Real Woods Ankle Ride???

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Iowa fans, isn’t the ankle ride employed by beloved Hawkeye 141 pounder Real Woods the same Penn State stall ride that Iowa fans abhor and condemn?

yeah, dont that suck? 

if its not gonna get called... might as well use it

I continue to abhor the ankle ride (as well as double boots in) regardless of the wrestler. Real should have been called for stalling. He would have won anyways because he's the better wrestler.

Doesn't matter. We learned recently that officials won't call top stalling

The VA Tech / Pitt ref did a nice job calling mat stalling and being vocal with wrestlers.

“You’re head is staying on the mat”

”Same position too long”

”Not working to improve”

Etc.

Will Iowa fans call for stalling the next time they see Real Woods ride the ankle?  I doubt it.

Have you ever seen a fan base call for stalling on their own guy?

They should if they truly hate stalling.

No, but a coach has

"Gable repeatedly mentioned the significance of the words engraved at the base of the statue: “(No) stalling…execute…contribute forever…in sport and in life.” He says he was known to persuade officials to warn his own wrestlers for stalling, and if done at the proper time, it would help his Hawkeyes realize important principles."

So it’s a deep rooted Iowa tradition. Hawks fans should bring it back.

In Missouri, we call hooking the near ankle, the "Iowa" ride.  

I once took a team from Missouri up and wrestled in a tournament in southern Iowa.  The officials were letting the wrestlers hook and sit on the ankle and I eventually shouted out to the official about the stall tactic.  One of the spectators on the first row yelled out: "You do know your in Iowa, right?"

It’s adorable that two biggest “fan” bases in folk prefer to argue over who stalls more…
