Oakland Throwdown 2

[Quantum Jim]

The CMU Grappling Club is going to visit Pitt for a friendly dual meet against the Panther Grappling Club. We decided that it would be a good idea to have a dual meet between our clubs so that you can guys can get some competition experience. The first Oakland Throwdown was great, this one will be better. We will be having our dual meet on Saturday, November 11 at 3:00 PM in Trees Hall at Pitt. It is free for anyone to attend, but you have to be a member of the club to compete. Randy and I will fight two special matches one gi and the other no-gi.

Check out the thread on our message board for rules and more discussion.

Guys,

We are meeting at the airport lounge in the UC (first floor with the black chairs) on Saturday at 2:00 PM.

We all head over to Pitt from there. And dominate.

Oakland Throwdown 2 was a great dual meet. Everyone showed a lot of determination and heart. I am proud of all of you! The final results are that CMU won 44-6. The individual scores are:

• Bryce Lee (CMU) submitted Warren Samuels (Pitt) by RNC (video)
  
• Kevin Smith (CMU) submitted Jonathan VanHoose (Pitt) by Kimura (video)
  
• Brad Freeman (CMU) defeated Mike Weiss (Pitt) by 11-4 (video)
  
• Andrew Moss (CMU) defeated Brian Cernic (Pitt) by 15-7 (video)
  
• Randy Jones (CMU) submitted Pat Daley (Pitt) by triangle choke (video)
  
• Brian Chin (CMU) submitted Tyson Tragon (Pitt) by armbar (video)
  
• Jared Lioi (CMU) submitted Zac Burd (Pitt) by armbar (video)
  
• Aaron Sikora (Pitt) submitted Jon Chastek (CMU) by arm triangle choke (video)
  
• Matt Snyder (CMU) submitted Simon Yeung (Pitt) by armbar (video)
  

At the end there were two superfights between the presidents of each club. Randy Jones is the president of the CMU Grappling Club, and Jimmy Cerra is the president of the Panther Grappling Club at Pitt. Randy fought for CMU because they didn't have enough people to match up against Pitt. The results of these matches were:

• No-gi: Jimmy Cerra defeated Randy Jones by 11-6 in triple overtime (video)
  
• Gi: Declared a draw after an 8 minute war (video)
  

I hope everyone had a good time. Congratulations to the CMU Grappling Club on dominating. Tough luck Randy maybe you should have paid off the ref more... ;-)
