Big Twelve wrestling championships today

[MiccoMacey]

I'll try and look for updates as they happen.

If you hear something, please let us know.

Thanks.

[MiccoMacey]

Got these from the ISU site. The pigtail matches are done, and we got our a$$es kicked.

Comparin's back, but he lost. So did Rowe, King, and Dyer. Only Roberts won in the pigtails.

Sam is in the finals, and Teyon pinned his semi's opponent. Still have four more who can make the finals, but Roberts pulls Askren next.

[MiccoMacey]

Stornolio loses to OSU's Esposito 12-8. It was 9-8 after two periods, so it was pretty close.

OU beats Nebraska for second place thanks to Askren beating Klein, unless Padden pins Rosholt.

[MiccoMacey]

They're all going to nationals for sure.

FOXSW has the finals on tape delay some time next week.

[Big Red Ron]

Nate Gallick, ISUmust be a total bad ***.

[MiccoMacey]

Gallick is a stud. He's beaten Ware like 8 or 9 times now. The only time Ware has beaten him was in the NCAA finals last year.

I'm glad Dyer got in. I was really disappointed for him at the Big XII's. I hope he can pull off something and get us some points at the NCAA's.

King being first alternate is good. I hate to wish injury on anyone, but if someone does get hurt before nationals, I'm glad he'll get to go.

[suncoastsooner7]

Just shows how deep the Big 12 is that Jarrod King and Chris Oliver are only alternates at the national tourney but both in the top 20 in most publications at their weight classes.

[MiccoMacey]

Jack said he wanted 39 reps from the Big XII. We only got 38.

[suncoastsooner7]

Jack said he wanted 39 reps from the Big XII. We only got 38.

Jack should want to teach our wrestlers that stalling isn't the key to victory. :(

[GDC]

Did anyone see the 10th Anniversary Big 12 wrestling team? Lightner, Ware, and maybe one other Sooner were on it.

Weight classes have changed since the inception of the Big 12.

[MiccoMacey]

Weight classes have changed since the inception of the Big 12.

I was thinking about that, but how do you fit Vering, Rosholt, Sanderson, and Kading into three weights?

Or Lightner, Guerrero, Thompson and Ware into three weights?

Just curious.

[stonecoldsoonerfan]

programming alert-

noon tomorrow cst, fox sports sw-big 12 wrestling. this according to the interactive menu on cox-okc.

my dvd burner is set. it's 10 o'clock. do you know where your programming is set on for tomorrow?

;)

[MiccoMacey]

Dang. I'll be working tomorrow. Maybe I can get my aunt to Tivo it.

[GDC]

I finally got ESPNU and CSN, so that means a lot more wrestling.

[MiccoMacey]

I finally got ESPNU and CSN, so that means a lot more wrestling.

How many other people in/on Stickross Mountain have ESPNU or CSN?

So now you're just braggin'. ;)

[stonecoldsoonerfan]

while were on the subject, will anyone that has espnu be taping the non-finals of the ncaa champ. this year? lemme know and i'll make a deal with ya.

[MiccoMacey]

I'd be willing to get in on that deal as well. I'd love to have a copy of the finals.

When are they going to be aired?

[GDC]

Remember this is Stickross Mountain, after all. I'm getting the phone line for my Tivo tomorrow morning, so hopefully I can figure it out in time to get the matches this weekend. If so we're all in business, and I will hook you guys up.
It's just nice to see a wrestling thread go two pages!

[MiccoMacey]

Remember this is Stickross Mountain, after all. I'm getting the phone line for my Tivo tomorrow morning...

Remember this is Stickross Mountain. The "telephone line" is really two fruit cocktail cans and some yarn which strings across from house to house.

:D

And yes, two pages of wrestling...who'd a thunk it from OU fans?

[stonecoldsoonerfan]

the finals will almost certainly be televised by espn or the deuce. it's the semi's and whatever previous matches that will be hard to get. if someone can get those for me, i'd be happy to trade with you. hollar if you can.

[email protected]

[GDC]

I think I'm out of whack time-wise. Is it this or next weekend?

16th-18th


:( (i'm leaving for tennessee tomorrow. probably won't be back until may..)

[MiccoMacey]

Have fun in TN. I'll root extra hard to make up for those of you who won't be there.

[stonecoldsoonerfan]

you guys should watch this trny. stornliono puts a GREAT move on esposito to put him on his back for a 3 point move. slickest move i've seen in a looooooong time! :D

[MiccoMacey]

Nice way to bring him down for three nearfall.

Too bad Esposito still has his number.

Maybe one day...

And maybe that one day will be March 18th in the NCAA finals...

[usmc-sooner]

how do you guys see the NCAA's going down

I still think

OSU
Minnesota

OU in should be in the top 8

[stonecoldsoonerfan]

esposito is simply better on his feet than storniolo is, plain and simple. that's how he beat him.

i'm hoping with a little luck that we finish in the top 5 again. anyone know how our recruiting class is looking? redshirts coming back next year?

[MiccoMacey]

We lose Ware, Hagar, and Roberts.

As far as recruiting, we gain Shelton from OSU, Shelton from El Reno, and Young from Shawnee (my dad swears he is a stud and is sorry OSU missed out on him).
