Iowa, Rutgers, Bucknell Tri Meet

gotta love the NY boys predicting a win for Levalley.

My guess is, if he didn't beat Dake, no one would talking about him.

Calling it early: Metcalf gets upset at NCAA's, doesn't make it to the finals.

Everyone talking about how tough LeValley is keeping myself at a loss. He was only "in" the match because he took away all his offense and did nothing but prepare to defend the barage of metcalf's attacks. Kudos to him for managing to stalemate, flee, and nearly counter Brent's offense, but without offense of his own, he can't depend on countering when someones in deep to beat the best. Metcalf was dominant on the feet, just being mitigated. I expected a more even match from the score, but LeValley was close to scoring once, off of a weird scramble situation. You can't score if someones going to use the tie to make it so you can't attack. This match was just disappointing to watch someone wrestle so it looks good on paper, and not wrestle to win the match. You can say "thats his only chance is to keep it close" but how about working something into some offense on the feet rather than stalling with a russian..

there is no doubt in my mind that if Metcalf wrestled up at 157, Burroughs would def. beat him... burroughs is too quick for metcalf.

d@m...Metcalf is the man no doubt but it doesn't look like its gonna be a walk through for him this year. i hope he wins it this year but he's not lookin like he did last year, he gotta get that mojo back unless he's burned out.

As long as we're pointing out where people got lucky, it looks like Levalley got lucky at 3:00. And 5:00.

Levalley seems very similar in build/style to Caldwell, maybe why he gave Metcalf so much trouble.

metcalf did not seem relentless as usual

metcalf got lucky

LeValley did exactly what he had to do to give himself a chance to win. I tell my wrestlers a lot of times when they are going up against a superior wrestler, "to make it a one move match". You have to give yourself a shot to win. I know Kevin very well and this is not how he would like to wrestle anyone, but it is the only way for him to wrestle Metcalf. I have some very good wrestlers that also know, this is how they are going to get wrestled a lot. It is the reality of the sport. Sometimes you have to give yourself a shot to win. Other times, you have to keep points off the board for the team. Kevin did a great job and gave himself a shot at winning this match. It is not a fun match to watch for the Metcalf fan, but they might have to get use to it.

of course he could be beat... we all saw the finals last year

Metcalf looked sluggish and distracted. On the other hand, LaValley has beaten #6, #15, & #20 this year.(To answer Red Dog) This was his first loss.

i guess 2 on 1s are good against metcalf

metcalf is still an animal, no matter waht

Wow! LeValley is great!

LeValley has been kicking tail all year. He's beat the crap out of some really good wrestlers this year.
