Brooks' loss, a gift?

[GogglesPaizano]

Are there any of you that feel Brooks was pinned?

Me!

It doesn't change the dialog. ISU would have run out their heavy and Kerk gets a TF or Fall to secure the dual. Aaron still has a loss to a guy he will beat in the future... On balance the universe remains unchanged, but yes, I would have called the fall.

Anybody out there really and truly care? He still lost.

Probably has mono

 

[NittanyLion84]

Probably has mono

Why are we so slow on the uptake, we need to be better and get excuses out there as soon as possible.😉

 

[PSUAllTheWay]

He was flat longer than at least a few of the 7 CMU wrestlers were the night before and the ref missed it. Happens all the time.

 

[Psugo823]

In March it's not going to matter if Brooks was pinned or not.

Count on that.

 

[KCLion]

Just as Eirman was at the 2021 National duals in Florida against NC State

And Warner in the early round a couple of years ago.

Nick Reenan of NC State. Round 1 in 2021. Unbelievable. No sound on YouTube, but can imagine the noise coming from Iowa corner.

But...this ain't March. In March the score will be something like 3-1.

3-1? After 90 seconds maybe.

 

[Psugo823]

3-1? After 90 seconds maybe.

Probably.

 

[86PSUPaul]

3-1? After 90 seconds maybe.

So in the first 90 seconds there is a take down, escape, and two stall calls? Unfortunately I doubt any ref calls two stalls in the first 90 seconds at NCAA’s.

or maybe injury time and Brooks choses bottom on the restart.

You're as bad as my wife. It was purely rhetorical!

You forget about an illegal fist to the back while in the neutral position!

Ha! Does she figure out scoring possibilities also, like all of us wrestling nerds?

The Penn State wrestling fan is probably the equivalent of D and D level nerddom lol

bordeaux has said before that his wife considers us all wrestling nerds on this site!

and rightfully so….

 

[Folkstylefan]

To all you HR homers on here yes he could have been called pinned, does it really matter other than to help give you more hope come march. Coleman wrestled a smart match, doubt we’ll ever see the same result. Your 84 lber will be lucky to aa and brooks is a high percentage finalist. Yes nothings a sure thing even your golden child lee.

Awww, give the Hawk fans a break. They got excited. Could probably count on one hand the number of times a Penn State wrestler has been on his back in the last 12 years.

 

[James P. Whitters III]

Marcus Coleman is one heck of a wrestler and a real team leader. Aaron Brooks is a talent to behold. I doubt Marcus can repeat that outcome, but nobody can take away the fact that he can say he actually beat Brooks back in the day. I was excited as hell and I am a huge Brooks fan as both a wrestler and young man! It was shocking. That match was going about how I expected prior to the 6 point move.

 

[mcpat]

The 4 point nearfall continues to be a game changer (vs 3 pts)

Who could count that? You?

Indeed. You must admit, it has been quite infrequent…and like the Brands brothers…I have skills.

You must have a selective memory😀. The answer is in the hundreds I would bet

Maybe dozens…so probably about the same as the number of times Bo had Sammy Brooks on his back.
