I noticed the booing myself, but it is not really something most Iowa fans should bring up. I have heard the stalling shouts in Carver for years when the stalling is simply not happening. I was extremely embarrassed by the crowd in the Mizzu match last year. We came off as sore losers. Two guys right next to us were yelling all kinds of stupid things during the Miklus/Meyer match. I would say both fan bases are guilty of the pot calling the kettle black. It is much easier to find fault in others than ourselves. I guess I just consider it part of the sport. Every populat team has its share of idiots. Read both message boards and disagree.
Especially since this is an IOWA message board. They can't help themselves though.
:::Must scour the Internet for any perceived sleight against Cael, PSU, or wrestling in PA. I must defend their honor at all costs. I will espouse my opinion continuously on rivals' websites, even though said opinion is not needed or wanted. Even though my own message board has 3-4 topics involving a rival, I and others will say it's the rival that is obsessed with us. I will leave in disgust because they have not acknowledged the greatness that is Cael and PSU wrestling. I'll scurry back to my own message board to create another topic in proclamation of these heathens' actions, urging others in the holy crusade to prop up the perceived internet honor of all that is PSU.:::
yea.........mybad...........I try to have faith in the Human Race............silly me.
Evolution is a bitch when it goes so slow and so much debris that litters the runway for takeoff into higher realms.
That CV coach is a grade A db. Has two kids take a dive and then struts around. Embarrassing POS.
The slam was against the d-bag, his kid was the eye pokee. Your point is still correct. The kid who got slammed apparently failed concussion protocol. The Central Dauphin (Kenny Courts and Pepplemans' HS) coach didn't represent his school very well either . Just thought Cumberland Valley (Mike Evans' PA HS) stepped over the line in more than one way (head coach strutting, assistants taunted CD bench and fans, CV fans counting down to the injury DQ).

Obviously, there is some inappropriate behavior displayed at high school matches, and not just by the fans. With respect to the high school match referenced above, in my opinion, both coaches should be dismissed.
As far as the PSU/OSU match fan behavior, I was there and except for a few instances, the majority of the booing was to influence the officiating, which I'm certain never happens anywhere other than at Penn State. I did think booing Ryan was wrong at the time of the injury but having watched the replay, I believe he was taking a lunger. The other instance was in the Nickal match when there was no takedown at the end of the period. But in my defense, it looked like a takedown from where I was sitting. Otherwise, we can agree to disagree.
I am personally appreciative of the comments from you guys on our board especially you AZ and several others. Thanks!!
I said it on another thread...it doesn't represent all PA wrestling. I just thought it was funny because of KWood's timing on the "you don't see it at high school meets in PA, right?"
I am listening to FRL right now and Christian Pyles said he was sitting real close and saw their heads hit in the Nolf match. I can guarantee that we would have initially booed if we thought it was a lunger. I sure as hell would have.
The crowd did clap when Ryan got up. The timing on the high school meets could not have been better, or worse depending on your perspective. Having coached high school in PA, I can tell you our administration would have had me drawn and quartered before I got to the bus.
Central Dauphin coach was suspended for the 1st round of states which took place last night. Not suspended for subsequent rounds which start on Thursday in Hershey. CV coach out for the Hershey rounds (they had a bye in last night's round).
