Anybody watching this one? Chertow strikes me as the Tony Romo of wrestling announcing. Talking constantly throughout the match, actually using wrestling terminology and telling us the names of moves. I find it such a great upgrade from Gibbons earlier, great energy. Even Sparks can't get too many words in!

Max Murin cries after losing late to Carr. What is this - figure skating?
Strange bout. Don’t understand how Murin got the takedown.
Hopefully there's an Iowa co-ed watching the match in her dorm loving Murin's vulnerability.
Neutral back exposure but the ref only signaled a one count. While he was probably exposed for a two count (or longer?), that was a bad call without a referee’s count.
I should have said I don’t know how you can call exposure when you only counted to one. That would be like calling a guy for hanging on an ankle without letting him know your counting.
Did Chertow just call Iowa "Transfer U"? Ouch
BRANDS MADE HIM HATE THE SPORT !!!!
A few very HR-style comments sprinkled in here. Someday, when he’s not a teenager busting his butt for his sport, maybe Murin will spend Friday nights on a fan forum like we are. Until then, seems like picking on his emotional reaction is harsh. First Iowa wrestler’s reaction to a match I’ve liked all season.
I’m sure everybody here will agree, some tears are okay. I guess for some, it’s only if you won.

whats with all these Illini guys busting on the iowa wrestlers and coaches....its almost like people enjoy giving it back to them

The Murin takedown was a three count neutral danger zone.
Just my thought on that review call, but if it is so close it takes you a minute or two looking at it multiple times to determine if there was a three count then it isn't definitive enough to change the call. Second, a good ref would be counting as he was moving into position if he can tell there is exposure which there was. Not a high quality moment for official.

That'll be a great comparison -- once Murin breaks his neck, has the coaches tell him to retire, defies them and reaches the podium.
Chances are none of those things will happen.
My problem with it was he only swiped once. The ref needs to count so the wrestler in danger knows he needs to improve his position.
obviousy the ref didn't count it else the review wouldn't have been needed. Would like to know the factual details (what the ref's say) as this opens replay for 'counts', no?
One guy cries after reaching his ultimate goal after 6 years of injury and frustration - a mere 3 months after thinking his career was over.
The other guy cries for blowing a match that was all but handed to him in late January in front of about 200 people. This after juvenile outbursts in several other matches this year
Apples and oranges
Does that make Illinois apples?
LP's gif game remains strong despite being rattled by our lightweights.
If I'm remembering right, Carr sat up as soon as he was notified the ref was counting. I can't figure out how they awarded that TD.
That is why I said a good official would be counting as he is moving into better position.
However, assuming it takes 3 or 4 seconds for the ref to recognize what is going on and once the lightbulb goes off he counts and swipes twice I would be much more accepting of a review correction. The one would be obvious, not requiring a couple minutes to determine. As far as the kid needing to know he is in trouble, Carr knew.
He could have been, but I will bet you a dollar he counted one with the first swipe
Illinois HWT is unranked so guess who goes tonight?
Sunday, vs a ranked Jennings, who wants to bet he's a no-show?

The heavyweight match is painful to watch
Push, push, push.
After watching Cassar, Stevenson and Parris then watching a big athletic dude do nothing from neutral but push, push and push. Yuk

What I was saying he probably did count aloud, but just "one" to coincide with his one swipe.
He obviously wasn't counting anything while moving into position.
So all you guys can bitch about is Murin crying..Why no bitching about the way the Ill guy made fun of it.? If Desanto does that to some one holy crap you all would want him dq and miss some matches..Nice you can really hate us that much when you beat us all the time right now. When Gable was wining every one hated us and all we would say thats ok as long as we win.
Comparing Desantos actions to Carr’s is amusing.
I have no problem with a young man showing his emotions. He lost. He cares.....deeply. Good for him. The fact that he is a Pa. guy who wrestled 20 miles from my house has no bearing on my opinion. None
I saw way too much preening, showboating, and taunting of opposing coaches for my taste.
I don't think anyone was "bitching" about him crying. Heck a good number of HR posters were commenting on him crying. Have to admit you don't see that everyday in wrestling.
Bitch about it? That was hilarious. Reminded me of the bully from “Christmas Story” asking Ralphie if he was gonna cry..
Did Kid Kamura snap anyone’s arm today ?? Oh ... he was benched.
Stop ducking tOSU, Michigan & PSU.
So, your fan base is sensitive, too.
That hurts my feelings. I'm going to go sit with Murin and cry about it once I'm done beating this mat up.
