A couple of HUGE matches in here.
1-Gabe Dean beats Bastida. I thought the way he was Wrestling, how prolific he is on his feet, he'd get Dean moving, use his length and really make it tough.
That he's going into each match down 1-0 because he doesn't go down is a killer for him, but...he grew up Wrestling Freestyle.

2-The most notable...Is Gomez beating Yianni now the 2nd biggest upset of the season?
I didn't think there was a Wrestler in the Country at 84 or 97 who could touch Brooks. Last year he was Wrestling an Olympic Bronze Medalist and he BARELY gave up that one TD in the B1Gs and he avenged that.


Brooks, Yianni and Lee would have been the 3 guys I would have bet would not lose this year. I'd have lost 2 of those bets and maybe Glory or someone else will make me 0-3.


3-Levi Haines is an absolute stud. I said last year I thought he had a chance to be PSU's next Freshmen NC. A CHANCE. He's done nothing this past 10 days to disprove that.

It'll be interesting to see if they end up leaving him in RS or not.
