******Midlands Session 1*****

[The Vak]

When he got reversed and stuck he was down 2-0 and the opponent did not have riding time. But, if you want to consider that a thrashing, go right ahead. I do not.

He got outwrestled in every position, scored zero points, and got pinned. Thank you for your permission.

 

[jmadden1998]

Sorensens Mat cam keeps freezing. He's up 20-7 in the third. Glosser is down 4-2 to O'Connor after 1

[The Vak]

26 points for Sorensen. Has to be a personal record, right? Great to see from him.

 

[LBlindHawk]

Glosser mat 8

 

[jmadden1998]

O'Connor defers and Glosser takes bottom. Out quickly, rt not a factor. 4-3 O'Connor with 1:09 left in the first.

 

[The Vak]

Anyone see how Barone got 2 points against Tsirtsis?

 

[SDHN2013]

Seemed like a solid beatdown to me while I was watching.

 

[butchinmi]

Tsirtis down 2-0 to Barone from Illinois going into 3rd. Tsirtis has RT and starting on bottom.

 

[jmadden1998]

Kemerer on deck mat 9. Glosser still trailing 4-3 headed to the 3rd

 

[jmadden1998]

Glosser lets him up, shoots and O'Connor steps out for a stall warning. 5-3.

 

[SCHawkFan]

I have to admit, I like the DeLuca kid that wrestles 149 for Rutgers. Didn't he almost attend Iowa State about four years ago?

 

[funnyfletcher]

Lugo Maruca up soon

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

Costello is going to look real good at Coe or Wartburg.

Concur. I know Tanner Hall is an AA but Costello did nothing...poor kid.

 

[jmadden1998]

O'Connor get a td and Glosser escapes. Glosser loses 7-4

[doctor1]

He got taken down and ridden out for a huge chunk of the first period, then reversed and pinned in the second. It was a pretty thorough thrashing.

Did you watch the match?
It was not a thrashing. Murin hit a great double where his opponent made a desperation counter and it worked.
Agreed he was being ridden hard
He had the tilt but as he was rolling through the arm slipped and he got caught in a bad spot.
In my opinion, a thrashing is a tech fall when the other guy takes you down a bunch of times with back points. This was far from that. This will be a great learning experience for him. If they wrestle again I put $25 that he wins the match.

Wrong

Lugo up on 7.

 

[BoroBuilt]

Wrong

No, I'm just making things up as I go along.

 

[Bulldog/Hawkeye]

Concur. I know Tanner Hall is an AA but Costello did nothing...poor kid.

If he ever goes D3 I'd bet it would be Loras. His dad wrestled there and is a big booster, that said I remember the criticism of Stoll at his first midlands

 

[doctor1]

No, I'm just making things up as I go along.

Thanks for the confirmation as it sounded like it.

 

[pumpdog20]

Happel wrestling Jacob Lizak. Any relation?

Yes, Happel is the older brother to Cael.

 

[butchinmi]

Lugo vs Maruca - ASU
1:24 left. No shots yet
Maruca in on single i think (spotty coverage) No points
1:04 left 0-0
Lugo with a snap down tried the cow catcher - no go
Maruca half shot - Lugo front head and arm. End of 1 0-0

 

[Exo]

Guy before glosser is named Yahya Thomas. Yahya is a sweet name

One of my favorite European Futbol players name is Yaya Toure, that lad would have been a great wrestler.

 

[butchinmi]

2nd Period - Lugo
Maruca starts down
Escapes quickly 0-1
Lugo in on a single near the edge of the mat - stalemate
Lugo in on single again near edge, scramble, nothing :06 left
End of 2nd 0-1

 

[The Vak]

Tsirtsis with a classic "Tsirtsis" match.

 

[jmadden1998]

Kemerer up on mat 9. Tsirtsis finally wins 5-4 in 3 OT

 

[MSU158]

Tsirtsis just beat Barone of ILL in Tsirtsis like fashion 4-4 in TB2 on about an extra 12 secs or so of riding time

 

[butchinmi]

3rd Period - Lugo
Lugo Down - big mat return for Maruca
OOB with 1:04 left, RT at :45 seconds for Maruca

Kemdawg vs Donner of RU
TD 2 within 10 seconds
Escape 2-1
Kem head inside single TD - 4-1
Kem with the PIN

 

[The Vak]

Lugo really should be better from bottom. Yeesh.

 

[butchinmi]

Lugo with Escape with :38 seconds left 1-1 but Maruca has RT
Bad shot single, gets buried and TD

Loses 4-1.

 

[ih8iast8]

Can there be a more boring wrestler than Tsirtsis?

 

[jmadden1998]

We have a BULL sighting. He's in the hole on mat 9

 

[ih8iast8]

We have a BULL sighting. He's in the hole on mat 9

I have been waiting for 5 hours....

 

[MSU158]

Lugo really should be better from bottom. Yeesh.

Redshirt conditioning has a lot to do with that I think.

 

[BoroBuilt]

Lugo really should be better from bottom. Yeesh.

That issue has limited his ability to beat really good d1 guys throughout his career. He wont be a high placer in 2019 and 2020 unless Iowa can coach him up from bottom.

 

[pennsylvaniahawkeye]

Best guess:

125 - Lee
133 - Glynn
141 - Murin
149 - Lugo
157 - (na)
165 - Young
174 - (na)
184 - (na)
197 - Warner
285 - Costello

7-man team, but I'm assuming that Turk/Happel also count at 141, and Glosser also counts at 149. So really it's a 9-man team...

I thought Glynn/Young etc. didn't count as they are attached... otherwise this team would probably score more than 10 points

 

[funnyfletcher]

Sorensen gets DeLuca next round, Kemerer gets Danishek.

In conso Stickley vs Krammer, Laux vs Gonser, Murin vs Freeman, Turk vs Crooks, Lugo vs Wright, Glosser vs Meisinger
