Jimmy Cinnabon Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) 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?

Mr. PeanutButter Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3UC157 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestMan Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 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?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJB Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 It’s adorable that two biggest “fan” bases in folk prefer to argue over who stalls more… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
