******Midlands Session 3*****

To be fair, Lee did not get a lot of offense off. He controlled a 2 on 1, but had very few legit attempts at the legs.

Hard to do when the other guy backs up constantly. Like I said, got to figure it out, cause others are going to try it. You get what you earn.

For anyone interested, Little Manville has Silva in overtime.

Manville 3-2 UTB

Huge win for Manville. Is he only a freshman?

Yup

Can Wilke make 184 next year?

Warner might have to make 184.

 

[lookleft goright]

I like Ho-Lee-Hell

That is a good one !

 

[pennsylvaniahawkeye]

How do you figure? Warner gave up and laid flat on his back. Easy call.

“I’m going to lose anyway, why not give Iowa some bonus points while I’m at it?”

And what exactly would have been your argument in the seeding meeting to change the seeds? Ignore that Valencia pinned Marinelli in this exact tournament last season, because I think he isn't as good as his brother?

Bull and Lewis are both ranked higher than Valencia by intermat. Fewer losses, too. I don’t have to be an asshat to come up with legit reasons.

Previous Midlands results do have a great bearing on seeding at that tournament. They just do. Doesn't matter, if you want to win it, you beat everybody in your path.

Sucks in college on the backside you sometimes have to wrestle very quickly. I have seen where my kid wrestled again while still sweating from last match.

LOL. I remember my first boys trip to Super Pee Wee. We were new to wrestling and he was wrestling match after match. He wrestled back for third, man it was so exciting.

It was more exciting/hectic than the next two years which he won both easily. Oh what a fun tourney.

Regarding Lee match, of course I wished he'd won. In the end it's on him as he's got to score a takedown...multiple takedowns actually. That being said, he'll learn from it and I still know he'll be a hammer. And I also thought Bress stalled his ass off. I'm all for working from space as I like watching quick guys like that but he would back up and avoid, Spencer stalked and Bress moved backwards. I need to watch it again but in my mind I was thinking Spencer was playing right into Bress's gameplan and kudos for Bress for pulling it off.

Here's a question for all of us wanting a review and being pissed unattached can't have reviews. Didn't it used to be that officials could call for their own review? Did they change that option? I know I saw that in the past so I suppose it changed?

Also, didn't Bress have a side headlock for an extended amount of time and no stall call in that situation? I thought you couldn't hang out in a side headlock (thanks Edinboro guy who's name escapes me) for more than 5 seconds like that when on top?
Anyway, again, I'm not pissed Spencer lost, just the manner that he lost but ultimately it's on him for not beating that guy by 10 pts like I feel he's capable. Learn and move on, the loss is there, now go pull a Cael!

 

[SansSouci]

Flo sucks, I thought this was on BTN?

 

[Huck]

Also regarding seeding. If it's anything like High School in Missouri the computer can pretty much seed it automatically. Thanks to trackwrestling, us coaches show up and the points are pretty much already calculated and it's a formality. .
Midlands puts in their seedind criteria and track spits out the seeds. There are a few times the coaches get involved but most of coaches discussions are now few and far between.

 

[HawkeyePA]

Tsirtis in a barn burner 1-0 middle of the second. I think he just loves to wrestle so much that he wants to stay out there for 9 minutes or more per match.

Thats the BEST LINE of this thread...i was reading post after post and literally broke into laughter when reading this one..... go collect your chicken dinner ..Mr Winner Winner

 

[hawknut]

Here's my serious answer then. Cash has been in the room for over two years. Warner has been in the room for less than half a year. Cash has wrestled in quite a few big D1 multi-day tournies. Warner is in his first. The last two years Cash has been wrestling a full match every time out. The last two years Warner has been ending his matches early. And to explain that last loss for Warner, it may very well the first time in many years he found himself in a situation where he had to fight off a loss and go to the backside.

Makes sense. Thx.

 

[hawknut]

Oh it was. How I miss those days

Sadly, you are right about my me. Like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.

 

[chuck285]

I'm sure his focus dropped some. He looks gassed big time too. Short time after the Wilke match and he does have tank issues at times anyway. Brunner beat Wilke last year and is a big dude. Seemed to overpower Warner a bit. Jake also let him stick legs in because he probably is used to getting out anyway but in the big league you can't do that and he got turned.

How much extra time did Wilke have between matches?

 

[chuck285]

I agree that he doesn’t. Never was coming. Never would have stuck. But the rest is nothing other than excuse making. TeaseRentGate and the aftermath is squarely on their shoulders.

You seem like such a nice guy. I'll bet your wife is never at fault on anything..Glad you love to blame the coaches for everything. Nothing about winning 5 championships but crying about the 133 weight class. Have a nice weekend..

 

[MVPFAN]

How much extra time did Wilke have between matches?

What does it matter? I'm talking about after Warner wrestled Wilke. Wilke was waiting for the finals after that.

 

[Czech Hawk]

I thought he might have tweaked the good knee there. Was that what it looked like?

I would have to go back and look I just assumed it was the knee with the brace. I too noticed that his walk back to center was off. I hope it was nothing and surely could be.
