John Urschel needs to help Byers

announce Nolf's matches.

An understanding of higher math is in order. I was in the car laughing my butt off listening to Nevills and Byers trying to keep up.

Nevills did a nice job announcing overall I thought. But that match was funny.

I listened to the Pac 12 broadcast, because when else do we get to listen to Ken Chertow? He was in rare form, or for him: regular form. Pulled no punches.

If ESPN and the NCAA between them had a single brain cell (insert punchline here), Chertow would announce nationals. I hope the Pac 12 audience understands how good they have it with him.

I was eastbound on I-80 listening and laughing how fast Nolf was racking up points , thinking he might get close to thirty. Glad he got the fall, as
I was losing reception on 1390.

Completely agree. His knowledge of the sport is 2nd to none and he's quotable on almost every single match.

it's nice having an announcer that actually understands wrestling.the guy that was working the bakersfield match thought one of their wrestlers should get back points when nolf turned him.the worst however was a match last year when the announcer thought a wrestler riding got a takedown everytime he returned the opponent to the mat.

the worse, and then actually funny (so bad it became hilarious) was Nebraska a few years ago.... (El-Jefe put that thread on here and you can revisit each match)

The whole sequence had me scratching my head. Not taking anything away from Nolf (he's a special talent no doubt), but I think the Stanford kid might have gassed in the first period. It was just way too easy. Looked comical. Chertow's like "I don't think he's taken the same shot twice..."

I don't think he gassed. I think Nolf broke him in the first.

Yeah, one thing that ugly huge headlock miss did was grant Stanford an extra two points, which in turn allowed Nolf to score even more takedowns en route to the tech fall if the pin hadn't beaten him to it. I had to read the PbP closely, but succeeded in Urschelling my way to counting 11! takedowns. BEFORE the pin at 5:34.

Remember kids, math is fun!

Speaking of math is fun:

If Dempsey had somehow wriggled out of that cradle, Nolf would've won by a 20-pt TF -- started the 3rd up by 13, + T2 + NF4 + RT1.

Which brings up an interesting trivia question - What's the greatest possibly spread on a TF now? I think it's 22 - but haven't really thought it through yet.

 

[ZepGraffiti]

I believe 22 is correct [6-pt move + RT + possible penalty pt, while already up by 14]. Unless there's a "2-pt" penalty situation, then it's 23?

Thinking about it, I guess you might even be able to do 23 because you can have a 7-pt move 4NF + 1 if stopped for injury time. So up by 14, TD to back, hold for 4 count, 1 penalty point against defender (maybe prying fingers or something) while in NF, defender finally cries out to stop match while in criteria, +1 RT. I don't think there is a 2 pt penalty, but you could conceivable have 2 separate 1-points called (PP + injury time in criteria).

I actually liked the guy from Bakersfield. He was self effacing and tried to the best of his ability.
