In case anyone was wondering, Frank Molinaro, fresh of his decimation at the hands of Metcalf, just beat Kyle Ruschell 6-5.

This is a mugging.

**thebest** · 01-31-2010, 02:59 PM

Tech 20-1.

**JensenS** · 01-31-2010, 02:59 PM

Other than the 10-3 win over Brester last year at National Duals that might have been the best match I've ever seen Jake Varner wrestle.

Only reason this is #2 and not #1 is because Brester is better than Simaz is.

He absolutely ABUSED Simaz.

Do I get extra fantasy points for a 19 point tech?

**Zapp Brannigan** · 01-31-2010, 03:06 PM

Come on, Shane! I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ZABRISKIE AND ARNONE STANDING AROUND!!!!

**JensenS** · 01-31-2010, 03:09 PM

We just saw our first shot (or at least the first one that I noticed) of the match at the 6:20 mark as Zabriskie dropped in on a low single that Arnone rubber kneed out of.

Zabriskie scores a reshot TD as I'm typing this and wins a predictably boring match 3-1.

24-13 Iowa State is the final.
