Seriously wtf is this ref doing? Isn't it enough that our wrestlers are worse?

I'm ok with the stall calls (I would like to see more calls, generally) but that felt like a very ill-timed stalemate

[Pinnacle]

Kennedy is working hard and Haines is hardly breathing.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

How did Levi ever make 157

[Wrestleknownothing]

Haines takes down. Out in 8 secs.

Haines gets to the leg for a TD with 20 secs left and rides out the 2nd. 4-0

[Pa in Taiwan]

Brands tells Kennedy to go neutral to start the third period. Kennedy refuses, goes down, and immediately gets an escape.

Not that it makes a difference.

Not so fun when the DeSanto stall is called against Iowa, is it?

Fwiw it should have never been called. Outclassed does not mean stalling and that always drives me nuts.

Gotta hop in and say something about this before I head off to work graveyard shift tonight - 

This may be the most embarrassing beatdown from PSU that the hawks have gotten.  Every result is pretty disgusting to read. Between this & the Arnold stuff, my stance on dumping Brands is starting to shift ever so slightly.

huh? what broadcast are you watching? I did not see that on the stream

[Pa in Taiwan]

Kennedy shows some heart and prevents the major with the last-second escape.

[Wrestleknownothing]

PK out in 7 secs 4-1

Haines shoots and scores at the 1 minute mark 7-1. PK out. Haines in again. 10-2. Pk out. Ends 10-3. PK saves the MD with that last escape.

 

[Hammerlock3]

I gotta give sparks a little guff, "look at that forward pressure from Haines his shoe top digging into the mat"

[Pinnacle]

Kennedy avoids the major, loses by 7 to Haines. Mildly surprised he eacaped because Haines.

I'm listening to Iowa Wrestling is On the Air. Both Ironside and the other announcer mentioned that Brands was telling Kennedy to go neutral and he refused. 

[Mr. PeanutButter]

That was in response to the stalemate at 174.  The odds of Kennedy getting to Haines' leg was tiny to begin with, but a second time?

Actually, that was the difference in a way. Kept it to a dec.

at least starocci is too busy to commentate.

[Hammerlock3]

maybe don't show the table...

[VakAttack]

And just like that I'm muting the TV.

[RockLobster]

It's a more than expected thrashing, maybe thrashing x3.

But the good news is we've got 2 must watch matches coming up next.
