New Rule for Penn State?

[AgaveMaria]

Watching a few of the Penn State matches and am sure NCAA will come out with a new rule for them. Must have at least 2 headgear in reserve matside for each wrestler.

PSU doesn't use Lung Time Outs - they have the headgear trick.

I'm sure that's the secret to Mitch Mesenbrink's gas tank.

So the joke used to be when a guy untied his shoes to get a breather, it was called a "Big 8 break". Now we have the "Penn State break".

Screw with the snap. Stretch the bracing pieces - whatever it takes to get a minute or more of rest while talking with your coach and sipping a martini matside.

Yeah, that's been their secret all these wins and titles.  Totally explains everything.

Idk. It looks like they are playing a different sport than everybody else. They make stuff that's hella hard look like they are drilling. Yesterday, Brooks was running a middle school style bar-half. I thought Stieber freakish when he did it on light weights. Wtf.

So, when people try to snap Brooks down, his neck is so strong that something has to give, and it's often his headgear. It's happened to him quite a few times.

That said: why wasn't Davis stalling when he was burying his head while Deaugustino was digging in underhooks? 

Btw that inside trip attempt was ..  ummm "ill-advised"(?) If would have been cool- looking if it worked, I guess. But that put the circus in crazymfncircusmove.

It is generally because guys don't wear their headgear during practice, so when they are in a match it doesn't fit like it would if they were forced to wear it all the time.  

I'm not sure if this is what happens to PSU, but definitely in high school.

Honestly I was yelling at him through my tv just like I do to our high school wrestlers when they pull stuff like that... it's maddening when he has to know that wasn't going to work and instead of bailing out he just goes to his back...

 

I forget who it was yesterday but one wrestler was interviewed after overtime and he just said "Ive learned things like a good sprawl can win matches" it's so true but people still go for these crowd pleasers sometimes when it doesn't take anything outside of the basics to win...

 

I say this as I lay on my couch nursing a sore neck from sleeping on it wrong...
