that last match is what I am talking about, he's so excited to be excited that 30 seconds of action happens and all we know is that osu was in on the shot but hall got the take down. give me some detail man.Really. I think the guy is good. He doesn't do much analysis of the match or speaking about technique, but he calls the action well.
My favorite part about Ironside calling a matches when he gets excited and says stuff like, "common .. you gotta stay tough here" It makes it feel like you are there. The PSU guys does that also. Ironside seems much more of a wrestling expert - no doubt about that.
Crutch catching up - hall smashed him last timeHall over Crutchmer 3-2, houdinis his way out of getting taken down with short time in 3rd, and turns it into his own.
And that's with a 9-point swing at 125 with Suriano injury defaulting out. Would have been 24-7 or something like that going into 197.PSU leads 21-13 with two matches left. Will take some hometown heroics for OSU to pull off the W.
Flo sucks - they always drop the ball on big eventsGood news!!! Flo is up and running, just in time for the award ceremony.
Maybe. In my mind top guy needs to: (a) bring his opponent back to the mat, and/or (b) be working toward scoring back points. Zain was doing neither. He was clinging as tightly as he could with no aim in sight except waiting for the clock to wind down. I think it was the correct call.That stall call should have been on COllica in my mind. Retherford has a leg in an Collica stands up. Collica pulls his leg in and then stands. That official just got fooled.
Just watched this match and had a very different take. Smith got a TD and was in on several shots, including almost taking Nolf to his back. His only "embarrassment" was losing a TD in the final 5 seconds on a counter because he got sloppy and desperate. Otherwise it was 5-3. Smith is much better than an average D1 wrestler!Nolf embarrasses Smith in the 3rd, TF. OSU 13-8.
Even if not the correct call, thats how I like to see it called. A bottom guy is supposed to do anything he can to stand up and get an escape.. oh except when the top guy puts legs in, then it's stalling if you stand up.Maybe.

I think you are referring to the scuffle finals matchup last year. Nolf Teched Smith in the dual today, Joe didn't have anything in the tank, and hasn't looked himself at all this season.Just watched this match and had a very different take.

How about the love that the referees at the Iowa match and the OSU match gave to Bo Nickal? Those 30 second pins were real fast pins that should never have been awarded!Probably would've been if match took place at Penn State.
100% correct. He has to work at maintaining weight.Hall looks like a small 174lber.
Man, I really felt bad for Joe Smith . To lose that bad at OSU in front of his father had to be really, really tough. I genuinely felt for the kid.Nolf embarrasses Smith in the 3rd, TF. OSU 13-8.
A new strain of flu: Sorensonitis and Collicatis. nasty, real nasty!One month flu?![]()
That would explain it. No explanation for why I didn't notice Smith wasn't wearing the same color singlet as other OSU wrestlers or that they weren't wrestling in the same arena. Hey, I focus on the wrestling.I think you are referring to the scuffle finals matchup last year.

BTW, I blame Flo.That would explain it. No explanation for why I didn't notice Smith wasn't wearing the same color singlet as other OSU wrestlers or that they weren't wrestling in the same arena. Hey, I focus on the wrestling.

He's actually 6-0 against those two.Well, he's 2-0 against those two though.
why the holy hell was the ref not doing 5 counts?
Finally, now we can all get on the same page for team rankings. How they could look at these lineups and still have the Boys #1 till the last dual, huh?It's pretty clear PSU is the 800# gorilla in the room. I don't see any way, barring injuries, that PSU doesn't win another championship in March. Handily beat Okla St 27-13 in Stillwater, despite giving up a med fft from Suriano getting injured. Would've likely been 30-7 otherwise, against #2 Okla St.
Amazing how Cael develops all these guys who are already better than anyone else as they finish HS.
Let's hope Tom keeps getting some top recruits for Iowa and things turn around 2 years from now.
Because you get 4 points after a 4 count.
