Did Starocci duck Griffith?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

He admitted not wrestling was a last minute decision and he was ready to go and not injured or sick.  What gives?

Not what he admitted at all. He said he had health complications.

Did Kasak duck Mayora 

Fauxbon Connabon 

[blueandgold]

Lol how is the #1-ranked three-time national champion ducking anyone?

[Caveira]

By not wrestling high end competition?   
 

bla bla grow the sport and the like?

[TylerDurden]

Yes. Starocci was clearly ducking. He's scared. Thanks for the thread. 

[WildTurk]

He sounded real humble in his interview with Flo when he was "sick" last night. 

 

Shows up for the interview to talk smack about Griffith but can't wrestle.  Outstanding

When other teams do it it’s bad for the sport.  It’s not what the fans want.  Duals and big matchups matter.  Grow the sport.  Start 50 threads about ducking.   Etc.     
 

when psu does it.   Meh.   Y’all have some double standards.

cinnabon accidently goes too meta and says the truth.....

Yep, he was hit with The Shakes and is now terrified to get on the mat with anyone or any school who has an "I" in their name.

It is terrible, a phobia like this. He won't be going against iowa or the like ever again. Oklahoms is OK... when the wind comes sweeping down the plains. And the waving wheat sure smells sweet when the wind comes right behind the rain...

This will hurt him in because he won't be able to do Freestyle against wrestlers from Iran, India or the like.

Such a sad end to a promising career...

You realize that a self-evidently ridiculous paraphrase of your opponents argument isn’t an argument  right?

you can just scream “sarcasm” and declare victory.

No double standard here. I am as big a PSU fan as you will ever find, perhaps the biggest. And I have been clear about how lazy and stupid all of the ducking commentary is.

I can think of one clear duck, when Zeke Jones pulled a geared up Schultz from matside. Other than that...a bunch of lazy crap. In a sport where every single participant gets injured at least once we want to prwtend they never get injured. Or have to deal with health complications. Or get sick. Or whatever.

According to Starocci it was a combination of health complications and leveling up in life that kept him off the mat last night.

Shakur Rasheed ducked Zahid, which gave Cael one of his 2 losses since 2015

[1032004]

I believe the rule we decided on themat was only missing one match should be considered a duck.  So if he wrestles Sunday, duck.

Thank you for making my point.

Edsell was scheduled to wrestle but failed the skin check. Rasheed was recovering from knee surgery.

Didn't he say he could've gone Fri and then that he might go Sunday.

If it talks like a duck it must be ...

Just a little off topic here...

BUT,

I figured that I tried to FIND a fish picture...

Wearing a mask like Bane...

But the best I could find was this:

I tried fishbane... but the results were too far and between them all (not much.)

For those who think we are claiming sheer cowardice when we say they might have ducked griffith, thats not how it is. 

At this level, where everything will be forgotten after march, Cael may have decided its stupid to give a dangerous guy like Griffith 3 feels on starocci. I don't care if you don't think thats the case in this instance, but all these guys think like this and they all do it on occasion.
