Recommended Posts

I have my concerns w/ some of the fellas in the Hawkineer line-up... even w/ the substitutions by the nits.

I figured that the nits were going to win this dual., no questions asked.

(... uh, by the way. Did  anyone hear the nitsfans yeowl out their, "We are..." I didn't hear it during the Service Electric/FLO stream. Could've done during the commercial breaks,  but meh!🙄)

Beard wins an incredible match over Dean.  11-9.  Revenge is sweet.

Boy, Dean was totally gassed by the end.  They were in neutral and he was pretty much staggering toward Beard trying to engage for a Hail Mary TD at the end.

Anyone recall the last time a #1 and defending champion lost two matches in a row the next year, much less two in one weekend?

Technically a Champion  sure but he was gifted that by the officials in 2 matches...

I’m guessing there’s a bug going through the team. Brooks sat on Friday and looked … not great today against Samuelson. RBY sits out today. Dean looked like dog shit both days, with his conditioning looking worse than Beard’s, which is something I thought I’d never say.

And ducked the all-star

My worry for Dean is the same for all older wrestlers, Life. You can only be a kid so long. Once life starts happening focus becomes more difficult for some.

There are world team members in their 30's with more responsibilities on their plate than a master's student taking half course load and weighing in 2-4 times a month.

I don't think Dean's issue is a lack of focus. I think he is one of the top wrestlers at his weight but has not fully separated himself. I also think it is possible that he (and a few other Lions) have been down with a bug or something similar. Brooks, for example, didnt wrestle Friday and looked a little flat against Lehigh on Sunday

Dean is probably wrestling up a weight bc he can’t beat brooks , he’s short for 197 has a a lot of tough match ups for him size wise , so when he has a rough weekend he has less room for error than other returning champs who are wrestling at their ideal weight class , either way he should be good for march , and beard had everything to gain and wrestle for in this match in his home gym and it was still close , hoping we get a rematch on Friday or Saturday night in march
