I did and it was fun to watch. My impression of Snyder was that he gave up at least one (or more) of those takedowns because he tried to throw the guy. The lateral drop slipped and he ended up giving up the 2. He's lucky he didn't get caught and pinned. Snyder knew he needed back points or a pin for a team win so I give him credit for going for it. Most wrestlers won't risk it in that situation. I also give PSU guys credit for being aggressive. All of the PSU guys wrestled aggressively.
I think he could of got the major if he would of stuck to his regular takedowns. That would of put it into criteria at 5 matches a piece with both having a TF and 2 majors each. So then goes to total match points?
The announcers said it was Ohio states on criteria. Not sure what the order of criteria is. I know that we had a HS one last year decided on amount of first takedowns and that's a ways down.
Honestly, I'm getting old, so take it with a grain of salt, but a lot of this situation screams what is stereotypically wrong with millennials that I encounter having them as employees. Don't want to put the work in, but require constant "positive" feedback, then when something doesn't go their way, or they under perform, or do something wrong, they expect their feelings to be picked up off the floor for them, they blame others and/or run away instead of looking inward. What makes this situation hit so hard home for me, is this is wrestling, where individual toughness is the epitome of the sport. I know I probably get blasted for this, but, be a man.
The announcers were wrong. PSU was up by 12 match points going into heavyweight, meaning Snyder had to win by 13+ for tOSU to win. This helps explain A LOT of what Snyder was trying to do. He didn't look as sharp as usual, but the Yarygin and travel was probably 90% of that with the other 10% being he knew he needed BIG points.
I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on the training our soldiers receive. Like it or not, that is often used as a comparison.
That said, the era of coaches being physical with players at all, even a little bump, is basically over. Our staff needs to get on board with that or potentially see more of this kind of headline.
Have you ordered your ***** HAT? YOU NEED IT.

I think he could man 141 for a year with freeman as his biggest challenge maybe he moves up after that. I don’t see Amine beating him out and zac Hall no longer wrestles
Very possible. If this is true, he has some real good competition. And can’t transfer again
Ben Freeman I see is the son of Al Freeman, who I think was a one or two time Iowa state champion for Griswold around about 1977, 1978.
Al I think is a buddy of former ISU great Kelly Ward, who I think coached Al for at Nebraska. A couple of years ago Kelly was on a podcast linked to this board. At that time Kelly worked for the Secret Service and was in charge of security for Janet Yellen, Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve Board.
Here is a link and a blurb on Ben Freeman from the UM site:

Father wrestled at Nebraska (1978-83), where he was an NCAA finalist and two-time All-American under former Michigan standout Bob Fehrs
