    On top of that they actually called stalling on Hartleroad when he was trying to control Smith who was running to escape! Smith backed up all over the mat but was able to turn so he backed up to the edge and then backed to the center.

    I had saved my coffee cup and sandwich wrapper and was trying to start a fire when a security guard walked by and frowned at me.

    The hen is the wisest of all birds, because she doesn't cluck until after the egg is laid.

    "A bit cooler..." LOL. I didn't get the memo despite following this site for the last three months. I have been to scores of wrestling events and hundreds of basketball games over the last 60 years and I have never been in an arena or fieldhouse that cold! I'm glad your seats were great and I hope they were in the section you requested.

    One tip for future state finals: don't use Ford Center again! People in our section were bringing blankets for the second day. They were wearing their hoodies up and their coats all day. I understand Evansville may not be accustomed to Indiana winters, but that was ridiculous. The Fort Wayne Coliseum has experience hosting hockey games all winter and I have never frozen at a hockey game there like I did this weekend. The city of Evansville was beautiful, though.

    Some folks around here are very sensitive when you even joke about their picks! I'll just copy yours, except I will pick Beck at 285 to get credit for beating Clark this time.

    My father was a basketball coach for 50 years and he told me what one of his former players told him: Long after the scores of the games are forgotten, you remember the good times you had with the guys. Next month will be 58 years since that part of my life ended and I find myself thinking back on all the funny things we shared as a team, and I realize how much more I value those memories than the conference and tournament trophies we won. The pain of your loss will fade with the years, but the memories of the team will remain.

    From a sweatshirt: Wrestling - Because other sports only need one ball.

    But it took one minute for him to admit those quick stalling calls are fake, and next match to complain about the stall call on CP! Not criticizing the announcing, just disagreeing on stalling calls.

    Cruz defeated Wurm last year, but as Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day!"

    I gotta agree with you, the hot dogs were great!

    Since it involves the big toe, taping is not likely to do much good. I would strongly recommend consultation with a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon as nonunion could lead to long term consequences. Most such injuries would be treated with a rigid platform shoe, which shows how seriously medical professionals view such injuries. I am sorry to hear of your son's injury and wish him well.

    Thanks!

    How are power poll points determined?

    OK, if I gotta fix freestyle too, when the guy on bottom goes turtle and pulls in his hands so you can't turn him and the ref lets him get up I think you have to give his opponent a point for the "nonescape." Never seen Greco, so I can't fix that, if it even needs fixing. Maybe during the faceoff we could dim the lights and have smoke and the Undertaker chimes... nah!
  18. Steve Smith
    could be. i will watch for it.

    Actually, I have seen more HS wrestlers looking to turn and more college wrestlers looking for riding time, especially heavyweights. I agree with the 4 point 5 count near fall and it would have been my second suggestion.

    High school done so I gotta watch college. Almost as ridiculous as freestyle with 2 points with each flip. Get rid of riding time in college wrestling. 3 points for takedown. Now if you get an escape and another escape after choosing down on period 2 you are still 1 point down. Now you still have to take him down to win. No more lying on top to get points instead of trying to turn. OK, hit me!

    Compare with the call from the semis with Paul Clark when Jones had both hands on the mat near the end of period 2 and no takedown was awarded.

    Bollinger took Horn out 8-1 at semistate with the 1 being when Bollinger cut him to start the second period. And that was the best performance against Bollinger I saw all season. What surprised me was Rioux and Dickman both being so good!

    Delta?

    They wrestled for thirty seconds on mat 1 before starting the clock at the beginning of one match, so I guess they don't take timing too seriously here. Nobody scored, so I guess it didn't matter...
