Stalling

[EWCEWC60]

Zero offensive points scored, the other guys are stalling.

I would say repeat it often enough and it will seem truthful, except you guys are already there.

Again just to reiterate, Three NCAA finalists, zero offensive points scored and it's all because the other guys are stalling.

That is a BS defense for not stalling!

Iowa guys score ZERO points = Penn State guys are NOT stalling?

Gillman scored 0 Points therefore MegaStall was not stalling? Did you not watch the match?

Iowa finalists not scoring does not = Penn State Finalists not Stalling

I think we understand that our guys did not score points and that we need to work on offense. But we also understand that Penn State guys are coached to stall in matches. Run, run away and back away or ride the edge or ride hips parallel and try to make it look like you are trying to improve your position.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

I would say it is much better than the push, push, shove, shove stall tactics while never looking for shot that a certain team implores. At least they are scoring points in the first two periods instead of waiting for the refs to score the points for you in the third.

Can't remember ....will have to go back and watch again. But did Mac score any offensive points against Cox?

I think Mac up against Cox would be a comparable of Clark against Garrett. At least Clark was out there getting into it and trying to get his ties and do what he does. Mac did a lot of "shadow wrestling".

These were the Finals. The top two kids in each weight class. And you want to use that as an argument for offensive points scored.

Maybe try total offensive points scored thru the whole Tournament and you might get a more true representation of the wrestlers.

Just a thought.

There was one takedown the entire match. Both guys tried numerous times. Both are great wrestlers.

If you are referring to my post about Cox and Mac. Then, yes, both are great wrestlers.

But NO, there were NOT numerous shots taken. Unless you consider anything over 1 as numerous.

 

[Hotshoe]

Cox shot more, however, Mac did shoot, just not as much as he is not as fast. He really had no choice but to keep it close. Cox is on that free athletic level.

Penn State is the best team in college wrestling. By far. That being said, stall calls in their matches have been hugely weighted in their favor. It's been ridiculous. Megaludis runs from Gilman from a minute and a half before he gets stalling called against him. Martinez gets called for stalling literally 20 seconds after almost getting a takedown. Then, Martin gets called for stalling twice and two points in the last 25 minutes of the match. Refs continue to be a problem.

Again, penn state is the best team and the above wouldn't have changed that. The inconsistency is just frustrating when watching individual matches.

Martin ran for the final 1:30 of his finals match against Nickal.

NIckal stalled the first period and half against Jackson.

You lose credibility when you post stuff like that. Jackson is a difficult matchup for Bo height-wise, and so he wasn't his usual kamikazi self, but make no mistake, stalling is not in his vocabulary.

NIckal stalled the first period and half against Jackson.

That is a rediculous statement. Bo if anything is an attacker by nature. If you actually watch the match, he made many attempts. No one, and I mean no one would call Bo a non-attacker. Come on, get real. That's exactly why he lost. He could have coasted after he was up 4-2. I have never seen anyone call Bo a staller. You cannot have as many bonus points and pins if you're stalling. Everyone knows that, if indeed they are honest.

You responded to champions 90th post. And he has been a proud member of this site for a little over a month. Yes........... I said a MONTH.

I think he just sucker-punched you. He might even be from your own board over here having fun.

Why you guys come over here and take the bait from posters that aren't here regularly I'll never know. You are so gullible.

And then you get all upset when somebody posts something crazy. It's almost as much fun watching you get hooked as watching the trolls lay their lines out.

 

[Hotshoe]

Sorry, but I have to say, not upset whatsoever. Everyone knows, Bo don't ever stall. I never rip boards. I simply love sports and will never rip another athlete.
