Question for Carolina fans


Recommended Posts

UNC: Chapel Hill,  NC State & Duke help keep NCAA D1 wrestling alive in the South.  It's much appreciated.   Their presence & prosperity help keep our sport from becoming a mere "regional" sport, like men's gymnastics has reportedly become. 

 Clemson used to be part of the frontier but we lost the Tigers' D1 program circa 1995.

Title IX was, indeed, cited as a reason.   But laws have since changed, arguably favorably for wrestling too.   Of potential interest:

A while ago Darrion Caldwell said on a podcast or interview or something that not all wrestlers want to go to school in the cold (even Jersey kids) or on the other side of the country. He could have gone to Nebraska and had a good relationship with Manning but chose NC State. He didn't want to deal with those winters in Lincoln. It's too bad there aren't more D1 options in the South and Southwest, they would be attractive destinations for many. Easier to make weight too.

Idk. I think it was the shock of Bodily getting teched in the first round on the NCAAs -- and the dude he beat in the high school state finals finishing runner-up to the great Jack Cuvo -- started the ball rolling.

*** obviously, this is absurd. But, that's the point. The enforcement of Title IX is absurd..***

I just can't deal with the vinegar based.  Even when in eastern NC, I generally go just with the tomato based sauce.  

Mustard based is pretty good, though.

I like vinegar in general but understand if that's not your thing
