I'm not talking about fireworks. I'm talking about sloppy wrestling. SHots with no set up, stalling, giving up the legs on snatch shots, giving up escapes with no effort...I could go on.

Great effort by Jamal Parks coming back against Ness at 149. Probably the most urgency I'd ever seen him wrestle with.

Got down 5-0 early after Ness threw him to his back and nearly pinned him, but just kept picking his way back.

I tend to have a fairly good eye for this kind of thing: a close friend(s) of Coleman Scott's needs to intervene and tell him that the beard needs to go.

It isn't working very well...

I kept waffling back and forth as to whether Ness would pull that win out in my predictions and finally settled back on Parks. Looks like they were acting out my waffling predictions...I think in a match like that Ness has to keep going unconventional, sounds like Parks got back to his game and started dictating after that...

Unless I'm hearing Jason Bryant wrong, how did Tony Nelson get so big so fast?

Jason is talking about how BIG Nelson is, yet, wasn't he considered one of the smaller heavyweights last year? Didn't he come from the 215 pound weight class in high school?

Nelson win at heavyweight seals up the second dual in a row as the Gophers take it hom 18-13

Probably doesn't happen if OK State has all their guys, but unfortunately those are the breaks this time of the year.

I would not consider Tony a big heavyweight. He's still extremely muscular and somewhat lean for a heavy. Not to say he's not very strong, but he's probably 230ish if I had to guess.

I remember based off the weigh in sheet that Mark Palmer sent me from NCAA's a few years ago it seems like most heavyweights are perceived to be bigger than they actually are.

I remember seeing that most guys were 15-20 pounds lighter than I thought they were with Mark Ellis probably being the most jarring example.
