Funny story about his shoes: he was so young and small that they couldn't find ones small enough. So, they cut a pair of the mesh Dan Gables in half, took out the middle, and sewed them back together. Now that I write this, it seems absurd; but, that's the story my mom told me.
LJB Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) the boys officially started in berryhill... but... not one small OK town they have not wrestled in... the gym the youngest one trains out of now this signed photograph... blubaugh was one of his coaches first coach... both boys have walked out of ponca with a Blubaugh invitational trophy...

LJB Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 amusing mike blaylock story... one year not long after someone took me by the hand and explained what fargo really was, jonce and davey were training to go... im pretty sure that is the year that jonce got to "wrestle" pico... anyway... the boys and i showed up after they were done... both jonce and davey were laying there on the mat pretty wiped... walked over and started chatting with mike... i do not remember who the coach was that was running that session, but, it was somebody for real... mike was telling me i just missed how the coach took some peppers and had them rub it on their hands and then their eyes and then wrestle a match... it was either pure psycho shit or tuesday... but those were my first kind of introductions to this sport... 1

I wrestled Sapulpa's Blue Perez a bunch. i just was rereading this... blue perez was a true wild man... like a 1% true wild man... always nothing but respect between us, but, i never wanted to see him get rowdy... my oldest wrestled his kid when they were little... blue... fish... tdon... all psycho OK wrestlers from your time... still chat regularly with a guy who was a teammate with hardell at coweta...
Animal197 Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 This topic made me think about my best friend from high school. He was a football player, and never wrestled. All 3 of his daughters wrestle. I convinced him to enter an open/masters tournament last April that his daughters were wrestling in at our old high school. He asked me who would be wrestling in it in our age group (39 to) and I told him it would be dads and maybe some coaches, but I specifically told him "There won't be any hammers in your bracket." This was consistent with what I have seen in the past at these types of local tournaments with a masters bracket. He shows up and there are 4 people in his bracket, and the other 3 of them are ACTIVE COLLEGE WRESTLERS. 1 D1, 1 D2, and 1 NAIA. He went 0-3 for the day, but felt he got perspective for coaching from it.

D3 for LU Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) My frosh year @ Mendham HS in NJ (They called it West Morris/Mendham, of which pissed me off to no end , right up to this very day!!! ) First year the HS opened... we had to get a math teacher, who had NO experience in wrestling. One of the wrestlers played the part of the coach and organized practice, while our athletic director schedule duals on the fly. The only wins I had were in the wrestle offs for 115... never won a single bout. (My older brother who was in college at the time, used to call me "Canvas Back" due to losing by fall all the time. ) The only reason why I got my varsity letter in wrestling, was due to winning the final wrestle off to wrestle in the districts... AT Phillipsburg HS! ... I lost THAT match to an eventual state champ (in the following season. ) D3 Edited February 18, 2023 by D3 for LU Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Yep... sounded like a skin graph sliding down it. The makeup of old playgrounds vs new playgrounds is probably a good commentary on life. Sponsored by INTERMAT
