Man, I would have paid good money to see Greg Martin's face as that was happening.
Newsflash - he's not getting closer to Bo.

Nickal's pin over Martin
- Thread starter Chickenman Testa
- Start date
From that BTN+ camera angle it looked like he was going to slip it. Nice to be wrong yet again ;-)
"Myles, can you give me a light bulb count while you're down there?!"
Look at the fed up Iowa fan in the background throw up his hands ("c'mon, another pin?!")
Love the reaction of the Iowa guy in the background..
"Fed up" is right, he's clearly on a first name basis with the KFC drive through attendant.

I believe Myle's dad reported that they were High Pressure Sodium lights
Mr. Martin last heard screaming, "Awful, average officiating, that's a 'stall-mate', not a 'pin fall'!!!!".
Dang themat.com forums are down so I went to post here and my handle BigTimeFan was already taken!
Go Penn State Wrestling!
It's really unbelievable that Myles' dad can act like such a douche (note to board: I am not saying he is always a douche; I am not saying that he's not a good dad; I am not saying he is not a likable human being). I've seen his commentary on message boards about Myles' losses to Mark Hall and all his complaints about officiating and so on. He needs to let his kid live his life and wrestle his game or the kids may one day implode.

Looked like he muttered "average official" under his breath.
Some other interesting reactions from the Nolf-Cooper semifinal match. I was listening to the BTN2Go broadcast, which has a microphone at the scorer's table:
After Nolf's third 1st period TD, a trip where Cooper fell hard to the mat:
Guy - "Oh man oh man, this guy is something."
Girl - "He wasn't ready ... our guy."
At start of 3rd period (with score like 15-3 for Nolf) Cooper gets Nolf's leg and pushes him to the mat. Looks like a sure TD for Cooper, and the crowd gets excited. On the way down, Nolf grabs a leg, turns it into a scramble, and somehow comes out with the TD. A pretty amazing sequence by Nolf:
Guy 1 (very disappointed tone) - "Oh, he dove in on his legs."
Guy 1 (as Nolf wins the scramble) - "Look at this. Unbelievable."
Guy 1 (after Nolf secures the TD)- "I think he has his number one (indiscernible).
Guy 2 - "Yes, he is."
Guy 2 (after pause) - "He's good."
I found those reactions most enjoyable.

The best part was when he realized he was going over, and his feet started flailing like a fish out of water.
It's that moment when you realize you're not as great as everyone has been telling you that you are. Classic.

this was good to see. mr. martin will have to come up with something fantastical for this i.e. the ref actually helped hold his son's shoulders to the mat and was obviously in the pay of cael.
Didn't his dad imply a level of prejudice with the PSU program? And said that after speaking with Ed Ruth's Mom, they decided PSU wasn't a good option for them? Or something to that affect.
Let's put the "prejudice" rumor to bed. He later said that he didn't mean to imply anything of the sort, that they simply felt more comfortable at Ohio State. IIRC the racial composition of Ohio State's team was a factor, but there was no implication that Penn State's demographics were more than how things turned out.
