I blinked and it was Doucet 3-0. Did he actually get a TD? Like all by himself? Without overtime?

I read your post above but I don’t see how it would lead to more action. That’s what I’ve been asking you to explain. If that is your explanation that’s fine, I just don’t see it. More riding time points means a strong top wrestler is going for boots, spiral, ankle ride, or similar every time so they can sit on top. There will be no action because the guy can’t get out. Currently that’s called as stalling for no action. Without stalling it’s a stalemate for no action. Several holds are just hard to get out of regardless of score or determination. In your scenario, Wrestler 1 gets an early 1st period TD, 3-0. They ride for 150 seconds, 8-0. Second period they choose top, stall their way to a ride out, it’s 12-0 to start the third period with one takedown in the match. More points, yes. But significantly changes the focus of folkstyle from takedowns to riding. And I don’t see how it would increase action overall.

That’s how I read it too. But curious to hear it out if he cares to explain.

Bro chill I am genuinely interested in your explanation. I’ve never heard anybody propose that multiple riding time points would increase action.

Can you explain how it would lead to more action?

More riding time points available would mean more stalemate calls with neither top or bottom wrestler progressing.

I see this too. Don't understand why there aren't more double stall calls. And don't get me started on the out-of-bounds stall calls. What gets called as stalling vs action is arbitrary AF.

Will freshmen Troy Spratley and Brayden Thompson continue to separate themselves from the competition? Broadcast on ACC Network Extra. No idea what that means - maybe ESPN?

I haven't seen any stall calls on top even when the top guy is clearly doing nothing. One way to enforce what they want and remove the subjective nature of stall calls is to let the bottom guy up after x amount of time. Or what was discussed earlier, no riding time point unless you also have near fall points.

Hilarious to think that someone would lob an italian slur at him or that he'd hear a hispanic/black/asian slur and think it was for him. Next interview he'll be saying that somebody insulted his momma.

So is there any evidence that NC State is dry? Or just a repeated rumor.

Yeah. VV started strong at OSU last year, then gradually lost his offense. Really frustrating to watch.

It's kind of sad, really. The dad has probably dreamed of his 3 sons wrestling at the same program for their entire lives. Unfortunately he's raised a minimum of two sociopaths and the family appears to enjoy the death grip he has on their futures.

Anthony didn't have much to offer, it seems.

Happy about this one! Think I stood the entire time, lol. Cowboys wrestled smart and tough to win 7/10 matches and get two upsets.

Hey look another topic that’s been discussed to death and the answer is easily found with 20 seconds of Googling! Let’s gooooooooo

Jack didn’t do a thing on top for almost two minutes and got no stall calls. Will stalling ever get figured out?

Ooh. Thanks. And gross! Cmon.

I did and couldn't make sense of who's accusing who of what.

I asked in the other thread. Nothing yet. Maybe it's okay to be left out lol

Can someone explain what this is about. I am supremely confused.

Names for OSUs aside, here’s a rundown on Friday’s dual between OSU and NC State. 125 Spratley #20 v. Camacho #17 133 Fix #3 v. Orine #5 141 Jamison #7 v. Jack #4 149 William #19 v. Arrington #3 157 Travis #23 v. Scott #5 165 Olejnik #2 vs.Fields #18 174 Thompson #28 v. Faison #31 184 Plott #3 v. Fishback #5 197 Surber? #12 v. Hidlay #4 285Doucet #11 v. Trephan #16 Rankings are by Intermat. Just based on rankings alone it is a 5/5 split. It is in NC and it may come down to bonus pts. As an OSU fan I’m nervous about this one but hopefully our guys rise to the occasion and get some upsets.

Or any other college wrestling program, seems like. to be fair I haven’t even seen evidence that NC State is no tolerance dry besides people saying “I think NC State is dry” on forums.

Any proof (lol, dad joke) that that’s actually true? I haven’t heard of anybody else being a candidate for Coleman’s position but who knows.

I’m trying to imagine any Ferrari not acting up in the room or playing by their own rules… it’s not working lol
