isnt LaMont Ottos weight ?

Lamont moved up to 67 this year, but, was wrestling 60kg last year…

Sadly, you nailed it. Unless these guys overperform and Penn St underperforms..

Another one-sided slaughter.

Spent 4hrs in an emergency room today but made it out in time for the pre-event presser…

The French invented Greco-Roman so they could get all tight chest to chest and tongue kiss during matches.

adorable…

greco is the closest approximation to what wrestling starting as when roman soldiers where training between battles 3000 years ago…

dive in on a leg in battle and you are dead as fried chicken very quickly…

Seriously…

You washed the laundry, yes?

Lol

Even that won’t matter. Penn State is built different these days. The final score will shock people. There will be bonus points in a few of those matches too.

Rome didn’t exist 3000 years ago

Split your hairs in some other thread…

well, both in the semis later today…

otto cruised with two 8-0 techs both in under a minute… was a bit surprised he was able to do that to Lamont so easily…

max is hurting… that 4 hrs in the ER was for a staph infection that popped up on his butt cheek… had it lanced and drained… anywhere else and he probably doesn’t get through skin checks… he body is wrecked and he has no pop… i do not have much hope for him getting past randon in the semis and if he does i would be very surprised if he will have anything for roberts…

i chatted with Otto a little bit ago and apparently he is feeling better…

praise Odin for the long break until semis… Randon is not a punk at all and those two have never not had a hard match with the exception of when max was up 4-0 in 20 seconds then tore his ligaments in his hip fighting off randon’s ridiculous front head a couple of years ago…

i am hopeful he can push through because the top side got blown up and i feel like even not 100% he handles either richards or cortez…

we will see…

catching up on some of the other brackets…

Raney in the semis at 55 against someone i have never heard of… Del Gall… the bracket says he beat crosby which i was sorta paying attention to that match and wanted to reach through the screen and strangle kenneth… my guess is Raney mauls him and then has Koontz in the finals…

Cortez and Richards semi at 60 is probably a pick em based on what i have seen from both today… less i say about their technique the better…

63 has been very predictable with both ildar and coleman cruising through the bracket… i expect that to continue through the semis…

67 has nutter and stepania in the semis opposite of otto… nutter has been off for two years so i will be interested to see how he competes with step… at their best, neither are/were punks so it will be interesting…

72 has sancho rolling through his top side… i dont see anyone giving him any problems… on the bottom side we have kikiniou and peyton robb… kik is the son of of the guy in his mid 40s that made a comeback a couple of years ago and made our team… he first wrestled at the 2004 olympics for belarus… anyway, kid is a fargo champ… my favorite thing about peyton robb is the benji peak intervioew after benji had thrown him on his dome and said ā€œto all you folk guys coming over into greco, don’t do it… it is not safeā€¦ā€

at 77kg kamal bey opposite rix mcelhinn on top… rix is an age level world teamer… i can’t see him having anything for kamal… the bottom side the older kikinio mentioned above against britton holmes… i am fan of the way holmes wrestles… hard and scrappy… all he has to do is stay out of kik’s patented kinda odd two on one on the upper arm to a spin…

saw that earlier…

what he did to Lamont was an even better clip…
