Looks like once before the whistle, once after to me--but it was close.
Cassar & Hall's: Classless Post Match Celebrations

Bosco-you are entitled to your opinion -as am I.
But don’t assume you know what athletic situations I’ve been in or not been in.
I’ll not come on a board & talk on my background....but I’m no Al Bundy-& I NEVER EVER drew the attention to myself in big situations.
In there defense-I was a garbage wrestler that did it to stay in shape for my “other” sports-so never in there situation.
Nickal is the only one I give a pass too-he won a national Championship for HIMSELF & his TEAM.
That I can’t compete with & had to be the greatest high he’ll ever experience.
Go Nittany Lions
Old guy here and was always told back in the early 50's never embarras your opponent after the win behave like you been there. Dis like all sports that do this heck in pro sports you getting big pay no need to make a ass of yourself.. Seems to me just awhile back most boards thought Stevenson over reacted when he stood over his opponent and pounded his chest and said "this is my house" myself didn't like that either. How will you take that if he does beat your Hwt at big tens not look good right..

So what was the ref holding up one finger for??
He was rubbing it in the other refs face. Or, maybe a riding time point? Either/or.
Is that a trick question? Riding time point.
It's a ridiculous and fruitless notion trying to please everybody, and this thread is further evidence. As he was growing up, I taught my son that when you score a touchdown, you always HAND the ball to an official and head for the PAT huddle, JoePa-style 
. A few weeks ago at our state quarterfinal game, my boy caught a 96-yard touchdown pass and proceeded to do as he has always done. I heard a man behind me say to somebody, "oooh, doesn't HE think he's Mr. Cool." Again, can't please everybody, and as was already said, I can't believe this is still being discussed. My bad.

Gonna assume RBY's has something to do about them bumping the 125 guy up to beat him
Okay the votes are in its official the topic of this thread actually ranks worse than some of my classics which is saying something
I commend you and respect the hell out of you for sharing your opinion even though it's obviously an unpopular one. It takes guts to do that, regardless if anyone else wants to admit it or not. I can't believe how fast you got chewed up by your fellow fans. I personally am not a fan of showboating from anyone. I'm sure as hell not perfect but I was raised to win and lose the same way.
On the flip side..If I ever beat the defending national champ in my home gym, I'll let ya know how I react.
I just want a team to be all-in on it. I'm ready for a bad boys of college wrestling. I need Nolf lighting up a Marlboro Red 72 on the bench afterwards, flipping off the opposing coach. I want military fatigues off the plane at natty's. Instagram Live-ing themselves playing poker instead of practice in the room.
All this wishy-washy nonsense... Either be the most arrogant, over-the-top team or act like you've won a match before.

I legitimately laughed out loud while reading this hahaha awesome!!!
I've always enjoyed reading your post Crop.
You coach right? High school? How's your team looking this year?

Holding "kids" that are 18-23 yr old grown men to a different standard than the rest of us is a weak ass argument from a weak ass "man".
I folded the flag over the casket of a 19 year old "kid" and gave it to his father.
They ain't kids and you can quit giving them a free pass for being college heroes. There are real grown men doing real grown men shit at the same age.
I'm my 20+ years of active duty, nobody ever played air guitar after clearing a house.

Bet they whooped and hollered. Has every retired SEAL written a book yet?
The “look at me” generation hasn’t skipped those in the military. A far cry from the guys who fought in WWII.
Not even after the ref blew the whistle and raised your hand?
this has the makings of ending badly. very badly.

"nobody ever played air guitar after clearing a house"
I once cleared out a Taco Bell bathroom, and played air guitar.

It's almost as if serving in the military and college wrestling are vastly different situations.
Also, thank you for your service.
Top 5 dumbest posts I've ever read on a message board, and I've been reading Vodka, Grip, and DonHawkeye. Anybody who has actually folded the flag over the casket of a 19-year-old kid or been the father it was handed to is going to have enough respect for real sacrifice and duty to not compare it to a post-match athletic celebration.
since this isn't decided there should be a post match celebration vote thingy thread made up. no comments just votes. that way we will get a clearer picture of the forums position. for example, Get off my lawn- act like you have been there, All's fair- it's good for the sport, or it's all right if our guys do it but not others.
The guys who fought in WW2 created a system that bankrupted every future generation.
The guys who fought in WW2 were so soft, they demanded that people who weren’t white be arrested for using the same water fountains or living in the same neighborhoods.
Don’t talk about the greatness of a generation that would Lynch someone because they didn’t like the way they were looked at.
Also: don't generalize an entire generation of people. As you go back in time, history will consistently appall at least as much as it inspires. When you know better, do better.
every once and awhile you just have to nuke a thread for the F of it.
Just to make sure the button is still working.
this is probably that thread?!?!

My post was in reference to the maturity of a 19 yr old KIA vs a 19 yr old college hero playing an air guitar.........and yes I most certainly did fold a flag and hand it to the next of kin. 21 times. I was a pallbearer 4 times, casualty notification officer 11 time (give that a try boy), firing squad 6 times and place wreaths EVERY year at Arlington.
Quit being apologetic for spotlighters. Zain Retherford was a consummate champion.
