  1. Big John Irving fan here....his memoir, you reference, is excellent...definitely worth the read for any fan of the sport.
  2. maybe over on the Lehigh forum https://fb.watch/qoG2OKHiT7/
  3. Win win is one of my personal favorites....right up there after Vision Quest and World According to Garp
  4. Bobby was, unfortunately, too small for 118.
  5. I agree with this...and have been saying the same thing to anyone who'll listen since the "funk roll" TD defense technique started gaining popularity back in the mid-late 90s Fresno State/Gerry & Stephen Abas era. IMO, enforcing stalling in this situation would also have the added benefit of reducing the multiple knee injuries that this technique can cause. Seems like a no-brainer from a safety standpoint.
  6. JB would know for sure but I believe the late 80s Virginia Duals were the original modern-era NCAA Dual Championship...then NWCA spun off another Midwest centric version thru the 90s - 2000s
  7. I want more Nino! He seems like a pretty good color commentator...
  8. Much like the double bird splits is the new ear cup
  9. I think we need @MedicineMan to provide his skills here (double bird split on the left and Quint Kessenich on the right of the photo below):
  10. I agree, but this is the sort of end-of-bout shenanigans we've come to expect from the Brands (especially Terry) when they wrestled and that same "show no respect" attitude has been passed on to their athletes over the years (Gilman, DeSanto as recent examples). If you ask me, the Ferrari's fit right in.
  11. Didn't know that was ever a requirement for a BIG+ subscription. I've been using the School Pass option with a gmail email address for the Big10 tournament the past two seasons.
  12. I've found the best/cheapest way to subscribe for a particular event/tournament is to choose the "School Pass" option @ $9.95/month and cancel before it auto-renews. Just make sure you choose a school competing in the event you want to watch.
  13. Great news for Zain and his family. Kudos to Taylor Lukof (CEO/Founder of ABR Dynamic funds) for supporting wrestling...I see in his bio he's also on "the Board of the United States Wrestling Foundation, and as a steward of the Living the Dream Medal Fund, supporting Team USA’s top men & women wrestlers."
  14. Menifee (Morgan State) & Hoffman (tosu) all tied up heading into the 3rd pd
  15. I believe the OG "stallmate" reference was made during the same NEB vs. PSU broadcast as the infamous "Coach Snyder wants an illegal fist in the back call on Penn State" comment.
  16. thanks, you saved me from having to produce the same screen grab.
  17. according to Flo it's partial wrestlebacks. losers to semi-finalists qualify for repechage
  18. not a gift, there was 1 sec on the clock when he competed the throw. they reviewed it and confirmed it counted.
  19. The "Andrew Alton gas tank" version of Braxton Brown will continue to struggle this year.
