Gilman wrestles hard as hell and with an attitude but he is not a punk. I'm pretty honest about my guys...if that was what you were referring to, Gilman intentionally released him, Lizak (trying to tick seconds off the clock) would not stand up and face him at the edge of the match so Gilman went back to him and bulldozed him out of bounds for the restart.Originally posted by Jetts PSU Stars:
This kid a punk from the gate. Get real.
You know that as well.
Agree completely as I root for all PA kids, But wow, he is going to need to be very tough mentally to overcome a beating like that. I am sure he will, but this may be a long season.Originally posted by PSUAllTheWay:
Physically, Lezak looks like a boy among men. If ever a kid needed a redshirt year to mature, this was it. I hope he stays positive and keeps pushing through it as he's a tough kid.
My take as well, The in match aggressiveness is not something I will criticize. Gilman was trying to destroy mentally a wrestler from a rival school that he will probably be wrestling for the next 2 1/2 years. We would want our wrestlers to go after and through the opponent if he was wrestling as lizak was. (I felt bad for Lizak though and do not blame him for trying to slow things down the way he was)Originally posted by grappler6:
When Gilman was announced he walked past the center circle, so Lizak started walking out to meet him to prevent Gilman from going into the huddle like he did last year(and then Brancale served him some pancakes). Gilman walked right by Lizak and into the Gopher huddle.
His in match actions didn't bother me.
Agree if Minn tried that crap on UIowa somebody would have gotten their ass kicked.I was there and didnt like it but cant believe somebody didnt thump him.Gophs that's your bad.Originally posted by El-Jefe:
Also surprised 4) he got out of the Goofer huddle intact.
Once upon a time, he would've been lucky to escape with just this:
