Purdue pbp- Let's get Real.

Weird Match from Brody.
Both good riders and Brody choses neutral and Norris (PU) chose bottom. Bad tactical choice.

Brody didn't want to go neutral. He made the wrong signal and then the ref wouldn't let him change it

Disagree. At some point you are going to have to ride guys out vs cut and release which has been Nelson's M.O. He is not that dominant on his feet to be able to do that to the solid to very good dudes.

I will actually disagree with this. Nelson wants his MO to be cut and release, but he's been struggling with that. This was the perfect match it do it, but he shut it down in the 2nd and removed any chance at a major.
Another TD or 2 in the second and he's pushing for it. But without that, no option but to ride the 3rd and lock up the win.
He cuts him in the 3rd without a bigger lead and it's a one TD match late - and that's what screwed him Friday night.

TnT can coach some big time college wrestling. Go Hawks.

Once again, Valholl punches his (eventual) ticket to Valhalla!

A+ for this ref. He is decisive, his counts are on time deliberate and calls stalling like you should. Make him head official and let him whip the rest into shape.

 

[MVPFAN]

Would think chittum 49; riggers 57

Riggins isn't going to be 157.

Agreed. Liked that he was articulate and on top of things without inserting himself into any of the matches. Loved that he was actually making warranted stall calls

Great interview with Spencer. Impossible not to love this guy. If he comes to coach at Iowa after his international career is over, what blue chipper in the country isn't going to want to come wrestle for him?

 

[choosenuetral]

Thanks Vall. I’ll mail you a Flobee so you don’t have any distractions next time.

Wife said it was Sumner. Didn’t to drive Fkrsbg just down the block to get the wifi to work. Idled my car to keep warm.

 

[moug]

He's not the guy you want to see if your tank is small.

The guy Friday was gassed with half the 1st period left. That was worse than Desanto v Decatur

 

[dtripp26]

I think we’ll be alright at 49 next year with Rathjen there. Kid is a fighter

He may need to beef up if Chitt wants that 149 spot

... Nelson wants his MO to be cut and release, ...

Nelson (Brands) cut and release. In the same sentence? Uhmmm, interesting reasoning.

 

[Chuck C]

Any video of Spencer's match?

And? What's so interesting about what I said?

('... Nelson cut and release...'). The concept, the cognitive dissonance it creates.

Agreed. That's why I said riding him through the 3rd was a done deal because he didn't do diddly shit in the 2nd.

Thanks!

I never thought I’d see Spencer tossed to his back like that. Ramos has my respect, he’s dangerous as hell. Awesome wrestling there by both guys.

I'm curious, when was the last time he was thrown from his feet to his back in folk style?

I would guess never. Fix hit an inside trip on him during the cadet trials. This is the only time I can recall any upper body initiated move working on him.

Double down on the other. Move em up

I was expecting a lot of TD's when they announced his opponent bumped up for the meet. Nelson won't pull the trigger for some reason.
