[Jinpa88]

Being a Hunterdon/Warren guy, hope Lightner has a good year.

[R U Crazy]

Lightner needs new Head gear

No sweater-vest today for Goodale?

Christian Colucci wrestling Tim Nagosky to close out dual meet number one of the day

 

[R U Crazy]

Not a good start for 197, Is lightner hurt? he appeared slow all match.
Looked much better in the off season during freestyle...

 

[Lex Knapp]

Colucci with a quick takedown on the edge

 

[R U Crazy]

I completely agree. I do not believe he is hurt

 

[brentx35]

Lightner looks awful...not aggressive and lethargic. Not sure what his deal is.

He’s so out of shape. Looks terrible. Maybe he’s not feeling well

 

[Lex Knapp]

How much does Collucci weigh?

Colucci weighed in at 247.0 today

[bigmatt718]

Colucci looked very good in his first match with that fall.

NEED MORE COWBELL

 

[scarletNJ49]

Good stuff, thanks lex

 

[Lex Knapp]

I know this is a rhetorical question, but how great is it to have wrestling back?

 

[Lex Knapp]

Good stuff, thanks lex

My pleasure!

 

[bigmatt718]

I know this is a rhetorical question, but how great is it to have wrestling back?

With football as rough as it's been, having wrestling back is awesome.

Robinson with a turn for four back points, making his lead 8-1

 

[LetsGoRUwrestling]

Listening to Lou Brogno call a Rutgers match is just brutal. He has no clue what he's talking about. I think he does a very good job with football calls and is a very good announcer but he just doesn't know enough about wrestling to be doing B1G Wrestling broadcasts. He must have said 5x Rutgers will be taking on the returning D2 Champions Pitt-Johnstown. They finished 6th last year. Bring back Sean Dedeyn to do the broadcasts!
