Jordan just upset #5 Ethan Stiles 15-5 to win the Pac 12 title!! Dude was on a mission today.
He really didn’t do anything “unexpected or crazy” is how I would say. It was a good scrap too. Thought little had a chance after the first but AJ rode hard and then Little kinda looked like he got concussed but they cleared him. Had a bad swelling over his right eye too. Clearly affected him the rest of the way.

AJ Ferrari DEC Stephen Little 2-0
I wonder if Little wouldn't have had to take injury time in the second that maybe AJ gasses a little in the third and that changes things. AJ was breathing hard after the first period. Will be interesting to see AJ wrestle twice on Friday at nationals against good opponents.
That was my thought! He coulda gassed him!
"The guys in 3 point stance, they are not really wrestling. There should be rules, I personally feel that if you on your knees or in a three-point stance, you should be getting hit for stalling because its hard for me to get under him. What am I going to do? Jump over you and do a flying squirrel ?"
Edit: Also talks a lot of other guys in 197. Buchanan, Barr, Cardenas, Surber, etc., This guy is content machine.

That was a really good interview. I was on the fence about the 3-point stance thing, but he convinced me
This is interesting. Indicates to me that it might be hard for Cael to explain to his AD why he thinks he does not need to go collect a big pay day in Tulsa at National Duals next year.
I think it paints a pretty scary picture for the sport as we move into the revenue sharing era. Even big 10 teams who have large revenue from their conference may look at where they can save.
Iowa currently sits in 4th place at B1G’s. Teemer and Arnold losing in quarterfinals
Yea. PSU 2 number 1 seeds already lost. Kasak got them back on track with a pin over Andrell Taylor. I don’t believe this is the ideal scenario for PSU this year.
