You wrestled at Michigan with lewan? I thought you were much older. My bad
Rutgers dual thread - Jan 24
- Thread starter 86PSUPaul
- Start date
I saw a well known Lehigh valley coach including P-burg 😉 yell to referee to call stalling on his wrestler who was acting like a turtle on bottom. I laughed. The kid made a better effort after the ref called the stall.

George Carlin had a great bit that is similar to this.
Sometimes, nah many times (yeah, that's better MANY TIMES) you can't catch them until they get to the edge so that is where you happen to be when shooting a shot is an option.
I agree....very sad! I don't care how popular he is as a social media influencer, or how much money he makes. His parents should be encouraging him to walk, exercise, eat healthier, and get out from behind the camera and improve his health. He isn't cute or funny, it's just sad his parents are capitalizing on his poor health.

Because your intentionally fleeing the mat (i.e., intentionally taking yourself OB to give yourself an advantage) - this is fundamentally illegal in all forms of wrestling. Given the question you're asking, it's pretty clear you don't understand the fundamental rule of wrestling that it is illegal to flee the mat for the purpose of avoiding continued action and to gain advantage via a resart.
Your example is completely non-analogous and act as if the Rutgers wrestler did not back himself to the edge of the mat (another form of stalling) - he put himself in the position he was in by backing to the edge, so saying "if he was in the middle of the mat" is a bit inane as he wasn't in the middle of the mat and the entire reason he was on the edge was his own 100% defensive actions designed to avoid/prevent interaction and ultimately take himself out of bounds to avoid the offensive attack.
Everything he did during the chain wrestling series was stalling, ultimately culminated by fleeing the mat to avoid the takedown - that's absolutely against the rules and correctly called as stalling.
Where else will I be able to watch videos of things that are clearly airplanes, with the caption “mysterious drones in NJ”
Sounds like a new Batman/Robin foe if you want my two cents.
So the final scoring tally for Rutgers was 1 takedown and 20 escapes. Nine stall calls against. Something tells me their approach to the dual was flawed.
It's funny, but I was reading Rutgers' promo for the Illinois match tomorrow. They claim Rutgers is seeking its first win over a top ten team in more than 6 years. They count a win over "then #10 Wisconsin" as the last one. What was Wisconsin's rank at year-end? They weren't in the top 25. Matter of fact, they didn't even get a vote. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/wrestling/d1/college-wrestling-rankings-nwca-coaches-poll
Are we sure we want to count that one? From the piece "One of Rutgers' head coach Scott Goodale's public preseason goals was for his team to beat a top 10 team finish the season ranked in the top 10." I think she/he's saying Goodale wants to beat a team that finishes in the top 10 in a dual. The 2019 win over Wisky clearly doesn't count.

It's more sad because it seems to me that people are laughing *at* the kid.
For someone that claims to not be a RU hater you sure are obsessed with them. Illinois is currently a top 10 team no? Maybe by the end of the year they are not? In 2019, heading in that Wisconsin match, maybe they were rank 10th? Ok so what if by seasons end they dropped out.. if RU beats Illinois should that not count as a win over a top 10 team?? @__@
That’s nothing…
Barr had 7 takedowns in (less than) 1 period.
PSU’s starters have given up 9. In about 110 matches. Crazy.
That’s like a running back gaining as many yards in 1 quarter as the team has given up in 10 games.
Our lower weights seem to like to counter to score against tough opponents. Luke's good win against Nebraska Smith was was a counter . Davis struggle last year at Nationals was his inability to get to a leg. Bassett is probably one of the best counter wrestlers and scramblers that has wrestled at Penn State. I think it's who they are. I know a couple of smaller guys in a Pennsylvania high school that might change that tendency.😏
Fair points thus far with the exception of Beau Bartlett. He has one of the quickest, best single leg shots in the country. He has absolutely no problem getting to a leg.
The mystery to many on this board is why he doesn’t use it more often. Is it lack of confidence? Conservative style? Preferring to counter? All that said, I love the kid and really hope he gets his title this year.
I totally agree about Beau,. He frustrating. Maybe when he wrestled 149 he had trouble finishing his single leg because of size and strength difference and he decided to look for the counters. ????
Josh Barr’s Entire 3rd Period vs John Poznanski(Rutgers) - with the Jeff Byers Call, 2024 197 LBS Dual Meet, Wow 7 takedowns in less than 2 minutes!!!
Braeden David vs Dylan Shawver(Rutgers) - with the Jeff Byers Call, 2024 125 LBS Dual Meet, Full Match
Carter Starocci Highlights vs Shane Cartagena-Walsh(Rutgers) - with the Jeff Byers Call, 2024 184 LBS Dual Meet
Not to be picky, but the first takedown was awarded at 1:40, the last at 0:41. Yes, that's less than 2 minutes, but also less than 1 minute.
I'm in favor of using the measure that Goodale uses for his goal - besting a team that winds up the season in the top ten. So, yeah. If Rutgers beats Illinois and Illinois winds up outside the top 10 (which, tbh, is almost inevitable if they lose to Rutgers), the streak continues.
Are you sure you are not a RU hater lol it’s ok to admit it if you are.. Goodale probably meant beating a team that was ranked top 10 going into the match, which Illinois was, so yeah it is what it is, a top 10 win…
