Confirmed by Casey today at the PSWC pre-match social. I was hoping it was a rumor too
Maryland dual thread - Sunday, 2/9
- Thread starter KSLion
- Start date
Jaxon Smith has been bonused twice in his career
Last year by AB 13-4 (3 point takedowns also)
And this TF by Carter
Carter always seems to have another gear ... and we see it in March always. I think we saw it today because he clearly took exception to what happened to Kasak (who he views as his little brother) and the subsequent celebration.

I think Carter was none too pleased with his match against Ferrari!
I thought it was cool when Seth and Greg came out for the handshake at the intros that they both were grinning.

Slip: that’s what I thought too …. initially. A hard shot to a batch of stitches hurts like hell as we all well know. The fact that he was down on all fours for 2+ minutes . . That indicates more than ringing stitches. Also, he had a guy under each arm as he gingerly got up. Looks like he got his bell rung. Our coaches pulled the plug pretty quickly unlike a certain coach from north of the PA border.
Wow, that sucks! I didn't see him being helped off the mat. The B1G+ feed zoomed way out when he was down on the mat, so it was difficult to see what was going on. I didn't realize it was that serious. I was hoping he just blew out his stitches. Hopefully, he recovers quickly. Tyler's become one of my favorite wrestlers!

No. The booing started as the ref raised his hand. It was pretty much simotaineis.
I am wondering if CCC took that "discussion" after the Maryland meeting last year to heart... no one went for the pin. (except of SVN who held his opponent in his back for what seemed like months)
From the stands, it sure looked liked the Terp was targeting Kasak's head with the two eye pokes. When Kasak went down for good, it looked like part of the planned assault. We had no idea what was going on until the hand was raised. That's why there was booing. It would have been helpful for the PA announcer to keep the fans informed.
Not to mention, didn't Arnold lose to Nebraska this weekend?
I think Kasak got a little dazed in his last three matches. He has re-hit that cut brow every match, since. I hope he is not experiencing multiple concussions. What happens when Tyler and Meyer hit heads in the finals and get a double injury default? Co-champions?
By the way. Miller still has to get past Joey Blaze before Bigs to keep #1. 50/50 he can.

I thought Carter was going to plant Smith right into Coach Clemsen's lap after his practice throw into the front row of the north stands. I can guarantee you that Carter didn't forget the comments from last year.
Kerk definitely took it easy on Seth in the 3rd. No need to get the major.
I guess we should respect your expert assessment, since Iowa fans are much more intimately familiar with losses than we are.
Yes, I think the noted smile at the intros was an indicator of how the bout was going to go. Classy move by Kerk.

And Barr - which felt like years.
Edit: Barr's situation was weird because he had a wide open opportunity to put in a reverse half and passed on it to trap the right arm. Didn't understand that.

No need to worry unless Cael says he's downstairs drilling as we speak.
I feel like Kasak in his attacks does get his head in there. I wouldn't say leading but darn close. I don't want him to be less aggressive, but these hits aren't dirty wrestling by the opponent. There was some face stuff going on but really not related to the hit.
So you are saying fans need to be informed by the announcers in order to not act like asswipes
I thought so too. Not sure about the first two eye pokes, but I thought if the head butt was obvious that perhaps Kasak should have won after a penalty on Miller, but it's clear that at least the third incident was an incidental headbutt that wasn't the fault of Miller.
Don’t take it so hard. You threw the shade and got what you deserved.
Maybe you can get Terry to come flex in my face the next time one of your mercenary wrestlers gets a big win.
Did anyone catch it when MM had to point out locked hands to the ref. Also in another match there was a tech fall and he let them continue until the PSU guy looked at the ref confused.
Mesenbrink exposes his head 10x per match. A knee to the head is 90% bad luck, 10% avoidable with a change in technique

They get cauliflower ears because they don't wear the head gear in practice nor in out-of-season competitions.
Even the best head gear doesn't always address the problem. Somebody with a history of concussions is susceptible to reoccurring symptoms from something as simple as a good hard tie-up or headsnap.
not real smart but I am guessing that gear rubbing on ears isn't helping!back in the day it was a choice I never wore it and never got the cauli ear!
However, they neglected to tell us who led the Maryland team in escapes.
I guess I’m out of the loop. Was is truly a concussion worry or did the cut open up again? Secondly, does he have a history of concussions?
