SWINfan Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) The arena announcer does a helluva job, I'm impressed with his ability to keep up with all 8 mats, announcing results and some play by play as well as sharing tidbits on the wrestlers. You can hear him if watching on the ESPN app when you select an individual mat that doesn't have specific announcers.

UncleJimmy Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I swear I heard him pronounce Minn-a-Sooo--taaahh yesterday with the hard twang! Was waiting for the "yah-der-eh" at the end. He is good. SWINfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWINfan Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Not so breaking news.... Levi Haines is freaking good!! He lost a scramble with Bryce Andonian and found himself down 6-0 early. He worked his way back, eventually tying the match at 8 in the 3rd period before getting turn and the fall. What a comeback against a tough, tough opponent.

Unfortunately SVN was able to mount yet another late comeback. He will have either Demas or Blockhus next and if he wins that he will likely have either Gomez or Murin in the blood round Okay so im not reading the brackets right? I thought rooks is in the blood round already and will get demas or blokhus and then if he wins he’ll face Gomez or murin and loser of that goes for 7th/8th. Or can someone explain?

Yotti4 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) I worded that way wrong, lol. My fault, he is in the blood round. Edited March 17, 2023 by Yotti4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWINfan Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Jesse won his first match this morning by fall and came back to win (on criteria?) against Dylan Ragusin. He'll face Lucas Byrd in the blood round this evening. Win that one and he'll face either Micky Philippi from Pitt or Sam Latona. He's in the thick of it, but the sledding from this point ain't easy!

SWINfan Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Holy crap! Mendez got a takedown with 4 seconds left in OT to take a 3-2 lead and then let him up to tie at 3. But Byrd had chosen down and took 17 seconds to escape. Mendez chose neutral so Byrd had no riding time and Jesse gets the win. Personally, I don't like that rule and how it can be manipulated. If riding time is the tie breaker, I don't think you should be able to choose neutral. Nonetheless, kudos to Jesse and OSU for taking advantage of the rules in place. And KUDOS to him for getting the late takedown when Byrd chose to retreat rather than wrestle. We discussed that and the often negative results that happen too often. Congrats, All-American Jesse Mendez! navy80, busstogate and beaner2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWINfan Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) What a freaking night of wrestling and we're only 2 weight classes into the Semis! Spencer Lee and Daton Fix both lose in the semifinals and somehow RBY survives. He kept his cool in a big way to win in sudden victory 6-4! Jesse pulls a rabbit out of a hat to earn AA Status. Unfortunately, Rooks couldn't get it done and loses 6-2 Edited March 18, 2023 by SWINfan UncleJimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas had such a tough draw this year. Im confident he could beat several AA's at 197 this year. Heck, Dean just won his blood round match. Purdue lost in basketball!! They were the one seed and got beat by the 16 seed. beaner2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
