didn't Beau get one? If he was stalling to not be on the edge, and still trying to present himself, then backing to th edge needs to be an automatic. Simply saying if Beau was stalling, then that should be the bar. Again, going off memory that he was hit once
Great comedic actor. Hard to believe that he was an ophthalmologist, and still is!
Next time they meet Ayala and Davis meet, Davis should go down on a knee also. So they are just kneeling while facing each other with no one doing anything. Ref has to start calling stalling earlier then. Then the match can start
one of the least talked about officiating inconsistencies is the way different guys call pins. that should be the easiest, most consistent call in the sport.
Very strange how the play by play guy describes the action. He calls much of the action like he is watching a video of himself wrestling. Here some examples from the Haines-Franek match: "Haines snaps us into a front headlock", "Tries to elevate our leg", "Flattens us back down". Really bizarre listening to it.
We are humbled and grateful for your comments fellow wrestling brother in arms.
i thought it was a chicken %&#% call, too. it's tough to turn 184 lb. lump turtled up flat on the mat, but he was trying.
man iowa sure does like to grab the fingers and hold on for dear life after 1 warning these guys should be hit for stalling but all the refs do is talk!
I think that was the worst call of the night and there were a lot of bad ones. Truax had been working his ass off to turn Riggins. Pretty much 2 straight minutes of bar and half to legs to claw and then he gets hit for stalling and you can hear the ref tell him he needs to work to score?! What the **** was the ref watching because it wasn’t the match
It was a joke that he didn't hit him sooner. Going to one knee is no different than backing out of bounds, you're stopping your opponent from being able to engage.
LOL what a joke this writer is,if I hit the lotto I would be a millionaire iowa had no chance and tom knew it, by the way PSU has lots of young guys as well and you aren't beating them!If Iowa wrestling's veterans can bounce back, the Hawkeyes are capable of reaching goals

- “125-pound sophomore Drake Ayala opened this dual with a fairly dominant win over Braeden Davis.”
- “149-pound sophomore Caleb Rathjen ignited the crowd with a huge win. He was dominant through the majority of regulation”
- “Iowa was within striking distance with winnable matches left.“
- “if you get one or two of the veterans to come through and have Arnold in this lineup, things could have turned in a different direction for Iowa.”
Their sports writers are as delusional as their fanbase.
LOL what do you mean still?he is doing a great job for first yr!
Ok now I remember one. It was against Massa during the PSU/Mich dual. There's a couple others. I know he's been sick but with Carter I think its every year he's not at Peak conditioning until March. More than the others.
This guy can spell, refrain from using caps lock and exclamation points, and put words together in a way that you can appreciate how stupid he is without having to read it twice. Without those subtle differences I would have thought thebird wrote this.If Iowa wrestling's veterans can bounce back, the Hawkeyes are capable of reaching goals

Let's play "Finish the Sentence. "
Future bets between the boards.
Jimmy's down!!!!!Jimmy is really sweet on Elaine.
I heard that too. Although I took "his guys" to mean the guys he coached that are now Iowa coaches.
I didn't take it that way because Gibbons then proceeded to recount what Gable said the wrestlers need to do.
Really? Wiki says he was born in Detroit and raised in NC.
he was pulling the knee out, but no more than you typically see in that position. i don’t think he was going to get the cradle, but he was 100% going to score because franek was bailing when the whistle came.
