This. If you call a TD when a guy is locked up in cradle, knocked to his hip and then has his back exposed like it’s called 100 out of 100 times last night, then I’m not going to ***** about getting that called on Shane tonight. But if you’re going to overturn last night, don’t tell me that was a TD tonight.
We should tell mitchel
His calling for back points against Shane immediately when it wasn’t even close was Exhibit A.
What was SVN waiting for. He didn't seem to complete his attack or shots. He let him off to many times. Kid wanted it more.
I believe that takedown was cultural corruption. The ref preferred Valencia because of shared heritage.
I was patient zero with PSU fatigue about 5 years ago.
Candidly, they should just do away with all of the review **** and bricks. It’s waaaaaay too disruptive to match flow and has just become a mechanism for lungers.
and not just this sport. Ffs, athletes need to grow a set and stop being babies with their inability to live with the potential for human error
Don't disagree, but the consistency of the "Independent Review" is awful as PJ Duke's takedown was way more obvious than that and they waived Duke's off.
They'll sell a million of these.

All season, SVN has had problems with being sloppy early in the match. He did it again tonight and gave up a TD and almost back points. Don't give up the early TD, SVN wins the match.
Yes, but I am referring to giving up the first takedown here. Something we saw a few times beforehand.
Stop bitching. SVN just lost and he’s been playing with fire for weeks. It’s like PSU guys only lose because they get screwed. It’s “Iowa cheats” “I hate David Taylor now”. Now
It’s “I hate pine tree mascots too”.
It’s “I hate pine tree mascots too”.
They change rulebooks during matches. Seriously though, there is a narrative they want to push tonight and it ain't about PSU's greatness. This is OkSt's coronation, PSU won't be getting any close calls at all.
Having a cradle is not a td, we all know this.
Also, having a cradle is definitely a td.
I'd concur on where they are at this point. However, Valencia really attacked SVN, and got 2 TDs on him. And while we've seen SVN fall behind before, and then have a bigger tank in the 3rd period, Valencia was the aggressor in the 3rd period and in SV-1. SVN is usually pretty good at blocking shots, and then quickly getting around on a counter. Valencia didn't give him opportunity tonight.
The frequent blood stoppages had to be called, but they worked to SVN's disadvantage (or, at least didn't allow him to out tank in the 3rd period; not sure if he would have been able to against Valencia).
SVN's biggest regret (besides losing) is probably that he was unable to convert the TD at the end of the 2nd period. He was close on that, but Valencia's whizzer prevented SVN from completing the TD before the buzzer sounded.
Oh for fks sake robideau, duke would've scored that takedown 4 different times by now...Hard to watch knowing what Duke would do.
Maybe 15Just 5 years ago?
Replay should be used to overturn absolutely horrible calls. If the review cannot be done in 30 seconds, call on the mat stands. If you challenge and lose, at a minimum it should be treated like an injury and the opponet gets choice, even better, a point like in freestyle. Challege at the end of the match and lose, it is a team point deduction.
SVN has not been the model of consistency, despite being undefeated. And Valencia wrestled a great match. SVN maybe not at his best, but it's also okay to credit the opponent.
Haha, I love that goofy tree. One of the best mascots.
As someone not sitting around other Penn State fans, the Penn State hate is real and it’s extreme. Grown men flipping off Shayne when he lost. For what reason? Has Shayne ever done anything controversial or been anything other than a worthy opponent?
Am I a bad person for muting the 157 match and spending more time scanning board posts than watching?
