I know these have been discussed, but felt it deserved its' own thread.
I rewatched the match today.
I wasn't outraged by these. Starocci was smart in his approach. the first stall came with :4 ...

I thought Davison had an outstanding tournament but for the finals. Gomez wrestled very well but lives and dies by the big move. That cement mixer in the finals was the wrong move at the wrong time. H ...

Casey-
You are correct as to as to year.
Just referencing the finals year in which the Hi flyer from the mat was used.
I see it play out year after year. A high finish leads to disaster; whe ...

Myles was excellent his senior year but did not account for Bo's trickery.
Jesse's match was karmic repayment for the Bo v Myles final match.
Always finish low!!!

It kind of goes with my trajectory theory of wrestling.
You need to develop the right tools and skills from a young age and then have that augmented when you jump levels.
If there things that ge ...

ok fair enough; I agree with those points.
That being said and speaking objectively; I think Truax was the same wrestler as a year ago and Nagao was less.

I find it interesting that Nagao and Truax did not improve upon their finishes from a year ago.
It seemed plausible that both would improve and be in the hunt for titles this year.
Not even cl ...

Also, regular season is just a primer for NCAAs and conference championship. Those are just matches to see where you are at and chart your improvement so that you can definitively peak at the Champion ...

Some thoughts on Hamiti; he's really good and wasn't prepared as well as he could've been for Big Tens and NCAAs.
When you only have two wrestlers (Barnett and Hamiti) with high likelihood of placi ...

I was impressed with Bartlett too as his outward expression after getting taken down went from dam to aw shucks I screwed up and was not a Brandsesque running off the mat tantrum styler. Rather he was ...

I don't agree with them.
#3 Referee worked some home duals for PSU. I recognize him and remember thinking some his calls were homer. Probably the OSU dual with Kilkeary.
I think he favored Mess ...

Regarding Bartlet and Jesse;
I think they go back and forth.
Both of their wrestling has changed since the first time they met.
Beau felt the squeeze. Short time and a hurried finish. It happ ...

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 ...

I've always believed that guys that are seeded higher are given preferential treatment when it comes to subjective interpretation. Last night further solidifies this thought.

One other very important point.
Of the most productive young wrestlers in the past two years.
Winning overtime matches is paramount to success.
That's about discipline and position.
