It's nice to see we have some doctors participating in the thread.
highly highly impressive if you can see he was out in that quarter second. He was sprawling and already going down, not limp. His eyes were still looking up at the OU wrestler as he was going down. I watched it again to confirm this.
Does scientist count?
Edit: Or rather, scientist who used to wrestle and has been hit in the chin plenty.
You are telling me his entire body didn’t go limp? I’ve had this exact thing happen to me. I’m saying it’s not a big deal though. You do you though
I am a Breast Doctor so I can’t comment unless we start talking about breast which I am happy to do.
The telltale thing for me was that when Levi went down he didn’t try to catch himself. The conscious/reflexive thing to do is stick your arm out to brace yourself/protect your head. He went down with one arm outstretched and the other at his side. The side of his face bounced off the mat. He was out for a second or two then became alert again.
Got hate that when it happens, rub some dirt on it.

I mean cool man sure.
I’d still rather he take the week off? Doesn’t feel like a crazy thing to suggest. Sorry if it offends.
It doesn't offend. These guys are world class. I don't think they need a week off cause I don't see any risk by practicing
Same reason when a pitcher takes a ball of his leg, they don't switch the team batting.Anybody know why, when a wrestler goes into concussion protocol, they don’t move on to the next schedule match? Give the kid some time to recover and not feel the pressure of 15K people and a TV audience waiting on him.
Looked good tonight. All the guys impressed. No reason to be nervous about any of these freshman
What is Oklahoma’s first competition plan? They only sent out 4 starters tonight. They are the new Buffalo -______-
If we held a poll before the match asking who would have the most takedowns. No one would've said Joe Sealy and no one would have said TWO guys have more than Messenbrink. Amazing performance from Sealy and Welsh showed power and speed against someone who is a wrestler. Both of them had 6 takedowns.... This season may be somewhat "guaranteed" but with freshman,first time starters,backups, a transfer, and nagao, it will certainly be very interesting to follow along.
Ummmm, I've seen much longer delays checking guys out and then letting him throw a few pitches to make sure he's ok.
Obvious answer - they don't do it because the rules don't allow it. Either a wrestler is good to continue or he isn't. Suspending a match then later picking up where they left off comes with its own set of problems.Anybody know why, when a wrestler goes into concussion protocol, they don’t move on to the next schedule match?

When it’s all the time, it’s not special. Wonder how the economics play out attendance revenue vs increased cost of operation.
