1) Prant learns that Chris Fleeger, who beat Shawn Bunch last night, got to the semis on a bogus injury default. I hope he loses.
2) Purdue beat Kansas State in the 1998 Alamo Bowl (37-30?). Their mascot is a train. All of these things make me want to cheer for the nerd from Penn, Valenti.
3) I didn't get to see Valenti when Hofstra wrestled Penn earlier this year, because our 133 pounder is fat and never makes weight.
4) I was very impressed by Valenti's scramble in the first period. His athleticism is very Prant-like.
5) Valenti has a dumb sun tattoo in the middle of his back.
6) Bogus stalling call on Valenti.*
7) Stalling warning on Fleeger. Prant agrees with this call.
8) Valenti did some weird whirly-gig move.
9) In a victory for nerds everywhere, Valenti wins. Prant immediately challenges him to a spelling bee.

*Prant is also a stalling enthusiast.
