  1. On mat Refs have favored NLWC. The review panel has done a decent job.
  2. I obviously missed other thread and singlet pull.
  3. I was really disappointed in the officiating bias towards PSU. Not only did JB win 2 challenges in his match against Nolf, the officials refused to make Nolf engage for 2.5 minutes of 2nd period. He flat out ran with no passivity calls or better yet cautions. And it looked to me the mat official robbed Valencia. The quick replay I saw there was no singlet grab and he BEGGED for it to be confirmed. They should've went to review on their own to confirm. PSU is unreal and awesome. They had officiating on their side trying to make sure they win too!
  4. I don't think Lehigh gets #1 seed at 133. I believe it will go to Fix. We will see though.
  5. This is the correct answer. The interesting part is the 2 guys that wrestled and All American for OU lost in round of 12 their next shot and then transferred. Sad
  6. I too feel for Zan and hope he ends up loving his year at OU and decides to stay. Our RTC is non existent though and has been. We had better guys competing before we had an actual RTC. It's sad.
  7. @poorwrestler...quit trying to steal my Sooners
  8. I don't think Leonard was hired into position he has now. I think it started after Cody hired but I'm not 100% certain.
  9. If you go back and look Mark Cody had most his success when he 1st got there. Then Leonard arrived and the program has been going down. Lou finally started to get good kids and Leonard cans him and takes almost a month to replace him. Yet NDSU who didn't fire their coach was able to replace in 2 days. Joe C needs to connect the dots, read the tea leaves, just do his job and get a leader in that position. Looks really bad on Joe C with his non action IMO.
  10. Leonard deserves some grief yet if athlete signs a NLI they are required to show up or sit out. Portal is not an option. Woodley went into portal late. Why he was able to be blocked.
  11. @ionel dont do Billy like that!
  12. I had the wrong Zadick. They settled on Mike!
  13. NCAAs are well attended for 2 things stated. Support of school and sessions are short. Our pinnacle event is perfect for any spectator and even casual fans are good with it as there 2.5 hours. Break for 4 hours and back cheering again. It's the only event in wrestling set up for fan experience. Our kid events have more matches in 1 day than NCAAs over 3 days. Now we can't run high school events and kid events like NCAAs but a BIG reason it is so well attended is directly attributed to how it is set up for fans to eat and drink between sessions and late at night with late morning start times.
  14. What are the latest rumors coming out of Sin City? Obviously not Heflin with as long as it has been.
  15. It's a sad SAD time to be a Sooner wrestling fan. I was ok with decision to make a change but they've MESSED it up.
  16. Ionel you just brought a tear to my eye.
  17. Unfortunately there is a drawback in being a football powerhouse. Yes there are lots of donors but those people want to direct their funds to football. OU has had a few big whales for wrestling but when only a few they get too much say. Think of John Dupont. Horrible reference but you get picture. Spates was very successful but people wanted to beat OSU at nationals. He was chased out and Mark Cody didn't get the recruits and didn't sniff success Jack had. Then comes in Lou with a cupboard that was BARE and he finally got some kids in room yet went 3 years without an All American. Our room is good right now. Problem is organization in the program is non existant. OSU has been top dog in state for decades but Lou unfortunately soured a lot of the state against OU. Fan support has been poor and RTC support has been worse. Good news...If OU is able to get a leader that can organize the program with an Executive Director for RTC, great assistants, shake hands with donors, and galvanize fan base then OU can be back to getting trophies in as little as 3 years.
