Best Looking Gym Ceiling?

[PencilNeck]

I read the "worst wrestler" thread. I know some you here have opinions on this one....

[Red Blades]

I've spent a great deal of time studying this, but only on the hight school level.

Back when I was wrestling in HS in Morris Co. NJ, we had a local newspaper sports writer who had a HS wrestling column: Never Look Up at the Ceiling. The sport writer's name was Dan Castelano. Those who wrestled around the area in the early to mid 70's may remember him well.

Priceless!  He got a decent look at Purdue's ceiling this year as well.

In high school, we wrestled a team that had "If you can read this, you are getting pinned by a TEAM X wrestler" banner on the ceiling

We got crushed and many of our guys got in some reading that day.

I remember back when I attended wrestling camp at the Naval Academy (Ed Peery ran the program), they had a huge sign up inthe wrestling room in McDonough Hall,"If you can read this YOU ARE PINNED!"

OMG that is soooo funny…if that joke wasn’t made ten trillion times in this post alone!  But wow, super funny and thank you so much for coming up with something original for once.  It’s so hard to find originality on these boards, so bravo!

If Spence doesn’t review tape, I doubt he’s a message board guy. Might be Mrs Lee

I can't believe people have to "rag" on Spencer Lee, here, or anywhere....most people will never know the greatness Spencer has reached....not even close!  Not a Hawkeye fan, but I do respect Spencer.  He's someone anyone would want to represent their program.  U have the feeling his knees are so bad that he will never compete again.  Fadz

[CHROMEBIRD]

It would be kind of funny if a supplement company or something put up marketing banners on the ceiling during tournaments

You are right. But, just like Ed Banach - all the buildup and hype are too much to ignore when the final result on the mat is a loss like they took.

Always good to watch again.....I was there...."filmed" it and transferred it to video sometime later.  Unbelievable match.

 

[Not134]

Those were some emphatic swipes!

Such a mecca that they don't even have all their home matches there.
