If I am reading that bracket right for big Steve, he just eliminated the only guy that Kober of Iowa hadn't wrestled yet. Now a 3 way tie...all men have wrestled each other.

Points against each other accumulated-
Kober had 5 unless you count it like dual scoring, then add 1 for scoring in a loss vs. Saerve = 6 pts

Saevre had 3pts for beating Saerve and scored against Andrus (if they count that point, it would be 4

Big Steve had a 3pt decision and lost by fall against the other 2.

I believe they go most points, then break the next tie by heads up...if that is the case...Steve should be going for 3rd.

Now if they go by points accumulated total to place you into your medal match...Saerve would have 4 and Steve only 3 with the point scoring system.

Vesta is up ... scoreless after 1-minute ... Vesta wins the flip ... nothing for Vesta ... the Bama kid gets a turn and wins the period.

In the second ... again, scoreless ... Bama wins the flip ... Vesta's D is tough ... Vesta can't score and loses.

Once in a while, you lose to the wrong kid, at the wrong time, in the wrong manner ... it really costs you. Such is what happened to Steve!

That situation will be remedied next year as there will be a rule change ... but it is too late for Steve-O!

Here are the final bouts!

They are currently doing introductions and making some award presentations!

Wrestling will start in about 10 minutes!!

Jeff Vesta is up, facing Matt Rabinowitz of LA. Jeff is wrestling for 5th place!

The wrestlers are scoreless after 1-minute ... Rabinowitz wins the flip ... Vesta's defense is rock solid ... 30 seconds to go ... Vesta scores on the turn and wins the period, 2-0.

Again, scoreless ... again the flip is won by Rabinowitz ... Vesta's defense remains solid ... Vesta scores three ... Jeff Vesta wins, is your 5th place finisher, and is an All-American!!

Live feed is up again with Jason Bryant once again doing the live commentary.

I urge everyone to go to www.livesportsvideo.com for a free webcast!!!

Thanks Randy. I guess I kind of forgot to add the most important part of my post.

Nathan Furches is pitted against Kent Williams of Illinois.

(One thing that is difficult is trying to cover two matches that are occurring at the same time, especially when they are in differents parts of the arena. Nathan was wrestling at the same time as Sharky. Nathan was on a mat in which I could only see the clock. At first, I mistakenly reported Nathan as winning 3rd)

Nathan Furches did finish 4th and is an All-American!

Sharky is facing Steiber from Ohio but never can get anything going. Sharky who did a fantastic job to this point ... in earning the runner-up spot.

Sharky Slyter is an All-American!!

Man Sharky got hit in a pretty wicked front headlock. Congrats to him for making the finals though.

Yeah, That kid Slyter wrestled was ROWDY! Making the finals is a heck of an accomplishment though.

The kid the beat Sharky was just in Sports Illustrated last week or the week before as an athlete of the future.

And a correction, Nathan took 4th.

Kyle Detmer found Jake Bohn of Michigan a bit too tough. Kyle tried valiantly, but trailed throughout and was eventually pinned. Kyle finishes 8th as a first-year Junior and is an All-American!

Tyler Koehn, who looks like a 171-pounder was wrestling, Mark Stenberg of Illinois, who looked like a 189-pounder ... this matchup was at 160-pounds!

It was a very close battle and Tyler was not able to use his great gut for any offense ... he lost the match in 3-periods.

Tyler Koehn is an All-American!

Man, we are having a tough round ... maybe Steve Andrus can come through with a win!!

Big Steve is up ... scoreless after one ... the Badger wins the flip ... his defense is sound ... Steve can't score and loses the first period.

Again scoreless ... Big Steve wins the flip ... but he can't score ... neither can the Badger ... Steve wins the period.

It gets tough when your match is left to a flip ... but once again, in spite of hard work we have a flip ... Steve wins ... Steve can't score ... Steve Andrus wins! Andrus is an All-American!!

Kansas will finish a respectable 10th in this Greco championship! Overall ... a good outing!

The anticipation starts all over!! Tomorrow morning, it is Cadet Freestyle!

It's a beautiful morning in Fargo, ND! The temp right now in 66 but will rise to a balmy 82!!

For once (knocking on my head) we've had very mild weather the entire trip so far. Of course the 100's of hanging flower baskets that NDSU has lining their streets are flourishing. They always look good but this year they do look great.

Still, there is a lot of construction. We have a sidewalk and street crew working just outside our dorm. They start at 7 am and go until at least 7 pm. Those of you that have been reading for years are aware that I've often praised Fargo for their tremendous sidewalks ... and that still is the case!

The Student Union has gone through a complete rehab. Even the FargoDome has gone through extensive additions. It truly is quite a complex.

The arena itself is beyond dreams! On the floor, they can hold 23 mats, a head table that probably accomodates 75, and a media table that handles 20. Still, it does not feel crowded!! I truly wish we had something half that size back home.

The Cadet Freestylers have weighed in and wrestling starts at 9:30 am. In Greco, the youngers had 6 All-Americans. That included a National Champion!

How many All-Americans will we have in Freestyle ... will there be a National Champ?

Conservatively ... my estimate is 6 or 7 AA's ... and 1 National Champ! Here's to hoping I miss ... low!!
