the problem is that he got pinned the same way DT got stuck by Bubba!!! Just not in the first period...
PSU - Nebraska '26 Match Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
hang on there, Taylor had an underhook more than PJ did. In freestyle that is effective
just another - " wish I could see those two go at it".... taken from Nolf/Zain and a few others
yea. this ref seemed to think if one shoots multiple times without the opponent shooting then that might be stalling. (IMO - sometimes that isn't)
the really crazy thing is Mitch is like 8th on the team in TDs ... no one had that on their bingo card going into the year
Agree with your take on Taylor’s stalling tactics but “maybe PSU needs to focus on trying to get stalling calls” sounds like a game plan cooked up in Iowa City. No thanks. Duke appeared to have less energy than normal — maybe tough weight cut this week or some extra hard training — doesn’t really matter as all part of training plan. I bet Cael is satisfied with that match — PJ is a better wrestler today as a result of that loss.
To really appreciate this proverb you have to visualize it : )
Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own. (Proverbs 26:17)
and your response after wrestling 5:55 to lose a heart breaker and then be, condescendingly tapped on the chest with a "nice try sparky" arrogance, would be???? While realizing there is a better response by Davis, I would bet money if one talked to Hardy today he would admit that he should not have done what he did.
Davis' life will be an hard and bumpy one should he continue down the path he is currently on indeed, but Hardy needs to realize that not everyone will react in the same manner he would under the same circumstances.
Too dangerous. Cstroke might want to become friends with benefits.
Not true. Hokit coiled both legs and was ready to kick Bo, and didn't only because Bo backed off.
I have to say that scrolling through these pages of posts is almost as funny as 3 stooges episodes. Lots of good stuff plus lots of filtering. Manatree,in my meaningless opinion,you are one for the good stuff.
Yeah that was a head scratcher.With respect to your comment about PJ -Beau comparison, I have to respectfully ask, are you watching the same matches I’m watching?
2 really good kids not wrestling at 157. Duke might have to take redshirt next year to allow Sealy to go 157(165), and Kasak moves up to 165(157).
Even a small dog is brave in front of his master’s house. Haitian proverb
It's not your wife, you're talking to yourself.
I think Gibbons made a comment on TV during one of the matches that a stall call changes how matches get wrestle. It is a point of frustration with me over the years. It was how my Avatar name was derived. I'm not an idiot fan that yells stalling when bottom man is getting pounded or top man isn't working hard for back points. However I do want refs to call stall when guys are walking the circle .
Not being ready is his problem to be honest. People can laugh but it's clear Cael wasn't pleased with how Braeden was handling his redshirting year. Especially since a year off but doing the right things would be a pretty good way to prove you're serious after clearly not being all in last year. I think it's frustrating to the coaches because the kid probably has another level to hit if he did some of the things his peers do.
Don't see mesenbrink moving up..
It is amazing. AJ does the splits while his team is losing. The coaches clearly try to stop him. That shows how little AJ cares about his coaches. He has no respect for them. "I am more important than you are" He may very well be too arrogant for even WWE.
Blaze was absolutely off: No way he is not at minimum a major decision better than Van Dee. He did not force the action enough. Davis absolutely was off: Regardless of what you do, you cannot gas out. Then if you gas, don't get yourself pinned. Shayne was off: again he got taken down in the first and this time it cost him a major decision. If it continues it's going to eventually cost him a match. PJ was definitely off. Damn right he is better than Taylor and he took a total of one committed shot all night. Levi was off: He had a brain fart and allowed a cheap takedown that cost him a comfortable win and needed that knee tap at the end. Josh was definitely off: He techs that guy 8 out of ten times and he also gassed.
So yeah...we were off and as a matter of fact Cael himself said so in the post match presser
A guy named Yanni begs to differ. Uncalled for speculation.
PJ is a true freshman, there are going to be a few bumps in the road to his national title.
I would not be the least but surprised to hear someday that PJ beat Kasak in a wrestleoff.
At the very least they are very close or Cael, wouldn't have gone with PJ. Kasak was the best 157 last year IMO, and inexplicably was gassed and hit a wall against Blaze. The will both be twin champs soon enough, but saying that one match against an absolute stud implies anything much is just ballyhoo!
The only thing PJ needs to do to beat Taylor next time is watch how Mitch always beats Amine: You know the other guy isn't taking you down so you throw the kitchen sink at him in the first and go get your two stsol calls. Now you have a one point cushion and the other guy knows it and is forced into not wrestling his match. I absolutely guarantee the next time they wrestle, PJ forces two stall calls on Taylor.
Its not really the outcome of the matches. Its how the guys looked getting there.
I thought Barr gassed late. Maybe he was upset he lost the tech fall.
SVN looked sloppy in the beginning, but that seems to be a habit for him.
Levi didnt have his best stuff.
PJ looked gassed.
Davis gassed. But that also seems to be a consistent issue with him.
Everyone else looked good. Even Cole.
I was there. I also know a lil bit inside with the team. Stiles absolutely was spent as well, he has the biggest cut on the team besides Bouzakis, had to cut 7 pounds this week and wasn’t a great one this time around. Everything with the team was weird this week with all their flights back in being delayed because of the weather etc.. same for a lot of teams I’m sure. I saw Stiles after and he was being checked for concussion symptoms but he seemed ok. Was actually in pretty good spirits. It amazes me at times when I see these high level Division 1 athletes who are cordial and even graciously humble after defeat. I want to fight my wife if I lose to her in Monopoly.
I was at the match, my friend said Duke used the same attack throughout the bout.
I'm thinking MM might bump up. Not a lot of people thought Nickal would go up his Senior year . We'll see. Somewhere they will need to get creative to keep the rostered talent.
I was in section 113. To my right was the Nebraska contingent. They were a little far away so I couldn't hear exactly what was being said. There was this one male Neb fan that was really stirring up the pot. Antagonizing the fans around him.
Even when the Neb guys was getting decked he was popping off. He had this banner that he would raise when something positive happened. He also started the Go Big Red chants.
I wonder if he made it out safely.
