Picture of the Month

Pretty proud of myself cuz I took this shot myself! This was the first time that I have been able to see Iowa wrestle. I am now a fan!

So even though it doesn’t look like it, there was hardly any light in the gymnasium (they actually did this in a high school). I showed up late because of the long three hour drive just in time for Metcalfs match. It was super short and I couldn’t get any good shots, so I wasn’t too happy, but I got this and thought it looked pretty cool.

It’s been a while since I’ve done the wrestling picture of the month. I’m not even sure if it’s by month or week anymore. Maybe it should be by year… Anyways, here it is. Enjoy!

State 2009 Vaith vs Ness — Nice Little Scramble Analysis

I found these pictures on The Guillotine‘s photo album in Google. Pretty sweet shots of a nice scramble. First off, I’ll spoil it and say that the dude in the Blue and Gold striped singlet looks like he won. (There’s a shot of him hugging his coach with a huge smile across the coaches face – I’m putting two and two together and guessing here…) A lot of people will take a look at these shots and wonder how is it that he won? Isn’t he the one with his back towards the mat most of the time? Well, you have something called riding time and another thing called back exposure. If a wrestler is in control and exposes his back to the mat, the ref will reward him back points. Also, if the wrestler is in control for an amount of time, he is awarded points (riding time). So lets take a look at the pictures. If you click on them they’ll go to their normal size and you’ll be able to scroll through them in the pop up.
