197 lbs WAR Dustin Kilgore KSU VS Logan Brown Purdue

brown isn't as good of a wrestler as kilgore so he tried to turn it into a fight. I don't mind being physical but gouging the eyes as you are taken down by a good shot looks cheap to me.

this reff blows

Wow! Intense match! Kilgore beat the crap out of Brown. Too bad Brown is an eye-gauging sissy

My son wrestled 4 years of high school and 5 years of college until January of his senior year WITHOUT ever have an injury time out or blood timeout - until he wrestled Brown who hit him in the eye (he was penalized) and across the nose. He had a black eye and swollen cheek - looked like a car wreck. It didn't "help" that he had beat Brown the previous match by MD. When Brown goes against guys who can match him physically he gets out of control and although the ref tried to manage- as he did in the Kilgore match - they always stop short. The tough physical style is not the problem - it is the hand and fingers in the eyes - and doing it repeatedly. Brown's coaches need to straighten him out or he will have no chance to AA.

I don't see how FLO should be at fault, as they are only catering to their audience, who, for the most part wanted to see this match. IMO

flo should be embarrassed hyping this match and calling it a war

Brown was eye gouging the whole time. Trying to make up for the fact he doesn't have any offense i guess.

lets not just say that this stuff happens in wrestling...it happens everywhere garret lebount from oregon knocked some dude out on national television with a two team brawl going on...lets not say this isolated cause it happens in sports.

I wouldve given Brown a warning in the first period for eye gouging and a point for Kilgore pushing him. That was unnecessary.

2nd period definitely points for eye gouging and that as the final warning
Kilgore definitely shoulda been tossed though when he kneed Brown. I dont think the ref even saw it though. This is the type of match you DONT want kids watching.

anyone see the towl thrown at kilgore at the end

At least the Kent state coaches were trying to control their wrestler. Can't say the same for the Purdue coaches. It seems they didn't really say anything to Brown, regarding his tactics. Makes me think it is part of the culture of Purdue wrestling to be over aggressive.

Brown looks like he's jsut trying to street fight.

Kent State coaches are worthless pieces of garbage

I pinned Logan Brown like a little biotch.

I see this stuff and I know that this weekend some moronic youth coach or father is going to have his kids gouging the eyes or throwing wild cross faces.
And we wonder why the number of teams is decreasing. What do the Purdue or Kent State Athletic Directors think here? Are the coaches and athletes representing the school hte way that they want to be represented?
The ref is at fault for letting it go that far but really this is a sad reflection for everyone.
