Midlands IV

I saw it as I took a break from "family time" and went downstairs. Thought he wrestled well and the ref was a little "light" on the SW on the OSU guy.
 
Gilman wrestled really well today. Both kids he wrestled today were pretty tough little fella's. Gilman even kept his cool when things got a bit "handsy" in the Finals. Good job Thomas! Well deserved Midlands Title.
 
I think Lynco1990s meltdown distracted everyone in the Grothus thread. Worth it.
 
I think since Long only used 2 years of eligibility at the NCAA level (1 at ISU and 1 at PSU) that he had 2 years left at the NAIA level, so that would seem right.
 
I wondered what the heck happened. I spent my morning snowboarding with Jr., then all afternoon at the DMV. Any other updates? Anyone?
 
he was born in 1989 so that would make him 26 this year

remember, he was initially in the same class as McDonough
 
Sorensen vs Tshirt
Head slaps frm Tshirt

Tshirt might be my least favorite wrestler ever. If all wrestling was his style, I'd find a new sport.

That a boy Brandon! Whoo!

Tsirtsis is one tough mother to score on, and Brandon finally took a chance and got in deep, then some hard work to finish it off. Beautiful.

Sorensen in deep on a leg in 5 seconds
Tshrit fighintg
Now has two legs, still not TD
fighting
"Twwoooo" is heard from the crowd but not the ref.
still fighting
40 seconds
turning and more turning
how is this not a TD?
there it is with about 24 seconds left.
That took a long time.
Sorensen is your Midlands Champion!
 
I'm done for the night. The cards are calling.

Last thought.
Absolutely great interview from Brandon. Let me summarize "I tried, I didn't get it. I kept trying. Then I got it"

Gold, Jerry, Gold.
 
Northwestern fans were counting on T-shirt. BS showed em who is boss tonight! Nice win Brandon!
 
What had Brands (I think that was Terry) all fired up after the 149 match? Did anyone catch that?
 
OKay, one last thought. Trying to the get the girls to watch wrestling is an uphill battle. Tonight, I tried to get the girls to watch wrestling with me but they wanted to watch "Blackish". I even tried the "Sorensen is from Denver and we know Denver people" angle and it didn't work.

FWIW- The last time we watched wrestling, the girls were all for it until they realized that the Linn-Mar wrestler was going up against the guy with one leg. You see, we had ESPN on they had been watching all the promos and they all wanted Robles to win.

I blame ESPN.
