NCAA Championships Day 1 Session 2

[George Porgie]

I’ve switched from beer to whisky. Pot is next, then maybe something stronger. … Seriously, at least we can be pretty sure Beard will devastate his opponent and Taylor should win if his head is together.

Please, don't do that. This is the NCAA wrestling tournament, everyone is ranked top 33, no 172nd ranked wrestlers in the field. In fairness, this isn't that far from what I thought would happen. Stanich can still AA with luck and a reality check, Crookham probably 2nd, Beard, my prediction is 3rd or 4th, and Taylor may AA. All of these guys they face are the top guys on their teams. I think they are for the most part young and not battle-tested in this environment. Our two top seeds are both Freshman. Beard looks good because he's already been an AA and knows what to expect. He was 8th and then didn't place last year. That's what we're talking about. Ya can't go to sleep out there, they will take you out. Having said that I hope you are right. I'm not going to stop watching. Does anyone remember when both Letters and Trenge had to wrestle back for third? And they were both predicted to win it all. That's what this is.

And I loved both responses.

Beard coming up Mat 5

[rick69]

At least Beard showing some fire in the belly.

[D3 for LU]

12-3 majorD for Michael... but he'll wrestle Elam instead of Cardenas tomorrow morning.
D3

[Spisula]

Beard with the major. I think he was in on legs 3 times in the first and once in the second, but Bockman got away.

Taylor wrestling tough against Doucet, looks likes hes got him. Mt. Schultz is in quarters... 3-1 snoozer over Slavikouski. Rematch will be interesting
