Random next day thoughts.
Random:
- My wife watched the NCSt dual and ACC finals with me since it was on the Big Screen ACCN. She said only two things. "I shouldn't watch anymore" and she calls Pop "The weird beard guy".
- Like the rest of you I am frustrated and tired of losing to NCSt. Congrats to them, I guess.
Rules & Refs:
- TD for Arrington and the stop action call was absolutely terrible.
- The UVa concussion protocol of umlimited time is nonsensical. I am all for protection against concussion, but I didn't see any action that would cause a concussion at the end of the match. Ten minutes to refresh when Crook was dominatng almost changed the outcome. That was borderline cheating.
Team:
- Flynn needs to get back to wrestling like he did in January.
- Henson is solid, but not quite as explosive. Either guys are getting film on him or he is just wearing down. His deadly duck under/slide by has been missing. Maybe add/work on a new neutral move or two with Brewer going into NCAA's?
- So glad Andonian got 3rd and had some serious testing of the knee without an apparant re-injury. Two more weeks to rest and he knows how the knee will hold up. 4 matches in one day and surviving is a big deal. So stressed watching him.
- Brady did the unthinkable and then went right back to his old self. Nice NCAAQ though and glad he seemed to shake off the knee stinger.
- Mekhi is Mekhi. Impenetrable beast and is on the lucky side of injury bug this year (Starocci and Griffith), but sometimes it seems he wrestles down to his competition.
- TJ is going to be good if he can hold 184 for his career.
- Smith

This exactly. Safety first, within reason. It definitely benefitted UVa.**
