NCAA Wrestling Championships 2010 - 149 Pound

[spectremis]

Most. Boring. Match. Ever. Someone call Caldwell!

[Whyyousuchadumbbutt]

Holy crap they look like High school 160's-171

[Shoetiefly]

Immediately following the win, Metcalf not liking much of anything about his Iowa coach. These two prob deserved each other.

[aubie0071971]

that f'er Metcalf new exactly what he was doing... and it's below the belt

[aag38op]

I want to see metcalf vs j jaggers

[TalkingDurrty]

GO HAWKS!

[partylovers16]

what tht a tap at 0:47?

[g1la12]

lol are the iowa coaches twins?

[iJuan3]

@g1la12 Yes, Tom & Terry Brands.

[jenroyhall]

i know but he celebrates in his own way

[blateach]

2010 - my all-time favorite tournament - a great hawkeye win and a very personal experience i will always remember!

[HeBeZeus]

@blateach my favorite too, it was my first year wrestling we watched this at my coaches house, as a team, and its when i really fell in love with the sport this year im making my run for the state title

[duststac]

caldwell is a dumb pile of shit! go Brent Metcalf! GO HAWKEYES!

[sublime8510]

@duststac lol still sore on that shit? how tastes caldwell's peepee?

[y2keisha00]

@sublime8510 DUDE METCALF IS A PUSSY SORE LOSER & WINNER!!!! CALDWELL WOULD HAVE WIPPED THE MATT WITH HIM AGAIN

[Foomie34]

"palmer says its my knee" love the way the announcer says it

[KelpStalker]

I still stand by what I said, Metcalf gets the job done and I respect that. Both of these guys are great wrestlers, I would have loved to see Caldwell wrestle him again because due to his drive, his attitude IMHO Metcalf would have won.

I do not respect the running and cart wheeling but I am old school, wrestle, shake hands and move on to the next match.

[mayhemclownsoto]

107 wins 3 loses guy in black pretty fucking cool

[primo6711]

@mayhemclownsoto he's a dickhead and a baby for pushing caldwell in the finals a few yrs back

[infestation69]

matches like this make wrestling hard to watch sometimes :(

[mayedasun]

Metcalf never recovered from this day

[adeperro]

wats riding time?

[derrick302]

@adeperro its jus the time one wrestler is able to stay ontop of the other

[EdOwnz]

That's my weight class :P.

[GableMetcalf23]

lol Palmer taps at 00:49 sec

[wildcat4eva]

He pulled that win out of his ass

[alpha1shadow]

i wish i could wrestle college.

[sheltonwrestler13]

"I don’t want to give my opponent the satisfaction of watching me celebrate, which would make it look like a big deal that I beat him.” -Brent Metcalf.

I love this quote, got it from an article on the front page of themat.com

[MORPGrtard]

metcalfs thighs are like tree trunks

[youngballer11]

caldwell!!!!

[theboogeiman713]

what if pro wrestling was real...

you just watch IT!!!

[Sh00t1stAskLater]

damn you think he would wanna enjoy the moment a little bit more than that considering he was a senior...

[bigbirdgrappler60]

@Sh00t1stAskLater he threw his bands in the air isnt that good enough from him lol

[Sh00t1stAskLater]

@bigbirdgrappler60 lol, im just saying that was his last match ever and he should've enjoyed it a little more than that 4 christ sake.....

[bigbirdgrappler60]

@Sh00t1stAskLater why hes wrestled at worlds the only thing bigger would be wrestling in london in 2012 he was probly going nuts in his head but he never wabts to give anyone else the satisfaction that beating them ment anything

[929myohmy]

@Sh00t1stAskLater It's cause he won it by the skin of his teeth. ie Prolly not whollyt happy with hisself.

[Sh00t1stAskLater]

@929myohmy ur probably right but still...lol

[929myohmy]

@Sh00t1stAskLater Yeah true, he got the job done. Solid wrestler.

[TinyFang997]

@Sh00t1stAskLater There's nothing wrong with modesty, really.

[Sh00t1stAskLater]

@TinyFang997 thats true but everything will never be as good as it was (athletic wise) 4 the rest of his life....gotta enjoy it a little more

[TinyFang997]

@Sh00t1stAskLater I'm pretty sure he partied his ass off back at his own place.

[Sh00t1stAskLater]

@TinyFang997 lol yeah your prob right...

[DiscoveryChurchNC]

@Sh00t1stAskLater The reason he doesn't celebrate is because he once said that if he celebrates, then his opponent has the satisfaction of knowing he was a challenge to beat. You have to abide by your own laws...

[Sh00t1stAskLater]

@DiscoveryChurchNC wow good comment , actually a sensible response....thats good ethics on metcalfs begalf

[lanasloves]

@Sh00t1stAskLater Na man if he did enjoy it it would give his opponent the satisfaction that he is happy he beat him.... Metcalf knows he should win so he doesnt need to celebrate

[dudewhatsup113]

@Sh00t1stAskLater “I don’t want to give my opponent the satisfaction of watching me celebrate, which would make it look like a big deal that I beat him.” Brent Metcalf

[TneckSweater555]

@dudewhatsup113 and thats why he was a monster

[camo226]

@Sh00t1stAskLater Metcalf said once "I don't waste time celebrating victories, It makes the other guy think that beating him was a big deal"

[dagable]

Shees, what are you guys twelve year olds? Ease up on the Anabol and consider that Metcalf won four MI titles and lost only two college matches. The guy is an excellent wrestler and at strategy also. He was wrestling a physical freak in Caldwell, and one who also happens to be an exceptional technician. A battle of Titans, this.

[coaxide]

@dagable metcalf lost 3 matches 2 from caldwell regualr season and NCAA finals and palmer in Big Ten finals.

[purposefirst]

@riptide: With only 5 seconds to go, Metcalf and Caldwell were restarted. Score 9-6. Metcalf let him up. He should have know Caldwell would run since he already had been running. Even if he miraculously caught him and took him down, he still would have lost (you had better review your first grade arithmetic). Metcalf's best chance at that point, although very slim, was to make an all-out effort to put Caldwell on his back RIGHT FROM THE WHISTLE.

[purposefirst]

Another thing about Metcalf -- It was not accidental that he was twisting Palmer's knee sideways. The ref knew it when he said, "Clean it up" to Metcalf. Metcalf resorted to similar tactics repeatedly awhile back against Dustin Schlatter. He's a dirty wrestler when against the best.

[purposefirst]

Metcalf's mainly excels at stamina. He is not a really smart wrestler. He gets into his take-down-and-let-escape mode without regard to the time. Even in a close match he will let a man up with only a few seconds to go in a period even though he has not enough time to do another take down, thus giving away a point. Even in the national finals with Caldwell last year he was in that same dumb mode in the last seconds of the match when his only chance was to try to pur Caldwell to his back

[125riptide]

@purposefirst youre an idiot. unless he pulled something out of his ass like ness did with dennis there was no way metcalf was going to get caldwell to his back, so the only logical thing to do was to try and take him down, he actually did have plenty of time to get at least a tie and take it to over time but caldwell back-up and stalled so much that all that time burned out. i wouldn't question his tactics, if you're a smarter wrestler than he is where are our 4 state and 2 Nat'l championships?

[skykomish]

crazy that Metcalf won on riding time, the aspect of his wrestling that is the least developed

[sneakaholic011]

metcalf...what a douchebag

[kingcedrick1]

Metcalf is a wrestling god

[arad412]

wow 3-2 NOOOO!!!!!!!!! damn i wanted Palmer to win soo bad

[dogdayswrestling]

Palmer made an impressive run for the championship... I'd take nothing away from him, especially after scoring back points in the Big 10s. On another day, the national champ could've been Palmer... he already proved that it was possible to beat Metcalf soundly. But Metcalf was vindicated in the end in the match that really mattered. Both great wrestlers.

[spectremis]

great he won... but honestly, he's boring as hell to watch.

[LordofTyranny]

@spectremis Only b/c Palmer kept him slowed down. Otherwise Metcalf Majors everyone else most of the time...

[Weightliftingfreak]

@spectremis your boring as hell.

[spectremis]

@Weightliftingfreak well thank GOD no one cares what you think. seriously, no one in your life or around it. there probably isn't a single person ever who has ever cared what you think or ever will care what you think. that includes your parents, siblings, extended family and anyone sad enough to date/marry you.

[chroniccrew1234]

tom brands chokes a puppy to death every time one of his wrestlers loses

[sneakaholic011]

@chroniccrew1234 lmfao hahaha

[jesse7037]

@chroniccrew1234 HAHA ive seen him do it at UTC, but this time it was a kitten!!

[neothi]

@chroniccrew1234 I was at a tournament once and my coach joked about killing a puppy if I lost...

[neothi]

@chroniccrew1234 My school has a joke like that. Near a restaurant where we eat before tournaments (we travel a distance to get to them) there is a pet store, so we joke that losing gets the puppy killed.

[mwilky21]

I really don't think Metcalf cares who he was wrestling...be it Palmer or Caldwell or whoever...as he proved he is a champion! But I do love the haters...thank you for fueling the Iowa fire!

[kevts135]

@mwilky21

he wanted caldwell. he wanted to get revenge.

palmer has no heart

[Topdog9692]

Metcalf is VERY LUCKY Caldwell wasn't wrestling.

Caldwell would have spanked his little ass like he did last year ! ....;-)

[bigbirdgrappler60]

@Topdog9692 or metcalf wouldve handed him another 19-3 beatdown like the all star duals last year maybe cladwell wouldve had a chance to win if he wasnt such an idiot and hurt his sholder roller blading

[onebobtwo]

@Topdog9692

right!? caldwell had to fake an injury and run like a bitch at the end to "win"

[i0N3B4DM0F0]

@Topdog9692 fuck you

[sneakaholic011]

the iowa coach looks like he literally has no soul.

same with metcalf...

[georgio140]

if i'm legitimately hurt and signal for injury time and the ref doesnt call it, i'm not gonna lay there and think to myself "why isn't he calling injury time?" i'm gonna try to get the ref's attention. palmer signaled for injury time, but the ref must not have seen it....and palmer just lays there...

[colossalko]

aew these refs dumb he was signaling for injury time from 0:46 till 1:35

[FormerADTMan]

@colossalko Thats a load of SHIT. He is wrestling for a National Championship. If he was hurt he should be yelling and moving all his body parts to signal he was injured. HE LOST!!!!!!!!!!

[IowaHarley65]

Maybe if Lance would try a shot, he might've made a difference.... but Lance doesn't shoot!! Okay, one real shot with about 30 seconds left. Then in his interview following the match, he whines AND throws his team under the bus!!

Looking forward to seeing Lance getting his ass beat in MMA!!

[ewconnection]

I don't know why the ref waited to stop the potentially dangerous move made intentionally by Metcalf. Pro-Iowa ref, probably.

[bigbirdgrappler60]

yeah how about that stall call at the big tens on metcalf when palmer had his legs and wasnt trying to return him to the mat ref must have been pro osu its college there gonna let it go until it really is dangerous

[ewconnection]

@bigbirdgrappler60 don't you understand the rules? Bottom man can't repeatedly stand when the top man puts in the legs. I guess the problem for Metcalf was that he stood too quickly. He didn't allow Palmer time to stall.
