  I'm not exactly sure what happens at 4pm, but it looks like some teams will be leaving early to get a leg up on the travel.
  
  Either way, I think we have ample opportunity to see some ABSOLUTELY G-R-E-A-T wrestling this weekend.
  
  Then, Tuesday, is the Central District All-Star meet!!! Sensory overload! Good greif, if knightflyer says hi to me on Tuesday I might need some new undies!!!!!!!

  yup...i was too!!! more mumbo jumbo...leaving out the details
• cruiser_96

  

  I don't recognize all the teams so it might be difficult to guess sweet match-ups, but I will say that some of the duals like NDC/CSU and NDC/MU - or even UF/CSU - could get entertaining! I think those type of duals have the makings for some very close matches.
  
  Aside from that, I think this event showcases a wide array of wrestling...and mostly Ohio! I'd love to see KSU and OU involved somehow. All Sunday long there will be great matche going on!

  Great match between the Buckeyes and the Mountain Hawks!
  
  22-12 ... Good guys!
  
  CoMo = riding time stops when clasping is committed. There should have been 1:03 left on the clock instead of :58, which is where some of my confusion started. So he's up by one with 10 seconds, clasps to tie it and stops the decent of the riding time, which his opponent had the advantage, and thus, gained the go-ahead point to win the 285 match.
  
  Other than, great night. I'd a like to see Jameson pull it out, but then, who would not have?
• zambrown

  

  Did you run into the boy? He was there with some teammates. I had to work.
• cruiser_96

  

  I saw him - i think - from across the gym. If he had his lettermen's jacket on, i saw him. I also saw the snuggly one!
• alaah

  Cruiser,
  Maybe I missed the riding time point, I thought the ref awarded the escape.
• Refman

  Had the assistant raised the signal higher, the table was trained to know to stop it...it did cause some confusion, especially from the coaches viewpoint, on both sides. In the end it all worked out.
• zambrown

  

  Yep and yep, Cruiser. Wish I hadn't had to work.
• batwing74

  I'm Just curious what happened that jameson got the start over nemec? was there an injury or something?
• Power half

  Nemic was a scratch skin I herd.
• cruiser_96

  

  Skin. He's on for tomorrow though.
