Agreed. It is the only time in 15 years I left the tourney with a sick feeling in my stomach. That feeling was because it seemed to me that many careers of hard working young men were suddenly and unfairly ended by some refs bad call.

Hey Will, one example of pussification. A certain wrestler in the finals has his opponent on his back with a simple half nelson. He is about to pin his opponent when all of the sudden -you guessed it - the ref steps in and STOPS the match! The kid getting pinned seemed in no danger of injury. I know, the ref was right there - I wasn't. But GHEZ, give the pinner 10 more seconds and the match is over via pin and his team gets more team points for a pin, he gets the satisfaction of knowing he won by pin - but no, the ref took all that away by what seemed an early (very early) and premature stoppage. Upon the restart the pinner had about 40 seconds left to this year's high school season. He seemed demoralized and merely road the kid out. Who could blame him???

Hey Wrestling67, are you the big dude that was sitting to the left of me with the Nebraska stuff on? GO BIG RED! ;-)
