149 Semis: Metcalf (IA) Vs. Brown (C Mich)

nobody can beat metcalf he has coached one of my practices

Metcalf reminds me of Lee Kemp in his style; slow relentless but aggressive.

good thing everyone is entitled to their opinion

i'm going to put this out there, the usa wrestlers might say no, but metcalf is going to become better than cael sanderson.

This was not a close match. Brown holds his ground better than most against Metcalf, but still Metcalf was in control the entire match. Only 2 ways to beat Metcalf right now: catch him on his back and pin him, or stall the entire match (like Palmer) and hope to score some quick points at the end. Everyone talks about how aggressive Metcalf is on his feet and how well he finishes shots, but the truly remarkable thing to me is that he never gets ridden for more than a couple of seconds. He's up, out, and after you every time. If someone could take him down and ride him a minute or two, they'd have a chance.

It was a five count. The ref makes the 1st count from his feet as he is going to the ground and then makes the last four. Also I don't think that it's Metcalf not going 100mph, I think that Brown is just one of the better guys at 149 and he is oviously pretty strong because both of their matshes this have been fairly close.

Brown has got to finish that single when he has it that high in the air.
Also. I have never seen Metcalf wrestle so laid back. Usually he goes 100 mph!!

the first count of the initial five count was with the ref's left hand.

that was not two. no control. If anything it was questionable. Bu the ref did get too involved with all the pd calls.

Should have been 7-6.

It was a good match by metcalf i dont think people are catchin on it was a good take down but metcalf got right back to work and was in his face looking for more! And thats a good wrestler. Dont stop till the end!

I believe people are starting to catch on to metcalfs style. He better stop trying to wrestle for the crowd and win the match.

Also, it was 2takedown, and that wasnt 3 backpoints only a 4 count...
He better hope he doesnt have steve brown on his side of the bracket at nationals...

yep

umm...dat was def 2 for brown at 3:39

i agree with ted officiating should be top notch when wrestling in butthump illinois

winston in the background with leonardis....i think he wants what metcalfs got- a stranglehold on his weightclass! keep wrestling tough scottie

...but officiating should be near perfect in NCAA wrestling. This isn't a crappy barnyard match in Butthump Nebraska.

I suppose the first count occurred from his feet when he signaled the takedown because he was on his back for 5 counts

yah brown does handle metcalf really well. Brown should be ranked better in the country

It doesnt matter Metcalf would still have won so why even discuss it.

Brown wrestles Metcalf better than anyone else in the country... Just not enough..

tann had a 4 count for the back points. Metcalf should have gotten 2 points, not 3 for back.
