Come on Taylor, get us started out on the right foot! Good luck Bucky!

Those were not back points on RT and I have no idea why there was not more of a challenge by Barry.

Good job Barry making RT go back and shake his hand. Not as if a loss is a surprise for RT. His B10 match was close too.

Well frick......come back for 3rd RT.

thought he would challenge, nothing to loose on a challenge when the other man already has points

Why are we putting no one down in this tournament?

was thinking the same thing... down by 3 seems like you go down, I realize PS had about 45 second ride time but you figure if RT gets a td he could eliminate a small ride time deficit

Weird match. The quick NF might have been challenged. Then when Ryan got two quick TDs it looked like he was going to take over. Then things slowed down and he didn't get too close the rest of the way. Too bad, good luck coming back, hopefully he can get on the podium.

I thought watching live the NF was a bad call but when I watched it again they were legit. Two counts. He kind of stalled in the high bridge. Margin of error is very small. Tough to come back after getting down by 4 and getting ridden out. Tough road back to 3rd place match. Would have to beat DiJulius, Hall, and then the loser of Dardanes and Brewer.

The Badgers are giving up so many points simply because nobody can go down and actually get out. This teams needs some serious work on mat wrestling.

Neutral was the right call. Riding time was under a minute, JG had ridden him out and turned him in the first, and you cannot afford to waist any time when you are down by 3.

Lol... hey now, lets not be questioning any of Barrys coaching skills.

It was the right call but you can't win championships if you can't trust to get out.

Sadly, with nothing to base it on, I predict this is Thielke's last match in a Badger uniform and maybe his last folkstyle match ever.

Not a good start for the Friday Morning session, hope things change real soon!! I might have to agree with Doc, but I hope were both wrong

leg turk · March 20, 2015, 10:58:25 AM

Thielke finishes the year 6-13

Badgers- 0 for 2 so far today.

mkm13 · March 20, 2015, 10:59:11 AM

I have no idea how Thielke couldn't make 133. He was way smaller than Cruz. He had no chance at his size/strength compared to him.
