Truzzcat Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I am also not a PSU fan but ultimately it will count as a win and not effecting seeding in anyway also kinda evens out the illegal cutback Vinnie hit on him at dapper dan I guess. I just think this reaction time thing is crazy I personally did not think it was even a position where danger needed to be counted I thought he was on his back long enough that it was just a takedown. 3

They get a lot of trash calls. They get dang near ALL the 50/50 calls. Your Cael is quiet logical fallacy isn't worth attention. I don’t think his wrestling accomplishments have anything to do with it. Does John Smith get a lot of trash calls too? I wouldn’t say Cael being relatively quiet on the bench necessarily helps him, but I could understand if acting like an idiot like guys like Brands, Manning and Bono do might make refs NOT want to give them 50/50 calls. Can you provide some examples of other “trash” calls? A couple that come to mind for me are Hidlay/Nolf and Max Dean the year he won. But those are things you can probably count on one hand over a period of like 5 years. 1
peanut Posted February 3 Posted February 3 There are controversial and bad calls in every sport at every level. It’s a good reason to not put too much stock on the results of what is — in the end — a game. Try going outside, or learning a new skill, or reconnecting with your wives, or finally going to therapy. 1

Just for the sake of being fair. Have you ever coached wrestling at any level. Say ,youth,high school or at the collegiate level? What level of wrestling did you personally compete at? 1

I've literally seen fans gets calls by insulting the ref for being bald so I'm gonna say your just waxing bs to defend PSU. Being quiet is not getting them calls. Period.

This is called deflection. It's not that important guys seriously, do or talk about anything else. Take your own advice and see yourself out if you don't like the discussion that we are all here for voluntarily. Don't yuck our yum daddio. 1

Being quiet is not getting them calls. Period. Lol I am by no means a PSU fan and like I said this call was “trash,” and I usually try to defend the refs. A youth referee may get rattled by being yelled at, but D1 refs won’t. Again, I wouldn’t necessarily say that Cael is “getting” calls, it’s that other coaches may be “losing” them by acting like idiots. Although Ryan usually isn’t too bad so I don’t think that applies in this instance. 1

Your perspective that it's just a game? Killkearys perspective? For whom it could have lasting consequences on his life long dream? The seeding comittees? In the context of this sport it matters. Save the what really matters speech for Mrs America.

Tom Ryan is all class as you said. On that we can agree.
TylerDurden Posted February 3 Posted February 3 13 hours ago, PSULou64 said: The refs felt that there was no control so they counted danger but it didn't make the count. Doesn't really matter what we think but I can see both sides. If it had been ruled a takedown they probably wouldn't have overturned it. Just is what it is sometimes. You can say it was a bad call.
nhs67 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Hey guys, I just checked again and it still appears that Davis did in fact have his hand raised after a 4-3 Decision victory over Kilkeary. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

1032004 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Same ref as last night.. Clear NF missed at 6:15, although in the ref’s defense they reviewed this in the booth and did not overturn… 1

The nicely-tanned Hidley cried after the match because he realized the universe conspired against him. 1
