    Stalling....help me out

    I just read an article where the author is all for the riding time point but with a twist. Top man gets called for stalling (not warned) the riding time is wiped out and starts from zero.

    Stalling....help me out

    Thanks for the link. Risk/Reward, great concept. Years ago I advocated with a friend, Lehigh wrestling grad and head wrestling coach at my old high school alma mater, that we should have a 3 point take-down in high school. At the time of our conversation coach sat on the PIAA rules committee...

    Best that never won a national title

    I don't know if this is Kosher or not but this question is being debated elsewhere. I rarely post or contribute to debates but need to get my 2 cents in on this one. Being as old as dirt I hearken back to the 60's and have to put forth a name not mentioned in the other debate as of yet. To this...
