It's not like we have anybody better at those weights.....well, yeah, there are those 2 redshirt guys, Zain and Nolf...Originally posted by Tom McAndrew:

His second over Schiller this year and the 2nd kick to his head by Schiller. Scott's probably sick of losing toOriginally posted by Azchief32:
Nice win by Morgan.
WTF?? That's the craziest thing I've heard all day, and I've heard strange $hit today.Originally posted by dsites52:
We hear about how rare it is to have a Ruth or Taylor, but after the showings by Moss and Frey, it's safe to say that Englishs or Pearsalls are just as rare, if not more so.
Anyone see the matches yesterday? I only saw posted updates on the matches. Seems like complete BS to me that Evans stalls for an entire match against Brown yet again and has ZERO stalls called on him, but Jimmy Conaway has multiple stalls called on him including what seems to be a BS stall call at the end of the 3rd period that tied his bout against the #2 seed after he had escaped in the 3rd period to take a 1-point lead. Anyone see that JC bout? Seems like the officials screwed JC with that absurdly quick call and was intent on bailing out his opponent.Originally posted by Tom McAndrew:

Yea, it was against #2 seed Taylor of Wisconsin, my bad on that....it was JimmyG. My point is that it is absurd how inconsistently stalling is called in this conference that a call like that can cost a wrestler the match, but there is ZERO calls on wrestlers who stall for their ENTIRE MATCH (e.g., Delgado, Evans, etc...), but zero stall calls. Complete bushleague BS and a total screwjob of JG to protect the #2 ranked wrestler and get them into the finals.Originally posted by psualt:
The match you are referring to Bush is JG. I thought the stall call in the third was unwarranted. Taylor was basically digging for double underhooks as I recall and just bulled himself into JG. He did back off the mat but I didn't think that he should have been hit for that. The first call was on a kick out on the edge of the mat early in the first period. I'm not sure what you are supposed to do in that situation. That did not look like the same JG we have seen this year though. He appeared gassed at the end.
On the flip side, Delgado was allowed to do his normal backpedal routine for 2 1/2 periods until he gets nailed.

In other words, inconsistently and selectively making BS stall calls is EVEN WORSE then not calling it at all. The BT enforces stalling in a completely BS manner in which no stalling is called to benefit BS tactics (especially from Iowa wrestlers and non-PSU highly-ranked competitors such as Delgado), but then stalling is CONSISTENTLY and selectively called to bailout #2 Taylor and totally screw JimmyG -- it's a farging joke the way bouts are officiated in this conference (the PSU-Iowa match earlier this year being a classic example -- somehow multiple Iowa wrestlers such as Gilman were "bailed out" by the officials by not calling stalling (including fleeing the mat) despite the PSU wrestlers clearly deserving the benefit of multiple stall calls against their opponents lame tactics).Originally posted by Bushwood CC:
