2023 NCAA Championships Session I Thread

[HawkMachine]

I think if he were healthier

Seems like we say this A LOT.

 

[drunkengoat]

Why do we get so many shoulder injuries?

 

[BIG10MANIAC]

I mean are we going to ignore Cobe's giant shoulder brace? I think if he were healthier, he was in on some decent shots in the 3rd and just couldn't pull him in

THIS...... Cobe has not been the same since the shoulder injury... Before the injury he was the best scrapper on the team. I am not giving up on him. He is clearly hurt...

 

[MitchLL]

Anyone happy with what we put on the mat at 133 and 157 this year is content with not contending.

Cobe, right now, isn't strong enough to wrestle 157. Depending on where Chittum decides to go, this might be the last we ever see of CS.

Even a healthy Cobe struggles to finish those shots.
I like watching his as much as the next because he's not afraid to try the impossible. But he needs to develop a regular offense to contend for the podium in March.
Otherwise this will continue.

Not bulky enough in the upper body like those Penn State wrestlers.................

 

[masterhawk74]

I love Cobe's aggressive style but he's got to clean it up and wrestle smarter.

 

[CouchCritic]

Realistically, how many transfers can we expect for next year?

 

[js8793]

Some disastrous officiating so far. Embarrassing.

seeing a lot of guys get caught spectating and out of position. guy was just wayyyy late on neutral danger in pappas-gfeller

 

[Muscles1989]

Idk how you could tell a 133, 174, 184, 197 no we aren’t interested. Good thing is chittum coming in to 57

 

[Spicolli]

Idk how you could tell a 133, 174, 184, 197 no we aren’t interested. Good thing is chittum coming in to 57

and 149

 

[Muscles1989]

Kennedy on 5

 

[Muscles1989]

and 149

Oh dam you’re right. I mean 149 hasn’t produced for few years now

 

[Muscles1989]

Facundo down late 5-2

 

[js8793]

bubba wilson on a heater and down goes facundo.

 

[Sett1997]

Facundo down late 5-2

Loses 5-3

 

[Hicksy87]

PSUs Facundo loses to #20 from Pitt.

 

[js8793]

PK looks sharp early

 

[Muscles1989]

The amount of proven hammers in the 165 bracket is insane.

 

[js8793]

now we're wrestling his match. stop rolling around that's how you got beat last year

there we go!

 

[cheaptilt42]

I have a very uneasy feeling that SVN will end up in the semis

F the negativity dude!

 

[js8793]

ref missed a side headlock count on PK there. somebody get these guys some coffee so they wake up

 

[hawx]

Dear god can the ESPNU feed show any actual wresting?! 90% commercials, talking heads or scoreboard

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

PSUs Facundo loses to #20 from Pitt.

That's not the kind of f*n PSU fans are looking for.....

 

[MSU158]

Siebrecht is plenty strong enough for the weight fellas. Before the shoulder injury he wasn’t losing a single position to anyone solely due to strength or lack there of.

Simply put, shoulder injuries are particularly debilitating to wrestlers. This is even more true to someone with a wide open style like COBE’s. His best positions almost all depend on leverage and the should seriously limits that for him…

Now Teske on the other hand…he is a pure scrapper that ran into another pure scrapper that just so happens to be as strong and physical as DeSanto was. NOT a good matchup whatsoever.

 

[Muscles1989]

What are you watching on, I haven’t had a stoppage in wrestling since 11

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Do the matcast if you can.

 

[Muscles1989]

Yippee Amine winning a barn burner 3-0

 

[LaxHawk174]

Kennedy takes care of business, sets up the rematch with Amine tonight.

 

[js8793]

Can we get a wellness check on @NothingMeaningful ? Ramirez not looking that impressive after all.....

 

[LutherAce]

ramirez losing, gets Facundo in consis...could knock a PSU out tonight

 

[sstark46]

Facundo will get Ramirez tonight, could very well go BBQ

 

[js8793]

Yippee Amine winning a barn burner 3-0

That's a smart match from him. Cook is the high flyer king

 

[Muscles1989]

That's a smart match from him. Cook is the high flyer king

He’s just a boring wrestler tha wins from doing so little. Hope Kennedy takes care of him tonight

 

[MonteHawkeyeSS]

Shane Griffith must have a hard cut. He didn’t look like he was too enthused to be out there either.

 

[Sandor45]

Shoulder brace wasn’t there for cobe in big tens. We are consistently the least healthy team in March. Doesn’t matter how good our recruits are or how well we coach them up if they’re hurt. SMH

He hasn't looked right all year

Shoulder brace has been on Cobe since late January

 

[bdcolt45er]

The amount of proven hammers in the 165 bracket is insane.

I think if it goes to seed. Kennedy will face a 2 time finalist in the blood round.

 

[MitchLL]

Maybe it's just me, but with the Okie State struggles and Fix graduating... I think Smith resigns after Nattys.
