Anyway, gilman just ran pass everyone and did his own thing and I thought it was a bit obnoxious. Its an Iowa thing probably learned it from Zadick (think there's training film on it) he would run across other active mats in a tournament to get to the locker room after his match, even more so when he lost.

Yeah for me it just depends how disruptive it is. Running off to cool down is fine. If its crowded and you're bumping into people its dumb, if your disrupting the way the people running the tournament wanted to present it I find that kind of obnoxious, don't know of any competitive advantage of running to the mat....if it was the only obnoxious thing he'd ever done I would give a pass but its very much the behavior of the dork who ran into minnesotas huddle and stuff like that.

headshuck Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I remember fans suggesting the gophers keep him in their huddle for a little extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibboleth Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 What exactly was he talking about in his interview, saying that he was not sure he was going to wrestle in this tournament? Some adversity at home? Sure as hell sounded like this was his last tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headshuck Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Any other Gilman vs. Minnesota videos you'd like to share? #BackpackThe topic was specifically about the day Gilman busted into the Minnesota huddle and pissed everyone off. The video I posted was filmed a few moments later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnklePicker Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Gilman is the unique cerebral grinder with a few slick shots. In your face, very strong and intense. Big fan. Always enjoy seeing someone not reach their goals at one level and then reaching them at an even higher level. World champ for life. Much respect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutral Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Gilman's an asshat. He is human and entitled to be an asshat, but one nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
