If a match ends in a 1-1 tie score after 8 minutes of wrestling, both wrestlers lose and ticket costs are refunded

If AJ wins with 2 points or less and does a split to celebrate, the ref should be instructed to kick him in the nuts for being a douchebag.
If "doucebag" is the justification for a boot to the sak then the should just continuously kick him. He sexually assaulted a young lady and damn near killed another driving like a self-indulgent idiot. The spilt is simply a reminder that he is a "douchebag" 24/7, so just kick away.

Ok, I feel compelled to throw a flag on the field for all those referring to AJF’s doofus show-off move as the “split.”

It is widely known that the proper term is “splits.” Where were you cretins raised?

straddle is side to side, correct?

Can anyone explain why PJ Duke didn't get near fall points in OT? Taylor was on his back for 4 seconds, from 25 seconds to 21 seconds.

Can anyone explain why Duke was not awarded a Takedown when fully behind Taylor, arms wrapped around Taylor and Taylor clearly had 3 points of contact to mat with his hands and feet (and no "reaction time" is granted on the 3 points of contact takedown rule)?

Sure, "reaction time" is again granted on the 3 points of contact standing rear. It was changed last year.

Rulemakers didn't like Max Dean's hand brushing the mat when he did a standing granby not being given reaction time.

How about if you go an entire match without a shot, your opponents gets two points, if the refs are going to continue to be so Pusillanimous in calling stalling. Enough with Taylor and the Ferraris refusing to engage. Scrap or get off the mat.

Yeah it's hard to define stalling, but to quote the late SCOTUS Associate Justice Potter Stewart "I know it when I see it"

Also, watched the last part of the Hardy-Davis match a couple times. Davis clearly showed his emotion when he got stuck after being ahead, and I think Hardy (reminder, 26 or soon to be 26, as was perpetual runner-up Daton Fix in his last year).

If you don't think that's an important difference, try renting from Avis or Hertz before you are 25. I think he realized he could push Davis' buttons in a non obvious way. Clever on his part. Sometimes age and guile beats youth and a bad haircut (P.J, O'Rourke) and no doubt part of coaching is getting an impulsive kid not to react, because guarantee Mendez will try to exploit a real or perceived weakness.

I just saw Zack Seyko's comments, and he seems to think that Nebraska was trying to get under under Penn State's skin, but Hardy's above that-which is ridiculous.

So there is no reaction time granted if it is a situation where the Defensive wrestler puts a 3rd point of contact down beyond the OB circle and the Offensive wrestler has control of at least 2 legs, but there is reaction time granted on inbounds situations??? (Or did they change the instant TD rule for situations at the perimeter circle as well?).

I am not sure if you are asking rhetorically out of disbelief. I don't even know what some of the rules you are speaking about are. What you are describing doesn't reaonate with me regarding NCAA rules.

Can you provide current references to the current rulebook or referee guides/points of emphasis?

I thought you were speaking of standing rear when hand is posted by defending wrestler. There is now reaction time then, when two years ago there wasn't.

I never understood in or out of bounds mattered for folkstyle, because both wrestlers are considered in bounds until both wrestlers vacate the cylinder. Why do you think it matters? Again, a reference would help.

Obviously, for freestyle the quad pod stance must be broken down, and a hand out of bounds equates to a step out even as takedown continuation may apply.

I understand there is pretty much always reaction time in folkstyle, even when grabbing both legs or ankles from behind. They have to be controlled to get the 3 points.

Nope, it was an instantaneous TD if the Offensive wrestler had both legs and any portion of the Defensive wrestler's 3 points of contact was outside the perimeter stripe (i.e., TD was awarded instantaneously as soon as second ankle was grasped.).

And you were told that rule changed. Go find it 🤷

AI trash on a forum is hilarious.

Agreed. I thought AI was 100% accurate until just now. I tested it by asking AI “what does Corby mean“ and it spouted some nonsense about symbolizing wisdom.

So yeah, clearly not a trustworthy source.

😝🤣


AI RESPONSE:

Corby means "raven" or "crow" from Old French/English roots and can also mean "Kori's settlement" or "Corc's farm" from Old Norse/Irish origins, stemming from a surname or place name, often symbolizing wisdom, prophecy, or a connection to nature, and is used as a gender-neutral given name and surname.

Name Origins & Meanings
  • Raven/Crow: From French corb (crow) or Old English corbin (raven), often linked to wisdom, mystery, or dark hair.
Cultural Significance
  • Symbolism: Associated with ravens, which in folklore represent wisdom, prophecy, and the supernatural.

Challenge accepted! Authentically Juvenile, Abnormally Joined, Another Jackass.
I like Another Jackass. At first I thought, no he is such a jackass he can't just be clumped in with other jackasses, then I thought about it. AJ is just like just about all other jackasses. Narcissistic with the belief that no matter the consequences of his actions that others have to deal with, it isn't that big a deal makes him nothing more than just another typical small minded jackass. So, Another Jackass is perfect.
