2011 Midlands Championships, Day Two: Finals Open Thread

Midlands coverage (all times CT):
12/29: 9:30am -- Session I, 7pm -- Session II (Quarterfinals, consolation rounds)
12/30: 12pm -- Session III (Semifinals, consolation rounds), 7:20pm -- Session IV (Finals, consolation rounds)

TV: Northwestern All-Access (Thursday Quarterfinals); BTN (9:30pm CT; tape-delayed coverage of Friday's Finals)

Radio: Takedown Radio (internet radio), Hawkeye All-Access ($$$), AM-800 KXIC (free if you're in Iowa)

Liveblog: The Open Mat / Andy Hamilton at Hawk Central. I'll also be open threading the event on Thursday and Friday.

BRACKET Right here

And, yes, BTN's airing of the Finals will also be opposite the Insight Bowl. It appears that you can also access NW All-Access if you're a video.BTN.com subscriber, too.

NOTE: Given everything else we have going on -- the Insight Bowl tomorrow, Purdue b-ball wrap-up, the usual random insanity we're prone to delve into -- the Midlands Open Threads are going to be run as FanPosts so that they don't get lost in the shuffle. I'll bump them occasionally, but you should always be able to find them on the right-hand side of the page in the Fanposts section.

by wearing mirrors on their heads? It seems like something that bartender in the BWW commercials would do to send the game to OT.

I don't really know what Lear's gameplan was there.

He was down 6-4 and at some point he was probably going to need to let Evans escape (which would make it 7-4) in order to try and get some takedowns.

I guess his idea was to try and turn him on the mat and get NF points.

Yeah, not entirely sure.

He must have thought that he could ride him for the 80 seconds are so necessary to erase RT, but I don’t know where he expected to pick up the other 2 points.

Not the same thing.

Taylor is just really, really good at 165. I think Evans will be fine against most guys at 165 and should be able to fight for All-America status at NCAAs.

The voids at 149 and 184 (or 197, depending on what Gambrall does) are bigger problems. Although Kelly seems like a decent option at 149. I’m less worried about him giving up bonus points to Molinaro than I am Evans giving up bonus points to Taylor, even though I think Evans is, in general, a better wrestler than Kelly. It’s just a function of matchups.

Although I imagine Evans would have preferred to wrestle a match to try to erase the taste of that last loss.

His first TD in a while.

Iowa's done wrestling until tonight.

I believe they’ll be doing the 1st/3rd/5th place matches all at the same time.

Starts at 7:20pm.

This is not a good thing, in my book.

Jager is the only liquor I refuse.

It’s the only one proven time and again to make me sick. With so many good liquors to choose from that don’t make me projectile vomit, I’ll pass. Plus it tastes like liquorice.

Watching Steele Jantz is painful

He is horrendous. Awful. Hor-awful. He had a man wide open in the flat with a blocker in front of the receiver and Jantz sailed the pass out of bounds into the ISU sideline. He lacks talent. Iowa losing to that guy is a goddamn joke.

Rhoads is also going bananas on the sideline. He’s SO PROUD to be their coach.

Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.

did this just happen or was I hearing things?:

Fowler:“how do you feel about 2nd and 24?”
Jesse Palmer:“2nd and California? no problem.”

Be nice!

Isn’t he Canadian? Cali may be the only state he knows. If I did color for CFL games, I drop lots of Manitoba jokes.

Why didn’t we play this version of Iowa State? Where Steele Jantz plays like a fucking moron?

I watched these finals in some "sports bar" (more like pick up bar) on UFC night

I contended with a bunch of Texans decked out in Tapout and Affliction gear. McD looked pretty good (can’t give up that early takedown).

I was happy with Ramos. That Carter kid was a pure counter guy and the refs kind of let him sit back and be defensive in the third period. Tony lost by being aggressive and you can’t fault that.

Montell just didn’t turn it on early enough; Maple is tough as hell, but Montel can and should beat him.

EL just got beat. Not much to say there. I think Ethan is better than what he showed, but Munster is good.

Telford wrestled well, I thought. Trice is a douche and I think the ref let him hang on Bobby a little too much once they stood up. Locked hands is a shit way to lose. That match was chippy as hell, but after Trice’s post match strut I am sure that Bobby will be waiting in the tall grass for that guy.

I watched Patacsil’s finals match and came away impressed with Kelly. They guy is nails on top. My brother said that Kelly was about to pick down in that match and Zaddick came running around the mat screaming at him not to.

Also, I wanted to say that I think that Barry Davis looks eerily like a Russian Chess Grandmaster.

Trice is a fucking punk.

I guess I won’t get to root against him this year at NCAAs (he’s redshirting, hence that phenomenally weird singlet), but I’ll be happy to do so next year.

Los Hermanos Brands have definitely matured in their old age, though. The old Brands boys would have clocked Trice after the shit he pulled post-match.

Did you see that they even shook his hand after the match

Telford was pissed.

Yeah

I can’t believe he was that smug for winning on a fucking LOCKED HANDS point. What a douche.
