Must be a fake video. That broomstick couldn't have worked against a foreigner -- our superiors keep telling us folk hinders free.
Seriously: IMO Hidlay will be problems in college -- for just about everybody else. Against Aaron, not so much.
Also gotta love Aaron's Nolf-like openness to giving up points in order to score even more himself. You can have your 2-pt counter exposure, I'm rolling thru it and putting you on your back. Savage.
Way off topic: Robert Kraft arrested for having his balls deflated in Florida....... Tom Brady smashes phone out of habit...…..
Here's the obituary for Dan Jordan. Says he lettered in wrestling, which is how Ed Ruth and Bryan Pearsall knew him, I suppose. Not on any roster. Appears to have been well liked and a decent guy. No cause of death mentioned.
Keep spreading the gospel in Iowa JW. We appreciate it! It’s fun to fathom that this group is better than the previous group. No reason to believe phase 3 won’t better them both... it is insane to see the pipeline.
Long Time PSU season ticket holder, but, live out west of Blacksburg on VA/TN line. Also a Va Tech season ticket holder. We miss Kevin. Everywhere he’s been (Christiansburg, VA Tech) he has built a program the right way. Cyclones are gonna be there in 2021-2022 .... maybe sooner. Like Cael, .... Kevin gets the right kids and grows em’.
It is a very cool video, but BTN somehow forgot to include both Myles Martin and Sammy Brooks among Bo's "ultimate" pins.
I can't recall ever seeing a HS match where that many points where put on the board by the contestants.
In the 132 lbs final of the National Preps, Beau Bartlett (Wyoming Sem) defeated Shayne VanNess (Blair Acad), 20-13
The match did not go to OT. Here's how the scoring went (BB for Bartlett, and SVN for Shayne VanNess)

I lived in North Carolina back in early 2000s and drove up a couple times to watch Christiansburg wrestle. Also around that time I found a documentary online about Grundy wrestling. It was a very good watch. Some great talent in that area for sure.
Geez Flo went off tonight. Not only pissing off their clients, but giving out free accounts like candy for reparations.
If there is anything less surprising than Dake ...
Pyles may have crawled to Baltimore on his knees, backward, to personally hand Downey his free membership code.
That ankle pick is FILTHY. Cael must be so pumped!
Stumbled upon this buried deep in a CP post.

Jason's slow motion reaction after the match... says it all. Dude from Buffalo has Tyler Berger Syndrome and when Jason so decided... his dancing body was added to Jason's overall body count.
Jason's opponent certainly isn't majoring in Common Sense at Buffalo. He poked "The Beast" repetitively into wanting and then receiving a thorough ass kicking in front of almost 7,000 people. Not smart.

That right there is PSU vs. Iowa in a nutshell -- one is looking for stall calls, the other is looking to force action and score actual points. Not the fans. The student athletes.
Also those are the competing mindsets before any of them even enroll.
The obsession with stalling at Iowa is really bizarre. They actually view it as an integral part of their offensive strategy. Have to wonder how much practice time is wasted trying to get the other guy in a position to get a stall call instead of working on scoring points, escaping from bottom or scramble situations.
Totally agree.
I can appreciate getting frustrated when refs don't call stalling, but Iowa guys seem to pursue those calls through mat positioning (instead of actual scoring attempts) as a main offensive strategy. I guess if you can back a guy to the edge of the mat by tying up and pushing, it's an opportunity to score points with very little risk at being countered. It does, however, rely on the refs to award points instead of earning them by, you know, actually taking a guy down. It's kind of like the "Chuck it deep and hope for a pass interference call" play football teams use sometimes. It can work, but you're completely relying on the refs.
I thought the DeSanto Fix match was a great example of this. I guess DeSanto was the aggressor, he was moving forward in neutral more than Fix. But he wasn't actually attempting more takedowns. He wasn't really opening up any more than Fix. He was just tying up and pushing.
So true it hurts. It is fine for most guys as it lets a good guy compete toe to toe with a better wrestler and perhaps steal a win late (DeSanto vs Fix). It is a shame Spencer is being taught to shut down the attacks and push. Poor Assad already knows he is headed for the wrong end of beat downs against Brooks, but maybe, just maybe, he can block and push enough in one dual in Carver to steal one win and make him a folk hero for a day in Iowa City.
