I'm strongly of the opinion that stalling just needs to be called with more emphasis and more regularity. And anytime someone mentions removing ALL riding time, I disagree. But THIS is a very interesting idea!
Next year?
- Thread starter Rdydonn
- Start date
I'm way too young to know anything about that.
For those who do, were these panels generally considered fair and accurate?
I think the standard reply to him should be: "Eight scoring wrestlers", and that's all. Just those three words.
Official bet: Howard makes it through the season into the ncaa tournament and I stop posting. He gets injured though and cannot finish, then Johnstown, Jeffrey and 82 Bordeaux stop posting. Money where your mouth is...
I loved that no matter what, Iowa was nothing as far as team championship threat. It made it easy to root for Murin and Warner, and appreciate Nelson's effort.
Generally, but as with anything that based in subjectivity sometimes the end result could be controversial. Many people believe 3 time champ Lee Kemp got hosed in a referee's decision his freshman year against Iowa's eventual 2 time champ Chuck Yagla.
You want to BET one of our wrestlers get injured a 3rd year in a row? Good lord, get lost dude.
I won't call him a lowlife, but he needs to dig upward to see daylight.
Spencer is actrually worse. The meth munks don't have a quit button.
Remember, I told you I had a feeling this was Parris' year and that Spencer was vulnerable.
Okie state has become a shit show…..he should portal to psu for his final season and get a title…wishful thinking I guess
Considering Fix's dad was Smith's college teammate and is on the RTC board, any departure would be shocking.
My suggestion is that the first person to score a point gets the decision in the 2nd period and the rideout. I think it would encourage scoring if you have a particular weakness and do not have a decision. If scoreless after 1 then a wrestler would be more likely to take bottom starting the 2nd to get the point.
Indefinite OT periods will never happen. The Suriano-Fix NCAA final was bad enough -- nobody wants to see their 26-minute HS match. Not any fans, definitely no TV executives or tournament organizers -- and pity the poor guys at the next weight needing keep warming up.
The current system generally seems to be working well. The one change I'd make is extending the rideout periods to 1 min each -- then they would no longer be stall-outs.
Just a thought. If the Okie St alums who want a top change get their wish and Smith were to be replaced, loyalty is out the door. Considering Fix wants a title and OSU definitely offers him not a single path to beating Vito, a Happy Valley visit might be warranted. That isn't to say Cael, Cody, Casey and the rest are going to come up with a successful plan for Vito, but the chances are much greater.
Fix isn’t going anywhere. I bet he just focuses full time on freestyle now. If we are talking about poaching guys then why not steal the guy Iowa wants and try to get Bouzakis? He fits at 133 and has 4 years of eligibility. I don’t really think he leaves Ohio State but it seems like there is some talk out there. Just really don’t want him going to Iowa. At Iowa he would have to beat out Teske and Shriever while next year at PSU it’s wide open. If him coming hinders the ability to sign Lilledahl though I want no part of it. Lilledahl is probably the 1 kid I really hope comes right now
Because he already got wind of the rumors this morning and completely shut them down.
I just read that on the other thread. I’m glad Bouzakis came out and said he’s a buckeye. Makes Gobblin look like the fool that he is and myself as well for putting any stock in what he says

Injury defaulting out of the tournament can be evidence of mental fragility however it requires more to prove which none of us are able gather. His life work would point to the opposite.
48 hrs ago, you had half the team redshirting and Cael punting the 70% of the lineup.
I read this very different than you intended.
I agree - but I was just responding to a post that was discussing transfers (Fix and Bouzakis).
It is kind of tough to anticipate portal transfers. First, our staff actually waits until a guy is in the portal to call. Other schools have recruiting parents calling kids checking on their health and offering meetings with head coaches.
Hedging all of your guesses to later claim you were 100% correct.
Let the self-back-patting begin !!
This is my “portal” version:
125: Ramos
133: Vito
141: Alirez
149: SVN
157: Haines
165: O’Toole
174: Starocci
184: Brooks
197: Bonaccorsi
HWT: Kerk
I think we’ll win, even with the Ferraris at Iowa.
I don't see Cael punting when you have so much talent on the roster. I could see a portal rental or two if high quality wrestler(s) approach him about transferring.
Are you playing Ferrari wordle?
