I'm outta here. Leaving Detroit and heading home. I'm too old for this.
***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***

stalling no call or not, Carr is good enough that he should still win that match.
Hate agreeing with clonedude but he's right. Carr had ABSOLUTELY no business losing to that guy and the rest of the results are pathetic.
Okay. So you're all trashing my posts where I cast the shade of this terrible performance on the coaches. Why? What you describe above is poor coaching. Weight misalignment is poor coaching. Underperforming seniors is poor coaching. A team that perennially craps its pants come tournament time is ... you guessed it ... poor coaching. Its not that we're not competing for #1, its that we're not competitive for #15. Its not that we're outperformed by Penn State, its that UNI eats our tournament lunch.
I imagine that Dresser probably calls you all by name a the socials and he holds that one meet a year in a podunk HS gym. Is that where all this loyalty comes from? 'Cause what I see is a very poor return on a pretty generous investment.

Like most things, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Resign? Umm no. That's a bit harsh.
However, with the talent he's put together on this roster.... top 10 finish should be the expectation IMO. I don't know enough about what is going on inside the program to know where the problem is? Is it Metcalf and St. John? I have no idea?
Tell that to Jake Varner then when he lost to Mike Pucillo in the Finals his sophomore year. Had zero business losing that one but some guys are VERY talented at not wrestling/stalling and taking chances in SV or OT. When you have someone who excels at it and knows he isn’t going to get called on it, scoring on a dude like that ain’t easy.
Again tell me you haven’t wrestled without telling me you haven’t wrestled.
Only big fault was David should have gotten that takedown on the edge that he let get away. 100% needs to finish that.
I still think this program is headed in the right directions and we are getting good wrestlers. I think a good suggestion would be to enter better tournaments, and stop scheduling duals with high school teams in Montana and Colorado. Some D1 competition during the season would be nice.
Ah I stand corrected then. I didn’t even see the warning. Watching through ESPN+ is brutal so I missed that. Makes me feel a bit better they at least warned him.
I can tell you for certain it isn't Metcalf and St. John.
So every wrestler that the PSU wrestlers are facing are actually trying to wrestle? Or do some of them try to stall the whole match to try to keep it close?
Or do the refs ONLY not call stalling when ISU is wrestling, but they call it in all the other matches?
I'm just saying that some wrestlers out there today are still winning as expected, even when facing guys that aren't trying to wrestle.
This times 100. Dresser did a terrible cupcake schedule and our guys had decent records but look what that’s doing for us now. Keep scheduling terrible duals and not going to any quality tournaments these are the results you’ll get. Very obvious at this point Coach Robbie was the reason for VT success. He is recruiting better and developing better than KD.
