Ryder shoulder came out of the socket in the 3rd and looked like it happened again in OT when he lost. Hopefully it's not serious but shoulders don't come out twice in a match without a serious issue
How can his coaches let him stay in the match after the first time? What is the normal protocol for this kind of thing?

I saw that happen to a HS kid years ago. Apparently it happened to this kid quite often. They popped it back in and he kept going.

Ok, there was some screaming when they popped it back in and the words uttered were not age appropriate.

Crazy

This. If it’s a chronic issue and you know the good technique for getting it back in, it can be done. Not fun the next day though

Columbia coaches include Donny Pritzlaff, Sebastian Rivera, and Jeff Buxton. Good to see good things happening for them.
Another reason to cheer them is lion brotherhood. 👍

Another "upset" of the weekend was Gabe Arnold, who cried after losing a close match.

Seriously hope he's being closely monitored. That Iowa program can't be a healthy environment for him.

He really should go to a program where he could learn some offense and wrestle at 174 or 184 as the starter.

We are used to seeing a variety of physical breakdowns by the black and gold in Feb/March, now they are breaking minds.

Had a shoulder come out going over the goal line in a hs football game over 35 years ago. To this day it'll just pop out at the most random of times.

It has to be tough coming in thinking you are good enough to win national championships and then be bounced around the lineup. Finally a chance to step up and prove yourself, only to discover 3 years in and your offensive skill set is pretty much what you arrived with.
What TnT and their entire staff does with development is coaching malpractice.
