I thought he neutralized Glorys strengths. I know he want to get a point, but going down on bottom a second time was a ballsy decision. He ended up stalling, but put himself in Glorys sweet spot. It was 5-1 and Glory didn't have an offensive point. Nick was in control for majority of the match. I'm glad Glory lost but do approve of his walk out song. I'll pull for him against Lee next year.
Exactly. Glad Deakin won. We do NOT want Princeton winning NCs to gain another recruiting advantage over us.
Yes we do Bill you called it. I just hope mekhi Lewis beats storraci
That’s dumb that you can get points there though. In theory, your team in terms of score is at an advantage with the 32nd seed than the team with the say 27th seed because of the extra match vs the weakest opponent in the field.
Glory coming out to Bruce's Glory Days was great. Don't @ me 😂
Glory goes with a Jersey classic and Suriano goes with a Compton classic.
That is… very true… there’s better chance at team points from 32nd then 27th. As a coach you would probably prefer that… for the wrestlers though that’s another extra match and then they get the 1 seed next…. I don’t think I ever saw a 1 seed lose to the pigtail winner.
O’Neil was our third best scorer and scored as many points as Poz, Shaver, Oliveri, and Van Brill combined. This weekend I like the rule.

I support the current coach and agree with a lot of what you have to say, as long as we all understand that with the current coach we will NEVER reach the top echelon of college wrestling. The best you are going to get is a top 20 finish, with a few All-Americans and on the off year maybe a National Champ. Now, if you look at the history of Rutgers wrestling that is very respectable, but it is not going to allow us to compete for B1G and National team titles. We are what we are, and he is what he is, and as long as people are good with that, then stop whining and lay off the coach.
You know what it was like back in the 70’s and 80’s with little scholarship money, decrepit facilities, and most students not even knowing that we had a wrestling team. I still remember Coach Voliva coming to our Fraternity house to recruit some of our Keller Trophy wrestling champions to wrestle in some duals. As I recall he was also the director of intramural sports. We have come a long way and Scott is certainly no longer a “high school” coach. What he has led is nothing short of a miracle given where the program came from. You are spot on that it is a funding race. I’ve been active in SKWC fundraising over the past few years and will emphasize again that every $ counts. That $1 pin pool pledge makes a difference that most don’t realize. Check the websites of Hawkeye, NLWC, Spartan, etc. and look at the number of resident athletes on their roster. Wrestling is unique with the RTC system and until our sugar daddy materializes we need everyone pitching in to the best of their ability. The pin pool is still open so if anyone wants to make a difference sign up today.
Neutral danger rule started in 2017 IIRC (some links and the rule below).

Thanks for the clarification and weird that I have not heard it mentioned/called until multiple times this year. Maybe they are enforcing it a little more. And the official rule helps clear up the times when I thought so something should have been called, but both wrestler's backs were exposed.Neutral danger rule started in 2017 IIRC (some links and the rule below).
Art. 3. Neutral Danger Zone Takedown. When in the neutral position, the referee shall announce a neutral danger signal (NDS) anytime a wrestler exposes their shoulders to the mat at any angle less than 90 degrees (neutral danger zone). The danger zone utilizes near fall criteria outlined in Rule 4.5.1, but replaces 45 degrees with any angle less than 90 degrees. The NDS announcement shall occur anytime a wrestler is voluntarily or involuntarily in the neutral danger zone, beyond reaction time, and will continue until the wrestler is out of the danger zone or a takedown is awarded.
A.R. 4-2. Is a wrestler able to score near fall points while holding his opponent in the neutral danger zone?
RULING: No, near fall may only be scored once a takedown is awarded. By rule, the NDZ and the NDS are only applicable when in the neutral position. (Rules 4.2.3 and 4.2.4)
WHAT IS DANGER?
Question for the knowing: How does the danger rule work? If the wrestlers are in neutral and one has his back exposed for a three count, does the other wrestler get a two-point takedown (or that riding time starts and an escape is possible) or does he get two back points (but no takedown)?
