That number has been disconnected since the summer of 1982 😂
In case anyone is interested that number (different area code though) actually went to a restaurant named Montroso's Pizza in Proctorville, Ohio. After the song hit, the they sold a Jenny's Special pizza for a while but the prank calls finally forced them to "lose that number." One of the guys I wrestled against in high schools dad owned it. The whole exchange switched to 886 several years later when Bell Telephone Company broke up ... showing my advanced age here. 😉

Mendez = 10 is correct if he gets 2 pts for the bye, which I don't think is the B10 scoring rule.

I might be wrong about that rule, and really don't care enough to look it up because the B10 team score is about as meaningful as Ohio State's recruiting national titles. We've had plenty of years where we lost B10s and 2 weeks later won NCAAs.
That rule applies to all college tournaments. Win your match after the bye and you get advancement for both.

My roommate used to call the 814 version of that number and ask for Jenny every time he got drunk, so several times a week. Sounded like an apartment full of girls and shockingly they never appreciated those calls.

They're over there saying Block didn't stall, it's home cooking, etc. etc. MSU is especially good today with the whining.
MSU's last stand. He did say they were wrestling great now compared to the regular season and this should be viewed as a success. This will be his hill, 1 B10 Finalist but they wrestled great. In his mind this is not moving the goalposts.

Iowa fans on social media whining, Basch pointed out that I didn’t challenge, accidental?


It shows that the person that tweeted this doesn't know a f*ing thing.

Yes, it's illegal to grab a uniform, or to grab headgear. And pretty much every single tournament I ref (admittedly, not college, as I'm not a college ref), there are lots of times where there are incidents like what's shown in this pic. Fingers get caught in uniforms a lot. No matter how tight the uniforms may appear when a wrestler is standing, when said wrestler is moving or bent over, and the opposing wrestler is trying to find something that works (from a wrestling perspective) with their hands, it's pretty common for things like the picture tweeted to occur.

If the wrestler whose hands get caught on a uniform strap, or inside a headgear strap, doesn't do anything with the uniform or headgear (i.e., pull it and move the opponents body, use the headgear strap to try to tilt the head/body), and the wrestler actively attempts to disengage from the uniform, then it's treated as nothing. and no point is awarded.

Most of the incidents of uniform grabs that I call involve the things I mentioned after the "i.e.," or if a wrestler is trying to escape and the wrestler in control grabs the uniform to prevent the escape (and doesn't immediately let go).

Also, a reminder once again that still photos are almost always useless in evaluating what should or should not be called in wrestling. A ref, or a ref evaluator, would need to see the video sequence to determine what should or should not be called.

I had 814-867-5309 for about three months back in 1994 before I requested a new number

Not sure if BTN+ gets to carry the semis tonight and medal rounds tomorrow. I was under the impression that BTN+ was golden for the whole tourney. But then I saw the breakdown below on the PSWC website. Maybe their reference to BTN encompasses both BTN/BTN+ and the standalone reference to BTN+ just reflects sessions that will be covered ONLY on that platform.

285 R16 Mat 2- #4 Cole Mirasola vs. #13 Gabe Christenson (NU)

Period 1:
Let's get this over quick Cole. Luke's coming up. Here we go! Tying up & pushing. Cole drops to a leg & finishes the TD, 3-0. Cole looks for a cradle, then cuts Christenson, 3-1. Cole shoots & gets another TD, 6-1. He has Christenson on his back & gets the FALL!!! Sweet job Cole!!!

Cole Mirasola FALL Gabe Christenson (25-sec)
Serves me right for thinking I could take a pee break...damit.

BTN is also available on YouTube TV for those looking for another streaming option. Sometimes you can score a 21-day free trial through your Google acct (or a 2nd, 3rd, etc Google acct). That should get you thru NCAAs with both BTN and ESPN.
