 

[pish69]

Clark looking good

He’s defending good but all the action is Webster

 

[pish69]

How did Clark get a 3rd stall for trying a toss?

Because he’s getting pushed all over mat Can’t constantly back up

 

[SCNJ]

Because he’s getting pushed all over May. Can’t constantly back up

I agree he’s getting worked but he tried to toss Webster and they ended up out of bounds. By rule that’s action that took them out and shouldn’t be a stall

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Is Clark sick or something? He looked shot.

 

[KidDagger]

He’s defending good but all the action is Webster

I was impressed he was able to defend a lot of Websters attacks in the early periods but yeah as match wore on he was losing stamina.

 

[pish69]

I agree he’s getting worked but he tried to toss Webster and they ended up out of bounds. By rule that’s action that took them out and shouldn’t be a stall

I’ve seen them calling that all year when guys are constantly on edge and then they try a toss to keep themselves from stalling. The reality is you shouldn’t always be on the edge. I like the calls. Clark never took a step forward all match

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Is Clark sick or something? He looked shot.

He fought off 2 or 3 deep takedowns from Webster, that is not easy. Takes a lot out of you

 

[pish69]

Need this one Harer can beat this guy

 

[SCNJ]

We have this ref every home match every year and he gets more trash every time I see him

 

[KidDagger]

Harer nice on top.. those were backpt swipes tf… now I’m starting to see why lotta guys don’t pick bottom vs Harer

 

[SCNJ]

Fair enough

 

[pish69]

Did Kraisser take bottom?? If so, I just don’t understand why guys do that after being ridden like a mule the period prior
