2021 NCAAs

Princeton might have something to say about that...just not this year.

It was obviously a joke.

 

[Cowbell Man]

The reason the ref called a stalemate 5 seconds after RBYs two taledowns is because each time RBY was riding down on the legs and needed to move up above the waist in 5 seconds or be called for a top stall. Immediately after each TD RBY attempted to climb up the legs, but Myers was pushing down on RBY's head preventing him from moving up.
It was handled appropriately.

Which explains the 4 seconds in riding time.

You want PBP that way, then do it yourself.

I've actually tried that in the past. It's actually harder to do, especially in active matches (think Jason Nolf) where it's hard enough to keep up with the action.

I provide the PBP to help those that can't watch the match, or can't listen to the audio stream. It's beyond belief to me that people are complaining about a free service I provide that actually causes me to not just sit back and enjoy the matches, and at times causes me to miss aspects of the match.

Tom, I for one, LOVE your PBP's -- even when I'm watching in real time. For finals this year it has been a godsend as I'm at work during the day and can't watch those sessions until after I get home. KEEP doing what you're doing and realize that the vast majority of those paying attention GREATLY appreciate that. Thanks!

 

[a_mshaffer]

How could they challenge that pin?

the one angle seemed to appear he wasn't pinned! I need to see that again!

 

[dmm53]

Zach Hartman for Bucknell about to take the mat. A PA kid.

Aside: Nolf beat a lot of these guys out there: Deakin, Hidlay, Hartmann, Kemerer, Wentzel, etc.

 

[danoftw]

I went to the Rutgres board. There I learned Rivera was the better wrestler and Lee just took half shots

Half shots helped, but the half near fall is what really hurt Rivera

I get it and I appreciate the PBP when I'm not able to watch. Figured I'd post a suggestion in case you hadn't thought about it. Certainly not complaining about the PBP. Not nearly talented enough to do it myself. And yes, couldn't imagine doing it during a Nolf match or Nickal match where everything can change at any second. But thanks again for the PBP

If that was 5 seconds, they were the fastest 5 seconds I've ever seen. Not once, but twice. I also never saw a count start. I may have missed it.

 

[82bordeaux]

Does anyone else have a brother-in-law in the house asking a million stupid questions about wrestling? Freakin' rugby player. I think I might have to show him the difference between rugby and wrestling.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

How could they challenge that pin?

Yeah, what was that review about after Deakin got pinned?

 

[eddy line]

Tired of hearing about Hidlay. Good win for Carr.

Carr was too quick and athletic for Hidlay. I think he wins tomorrow.

Carr reminds me a little of RBY. Here’s hoping speed triumphs over strength in the 133 final, too.

Rutgers' wrestling fans have a fairly limited understanding of wrestling. Did you explain how Ohio State is perennially the Recruiting National Champion and the importance the NCAA places on that title?
Yeah, you are right. They would not understand the point.

 

[District four]

so between Beard, Kerk, and CStar, I'm going to miss something in PBP. It appears that Beard's match will start 1st. I'll start on that, but switch off it it for the 174 Semi. That means I'll likely miss all of Kerk's match, again, for PBP. Just a heads up.

Thanks Tom I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into this. Hoping one day to buying you a cold one. Maybe at nationals next year. Thanks again

 

[Ranger Dan]

Myers was holding RBY down below the waist, forcing a 5 count.

This was when RBY took down Myers... it was almost immediatel.

 

[86PSUPaul]

If that was 5 seconds, they were the fastest 5 seconds I've ever seen. Not once, but twice. I also never saw a count start. I may have missed it.

Certainly not 5 secs because riding time stopped at 2 sec first time.

 

[dsites52]

I always liked Cam Caffey, BUT I’d like him a lot more if....

 

[nitlion6]

The five seconds is not necessarily the point. The reason for the call was he was to move up or be called and Myers was preventing him from moving up.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Byers has forgotten that Beard is wrestling.

 

[bigs22]

Yeah, what was that review about after Deakin got pinned?

I’m guessing they were hoping he had a full Nelson in for a second there. Illegal hold would negate everything after.

 

[Still in State College]

I always liked Cam Caffey, BUT I’d like him a lot more if....

Match ups matter so much. I think this is a good match up for Warner

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Beard with the first TD against Sloan in the 1st.

 

[nerfstate]

Byers has forgotten that Beard is wrestling.

🤦‍♂️

 

[86PSUPaul]

JB needs a spotter!

 

[bigs22]

There’s that tilt. 6-0 Beard.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Beard on a mission. 4NF still riding in the 1st

 

[a_mshaffer]

Byers has forgotten that Beard is wrestling.

big time... missed over 2 mins

 

[coolm19]

He could use an assistant sometimes...

 

[sneedram55]

Great 1st period by Beard! 6-0 and a bunch of riding time.

 

[AgSurfer]

I'd like to see Griffith win the whole show. It would be a good message for the idiots in the Stanford administration.

 

[PSU_522]

I'd like to see Griffith win the whole show. It would be a good message for the idiots in the Stanford administration.

Then have him transfer to PSU next year?

 

[PAgeologist]

He could use an assistant sometimes...

Could you imagine trying to keep Byers in line and focused?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

With all they said about Nate (David's Dad) - you think they would have mentioned that Jimmy Carr was his brother (Jimmy won Midlands as a HS Sophmore and made the US Olympic Team as a 16 year old - youngest Olympic wrestler in history). Or mention that Nate was only 1 of 5 Carr brothers to All-American - also an all-time record I believe.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Certainly not 5 secs because riding time stopped at 2 sec first time.

Also, he wasn't riding the ankle - he had a potential leg-lace which can be used to turn a wrestler.

 

[bigs22]

Wow. Didn’t notice Orndorff in the round of 12. He must be enjoying life outside the big ten.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Great 1st period by Beard! 6-0 and a bunch of riding time.

He may need to pad that score...

 

[a_mshaffer]

I would say Beard is stalling on top...

if you're from PA, you would know that. Those guys might not be as knowledgeable of wrestling history.

 

[Locolion]

Beard on deck on Mat 7
Kerk in the hold on Mat 7

Is Beard an All American w the victory?

 

[dsites52]

Is it just me, or did Beard take a weird road to the major?

 

[Crunched]

Beard All American !!!
