It is so great to be able to watch every match on every mat unlike the old days with only the Finals on TV and then not even all of each match was shown.
2026 NCAA Championship Session I Thread

Good question, and I'll have to check the college rules.
In HS (the rules I know forward and backward), it's not a vertical plane. In addition, up until last season or this season (I forget which), in HS if the offensive knees came down OOB, you'd hold a second on the call, for if the toes then touched down in bounds it was a TD. That was changed, so it's no longer a TD in HS. I'll add that this situation (in HS), is also a factor when the defensive wrestler is OOB, but one support point of the offensive wrestler is in bounds, when the defensive wrestler is in NF criteria, if the offensive wrestlers toes come up (if they were the supporting points) off the mat, even though they are within the cylinder it's now stopped for OOB.
Let me check the college rules and complete this reply.
Maybe he should talk about Marcus Blaze’s HS, Perrysburg, who beat Ed’s this year for team championship.
Rocco’s win gives us eight. We still have a chance!
Fishback in trouble. Challenge brick for Brooker near fall?
If that was near fall I think it was Fishback is going down
That is living right my friend!That is some man cave! @lionlover has some ideas on where to place the dancing pole.

Honestly, if your last name is fishback, your should probably have stuck with swimming.
