So what is your point? What do you think wrestling fans should be more interested in and discussing on a wrestling forum?

Pointing out facts such as age difference, and the different weights where the wrestlers have achieved success in the past is totally relevant in analyzing why David Taylor was dominated. So is the fact that David Taylor is the head coach of OSU and may not be 100% dedicated to training. There is absolutely nothing wrong with fans discussing why they think a loss occurred, even if the reason can be labeled as an "excuse." The only people who should not be allowed to make such observations are those who state and believe that "excuses are for wusses." I, for one, as a fan believe it is totally appropriate to discuss how injuries, failure to properly train, or decline in skills due to age may have effected an athlete's performance.

I haven't seen anyone saying David Taylor should have won that match. It was clear who the better wrestler was. I just don't understand what you think people should be interested in talking about.

Why do any of that when you can be the righteous voice of reason instead?

Some Marcus Blaze facts taken from an Ohio State board:


" 1) He has bonus points in every D1 state match he has wrestled.
2) He has never lost to an Ohio opponent
3) He has never given up an offensive point, in his entire IN SEASON high school career. Not even in his two losses. He lost on escapes and a penalty point.
4) Fargo Champ over a field that included other world champs Bassett and Raney, current #1 national ranked Knox, and #1 Jax Forrest.
5) Cadet World Champion
6) Olympic team member (top 3 at trials)
7) Junior World Team - Bronze
8 Senior WTT Finalist
9) Beat 3 former D1 NCAA Champs and 2 other NCAA finalists
10) in the same calendar year, beat #1 ranked Lilledahl, #1 ranked Knox, and #1 ranked Forrest."

Football Penn State opens as 4.5-point underdogs versus Ohio State

Would that be the great defensive performance against a team that scored a whopping 7 points against Indiana? I’m sure that the best college football team money can buy will bring their A game Saturday against Penn State but come on man.

They were criticized for not having any sacks against Oregon, and turned that around against nebraska. I don't care who you're playing if you have 13 tackles for a loss it is a good game for the defense.

Last week, the defense finally stepped up and had 13 tackles for a loss. JT Tumalaoa has been above average but has generally not lived up to the hype at defensive end although he had a tackle for a loss last week. Sawyer has been consistently good and will probably be a late first round draft pick. The two interior defensive lineman are very good and strong. Over the last year and a half the linebackers have been only average but Cody Simon had a breakout game against Nebraska and had numerous tackles for a loss. Arvill Reese is the third linebacker and is viewed as a potential star once he starts starting. Denzel Burke looked terrible against Oregon but had a real good game against Nebraska going against slower receivers. The game against Nebraska was probably the best game the defense has played in a year and a half. The DBs are generally very good.

If your starting tackle is injured and doesn't play, this could be a mirror game where both defenses shred the offensive line of the opposing team.

Be a cool fan chant : Tyler ................................................Warren !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sung to the pseudo limerick WE ARE ....... PENN STATE!)

My favorite thing about this season is how AK uses , and puts the spotlight on one of the very best players on this team. Warren has been exceptional this season . And I hope he is THE featured player of this game .

Not that I recall. It is amazing that there are so many who believe the B1G is fixed. If the conference wanted to fix games thru the officials they would not do it by blowing a call like the Nebraska 1st down run. They would probably do it by missing/not missing holding and PI calls. These are much more nebulous and easier to hide or deny. Some degree of holding probably happens on most plays.

So the answer as I suspected is no.

I have watched the B1G officials occasionally give PSU a call, but only against teams that are traditional part of the lower echelon of the B1G. And for the record, I did not support those calls that went in PSU's advantage.

From an observational perspective, I have seen the B1G officials consistently referee a big game in a non partisan fashion so that I know that they have the ability to do so.

It is the annual OSU - MI game.

Hmmmmmmmm.........

They do fix games by NOT calling offensive holding and defensive pass interference. That's the easiest way to control a game. Watch the big 10 plus 8 and you see it all the time.

You appear to be a long time Buckeye fan so I am genuinely curious.

Has a B1G officiating crew ever apologized to the OSU football team for blatantly blowing a call against an opponent not named Michigan since PSU has joined the conference?

I cannot recall a single circumstance but maybe your memory of such events is similar to PSU fans and you will be able to rattle them off of the top of your head along with the consequence/outcome of the respective football game(s).

I am not an official, couldn't tell you. I can tell you that some enjoy the athleticism and creativity of the game, others complain about the calls.
