Wrestling LIVE THREAD: Penn State vs. Michigan 1/19

Men shake hands because there are more important things than sports. The ideal should be compete with all your might but when the whistle blows you are equals. United in your mutual love for competition and your shared humanity. It makes me sad someone would purport not to understand that and another guy would like the post simply because his favorite team cannot seem to understand sportsmanship.
Well said, and I consider it extremely disrespectful to turn your back on a competitor with their hand out as a show of respect, Kharchla hadnt done anything AT ALL to draw this response (maybe he said something).
Totally classless move and I am so proud to be a fan of 4 coaches who would NEVER pull this shit.
Not familiar with B14 wrestling, can you provide a link to their site? Thank you in advance.
Iowa doesn't do the post match shake tradition very well either. Maybe M* could just tweet "good job" or "you don't like tough wrestling" to the opponents post dual.
The Brands are the perfect coaches for that program and their fan base.
Maybe a couple that did Nelson Brands matches and got too close.
I wonder how far Hildebrandt will drop in the flo rankings for losing to Suriano 2-1. I’m thinking 15th lol
I may not have made myself clear and totally agree with your post. I was only referring to wrestlers going to the opponent's coaches to shake hands. Win or lose I think both wrestlers should stand in the center facing each other and shake hands.
I have seen that many times and always thought they were very humble and honorable young men. That was one credit I have always given to Tom Ryan.
The post match handshake. Part of it is sportsmanship, and part of it is probably everybody wants to shake "the man's" hand.
Everybody used to make an effort to shake Gable's hand.
If you were a Pennsylvania wrestler, it was always important to shake Bob Bubb's hand.
Brands isn't Cael as far as being "the man" goes, but Tom is a three time NCAA champion and an Olympic gold medalist. Tom ain't the king, but he is wrestling royalty and he should never turn his back on an offered hand of a kid competitor.

Here's Micah walking over to our coaches after losing 16-0 to Nolf (in the midst of the most heated team race of all time) I can only make fun of Tom Ryan to a certain extent (he makes it too easy) but nobody should deny he instills excellent values in his wrestlers.
Maybe they give it something like this...
On shaking hands.
The Brands should tell opposing opponents before wrestling starts, we don't shake hands till the end.

Sure it does but because you don’t get the concept you failed to understand. In fact it is the exact same idea. Like athletics, politics should stop at the water’s edge. When someone is happy their countrymen are dying because of a perceived political difference, that is representative of not only a deep sickness in them but also the nation. One could argue that the best part of sports is teaching young people to compete to the best of their ability while simultaneously respecting their opponent. If you cannot figure out why that would be a beneficial concept in a larger sense, I am not sure what to tell you.
No, it doesn't. Here's your subscript: "The best thing about the coronavirus is that it will leave a lot less Trump supporters." It says the opposite of what you are saying above.
It’s so hard to speak slower on the internet. Typing slowly doesn’t even help. Yes… eddy… it is a quote from another poster. It is meant to underscore how unbelievably far we have slid when someone will cheer that their fellow countrymen who have different political viewpoints are dying. It also emphasized how hypocritical the precious moderator of the board truly was. The poster, instead of being banned from polite society, was one of the protected class on the board.
Stop with the condescension. I get the point. It wasn't clear the subscript was from another poster. It looked like it was from you.
May I suggest both of you go to the COVID thread? This isn’t really about the Michigan match.
COVID gratuitous dumpster fire thread
For all those spreaders who infect wrestling threads: here is your opportunity to practice social media distancing. If you're not willing to wear a muzzle, er mask, then do your part to keep everyone else healthy. Preemptive:

Yeah, one would think there be a very simple remedy to this, such as once a team has lost a challenge they surrender the brick. Unless it is retained to help flag an injury situation the ref may not see.
If that's the case then thrown a brick after a lost challenge should deduct a team point. Problem solved.
Freudian slip or fat fingered TYPO , either way "tape" isn't much of a broadcasting thing anymore.
