It sounds like I need to listen to that broadcast. They are kind of funny and cringy at the same time.
Maryland dual thread - Sunday, 2/9
- Thread starter KSLion
- Start date
I nominate Bushwood. He could carry on about stalling rules, citing the exact section from the rule book and complain how the officials never call it correctly.
The two kids on Sunday were better than anything I heard last year.
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?
Yes and no (not before this weekend) He didn't have concussion symptoms against Teemer I don't think.
First of all JB mentioned concussion protocol. Plus they left the mat, I don’t think they are allowed to do that just for blood time. But someone more up on the rules might know better.
I also do not remember hearing about any other concussions.

They weren't running the clock and they left the mat, so concussion. Something happened because it wasn't long after leaving the mat and heading back to locker room they decided to default.
As far as I know Tyler has not had concussion issues.
If it had simply been a reopening, staple it, glue it wrap the snot out of it.
Pretty sure the ref gave the concussion protocol signal (fist to head) during both the Michigan and Maryland matches. I didn’t see it vs Teemer, but all 3 stoppages (Iowa included) also didn’t give the opponent the choice of position on the restart that injury time would have dictated.

FWIW, my initial reaction to his stoppages over the last 3 matches was these were head injuries, concussion, whatever you want to call it. In real time, I thought his reaction to each head shot was consistent with what you would expect from that type of injury, even in the case of the initial laceration.
If I was forced to bet on this, my money would say undiagnosed head injury during the Teemer match. Aggravated against UM and pushed completely over the edge against MD.
The science/diagnosis isn't perfect. It's not impossible that he had a grade 0/1 concussion and passed all the rudimentary tests administered matside during the first two matches. This isn't a pregnant/not pregnant situation.
I would assume he got hit on the stiches and ripped them open, hurt like hell, and probably saw some stars. The idea of the cut needing to heal so it doesn't keep breaking open is a top priority... I did say assume
Do they get restart choice on blood time? I thought they didn’t and that was the stoppage reasons for Iowa and Michigan.
But I didn’t even know the fist to head hand motion for concussion. Sounds like the dreaded fist to back!
Iowa could have been blood time, but I’m fairly sure it was concussion time vs Michigan.
Say what you want. Tyler got clobbered in the head 3 matches in a row. I don't like negative trends. I hope he doesn't go this weekend.
