    Then you went weirdly defensive and declared anyone who didn't like it was whining and inventing conspiracies. I am fine with neither of those being pins. I am fine with them both being pins. I am not okay with one being a pin and the other not being a pin in the same match. You can't be that quick with the trigger after being that slow. It's not a conspiracy, it's just bad reffing.
  2. boconnell
    This looks like a pin to you? It looks like the same reffing from when Haines was on his back?
  3. boconnell
    You've got to be wearing some very blue glasses to come to that conclusion.

    The speed he calls the fall for Haines compared to not calling it for Andonian earlier is awful. Congrats to Haines, but that's absurd from the ref.
  5. boconnell
    Seriously. He was painted.

    This review should have lasted about 5 seconds.
  7. boconnell
    Wow. So happy to see a guy beat after picking neutral in the 2nd ride out.
  8. boconnell
    The strategy for countering that probably starts with escaping when you're on bottom.
  9. boconnell
    Some great matches already.

    I thought the blood round was Friday night?

    As an Oklahoma State fan I'm used to being on the other side of irrational bottom choices.
  12. boconnell
    He was competitive in neutral in a 0-0 1st period. Then he got reversed in like 2 seconds and ridden for 1:58 without ever getting off his belly that entire time. He responded to that by choosing bottom and getting ridden for another 2 minutes without coming close to a point. Bottom was perhaps a bad choice there.

    He has a surprisingly good gas tank for a guy who quit the sport, got fat, and came back at a higher weight than he's ever wrestled.

    I was worried Carter Young might be affected by the injury, but he just turned his own good shot into the other guys takedown, so it looks like he is healthy.
  15. boconnell
    Seriously. He scores a TD with 90 seconds left and then wastes a minute with a bad job letting the guy up that turns into a reversal for Byrd. Could have just gone neutral and had an actual chance at points.
  16. boconnell
    Math checks out.

    That doesn't stop the pin. Only the Air Force coach throwing a brick while his guy was pinning created the review. Glad the refs let common sense rule.
  18. boconnell
    What about when a lower seed from Air Force sticks a higher seeded Michigan guy? How do strength of schedule and conference play in there?
  19. boconnell
    Yep. He didn't even consider trying to initiate an attack in OT.
  20. boconnell
    Wrestlestat has him at 1-5 against guys ranked in the top 45, so not sure there was any way to seed him higher.
  21. boconnell
    Good job addressing a non-problem.
  22. boconnell
    You are correct that in basketball they give you an unopposed opportunity to score. I am not sure that is the same as choice in wrestling, but it's close. In football they give yardage. That's not anything like choice in wrestling.

    Plus Carr had both hands on O'Toole's near hand and kept him from covering the near leg while he was reaching for the far one. I thought that was obviously not a TD. But I agree Carr's 3rd period TD was a bit questionable. It certainly 'looked' and 'felt' like a TD, but not sure how it's supposed to be officiated. O'Toole was holding a leg but was laying on his hip while being folded in half with both legs trapped. Do we have a ref that can weigh in on that one.
  24. boconnell
    I agree. I was rooting for Carr and both were stalling. Both also seemed unnecessary.
  25. boconnell
    On both takedowns he was so patient. Never slow enough to get stalemated, but never fast enough to give O'Toole much to scramble with.
