For those looking at Flowrestling their team scores are wrong. I looked at the official NCAA site and we finished 9th .5 pts. ahead of Nebraska not behind. Flo's been wrong the whole tournament on the scoring for us.

Awesome night for Rutgers Wrestling. I was working so I could only stream on my phone. I’m home now so time to watch on the dvr.
Top headlines on espn.com .....go check it out
I have been at this for over 60 years and waited patiently for a nation champ and now I have two and witnessed it in person just now
You, Dave B and the rest of the hierarchy and members of the SKWC deserve this night ! You all played a part !
So cool, the only mention of wrestling on the espn home page is this article, in the main top headlines section
Rutgers gets 1st two wrestling national champs
It feels like espn goes out of their way to take shots at us (we give lots of ammo for sure) but this was awesome, they didn't need to do this.
Thanks Nick and Anthony!
How many scotch whiskies did you have before the matches?
He had no breath in him to get a loud "R" out, and the floor reporter says "They can't hear you." How crappy is it that AA wanted to go hug his mom and the floor security made him leave the floor?
I am a huge fan of Suriano/Fix national championship matches!!!!!
I was thinking the same the blue shirts were like c*ck blockers with everyone’s celebrations
Why would you even consider that thought three hours after THE most accomplished moment(s) in Rutgers sports history? You should be tossing back a beverage and toasting these wrestlers and coaches for an unbelievable Knight of wrestling. :chairshot:
I understand and felt bad but fair is fair and the wrestlers have to do a weigh in and all that right after the match so you can’t risk cheating. I understand jt

Congrats to both Nick and Ash!
Ash I was rooting hard for, super hard not to like the kid and watch him fulfill a dream.
Nick always had the talent. It was his head. Coaches did a good job getting his mind right and it showed.
Tremendous accomplishment 2 NCs!
So congrats Nick, Anthony and Coach Goody!

Almost every Penn State fan I ran into this weekend was rooting to Nicky too. The booing was (best guess) because Fix was stalling/not trying anything offensively for much of the match and it wasn't being called.
It seemed to me Suriano won the crowd. He was the aggressor and Fix was moving back to the line the entire match. Add in John Smiths whining and the crowd was definitely getting on Fix and not Suriano.
It definitely was looking like Nick was going to get jobbed. Just had this feeling. He didn’t let the extraneous stuff get to him.
If ref #22 (from DeSantos first match) was there last night Fix would have definitely been DQ'ed by the 2nd. He was literally doing nothing but backing away and stalling the entire match. He is incredibly boring to watch.
And, nor should you understand it. I've been ranting about this for years-yet another reason why my words are so dangerous- that we've dumbed down the definition of "stalling" over the course of years to try to appeal to a wider fan base that simply doesn't understand the sport from the get-go.
Essentially, what passes in fans' minds for "stalling" today is when their wrestler is losing and it becomes a desperate plea to refs to intervene on legitimate wrestling strategy.
Granted, we're talking over 40 years ago now, but when I wrestled you took a guy down and you rode him out for the period. NO ONE got called for stalling when you were just legitimately riding or if you were the person on bottom, with the exception of when the person was essentially a dead fish. My final scores were ALWAYS something like 4-2 or 5-3. That's how many people wrestled then.
I took a peek at the Ok. State wrestling wrestling forum on Rivals - their fans are bunch of whiners just like their coach.
Yes, and they wouldn't be the only ones. I can immediately think of two fan bases that make Ok State fans look gracious.
I still can’t believe how Nicky turned him and won when it looked like he was ****ed. That was amazing!!’
