How the hell are we suppose to help draw new fans to the sport when the longest, most loyal fans of the sport can't even explain to them how to score it?
2026 NCAA Championship Session IV Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Took what the coaching staff preaches to heart.
Oh my god that transition to the turn from Haines was so sick. Of course the official is 3 seconds late recognizing the position.
The ref wasn't the problem he saw what he saw which was the hip hit on a nearside. The booth overturned it
Now we know why T&T had Kennedy duck Levi in January.
We’re killlers and that is why you come here, pulling at his singlet, nickal pinned his guy and this guy won by default.
On an aside, what happened to Byrd? Struggling with weight or injury? Last years version majors the 2026 version
First time kennedy was ever teched
Whats the point of being a d*ck Iowa had a good tournament compared to the year they had.
It's a mess currently. Nobody knows WTF is going on. Let's make the takedown 3 and then change everything else. Wrestling will always shoot itself in the foot
Lets keep things in perspective here ladies and gentleman. Duke and Blaze are true freshmen who have had a hell of a season going right out of the gate. 133 was the toughest weight in the field this year, and Duke beat the returning national finalist, and the number one ranked wrestler at one point this year. Their season is not over yet and its time to put that behind them and get the next best thing. If they let it linger like we are, it could cost them and the team (not the championship but the record).
SVN, Messinbrink, and Haines all say hi.
He needed to either call it sooner (as soon as the hip hit the mat) or let it play out. He froze and blew it.
Probably both. He really faded down the stretch. Lot of miles on those tires.
Wasn’t his weight last year that had all the upsets and he was tallest of the little people? Yes he still won but not holding up for a second.
Yeah. Interview the guy that barely won over Levi who just dismantled a seasoned vet.
Who the hell are all these Pennsylvanians committing insurance fraud? It must be a damn epidemic.
Ok Rocco. You see what is happening. Bring it!!
Rutgers perennial #33 in the standings!!! 
Yeah....well killer....the guy you can't be out for a starting spot at your more natural weight just got teched by Levi....
3 TF’s, SVN, Mitch & Levi.
Exactly. PJ had the cradle locked and Robideau down on the mat. And there's no "reaction time" here. PJ had the cradle locked and had Robideau on his side for several seconds. Robideau did get PJ's leg, but he lost that momentarily (to get it back later), but PJ had the cradle locked throughout. This was just a horrible, horrible review. I'm fine with the mat ref. He gave plenty of time for reaction time and he justifiably stopped the action in sudden victory because the takedown was clear. Not sure what those refs in the review room were looking at or discussing. This is horrible. I've seen plenty of ridiculous calls in wrestling, but this was just inexcusable, cost PJ a national title (come on, he wasn't losing to Taylor after EASILY majoring him two weeks ago) and changed the team score considerably (not that it will end up mattering).
Nice of them to sacrifice their season, in order to tip their hat to Rolling Rock like that.Rutgers perennial #33 in the standings!!!
Finally figured out who Angelo Fiat reminds me of...

do the refs stay on the same mat? Because Welsh's big ten match against manatanona is concerning with THIS ref.
You stand up for your team! You go boy.
