First period stalling calls against Rocco v Starocci
Ben Golden
March 28, 2024

I like something about your no-stalling dual, Jim. I think the presence of a stall call is lazy rule making. It’s like “we have a problem with inactivity here and we don’t know what to do about ...

I think... they seem like more or less the same wrestlers they were last year: Capable of beating good wrestlers, but not consistently. Consistency is a higher level of excellence. They don't have ...

I don’t get the ROI for the school or program.

So UM gets a team trophy. Cool. Did it gain revenue? Lead to a recruiting advantage?

This will right size because these NIL deals are backed by ...

Rumor on Iowa boards is

I think Bo may be the best recruit since David Taylor.

This is a tangent to off topic, but... Gable Steveson has to be the best recruit coming out of high school ever, right? Guy never lost in hi ...

Stall calls in Carr v Messenbrink Match
Ben Golden
March 25, 2024

Honestly it could've been the difference in the match anyway. Carr was a lot closer to stalling in the closing seconds of the match than he was when it was actually called earlier. Had the ref calle ...

Where Does Mendez Title Rank?
Ben Golden
March 25, 2024

All the Buckeye titles are so sweet. Especially the first for any given wrestler.

The Stieber/JO one probably ranks highest for me.

One I haven't seen mentioned here is Tomasello's, probably be ...

I re-watched Carr-Mesenbrink last night. Those first two stall calls were pure garbage. The third may have met 5 second count for not returning to mat.

Another thing... I think the Carr/O'Toole rivalry is the best rivalry I've seen in wrestling, since I started following around 2007.

A back-and-forth balanced rivalry, a lot of high level wrestli ...

Congrats on a fantastic career! This guy had an exception career in some very tough brackets...

I'm stricken by what a complete wrestler he is. He can consistently escape from truly elite riders ...

Hank-

I disagree. His knee was still compromised and no one at the weight tested it. You heard Jordan Burroughs say he would go after it, and he would if the match was in question. Yesterday the ma ...

The stall calls on Carr were maddening. Very glad to see him win it.

I wonder what he thinks in hindsight about committing to so many mat returns in the first period. That cost him a ton of ene ...

Was very pleased to see David Carr win last night. He and O'Toole both seem like fantastic individuals. Their rivalry has been a true, balanced, certainly painful rivalry. At this point, it's cost ...

I was a bit bewildered watching Lewis and Griffith wrestle Starocci. Neither made any attacks at all to capitalize on the champ’s wounded leg. Not a single first period attack from either. I don’ ...

It really is sad. As others have mentioned, NDC was a marvel for a period of time... consistently getting GOOD D1 talent as a NAIA/D2 school, and as a brand new school.

Very unique story arc whe ...
