VakAttack Posted February 19 Author Posted February 19 Meant to come back to this, because people were critiquing Arnold for only winning 8-6 against Liegel. 1. He's a true freshman 2. He's wrestling up a weight. 3. It's his second ranked win at 184 despite, again, not being a 184 lber. 4. It was only close because he was trying to get to a major.

This is something I've observed from the 3pt td that don't think we were expecting. It looks like its going to be easy to get the major, wrestler pushes for it gives up 3 instead of getting 3 now in danger of losing. Olejnik had similar today was at 7-0 with ~2 in riding time mid 2nd, coaches thinking tf have him cut doesn't get td so 7-1 start 3rd cuts again ends up no take down 8-2 loses the major going for the tech. He could've easily road the kid entire 3rd to hold the major. 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC
Caveira Posted February 19 Posted February 19 6 hours ago, buckshot said: What an accomplishment! They ducked at 125, beat unranked guys at 133 and 141 and then cried themselves to a victory at 149. Iowa wrestling is teaching today's youth to avoid tough matchups and then cheat to win if you're in trouble. It's no wonder they're dropping in the rankings and getting out-recruited. Psu barely wrestles a schedule. Constantly on the fringe of barely making rpi. When they duck people it’s Cale’s magic or prepping for an Olympic cycle. It’s purely hypocritical on the blue colored glasses fans. How many mid season duckers from psu wrestled at senior national als in December. Remember when beard needed to see what wrestling at psu was like so Carl gifted him an easy win. if Ayala was sick. Good for him. If he wasn’t. It was a duck. See how hard that is. I’m an Iowa fan and can admit maybe it was a duck. Fun state fans can’t. 1

Its a moot point now since he lost, but i whole heartly disagree with the strategy of getting 2 takedowns being easier than 1 escape and a td in that specific scenario. Basically what youre saying is in your opinion Boni gave the right coaching strategy.

Basically what youre saying is in your opinion Boni gave the right coaching strategy. There's more math in play. Your opponent evidently hurt his knee and may have trouble defending on his feet. If you let him take top he can just go into a claw ride not use his knee and take 30/40 seconds off the clock leaving very little time to get a takedown and prob no chance of a stall call (one at most if backing up at end). Go on feet have more than twice as much time to get takedowns also time to get 2 stall calls if only defending, favoring that leg and backing up. Might even get lucky with feet to back. If you moneyball this with all the probabilities of stall call, td, time etc you chose neutral. Do I think Bono went thru all the math - no, but he made the right call by luck or intuition.

But he clearly DIDNT make the right call because Zargo ended up losing. I honestly think Bono was too busy screaming and fighting with the ref he lost his focus and made the wrong call, you think he made the right one and Zargo almost ended up getting majored because of it.

No evidence Zargo wins with the other call and the math says less likely. The screaming Bono doesn't affect the math. 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC

In my experience, it is more difficult to get 2 takedowns in 1 minute than it is to get an escape and a takedown. The other variables you mentioned like stallings and mistakes can all happen in both scenarios. Edited February 19 by BIGTENFANBOY

1032004 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 FRL mentioned Cassioppi and Assad participated in senior day activities but Brands did not. Maybe he’s back next year?
1032004 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 When Rathjen got the second takedown, was Bono still yelling about the earlier call or was he mad about something else?
