That locked hands call was some bush-league-bullshit.
It's not called "touching hands" it's called LOCKED hands and was reviewed.

What was really cool about the hidden arm trick is that several guys at 33 picked up on it after RBY, ADS was never really a contender after that.
stalling should be called in the 1st period if the score is zeros the guy doing nothing should be called also stalls for guys that keep grabbing the fingers PSU guys were trying to shake the fingers off and the refs just stand there like nothing is going on then say dumb things like they both are doing it!
so locked hands isn't what it really means the ref even said his hands were on the arm,since when is that locking hands?his hands were separated not locked together!
Have to disagree on this one. Respectfully, of course. He took 3rd. Twice. Losing one point matches to Fix and RBY. He was most certainly a contender in my opinion.
Funny you mention narduzzi. His name crossed my mind at the same time I was hoping Iowa doesn't get rid of TnT. Lol

I agree that Davis didn't use enough neutral attacks. I'm sure coaches will work on angles and sweeps to get to Ayala's elevated knee. it's a large target there for the taking. A wrestler on one knee is vulnerable for other attacks because of a lack of foot movement balance and stability.
Not just Byers, I was there. Very loud boos for Carter’s introduction. Scattered boos for Brooks.
@mcpat did the Lord’s work re: Carver booing our guys at intros in their dual thread - linked a long 2023 thread they had after Lord Spencer was booed.
Hah @86PSUPaul had the same thought I did

they do make 'nice' comments and praise PSU. The comment is how it seems painful for them to do so. They are on National TV and are not supposed to be bias. Just close your eyes and listen next time. Maybe it is me, but I don't think so
I won't predict a Davis victory next time, but that match showed one of the differences between Brands and Cael. Short-term vs long-term.
TB sent Ayala out with a strategy to win that one match. Get the 1st TD, then befuddle Davis with a right knee on the mat. It's a classic case of wrestling not to lose and why so many Hawk wrestlers plateau 2 or 3 years into their career.
For Brandon, it was a chance to practice and learn. With Cael, it's okay to lose if you give your best effort. BD has felt Ayala's go-to move and will have a plan for the one-knee defense next time.

As somebody said previously, the Brands bros are so obsessed with winning every battle that they end up losing the war.
well iowa likes to tie up and hold on so the other guy can't score so Beau did the right thing and scored!
I have zero issue with Beau's stall warning in the second period, but at the very least, it should have been a double stall. Woods did nothing in that match and even during the second period (when I don't think either wrestler took a committed shot), Bartlett was probably more active with his footwork and movement than Woods was. If you don't wish to call stalling, OK I guess, but I agree, if you ARE going to call it, call it consistently.
Real Woods shall henceforth be known as Fake Laminates
Should be just reaction time, not a 5 count. No one stays on their knees for 5 seconds.
I must disagree, respectfully of course.
Wildturd has spent entire shifts at the rest stop on his knees.

Regarding woods… he changed levels and he wasn’t wearing any type of brace, but I thought the first takedown was finished awfully quick and easy for someone of his caliber. Too early to be called gassing due to illness. Seemed to support the leg injury rumor.
Tiltman going on tilt. Show me all the times Lord Spencer was disrespectful - but ignore when he did something to HIS OWN TEAMMATE
Beau Bartlett took Nick Lee down 2 or three times the last time they wrested.
In FS,yes, but legit TD's that would have scored in folk also.
Maybe it's Beau.
Probably because of where the bar is set. This year Carter didn't wear any beers.
Beau says when he shoots he scores, he just needs to shoot more!
That thread was so over the top with self-righteousness and complete ignorance of who are the most notorious booing fans. It was like a twilight zone episode. Further proof of how they saw their guy as a deity.
I saw it at nationals years ago and can't recall the wrestlers, but in my view wrestling from one knee is one of those things that appears different than it is. That time I believe it resulted in pin.
In reality doing so limits both lateral and forward/back movement despite giving the appearance of a solid defense.
What I saw resembled more of an instantaneous football tackle/blast double and the defensive wrestler was immediately put on his back. One would think, in turn, the only defense to a power attack is a roll through to either side using the attackers momentum against him, likewise being so close to the mat limits the effectiveness of a lateral drop.
In any case every time I have seen that defense since, I am hoping the other wrestler just blows through the staller forcing him to his back.
Wasn't there a rule years ago that if the score was 0-0 after the first period that a stall warning was given to the wrestler that the ref thought was the least aggressive? It wasn't a rule very long but there was something like that in the rules. Of course, as we've seen, refs can easily screw that up too.
You are correct sir. The ref reviewed and confirmed he is a blithering idiot.
He didn’t call him athletic, though, because Levi is white. Oh wait, that’s Tim
Johnson. Dude called Antrell Taylor athletic about 6 times. Awkward
Gibbons gushed about Caliendo's athleticism. Also awkward.
