Agreed. The notion that Robideau first fighting off his back and a couple seconds later laying his hand on Duke's thigh was a restriction to Duke's absolutely locked "control" (let alone within a "reaction time" restriction of Duke's control) is just an absolute joke and the type of silly bs that you could only see in Folk and by Folk Officials (and that includes the Folk Officials in the Independent Review that would reverse a winning takedown LOCKED CRADLE on a claim that laying one's hand on your opponents thigh several seconds AFTER you have been locked in a cradle, broken down and turned to your back for a second counts as a restriction to your opponents absolute control??????). What an f'ing joke that you could only see in the nonsense rules world of Folk wrestling where you reward the defensive wrestler and penalize the more aggressive wrestler (IOW, the exact diametric opposite of what the spirit of the seminal rules of wrestling say it should be). Only in Folk and by ridiculous Folk Officials - what a joke.

Ferrari doesn’t have the tools for these rideout matches. He’s not quick off the bottom compared to guys like McEnelly and Welsh.
Time to get off that pj match. Back side tomorrow kick *** and bonus
The guy who stopped the pinning combination and the other idiot who reversed it.
I bet almost everyone on this board has enjoyed watching 3 straight semi final victories less than anyone has ever celebrated 3 straight semi final victories
My dislike but grudging respect for the Brands Brothers has turned to total disdain. Ferrari is ridiculous and so are his coaches.
Didn’t know Kid Rock was on the Hawkeye staff.
Good. I'm glad to see Angelos style bite his *** again.
Rocco will wrestle McEnelly (Minny) in the final
Ferrari and brands used to getting calls. Don’t know what he wanted there.
I’m glad Ferrari wasn’t able to stall his way to the finals.
Yeah, you could see Ferrari motioning to throw the brick because he needed a blow.
In T TV
Thought that was Joe Dirt ... a mullet is a commitment ...Didn’t know Kid Rock was on the Hawkeye staff.
Quint getting a little feisty on ESPN about the knee stalling lol.
Did it to himself. Has all the talent in the world and decides to turn every match into a coin flip.
Yep. I just feel empty. Still REALLY angry, but just empty. And although I don't expect it to happen, it would be nice if the NCAA ends up acknowledging that their refs really blew the review and that PJ should have won, NO, that he DID win.
This announcing crew has made a slew of mistakes. Left leg versus right leg, AJ versus Angelo, phantom wins over SVN, etc.
Not sure why Ferrari is upset , when your goal is to win in overtime and make it a one takedown match you have to expect that will backfire every now and then
McEnelly winning with Mikey Kemmerer in his corner against Iowa is ironic.
ESPN guy just unknowlingly trashed Ferrari during his interview with McEnelly, "He just sits there on one knee and does not shoot, you have to be patient". Can't summarize the Ferrari wrestling philosophy any better than that.
I thought the questions were dumb
I should clarify the review idiot was the problem since PJ did leave NF criteria, which by rule ends the match in that case
I’m trying, but boy it’s almost spoiled the rest of the semis for me.
Can't appreciate a loss, as much as I did that one. That Ferarri only runs on seven cylinders, the sob keeps stalling out.
If you look at Iowa's likely roster situation next year, I don't know how TnT survive it lol
But they have had a good tournament.
He went to the wrong coaching staff to correct that.
