This weekend starts a big weekend for Cornell wrestling so it shouldn't be buried in a basketball thread.

Today, #3 Cornell kicks off the season against #10 Maryland. Coach Rob Koll talks about them here.

The matchups:

125 - No. 1 Troy NickersonFrank Perrelli (Cornell) 4 vs. James Knox (Maryland) 1 (CU 3-0)

HWT - No. 12 Josh Arnone (Cornell) 4 vs. Patrick Gilmore (Maryland) 6 (OT) (MD 18-17) *sigh*

As Al D. previously noted, there are 4 matchups of top 10 wrestlers, with each school favored in 2.

Then, on Saturday, Maryland sticks around Ithaca and join Cornell as it hosts the Body Bar open with representatives from Army, Binghamton, Buffalo, Clarion, Columbia, Drexel, Ithaca, #20 Kent State, Sacred Heart and Wyoming.

The results will probably get posted here but if you are into Twitter, you can follow along at http://twitter.com/bigredwrestling

This should be one heck of a match. Lots of intersting classes that can swing the outcome. Welcome to D1 Mr. Dake. :-)

Is the wrestling match loading for anybody on redcast?

Just came up. Was getting worried about it saying 6:50 for the start time.

And then it stopped after the "oh you look nice in purple" comment.

I've got nothing.

I've got nothing.

Yeah, not getting wrestling, bball or hockey right now. Sent off a message to tech support for the wrestling.

[Jacob '06]

Well a great start on the biggest cornell sports night of the year, or whatever it says on the front of athletics. Anyone else try tech support? I haven't gotten any response from them yet.

[Al DeFlorio]

Tech support said it was a "small difficulty."  Big or small, I'm getting zilch.  Incompetent at both athletics and ICS.

Its up now for me. Perrelli wrestled 125 and won 4-1.

[Jacob '06]

Grey lost 4-3. Now 3-3 on the dual.

[Jacob '06]

Well Lewnes seemed like he was about to get a tech fall to put us up 14-9 right when the video last froze. Not sure if he pulled off the last takedown or not, but we should be up at least 13-9 after his match.

Mack's tech fall by 18-3.  14-9 team score.

Shades of lacrosse.  Maryland ties the heavyweight match with three seconds left and wins in OT to beat Cornell, 18-17

Looked like Arnone had horrible conditioning, looked half dead from the middle of the 2nd period on. He also thought the match was over when he gave up that takedown I think. Then he pretty much just gave up in OT. I feel like conditioning and/or trying to stall away the match with a lead seems to be an issue with some Cornell guys.
