Wow. Carter.

 

[mcpat]

Overlooked:

MM has struggled a little on bottom and needs some work on it. He chose bottom and got out immediately against a highly ranked returning AA.

Anyone following Arnold’s Twitter account during this match?

 

[RB-Old]

Weird call there

 

[raslen007]

Carter fading.

 

[RB-Old]

Starocci looks a little tired here.

 

[js8793]

horrific pd call. don’t think the locked hands was right either.

 

[PSU_Pride_93]

carter seems gassed and that’s saying something

 

[mcpat]

Starocci looks a little tired here.

last week too. Not what I’ve seen previously 3.5 years. Something’s up

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Give the guy with 13 points a stalling call. Silly.

 

[zzs006]

Carter looking tired. What’s up with that. 2 matches in a row now

 

[McScoreley]

Carter I think is still battling lingering effects of his illness

 

[RB-Old]

How good do you have to be to not be at the top of your game and bonus a top ten kid on the road at CHA?

 

[El-Jefe]

Give the guy with 14 points a stalling call. Silly.

He was stalling,

What's silly is the idea that a wrestler somehow earned the right to not be called for stalling, because of what he did earlier in the match.

Chris Fleeger to Iowa fan:

“Ty Dugdale loved my time in carver. Scored 17 and 18. Majoring and teching 2 ncaa runnerups. Was super fun.”

He's going to benefit from the week off between B1Gs and nationals.

 

[PSUcup1]

Is this ref for real

Jesus

One guy scored 14 points. Gives up a stall point.

One guy wrestles an entire match from neutral on one knee. Gives up 1 stall point

 

[PAHURDLER]

Give the guy with 14 points a stalling call. Silly.

The calls were appropriate at the time.

 

[Rhino80]

Been sick, he'll be fine

 

[JOESTROSSER]

he definitely tired. lack of matches? He did just major #7, LOL. I credit Kennedy. He's been looking good recently.

 

[Sett1997]

I like the action, this ref is inserting himself too much though.

 

[knickslions]

Keep pounding them

 

[Psugo823]

Carver now cheering to avoid majors

 

[mcpat]

Two consecutive matches that Carter faded a bit, after missing two matches, and never fading before in 3.5 years. To the contrary, being the guy winning big matches against top guys late. Obviously still not 100%, whatever it is.

 

[McScoreley]

Iowa fans can take "Gassed Carter while losing by major decision" as a win today

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Carter looking tired. What’s up with that. 2 matches in a row now

He sat out the weekend while sick a few weeks ago

 

[a_mshaffer]

Jim Gibbons was really impressed and complementary of Levi's technique during that match.

he really hated saying it... at least it seemed that way... but such an obvious statement(s)

 

[Sett1997]

Carter I think is still battling lingering effects of his illness

That's our excuse, don't even go there.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Give the guy with 13 points a stalling call. Silly.

Not really. Starocci was stalling at the end.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Score please

 

[ss7]

I like the action, this ref is inserting himself too much though.

If we want refs to call stalling more often, this is what is going to happen.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Score please

18-6

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

I understand, but I just find it silly that the guy who worked his ass off, can theoretically be DQed for multiple calls.

Also, why are you always so combative. I think you seem smart and well intentioned, but always so combative.

 

[SlipperyPete12]

Score please

13-5 Starocci with the Major

18-6 Team Score

 

[Sett1997]

Wasn't about stalling, he's calling stalemate a little too early sometimes.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

horrific pd call. don’t think the locked hands was right either.

Kennedy had Carter's wrist and pushed Carter's hand down onto his arm. Carter's hand touching his arm is not a Technical Violation - Locked Hands.

 

[mcpat]

All we’re missing is a little kid yelling “We Are!”

 

[psualt]

Stalling on Truax. That’s wild.

 

[zzs006]

What?!?! Stall on Truax. Said look to score? What has he been doing?
