    ***2024 NCAA Wrestling - Session 6/FINALS (Sat., 6:00)***

    I didn't know who the commentators were but for every time they mentioned Carr's name they mentioned Messingbrink 10. He sounded more like a PSU announcer than a neutral one.

    Possible Rule Changes

    I have hated this since my son wrestled. It didn't appear often in the Championships but you could see the guys drop to a knee just because. If the knee hits the ground intentionally without provocation then it should be warning then points. Did I mention I hate seeing guys drop to a knee?

    Is there any reports on how kickers are doing in camp?

    What's the problem with offense besides Tom Manning?

    Didn't Bruns point out our receivers are all bunched up or was it someone else. I think if we can get our receivers to separate from each other it opens things up more. How many times did Decker throw a pass and there were 3 or more blue jerseys around the ball. Beyond X most of the receivers...

    Anything official happening re: fixed first half?

    I don't understand how the on field officials missed the spearing on Brock but that happens. What I really don't understand is how the replay officials did not interrupt and review. Play was delayed due to Brock being injured so they had plenty of time. Incompetance on the field officials on...

    Anything official happening re: fixed first half?

    I think you need to go watch the K State game a few years ago to find 3-4 irrational calls so close together. This isn't our first time on the short end of that stick.

    Thread to share videos of the Baylor game fix

    I think I was more upset when the blew the calls on Brock and AJ. I know AJ's is not reviewable but that ref had to be looking for a chance to throw his flag. You wonder if it wasn't a point of emphasis in the pre game meeting and he wanted to stand out.

    Thanks. That is what I remembered but I heard comments he would miss more. Appreciate it.

    Thread to share videos of the Baylor game fix

    They didn't "just miss calls". They extended drives and gave yards to an offense we had just stopped. 30 of the 77 yards on Baylor's first drive we handed to them. Freyler's targeting was something we can argue but it was close. The fact the two BU hits were worse is what is concerning and...

    Is Beau back for the KU game. I think he should be.

    A season after... Does Melvin Ejim's jersey still deserve to be in the rafters?

    After watching TOE hang Garza's and reading through the passion that was in this thread does this need to be revisited? Ejim, Niang and Morris all need to be brought up.

    Have you ever been embarrassed to wear Cyclone Gear?

    It was definitely a poor choice of words but I understand what they are saying. Try living in the Eastern part of the state and listen to TOE fans after getting shellacked or Western part when Neb used to throttle us. Getting beat down by their fans and having nothing to retort can be a...

    Has there been any public reporting of ISU athletes and NIL money received?

    How long can the money last? Is NIL money tax-deductible?

    State of the Program

    What was our projected points if we wrestled to our seeds? I know you cannot figure in bonus points but there should be something out there.
