Wrestling and college wrestling thread

Never a fan of riding time deciding it but Starocci deserved it

 

Winning via riding time is done

 

Lewis is a really good wrestler, but he needed more shots. He didn't make a shot after the first period.

 

my HS coach had an idea I always thought was good. If you’re going to do a ride out, 1st guy gets 30 seconds. If he gets out, the 2nd guy gets that amount of time to beat it.

example. First guy gets out in 15 seconds. 2nd guy gets 15 seconds on the clock. He beats it, he wins, doesn’t, he loses

 

Ride outs are dumb though. Encourages stalling from guy on top

 

So when Lewis went down he knows clock runs out in :06?

 

yes. I don’t like ride out in general, but if you’re going to do it, at least make it better than what it is imo

 

that stall call he had screwed him in the rideout

 

They don’t call top stalling enough in college. You’ll see a lot of parallel riding and sometimes with boots in. The ref will hit the bottom guy for stalling more often like he can do anything in that situation

 

His stalling screwed him

 

yup. Just hate rideouts. It’s get to play your feet, then the top guy running you out of bounds...repeat

 

Again, Cormier is the worst, and whoever had him join the broadcast team should be fired.

 

It’s been a while since I’ve watched HS, but I remember the refs being quick to hit top guys for riding parallel

 

Its beyond bad

 

Like the 8th out of bounds, refs make this shit unwatchable

 

Hell of a job riding for Brooks

 

Embarrassing by Amine and the refs

 

wondering why you think this?

There's no better combination of wrestling + broadcasting credentials on the planet.

 

Have you felt like he’s added anything to the broadcast?

 

Amine is a piece of shit, and Brooks destroyed him. Fuck that guy

 

He doesn't even know the rules?

 

That wasn’t even a match. Amine got absolutely dominated.

 

what makes him a pos?

 

I can’t imagine being in college for a 7th year. Sounds miserable. At least the football/bball players are getting full rides to make it worthwhile

 

That shit he pulled at the end of the match.

 

Yeah I was like “wtf is he doing”

 

Someone having to take the fight to an Iowa wrestler? Color me shocked

 

No wonder Iowa doesn’t show any offense if that’s their attempt

 

Great example of why Cormier sucks, Warner took 0 shots all match, attempted 0 shots all match, and he was whining that Dean should have been rung up for stalling.

Total clown.

 

Reveling in the complete collapse of Iowa wrestling.

 

My wife is eating this shit up. She loves them running to the family after wins

 

“If Spencer Lee was healthy it could’ve been different” - Cormier

 

Wait, is 131.5 points good? Asking for Cormier.

 

What a contrast in intro music, kill him Gable

 

My wife actually remembers Gable Steveson from last year because the back flip

 

Schultz looks like the fat kid you picked on in high school gym class

 

Don’t find Cormier any worse than John Smith at this who despite being arguably the goat doesn’t seem to know what a takedown is half the time

 

Gable being this athletic will never cease to amaze me

 

He’s going to kill in WWE but it’s a shame seeing him hang it up

 

What an absolute monster

 

Jesus

 

#Bucs is this kid any good? Guessing a room guy?

 

If he couldn't crack our lineup, then he's probably not even on scholarship at PSU.

 

Don’t know much about him but recall him getting teched 16-0 by MSU kid who I’m not sure won a match at NCAAs

 

Enis estimation says he sucks

 

Howard's and RYB's new room guy. Supposedly, he will drop down to 125 to provide depth at PSU. At best, 3rd guy in at 125 or 133.

 

for perspective, I coach football at a D3 here in PA our wrestling HC made him a priority portal kid, pretty sure he was with our coaches youth program. We were selling The success matt Lackman had for us after transferring in from Clarion.
