Scouts Honor

AGREED!

i dont disagree, simply asking... why aren't they attacking as much against lewan. seems a winning strategy.

and to think so many on here want college to become freestyle. you just described the new stay in the center strategy for freestyle. sounds boring. I challenge you to count the number of attacks by both wrestlers. i agree levi has more bonus this year... but why won't he attack lewan?

someone posted a video of an extended MM interview. I can't find it now. I thought it was it's own thread. anyway, i think his words are perfect. it surprises me to think that most aren't aware of these thoughts or ideas. I used these same types of things in coaching in the 90's. (MM's dad was a hs coach so maybe he gets it from him) I told my wrestlers I didn't care if they won or lost. I only wanted them to try to improve their position constantly and work as hard as they could to score points in any situation. I wanted them to think/react to/about what was next... not about the last situation but what happens now. If Cael is the only one preaching this, then it's easy to see why PSU is better than anyone else. But I think it's more : you can't make chicken salad out of chicken _ _ _ _. or it's not about the x's and o's its about the jimmies and joes.

like button!

i find it interesting that no one points at the guys who wrestle him. (why aren't they attacking?)(don't tell me Haines had more attacks than lewan in the final) and many who wrestle just like him. one person said in another thread whether you are 3-24 or 21-3.. haines can take you to OT.

i like the edge and out of bounds wrestling. you can't escape the mat. i can still pin you out of bounds. (think about the 2 foot rule in NFL makes for some fantastic highlights....same for wrestling... one toe in... takedown!) in free, if something touches out of bounds... back to the center. let them wrestle.

Hi @russelscout i have an update on something that we dm'd each other about a long time ago.

in freestyle it is... if the score is 0-0 someone goes on the clock

not in my book.

oh i thought this would be about prostate trouble

i agree with this... but it was hardly uncommon, in my mind. back then there were myriad political battles fought. the book 'wrestlers at the trials'? has some interesting insights into how the team was picked over the history of the olympic trials. https://www.amazon.com/Wrestlers-At-Trials-wrestling-1960-1988/dp/0979905109

which is even more #$(*&($&%(*&#*(

you are referring to the hardy match correct? where the PSU wrestler said ouch, the ref stopped it... and did not require injury time or choice?

desanto was actually hurt and gave up the position to choice... so... not really the same.

Davis is a superstar?

blinders they have blinders

can't both be true?

athletes in general. especially high level athletes like college wrestlers

bigger, faster, stronger was correct. take a look at the guys that way 225 today compared to 225 in yesteryear then look at 300 pounders no debate. today they are faster and stronger

but why does the NCAA love her

did he peak too ealry i kid i kid

who is christina

yeah.. how could i forget

oh yeah... my bad.. duh
