Getting DC to commentate is a huge plus for the NCAAs

[@rayfamily4893]

Dude it was so cool! He added so much energy to the matches too.

[@WS3RD]

Gotta agree. He was like the Tony Romo of the NCAA Wrestling Championships. For many years, it's been vanilla. Jeff Blatnick was amazing with his commentary. Watch the Rob Rohn (Lehigh) finals match. Jeff called everything correctly after Rohn's cement job. But I liked DC -- he's reaching the younger generation. That's what this sport needs.

[@05sidedfistagon]

Nope, DC is a tool! Besides, didn’t he cheat on national TV?

[@neilgunns8391]

I'm not happy he left Rutgers either Robert, but we have no idea his reasons. He left to try and make the Olympics, so maybe things changed when he tried to return. It definitely looks like he wasn't supported by the coaches in Penn State when he got injured, so that appears to be the reason he left there. There's a few options in MMA nowadays.....I'd assume he'd wanna go the best one right now. He's gotta start training specifically for that first though, so he's a ways away.

[@ryangottwald2362]

For everyone saying Suriano was stalling, how many points did Glory score?

[@boriskoblents8586]

Agreed. he got the only takedown, a reversal, and had dominant control. The official gave enough stall call points within reason. No way should stalling be worth a takedown and a reversal.

[@Willsmiff1985]

Not a one. Glad the refs didn’t make the final stalling call. Would have been criminal to send this into OT when Glory had done nothing to win.

[@luke8536]

So if you have more points you can’t stall? That’s literally when you stall the most. He was definitely stalling in the last period.

[@luke8536]

@Mark Huf Wow great argument. What was wrong with what I said? He literally laid there with his hands in, then when Glory let him up he ran away the rest of the match. The first stall call early on I didn’t agree with but those in the third were the right call.

you aint lying. lee a different animal

[@jonahdelrio]

Even if lee came back this year it wouldve been a still recovering and not fully healthy lee vs a healthy and more offensive than we've ever seen suriano due to his time in freestyle than in previous years. I dont know who would win bc im convinced lee can turn just about anyone on top but from a neutral position which is likely where it wouldve been and those key factors playing in, i think suriano probably wouldve had the edge just by a little. That first time they wrestled in college suriano lost but he was also injured and he only time he beat lee was as a freshmen and lee a 8th grader. Healthy im takin lee but odds this year wouldbe been suriano

@@jonahdelrio You do make some good points. However, I just cant bring myself to doubting Lee healthy or not lol. Dude won a national title with no acls like what in the world.

@@joeyvecchione2911 he did but he got surgery and with the time it takes sat out, and trying to fully recover from that i think suriano wouldve had the edge. I like both wrestlers and i'd prolly take lee anyday over suriano but bc of that factor i cant see it being anymore than either a 5-4 or a 3-2 at worst 7-2 in favor of suriano bc of it being more shots and lee not being able to get off too many attacks of his own.
