Settle at 344. I have no problem with that at all
To that point, I've seen that happen a lot this year actually. It's really frustrating.
My kids like him. He came on the screen and they thought he was Wreck-It Ralph.
So is Snyder from Ohio State. They both have more agility in their styles than traditional heavyweights. The one thing that I hate about Snyder that the refs let him get away with is driving opponents out. Refs call his opponents, like Walz, for stall calls when Snyder wasn't wrestling he was just pushing them out.
Cauliflower ear is nasty.
Edit: Seriously why do these kids still have this going on? Headgear should prevent that.
good question. I have no idea.
is there a tiebreaker or co-3rd place finish?
I understand with what you are saying but to me, it DOESN'T depend on his decision. I will be incredibly upset if he leaves. However, Buzz is Buzz. I'm not even going to try to figure out what makes him tick. If you listen to his radio interview, he said he would do what is best for his family. Unlike most coaches out there, I believe him and I respect him. If Buzz stays (and I think he will stay), I'll be ecstatic. If he leaves, I'll be upset about MY loss and Tech's loss but I will thank him for making the program relevant again. I will not blast the man and say negative things about him because he has given his all to the Hokies.
You say Buzz shouldn't have a decision to make but he does. What would you do if you had a similar opportunity? Stay for the fans, players, and university or do what's best for your family? College basketball is a business. Whit is a businessman and hopefully will make this a moot point.
no bonus. we're tied for third and will stay there unless Snyder becomes the first heavyweight to beat NCSU's Gwizdiowski in the last 2+ years.
Kid is an animal. One of the few heavyweights actually worth watching.
Bonus points?
edit: and was that the 11 seed guy or the 2 seed? edit 2: reading is fundamental.
I know that hurts us, but that PSU guy has the worst hair in America. I love seeing these guys run into the stands and hug their parents.
Rooting for Gwiz is hard but I am going to do it.
Looks like the 11th seed Miles Martin (Ohio St) beat the top seed Bo Nickal (PSU), so OSU has caught us. We're still on the podium, though, which is really awesome.
AirplaneBottleofBourbon described it really well. The scoring is mainly based on control rather than body position. Body position comes in to play when looking at back points or a pin.
SOB!
Could have been even better but NC State had a rough tournament relative to expectations. Coming in I thought they had a stronger tournament team than we did even though we had the better dual meet team.
Thanks. A bruised rib would fit what I saw.
And this is exactly why they originally planned to redshirt Hamilton. With his height, he is an ok shot blocker and rebounder, but obviously needed/needs work on his offensive game and in his positioning on the defensive end.
He looks like the son of Ted Cruz and the Zodiac Killer.
This, Grayson Allen getting face-punched (hopefully) will make my weekend a lot better. Would've been nice if Butler could've closed the deal.
Wikipedia has a good summary on how points are scored, but a takedown doesn't have to be taking someone down. A better term would be back control. Getting behind the other guy is what gets you the takedown.
Bored with the basketball at this point...switching to wrestling. To make the podium as a team in NCAA championship is awesome!
Why are there points for not taking them to the ground? That last match between Illinois and PSU wrestler seemed more slap happy and attempts than actually doing anything.
It is extremely unfair. There is a difference between being pushed out and backing out. Officials have to recognize the difference, which is very difficult in many cases.
