The Backwater Boys get the win tonight.

Most of us are on his ignore list

Hmmmm....interesting. BTW it's Kaylor at 125...not Taylor although that could be true in a few years.

Cael was also a Wade Schalles award winner.

As a country, we should return to these lost techniques.

I feel I am getting the Kolat treatment.

You need to let the official olympic website know.

Just summarizing the thread, but.... Correct.... to be the GOAT you have to beat the current GOAT on the mat or via statistics. Robin Reed was never beaten, never challenged and won an Olympic gold while in college so best in the world as well as college. Well documented that he pinned many of the members of the Olympic team. Cael and Uetake didn't do that so never trumped The GOAT.. From Olympic.com Robin Reed was America’s greatest wrestler in the pre-WW2 era, and possibly the greatest ever. In a career that began in high school, and then at Oregon State, he was never defeated, winning three AAU titles in 1921, 1922, and 1924. He was not tremendously strong but worked endlessly on improving his moves to better himself. He was also a bit of a character. While hitchhiking his way across the country to join the 1924 Olympic team in New York, he stopped at Iowa State and asked the coach if he could work out when the team came to practice. When the coach refused, Reed asked if he could if he pinned every man on the team. He then stood in the doorway and grabbed each team member as he came to practice, pinning all of them in quick succession. Reed weighed only 135 lbs., but at the Paris Olympics he won a bet when he pinned Harry Steel, the American heavyweight gold medalist, five times within 15 minutes.

So in summary.... Carl is the greatest, but Dake has some arguments to be the greatest but falls short.

His freshman teammates were 9 when he started college. "Hey man, I met you on our 3rd grade field trip to the stadium."

Yep.... and then recycle them in 3 months when the new guy finds something new.

Jones says that Vasquez is close to returning..... Figueroa and Parco will wrestle the duals this weekend at Little Rock and PItt. Jones also said everyone should be. in the lineup in about 2 weeks.

Yep... the end.

It makes sense that he would.... he has persevered through 8 years of college wrestling, which is double what some have had to persevere through....

Well done!

1. Lots of injuries this year - Figs and Vaquez being two important ones this year. 2. Team looks very flat - Parco, Teemer and Schultz all have losses they shouldn't have. They look a little disinterested. 3. Have some good kids coming in like #1 Manville - but the classes have been down a little since having a couple great ones. 4. Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley was the #1 song the same weekend that ASU won the title in 1988....35 years ago... which is the same amount of time from 1953 - 1988.

To be fair, a lot of people on here weren't born yet.

Good on Starocci .... his family members also donated to the cause.

Good luck with your event @coachhardy ... Good for you guys to get the word out about your program. I am fan of every small program doing the hard work to improve the program. If I was in the area I would be there. Do you guys do some sort of giving day for your program or does the school do a big giving day of some kind? If so, make sure to promote it here on the boards.

Ayala's one loss is to my one vote.

Yep... I keep finding tools my dad made to work on cars...stuff welded to other stuff... way more ingenuity back in the day.

Wow that's really cool... I understand completely... we have similar stories... found some of my grandpa's old wood working tools in my dad's stuff. may have to take the best stuff and just display it and the rest goes to the auction. Compromise. The older generation knew how to make their own tools, use them, and not care about safety, because they were't stupid (most of the time).

haha... Yeah, I can relate. My dad just passed away in November. He was a collector of the same things. Has about 30 large metal coffee cans full of bolts and doo dads as well as about 4 large tool boxes. Sorting through what I will actually use and what can get sold or even thrown away has been a chore. You haven't lived until you have at least 10 cans of bolts and screws in your shop.

Very cool! I have always been a fan of the old KISS pinball, which is also very spendy. Nice collection!
