So they went back and gave him the reversal again. How in the world does that happen?
How does that even happen? And why did Troy choose down when he needed a TD to go ahead?
Dang. Sprat should've let him go with a few seconds left, instead of trying to get the complete rideout. Ah well. Good fight!
Original call was reversal, wasn't a reversal, overturned to escape, coaches challenge changed it back to reversal.
125 - Spratley drops a 3-2 decision and will wrestle for 5th.

I think he chose down for a couple of scenarios. He can go for reversal or an escape and another stall on Robinson
In other medal round news, everyone's favorite jackass, AJ Ferrari has medicaled out of the tournament, which means Konner wins their cons. semi by medical forfeit and will wrestle for 3rd later.
I was really hoping for Doucet to get the opportunity to beat that punk.
choosing down was coaching malpractice
reversal with a leg was bologna

lol what pu$$ie$ lose fair and square so quit and don’t even try to get more points for their teams.
Ryder is #608, Swin #614, Spratley #611
Spratley gets #14 Moran,
Konner is now match #630 since AJ is gone - will wrestle for 3rd
Ryder gets #6 wyoming guy long name,
Swin gets #3 guy from Penn

So both Ferraris medical forfeit?
That whole family is just a bunch of clowns. Angelo I guess I could kind of understand if his ankle and shoulders are hurt. AJ is just butthurt that Yonger put belt to a$$. Can’t wait to see AJ’s semi-literate self write some social media caption about “Unfortunately I was not able to continue competing

So both Ferrari's MF after both lost in the semis. What a pair they are.
Most pathetic PoS's college wrestling has seen in forever. Disgusting. AJ may not be welcomed back. You could see his teammates were already tired of his act.That whole family is just a bunch of clowns. Angelo I guess I could kind of understand if his ankle and shoulders are hurt.

Bastida really set the tone early in his match w/AJ when he manhandled him for that 1st takedown.
Will be surprised if we get any favorable calls today after last night.
Get escape and stall with v Rob running backwards wasn’t out of the question. Easier than getting 2 stall calls and 2 pts to tie I’d guess.
need to add s religious reference about Gods plan or a bible verse to complete the post lolzThat whole family is just a bunch of clowns.

Yeah but Nebby might be ready for him to move on. Wonder if he’ll try again at Iowa?
I know I've been absent the last few days, but I've been lurking. The tone of this thread is not the normal so I just stayed out of a lot of it haha. Neutral on how critical we should be on message boards personally though, so not picking a side.
Anyways, wanted to share thoughts on the reversal call. While I strongly disagree with it, I do think it's pretty obvious why they called it. VR had control of one leg and "subjectively" the waist at the same time as Troy was on his butt. Those three things can be enough for control. The key for me is back to stupid reaction time. Roughly 1-1.5 secs by my clock when I tried to rewatch. Again, very gray area. So if you cede that is enough for control and you cede that it was enough reaction time, then I get (but disagree) why the independent review said reversal. I personally dont think it was enough time and the waist control was questionable, but again just trying to see both sides of it. Felt like Troy was in trouble well before then though and in an ideal world he gives up the escape or works harder to get outside the circle, even if he is called for stalling.
Tough to draw VR twice too. Excited for spark plug to have one more shot next season.

something to be said for that
the mat officials were pretty clear no reversal then it goes upstairs to some nameless faceless butthurt yankee and voila
Also, VRob is incredibly hard to takedown. It was much higher in conversion to get a reverse, followed by escape and stall (can’t hardly get one in hideouts) then takedown.
So, it wasn’t coaching malpractice, it was math.
Yeah, there’s some chatter he’s not behaving wonderfully.
appreciate the conversation and insight
but troy was in trouble when he jonseyd him to his back lol
imo if the ref never called reverse i don’t think pops even throws a brick
No!! I'm SHOCKED! Shocked, I say....
Not sure how he caught Swid’s blast, looks like not well.
when the penn coach spoke to DT
these mat mics tease you with just enough
to wonder what they were getting into
swid caught him good but homie got to get his face out the way when the train is coming
