F-ing kids are gonna give me a heart attack

Sorenson dug DEEP on that one. Hard to beat a top 10 guy 4 times in a row. Bring on Collica for a trip to the finals!
Thankfully I was able to stream Brandon's match. My heart might be all that glad but the rest of the body is pumped. Beating suefluen for the fourth time? Awesome
I've been watching this kid since 2nd grade (Partnered with my kid at clubs occasionally) and I'll tell you he was in a different league from the very start. His first match was rough, but looks like he got the rust out and should be wrestling in the finals
Not looking for style points here. Way to punch your ticket to tonight, Brandon!
Collica is tough, but I actually like that match-up better than Mayes. Mayes' quickness and explosiveness are pretty scary.

Did he win? When you get to Friday it is about survival. Did you see all the top guys go down in the last 24 hours?
I get what everyone is saying about Sorenson and you guys are absolutely right. It's all about survive and advance at this point and that was a gutsy win.
That said, BS is so frustrating to watch sometimes. He took one committed shot in almost 10 minutes of wrestling. Just feels like he could've accomplished that takedown much earlier and not had to have sweat and worked that hard. When he commits to a shot, he's pretty efficient. But a win is a win. Very happy for him. Hope we finish strong here and Brooks and Burak bring it.

Definately agree. It seemed that BS had several times to keep forward pressure in the 3rd and OT and could have forced JS out and gotten that second stall call, but he'd let up and move back to the center.

I'm just spitballing in here but maybe it's possible that it is easier to get a take down after 10 minutes of wrestling because the other guy is wore down versus him being fresh and being able to counter or defend your shot early in the match... just a thought
How many times have we seen a guy beat another guy all season only to lose the last match in some end of year big tourney? These matches tend to get close because of familiarization.Sorensen won and that's all that matters.
Agreed. Give me Collica all day over Mayes.
C'mon Blair!!! You got to learn the rules!!! you only report the score if Iowa is leading or within single digits of Penn State otherwise you will create a mutiny
I've been impressed at the rate stalling has been called. It's been rather quick at times but it seems rather consistent. Seems to be at a rate of 3 or 4 attempts or shots to 1.
In theory I agree with you but Collica had to beat both Tsirtsis and Mayes to get here. He is wrestling pretty damn well
They still don't do a good enough job of calling stalling on the top wrestler, IMO
How many offensive points has Sorenson given up this year? I can't think of any other than Zain. Did Sueflohn get him at the Midlands maybe? His defense is impressive and he knows there aren't many guys that can score on him. He's so efficent when he gets to the leg that he's like a sniper. One shot, one kill and he picks his opportunities very carefully. Like it or not, he's very effective.
