Just in case the ref raises it too high/too fast when awarding the FFT?
I was walking to my car and JB said (I think this is what I remember him saying) that the Fab 5 NCs only have 2 reg decisions on the year with 25 pins after today. Thats pretty remarkable even with the weak early season schedule.
Happy for cortez, thats a win you have to have to build confidence.
Thought Raptor could have had a TF if he played catch and release. What did he have 3-4 min of RT. He seems so quick when he commits to the shot.
There arent many IU people in the stands but I did talk to a guy with a IU jacket on in the concession line. He said the kid at 165 wasnt going (so I could stop b!tching about the length of the line). I asked why and he said it was a coaches decision. Which if I was a good journalist would have got a follow up question because that could be anything.

Ha! Yeah, I don't know when PSU was informed of the forfeit. The hand slap from Cenzo running back to the tunnel was hysterical though.Just in case the ref raises it too high/too fast when awarding the FFT?
Funny seeing Zain do Nolf things (foot sweep) and Nolf doing Hall things (mixer)
Mark can ride a tight leg ride. I would love to see Wreck Hall doing some Zain things.
I don't think that is a question that ever needs to be asked.

The Ref must have watched film on Nolf, as Jason did his Secret Move, the Ref immediately started swiping for back points, recognizing what was at hand. When you first see it it looks like a scramble.
Cortez 's slide-by was sweet.
I have no idea how Mark Hall performed that inside trip for 2 while his opponent had a Russian tie on him.

Just had a chance to watch the replay
Best Keener has looked in blue and white singlet.
Good win for Cortez.
Getting pinned by Zain might be the best outcome for these kids. Only a masochist wants 7 minutes of torture.
How are you supposed to wrestle Nolf? You can't defend, yet it might be smarter to defend than to shoot.
Is there a record for feet to back TDs? Bo's gotta be getting close.
I don't care if Indiana's Irick is undersized. Cassar's shots are quick and decisive. Not many 197#ers will be able to match him on their feet.

You're not asking the right questions... Take the Red Pill, and see the brutal reality of the world as it really is.
Nolf. No question. I spend most my time wondering what I’m looking at.
Nickal, however, wasn’t anything custom. Pretty standard on the throwby if the opponent arm flys. In that situation your arm is draped over the back of the neck and literally holding a deep deep half. It then a matter of maintaining while you grab the near leg going by and lift. Boom....on the back.
More often however, the solid opponent doesn’t fly his arm and your arm comes free...but hopefully able to grab the near leg on the way by and the more routine throwby becomes a takedown.
Not that Nickal isn’t creative, just not this time. And really, he is ridiculously fundamentally sound and aware. It’s that awareness that brought him the win vs Dean....sliding the leg over to create a TD on the edge. That was simply amazing.
That is her and I saw the smile(s) when I watched the replay last night. Shes involved in all the sports at PSU according to social media. A lot of people didnt like the hire when PSU made it, but I think she has been good for us. spends a lot of $, but what big time Univ isnt these days.
Can't see it in this clip, but did anyone else notice Dean look up at the ref after they were whistled OOB. I think he knew Bo had 2 and he was checking to see if the ref also knew it.
This was the first match I attended. My wife and I had a great time. I don't have much to compare it to, but I thought the atmosphere was great.
We went to Happy Valley Brewing afterwards. A word of advice... If you get the nachos, don't get 2 meals also. We split the sandwich and took the pizza home.

It looked to me like the top position was something the coaches wanted him to work on. I've seen a lot of circumstances with this staff where wrestlers seem to be doing exactly that - working on a position or technique that coaches are focusing on for improvement during the match. I think it's one thing to do it in practice and another to do it in a match environment.
Our announcer said this was first time Nolf won the best performance award for the match.
Is that really correct?
When he pinned Martinez in dual, he didnt win?

That was an away match, on Jan. 23, 2016. Roar could speak more to the specifics, but there are different awards for home and away matches. I didn't hear Byers' postgame coverage, but he may well have been referencing that it was the first time Nolf had won the award given at home duals.
Nolf won the B1G Wrestler of the Week award after the Illini away dual where he pinned IMar.

Ridge Riley Award is for home duals, Nolf pinned Imar at Illinois.

That was an away dual, and yes, it was Jason's first Ridge Riley. Away dual award is the Ernie Lucas Award.
Will be interesting to see if Keener and Cassar move up the rankings this week. Not that rankings matter much this time of year but their results can’t be lost on the folks who put this stuff together.
Doubt Keener or Cassar move up but Cortez should. Midlands and Scuffle results will probably result in major shakeups in the rankings.
Yep.
Whether the rankings show it or not I'm hoping we can close the gap on tOSU at 133,141 and 197 by tourney time.
They will likely outpoint us by 20+ points at 125. That's a lot of ground to make up when they have 10 guys scoring
BTW: I don't have 20 inch guns.

Given this record, his injury situation, the hard cut, and some good competition (Suriano, etc.), he is not likely to outpoint us by 20+. Could happen, but not likely.
