Never let the wife trick you into having a conversation when wrestling is on.
-
I was at this tournament, but can't recall watching their first match. Upthread a bit, Gimpeltf said it had to with confusion of who was red or green, resulting in uncorrectable scoring. That seems to be what I remember people talking about at the time.

The answer to this is Steve Baer, Nebraska and Tim Harris, Minnesota. It occurred in the 126 bracket of the 1995 NCAA D1 championships. They wrestled on the winner's side, but this had to be re-wrestled on a technicality, and they met again in the 5th/6th match. They were teammates at Minnesota the year before.

On one of the WI podcasts that I listened to a while ago, they seemed to think Rivera 125, Fugitt 133 next year.
-
Most people wouldn't have predicted Mayor or Liegel to do as well as they have this year and Zargo has looked tough at times. It isn't easy to jump levels in big ten team status. It takes a lot of baby steps of recruiting, development, transfers, and repeat again in consecutive years.
-
He was pretty well known regionally. Undefeated his last 3 years of high school at a prominent large school in a tough state. He may not have been recruited by any top 5 schools, but I have to believe Wisconsin, Minnesota, SDSU, Michigan schools, etc. gave him a serious look. Maybe the California weather and lifestyle just appealed to him initially.

Elam took a shot and ended on his knees. When he brought his head up, Sloan pancaked him with a headlock for the fall.
-
Did the ref scold Cael for a weak brick throw?
-
Exciting finish. I though SDSU might pull it off.
-
Thank you, that is the event I was thinking of. I couldn't think of the technicality that caused them to re-wrestle, but I believe you got it. Does anyone have a guess at the two wrestlers that wrestled 3 times at the same NCAA tournament? They were teammates the year before and they were both D1 All-Americans (just not both that year).
-
I just right click on the video I want and then from the pop-up menu select "copy link".
-
Bennett Tabor definitely has the best walk out music among current Gophers with Motorhead's Ace of Spades and Nazareth Hair of the Dog in consecutive duals.
-
I have a trivia question that I hope someone can help me clarify. Although I was at this NCAA tournament, I don't recall seeing the event in question, I just remember people talking about it afterwards. What 2 former D1 college teammates (both All-Americans at some point) wrestled each other 3 times in the same D1 NCAA tournament?
-
I didn't take his statement on FRL to mean that he necessarily wants to get into college coaching. Maybe he just wants to spend more time with or expand his club coaching. He mentioned Freddie Roach as motivating him to coach and he is a boxing and MMA trainer.
-
Much like his recent video, "What's wrong with Iowa". Flo probably would have censored him on this as well. Going out on his own he has more journalistic freedom.
-
If you find Ollie loud and obnoxious, how do you feel about Chael?
-
He was kidding around.

The ILLINI versus Purdue and Northwestern
MNRodent replied to ILLINIWrestlingBlog's topic in College Wrestling
Purdue and Illinois could be pretty close. -
-
Oh boy
-
...and 5 other all-americans.
-
How many AAs this year? Hint: it's less than one. Last year AA's he faced: Fix, Byrd, Cannon, Lamont (Fix, RBY and Mendez in postseason) You're thinking with your pooper.
-
Byrd, Fix, Cannon were all top 10ish and returning All-Americans last year at the time of their meeting. Plus, RBY twice, Mendez twice, Fix again in the postseason. His only bad loss last year was Palmer.
-
Say coffee grinder one more time, please.
-
He has losses to two freshmen this year that are ranked high largely because they beat him.
