Ryan's Final Match 2004 vs MBA

[notredame788]

hiller did get the reversal off in time there was .3 seconds left on the clock when the ref signaled the reversal. WE ALL NEED TO LAY OF IRISHDAD. he enjoys competition as much as anyone. he would never run off the clock. it could have went either way.....it was a memorable match

irishdad- what happened with starting the clock 5 seconds late in the taylor tate- nick myers match. seemed a little fishy. there is no doubt u started the clock late in that match. great job there

I was trying to changing the score board to reflect the scores on top and individual on teams fouls....I thought I had tims attention to let me make the change..I was wrong.

i just want to say this is the most retarded argument i have seen on this board in along time. as a former wrestler you have to accept that in matches like this one you leave the opportunity to let the match be decided by the official. you leave a chance for the match be decided on a call that cant please everone. this is a tough position for an official to be in. and as for all of you no this board who are blaming the timer what is wrong with you. officials are paid to call matches that is why he is the one who makes the call and no one else. irishdad is no more related to this than any one elts at the mach. he flips a switch and when time runs out a horn sounds, lest get mad at the fans for being to loud maybe it there fault. the call rest totally on the officials shoulders. he made the call at the time and he didn't find enough reasons to change is first decision. i think it better that way when officials stick with what they first called if they are unsure. i was at the match, personal i think jimmy should have been give an escape and that is it. although it stinks i am sure both sides realize that this happens when matches are left in an officials hands. it has happen to jimmy it has happen to william and if you have wrestled for any length of time it has happen to you. i think ever one need to stop looking for some one to blame because it not fair to the sport. it was a great match and it is over.

Irishdad..... If you will reference the thread Thanks Irishdad, It is situations like this that I was trying to discuss with you concerning your braggedocio etc. on this very match. That thread has come back to haunt you. Now in your defense Im certain that this is an honest mistake. No matter hw much you love your Irish there is no way I believe you would Intentionally affect the outcome of a match. But your attitude on the board that you say the dunnings and simpsons approve of, and that the rest of the posters were taking too seriously has jumped up and bitten you in the ---. For those attacking, forget it ,it was an honest mistake. For you Irishdad, this is why you dont provoke and aggravate those who are in alliance with another team. Many will always think you had an intent in the outcome of this match. I doubt that the dunnings and simpsons are as amused with the whole thing now.

Bravo. If you had come on to the board with humble discussion with the MBA people, they would be a lot more understanding. Like the messenger, I don't believe you would do something as blatantly wrong and unfair as to disrupt the outcome of a match. I'm sure it was an honest mistake, but maybe you learned that if you were more rational coming in to the dual, the MBA folks would be more rational now. See you at state.

I said earlier I dont think Irishdad would do this intentionally, but a lot of people are making a bigger deal because of his prior posts on CoachT. I understand it was a big match, huge for hiller and simpson who are both class acts and I hate seeing either wrestler lose, but I dont think its as big of a deal as everyone is making it. If Hiller had a questionable reversal like some are saying would he not be awarded an escape? I know that maybe a little momentum for the Big Red, but even if you give MBA a pin here what does it make it 44-22 is it that big of a difference? I know, it was a HUGE match between to great class act wrestlers, but win or lose for MBA it didnt have the slighest impact on the actual impact of the match. I am not trying to down play these two exciting wrestlers, but lets be honest about the match. For MBA to beat Ryan, Simpson is going to have beat Hiller later on in the post season!

Let's allow this to move on to a more amicable (friendly for those of you north of Clarksville) attitude.

 

I wasnt there, didnt see it, but what a match, from all reports here.

 

WHERE might they be going to school AFTER this high school life? Is William going the way of armed services or to blaze a different path? Jimmy is going to be quite a find for some coach. And BOTH are TN boys we get to follow for another few years. How cool could it be for them to find eachother again, a couple of years later at about 141 pounds, NCAA's, etc......you finish the story.

 

Tennessee is beginning to be noticed, without a doubt. Suddenly we expect things from our young men in the post high school arena. A huge thanks to all of them who do that and carry us with them.

 

Some of you are too young to realize yet, but when I travel, and meet with someone, they sometimes turn a phrase that could only be found in a wrestling room. Or I use one myself.

 

Instant bond. You're a member of the club. Everything is easier after that.

 

February is the best month of the year!
