It looked to me that Thomas raised Nico's hand. If so, then Nico has a better mind game than he. I expect a little more meanness from here on out Thomas. You need to get back to not caring about what the other boys think of you. Mush on young man! Today will be a scary day for those who venture onto the mat with you. Pain is the order of the day. Someone has got to pay!

wth are you talking about?

 

[Stanley75]

Yup

 

[pumpdog20]

Just saw the move that cost him the match, lost for words.

 

[Azchief32]

It's the move he uses near the out of bounds to throw guys out and get a restart. Nico was ready.

 

[crablegs1]

Complete brain fart with that move. Don't think I've ever seen such a complete mental mistake in that situation with such a great wrestler.

It's worked every other time that a guy is in on his legs near the edge. He did it to Klimara and host of other guys. Just didn't work out.

Gilman is every bit at good as Nico at this point obviously... I am scared of the rematch!! But for the few of you over the last few months who were saying that Gilman took a step ahead of Nico, not so fast. I actually think Gilman was the more aggressive wrestler, just like Nico was against Dance and Nato. The sequence of that match was the awesome shot Gilman took that Nico somehow did splits for 1 minute to avoid the completion. Awesome match

Gilman did his best to ruin my good feelings about him (again) in the next match when he threw his ankle colors across the mat after a victory. I did like him riling up the crowd in order to inspire himself, the fans and others from Iowa for the rest of the tourney by moving his arms to get the crowd to cheer louder, that is emotional intensity which is cool in any sport in my opinion...throwing the anklets (I believe toward the opponent you just annihilated is not)

lol..nice retort

 

[pinters]

I think you are over-exaggerating the tossing of the ankle bands.. I just rewatched it, and he was cool as a cucumber when he did it, and looked like he gave them a very small toss towards the standing ovation of Iowa fans he was looking at as a little acknowledgement. Thomas has frequently stated how much he loves the fans and how much he cares about Iowa fans. Didn't look like he was paying attention to the opponent he just annihilated at all or was trying to taunt him at all either.

I'll have to rewatch, It very well may be my bias that pushed me to that conclusion. It was an awesome moment when he riled up the crowed, That was very cool!!!

I don't think it was anything malicious on his part (like a face mush). I took it more as a sigh of relief sort of thing. That's over.....on to the next one.

 

[1stplacehawk]

Nico was more patient, and waited for a mistake. Gilman controlled the ties, won the hand fighting, and had better opportunities throughout. Sometimes shit happens

I feel very good about a rematch. It didn't really change my feelings, no matter which NCAA seed he gets, he'll have a tough semifinal match. He'll have to beat 2/3 anyways if he wants to win a title. I feel as confident in our guy as Ohio State feels about their guy, Virginia Tech feels about their guy and Penn State feels about their guy.

Not as much as I lost respect for McCutcheon when he ripped on Gravina's finger at the end of the match just to try and injure him. I assume Foley will dedicate an entire column to this.

That Is Cheap!!!

I wonder why he wasn't given a match penalty.

missed that entirely, did not watch that match...no offese, I will have to take a look before I take your word for it

 

[manmythlegend1]

that really makes no sense when crossreferenced to what I said?? I told you my initial interpretation, admitted I will need to take a relook at it admitting my potential bias showing an open minded train of thought....you sir are a Douch

You really say a lot of BS in this post..I just watched it 3 times in slow mo and do admit as he grabed for the hand he inadvertently only got ahold of 2 fingers immediately letting them go. If you wnts to pretend this was done as a malicious act by all means your prerogative...but please explain to me even 1 other instance in the 3 years Mcutch has been wrestling where he has been known to do these kinds of activities??? especially with the egregious claim he did it on purose to hurt somebody. Sad, You are a hater and understandably so, trying to infer intent into something that looks rather innocuous.. I don't think Koepke was trying to hurt McCutch..I don't think Boyd meant to grab Mcutch knee pad to hurt is ailing knee, .that talk is really idiotic unless there is clear compelling evidence.

Listen to the second official after the match. He told the had guy that Mc grabbed a finger. Also, did you see the reaction from Gravina?

oh yes, I saw gravina shake his hand and it obviously bothered him.. and yes mcutch grabbed what looked to be 2 fingers and should have gotten a tech point maybe. BUT, to say he did it to intentionally hurt gravina in anger is totally against the gazillian matches I have watched him win and lose. that is where you really lower the bar. If he had a history of these kind of things I can understand your point, but to jump to the conclusion of intentionally trying to hurt a kid from 1 incident...bad form

Question- did you wrestle? If you did have you accidentally grabbed a finger or 2 trying to tear off a grip? If you wrestle I would imagine you have and it very rarely is intentional. do you honestly think it was intentional in this case? Maybe you still do, we will leave it as agree to disagree and have enjoyed our discussion. Good Luck at Nationals...will be fun!!!

Question, do you make excuses in bunches? Man, it happened. It was noted by the officials. The video looks pretty bad. Guys on the mat know the difference. Gravina had a big issue with it. Get it.

Why are many PSU wrestlers so puffy faced?

Myth
I did wrestle and probably grabbed fingers accidently. Did you? He did it with no intent to try and score, only to injure. I have not seen a gazzillion matches like you but have refereed for many years at many levels and there was no movement from Mc to escape only grab and twist a finger. Yet you complain about TG throwing ankle bands because? (Maybe he was trying to injure the other wrestler)

I used to enjoy PSU fans posting on this board...I'm over it. GTFO!

wow, delusional...he was obviously trying to get his grip off so he could stand and escape...yes I wrestled for a long time, you are misguided in the situation

from what I saw, gravina made a face, shook his hands a few times and that was it..big deal, please

 

[manmythlegend1]

because the crazy people saying he obviously was trying to hurt him and that gravina and the refs had a huge issue with it are lying

Get your facts straight, I never said he threw the bands to try and injure someone and I even admitted that I may have misjudged his intent and want to look at it again. Wow, This board is not reading anymore, just inferring any information that fits their agenda. Good Luck with that..see you at nationals!! and I do wish you well, I am not an Iowa hater..love the rivalry!!

You need to look at the number of posts of the people you are responding to. 9 and 10 posts, etc. Newbies who are new to us here too. Most likely some PSU trolls come over here to give you a hard time.

Now undo the Caps and nobody gets hurt.....................
