Seriously. The only time for that is during a stoppage.
We had one coach would yell stuff out at an inconsequential point in a match. If the guy reacted, he got a talking to on the bench -- because that meant he wasn't focused on the opponent.

the iPhone app i alot less flexible than the GoPSU link. Same is true even for archived stuff like radio show.
VJ wasn’t close to scoring either, it was a 2-0 match, I’d say the gap is where it was, with VJ better.
I saw the second ref make the signal, motioning to the lead ref, who then made the official call. The video was from an angle they couldn't see, so it appeared the lead ref then went to the second ref to make sure he saw it. Then the call was finally made, as you noted. Anyone see it differently.

You seem to mention Rutgers a lot ...I thought this was a PSU board...
All 2 of them.The streak of Bo pinning every Iowa wrestler he's ever faced is still going though
The only major on the whole team and you were unimpressed. Sure he wasnt a top ten foe but I loved what RBY had to show today.
I think we are all getting spoiled. Too many duals early in the year against overmatched competition. Now that we are walking through the Big10, the kids are tougher and the coaching much better. It's no secret we have looked somewhat lack luster the past two duals. The kid's are good and being well coached to slow it down, don't make mistakes, and keep it close. A bit frustrating to watch, but hey it works, and worked for Hall vs Valencia too.
I thought the ref sucked today as well. Very inconsistent and slow on stall calls. Three blatant fleeing the mats within two minutes and he did nothing. It hurts when the ref won't force the action.
High school and college after a few years? One of which white spent not in div 1
Nobody is questioning VJ is better but this match compared to their match last year I did see some widening of the gap. White will always be a tough match for VJ but the kid has shown in college he knows how to get his hand raised
Sometime it takes them a few hours to post them. Do a search later tonight on "Penn state vs nebraska" select videos and then filter on most recent.
Then again they sometimes pop up on you tube as well until Flo finds out and had them removed.
Nebraska came in with a game plan of hand fighting and keeping matches close. Was impressed with a couple of Nebraska's wrestlers who at least wrestled like they wanted to win instead of the others who were wrestling to not get beat too bad.
Agreed on the refs who called out of bounds when one of our wrestlers foot was within the circle. WTF
Three falls all in the 1st period, grand total of 2:40
2\10\18 Bowman Fall :50
3\16\17 Brooks Fall 1:02
1\20\17 Brooks Fall :38
So in less time than 1 period, Bo has manhandled Hawks wrestlers three times.
You said every Hawk wrestler, he’s only faced 2 different Hawks. If he faces Warner, he will probably be the 3rd based on how Warner has looked so far this year.
Yeah, i don't see it on Flo yet. It is available on BTN+, if you happen to subscribe to that.
Opponents foot was off the mat, and on the wood surface. That call was correct.
You can go with that but in a nod to my old statistics professor I am just going to say 3rd and 4th match are within the standard error and no change in the gap. I say they are very close with slight edge to cenzo
Confidence builders for who? The fans?
It was germane. Deal with it. Rutgers fans should have a lot more to worry about than what I post.
Hats off to PSU and Nebraska for braving these weather conditions to provide me some great entertainment today! And kuddos to all the fans that trudged their way to Rec Hall.
Some misc observations.
Scoring — Despite the low scoring I didn’t have the sense that any match was ever in serious doubt.
Lee — I think this is an important win for Nick, particularly given his history with Redd and coming off a loss. Redd is a great wrestler when he’s “on.”
Nolf — hard to process how one guy can be so much better than his closest competitors at this elite level.
VJ — Another important win in my book. White is arguably the guy with the best shot at an upset vs VJ. Plus, the first match back after illness or injury can be tough — conditioning, timing, confidence, etc can be off. Cenzo showed that a healthy, injury-free version of himself will own this weight.
Manville — Looked very impressive against a guy who appeared to be much more than 2 weight classes bigger.
Cassar — proves again that most heavies will struggle with his pace and conditioning, even after spotting them a relatively inactive first period.

Or maybe finishing 5th last year and dominating his early matches with bonus points was the reason?
I suspect the easy wins early didn't help him. It allowed him to do what he's best at without needing to adjust. He's not a one trick pony, but has become one a bit. He'll still see Kanen Storr, Michael Carr and Joey McKenna before the conference tourney. I think we'll see adjustments.
All that said, there is a dynamic with him and Red. Today went almost exactly as I expected, though I thought Red would have a little more fight in him offensively. I'm looking forward to seeing him head back to Indiana and dominate next weekend, hoping we see a little variety in his attacks.
Anybody know where to find the video of Joseph warming up for his match by doing the electric slide behind the bleachers? I saw it somewhere today and wanted to forward it but I cannot find it now. Edit...my wife said it is the cha cha slide .
.I agree and I'm wondering why everyone is up in arms. Come March in the quarters and semis there isn't going to be a lot of pins. Competition gets tough .Our kids grinding them out now is not an issue .if it's a pattern then it's an issue. Chenzo just coming back doesn't bother me. If he starts wrestling like this all the time then yes I worry. But that isn't happening with our guys with the exception of Lee, Hall and Berge who have styles that aren't going to blow you out as long as they active and going after it I don't care if they win by two or three .I think we are spoiled. I'm expecting a pin from every kid every time. That's not reality Cael will have them ready to get it out come March I have no doubt. In the mean time I'm going to enjoy the ride and be grateful to watch a team like this with a coach like this and a future like this WE ARE
Sports dynasties are easy to hate, not only because of all the winning, but because their fans can become obnoxious. One way this obnoxiousness manifests is expecting as if it's their divine right to absolutely blow out every opponent. I don't think PSU fans are at this point...yet. It is a risk, though.
The antidote is truly appreciating every time these incredible athletes take the mat and being grateful that we are so fortunate to be PSU fans at this time.
WE ARE!!!

No, we’d say our guy gotten ridden like a rented mule and needs to work on getting out from bottom. So let’s be honest, Cenzo put on a tough ride and White got ridden like a rented mule. It’s OK to be honest. Stop making stuff up to attempt to prove a point.

Could have been (3) if TNT would have come visited. Can you please ask them nicely for us and maybe they will show up
Just rewatched the match. Cenzo didn’t make 1 attempt to try to turn White. He threw his leg in for a 2 min parallel ride. Not his usual style but it worked and he won.
I would ask the Big 10 powers that be why this dual doesn’t happen every year. If they would just schedule it nobody would have to blame coaches. And I did state Nickal would most likely pin Warner earlier in this thread.Could have been (3) if TNT would have come visited. Can you please ask them nicely for us and maybe they will show up
