@ethancarlmusic @CPyles8 He got punked before the head push. The only way he could get the kid back for punking him was to punch him from behind. This is not justice. If he would have fought him face to face then maybe.

@ToddWebste57079 @MatScouts1 You would have to get Cael to beat Penn state.

@SpeyWrestle It certainly won't make viewership lower

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@fiore50 @wrestlingnomad @ShaneSparksBTN A second award is intriguing but will probably just diminish the hodge

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@notawrestler_x @wrestlingnomad @matbomber42 @wrestlingbypir8 Not making that quality of competition a criteria or hodge is not ignoring the quality of competition. It's not that it's difficult to quantify, it's that it doesn't seem possible to, thus should be irrelevant.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@matbomber42 @notawrestler_x @wrestlingnomad @wrestlingbypir8 Returning NCAA champs low AA or DNP all the time. Not a good argument.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@patcolicchio @SpeyWrestle @jayborschel If the step out didn't stop action and both wrestlers could still score after the point was awarded then it wouldn't ruin edge wrestling, just make it even more exciting when it happened.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@notawrestler_x @matbomber42 @wrestlingnomad @wrestlingbypir8 133 picked up 4 big freshman and didn't really lose anyone from last year. 157 picked up Duke, Robidaeu, Larkin, but lost Kasak and Blaze. Both were considered down weights last year. 133 got significantly better. 157 not much of a change.
Is there such thing as a best weight?

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@wrestlingnomad @notawrestler_x @matbomber42 @wrestlingbypir8 I agree 100% Every weight class is roughly the same. 133 is top heavy with the big 4 freshman. 184 same. 157 only Duke separated himself. Larkin and Robidaeu were still in close or losing matches with guys like watters, Zerban, Webster, etc. Last year 157 seemed weak too.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@notawrestler_x @matbomber42 @wrestlingnomad @wrestlingbypir8 It is way too subjective to call one weight better than another. You aren't supposed to use freestyle or past NCAA results. Quality of competition should not be a criteria for the hodge. Should just be bonus straight up.

@scarletharrier @jasonnolf @Benaskren Better scrambling isn't worse for the sport but the rules should even be with the wrestling. The average national qualifier these days would just wreck the average all American from 20 years ago.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@jimsteele696969 @jasonnolf For most of these guys I argue it's worse than 50/50 more likely to get taken down if they shoot than not.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@jasonnolf And more dangerous to shoot. We need a partial takedown, an alternative way to score. Best way to do that is a step out point. Just don't stop action when the step out happens and allow both guys to score after the step out. True continuation.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@MatScouts1 @ChrisNkyw @johnnidijulius Clearly we have all watched the matches

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@MatScouts1 @johnnidijulius Its the legislation we need to fix. Not the refs and wrestlers attitudes

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@MatScouts1 @johnnidijulius Currently our legislation is driving kids to not wrestle. It's not because they don't want it bad enough. Everyone is scared to lose. Rules should encourage you to wrestle even though you might lose. Right now if you don't wrestle you might not lose. You might win in TB.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@johnnidijulius What do you think of having a step out but don't stop action let both wrestlers score after the step out until both wrestlers are fully out? True continuation. Ref can call it dead if action completely stops. Also reset the step out by one guy stepping inside the inner circle.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@johnnidijulius Love this. But I think we should push for the step out even if there is a chance we get a bad outcome. I think we need some sort of partial takedown, and that's what happened with freestyle. Push out is a partial takedown.

[David Jarman @gasfrombottom]

@handsometuesda9 Its his first title and his only chance to lose was to shoot on the kid that had been backing the entire match. It's not like Merrill was going to shoot on him.
