So, the refs are just comparing their memories of what happened during challenges? Cool!

has Peacock heard of this thing called replay?

He just doesn't seem to want it anymore

Maybe on NBC, they are all on Peacock

When he learns how to know the score with :20 left in the third, he'll be something

Whatever it is, I want to keep it at a distance.

Penn St fans are something

Mat one not showing for me except on quad view - they are really inept

They are making one hell of a first impression on potential customers!

Yup, thought they were running heavy equipment on the street. That and the video problems make me wonder - is Flo running this for Peacock?

In the semis.

Da Comrade, Da.

I'd give NU a slight edge in degree value. Not because it's a better school, but because though UM is a great school, like all huge state U's, it's little easier to skate through if you want. Smaller private schools, in my experience, tend to make that a bit more difficult. But this is a nit-pick, and overall, I heartily agree with your take.

Slav ought to head to NU. Great grad programs. C'mon, be a trendsetter.

Well, Dake certainly hoping Sidakov gets the same treatment.

Worse academically? I think NU is ahead or at worst equal with Cornell. If you mean athletically, I agree.

You're bringing back memories of the computer center in Tech basement at NU. Put my stack of cards in the cubby and see what came back!

Of that long list, Nolf and Starocci are the only ones with a decent shot at JB. KOT has a minor shot. The rest none at all. IMHO of course.

mid-late 70's of the last century!

I've avoided commenting as maybe the only NU alum/ex wrestler on here, but I agree with much of what was said. I think the loss of assistants has hurt. I think the mass transfer hurt. The graduation of Deakin and Yahya hurt. From the private school in the B10 that could compete with the big boys, we sort of fell off a cliff, and lost that shine. I think Matt is a good coach and the kids like him. But in the NIL area things are going to be tougher. We're not going to get top-level transfers unless they want a top level grad school - and no one is going to go to NU Law or Kellogg and have the time to be a top B10 wrestler. As for academics, I can see kids thinking that school might cut into their training time, but that's not gonna change. Stanford has the problem to an even greater degree, and they are managing. No simple solutions here. Going to take a lot of incremental steps and then hopefully a breakthrough with a few kids who can put the shine back on the program.

I was answering a question. I agree, he stopped attacking in the last 20 secs. That's why I said "in full". If he hadn't, I think there is a (very) small chance a stall was called.

I think if he had kept the pace up with Carr not engaging for the last 50 seconds in full, there was a small chance they call the stall. The last thing Carr wanted was a scramble, so it may have been obvious enough.

I can. Can't remember a ref giving a stall call (no matter how obviously deserved) with less than 20 seconds left to affect the outcome of a big match. Let alone a NCAA Final. Football refs will call a penalty in the analogous situation, baseball umps will call a strike or ball, but our refs are way too timid. Smart wrestlers know this.

The kids are so good and the refs are so bad
