Top Programs... that are gone

Kentucky's Rick Dellagatta had some epic battles with Iowa's Randy Lewis. 

… and is the third person involved in the 1984 controversy with the Olympic team who often doesn’t get mentioned. I met him for the first time a few years ago down in Texas … where he was WITH Randy Lewis.

Sorry to have to ask,  but what was the controversy? I'm curious to know.

Name calling violation, ma'am.

Hang in there; you'll get your culture cancelling in due time..  I'm guessing Bob's not read my reply to him yet. I'll be gone (again) once he does.

Didn’t Dellagatta beat Sergei Beloglazov at some point?

Dual at Atlantic City, as I recall. The next week or so at World Cup, Sergei teched him. Ricky was very dangerous especially from a scrambling point of view. The two got into what appeared to be more of a folkstyle match (rolling around).

Randy Lewis made the final best of 3 against Lee Roy Smith. Randy won the first match, lost the second and got injured and defaulted the 3rd. Lewis protested the scoring in the 2nd match. It ended up going to binding arbitration where Dan Gable who was the 84 Olympic coach got subpoenaed to testify. Binding arbitration ruled in Lewis's favor and part of the 2nd match was re-wrestled and Lewis won and went on to win the gold medal in the Olympics. Lee Roy, John, etc. have basically held a grudge against Gable because they felt he showed favoritism towards Lewis.

I saw them together in Texas as well. Randy didn't have as much hair and Rick was nice enough to remind him of it lol

why do you keep calling people 'ma'am' ? 

you're 5 seconds away from being booted for being a board nuisance and a general displeasure.

but what else is new?

Ironic coming from a name caller, eh, friends?  Gee, like the ban wasn't going to happen anyway. 

Pull the switch.  I couldn't care any less. I just request to PULL IT.  No Zoo or anything.  I'll happily enjoy no access at all. 

Git on it, boy!

so would it be called ban ban basketball? 

[TitleIX is ripe for reform]

I feel grateful every year that UNC, Duke and NC State don't join Clemson, Ga. Tech. and the SEC of yesteryear by eliminating their NCAA D1 wrestling programs in the South.   Hopefully Coach Koll can manage to make winners out of folks from the South (especially North Carolina).   That could significantly boost our sport's return further South, couldn't it?   

Encouragingly enough, NC State fairly recently had an NCAA champion who is apparently from North Carolina.

That was nearly two months ago.  Not relevant to today,  oh timely one. 

WOWZA! Someone done did just get out of jail.
