I don't think he was the OW of the tourney, he was the OW of the finalist handed out by the Big Ten Network. The coaches awards, which is the official, for OW of the tournament would not of been announced by the end of the broadcast. Now he might get the coaches but I doubt it, I would put my money on Retherford getting the official OW.Yikes. I think he had the 5th best tournament out of all the champs.
Boo again! 149 is a tough B1G class, but not compared to 184.The PSU twitter said it was Retherford.
Ha, suck it up big boy. Seriously, I can see Brooks as a contender for OW, but he needed Retherford to look human in the finals to get it.Boo again! 149 is a tough B1G class, but not compared to 184.
I figure there's already two OW awards, why not a third for the "real" winner?Ha, suck it up big boy. Seriously, I can see Brooks as a contender for OW, but he needed Retherford to look human in the finals to get it.
This doesn't make sense. Snyder is one of the smallest heavyweights, for example.Wrestling didn't win today. Weight lifting and huge wrestlers won today. Frankly, a step back for the sport.

Brooks did more against more.
Snyder can out lift and out bench anyone in the world. Straight up he is stronger than anyone at Heavyweight.
Don't try to get inside his head, it's a scary place.Dude. You don't honestly believe that right?
Yes. He was the only one. Tomasello probably weighed 155 pounds today when he wrestled Clark. It's an advantage.
Lifetime achievement awardYikes. I think he had the 5th best tournament out of all the champs.
Might have been the most entertaining match of the tournament.Toma will probably never weigh that much for the rest of his life.
BTW, I don't get the step back thing. For all the whining and complaining some posters did last night, the finals were far from a stall fest and quite entertaining.
You enjoyed the match then? How did your guy do in it?Might have been the most entertaining match of the tournament.
Dude. You don't honestly believe that right?
Was absolutely brutal watching Tomasello escape with about .5 seconds left in regulation. I was feeling pretty good about Cory keeping control after Tomasello sat out with about :06 left. Hats off to him for getting it done. Cory's bad shoulder couldn't have helped as he tried to keep hold of him there.
Even though Cory didn't win the tournament, my hat goes off to him. Many of us probably didn't see him making the finals with the injury. He's such a crafty dude, seeing Tomasello at Big Tens will pay off for him at Nationals if they meet again. Would love to see him get a rematch Saturday night. I'll love his chances if he does.
I certainly don't expect us to win Nationals by any means, but that tournament, as we all know, is built for teams with a nucleus of studs. We have a legit chance to put 5 in the finals with one likely champ and maybe two. Could at least put us in the conversation and make it interesting. With a healthy Stoll and a healthy Clark, I'd give us a shot.
Yes, I did enjoy the match and my guy Cory Clark came up just short. However, it looked to me like Cory can definitely beat this guy. I hope they meet again in St Louis.You enjoyed the match then? How did your guy do in it?
Ha, suck it up big boy. Seriously, I can see Brooks as a contender for OW, but he needed Retherford to look human in the finals to get it.

Dumbest thing I've read on here lately.
He throws everyone around like a rag doll. Yes, he is super strong, as is their entire team, they stress power lifting and you can see it. I don't like that they cut so much weight, but that's how they do it and today, their way won.
Yikes. I think he had the 5th best tournament out of all the champs.
Snyder and kollin Moore cut a ton. Heard it's anywhere from 20-30 lbs weekly. Pletcher also cuts a ton.
Why the hell was Pletcher making 133 for opens if he was cutting a ton just to get to 141?
Some imposter had stepped in for the Flaming_Tiger.Wouldn't of complained if they gave it to Brooks. Won a very deep bracket and destroyed Martin in the finals. I was impressed.
21Guns, please don't post your nonsense on 2 message boards. Thanks.
- Everyone
I was making fun of the idiot above. Obviously none of them are cutting to make their respective weigh class.
