NM1965 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Remember the "I choose down" moment by Molinaro in the finals against Dake? Molinaro got taken down and ridden like a donkey by Dake in the first period then chose down to start the 2nd period 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it's on the internet anymore. The video of Dake in the tunnel after the match was pretty good, too. Pretty sure he called Molinaro an idiot about 20s into the post-match video: https://www.flowrestling.org/people/5938692-kyle-dake/video?playing=5272008 Edited March 18 by lu_alum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forgive Molinaro for this choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnwtwg Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Pain. But an all-time upset that deserves to be posted. Imar had already beaten Nolf twice and was 2 for 2 on the path to becoming a 4 timer that was an absolute wrecking machine until he met the inside trip from hell. Joseph had ice in his veins and deserves his flowers. 2 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that always comes to mind for me at this time of year: Mcllravy v. Abas (1993): Many many others—add one if you feel like it. Lincoln McIlravy is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total and complete hyperbole. Nolf kicked IMAR's butt and pinned him in the dual, giving him his first loss of his career. IMAR beat Nolf at Big Tens: 4-3 (TB2, RT) the first time (That's about as close as you can get). IMAr beat Nolf the second time in the NCAA final 6-5 (again very, very close). Nolf was leading the watch for a while 4-3. IMAR was called for stalling and might easily have been called a second time. IMAR got the TD to break a 4-4 tie with 13 seconds left in the third. Nolf escaped with 6 seconds left but time ran out as IMAR backed away. Nolf was a freshman. IMAR a sophomore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wrestled three times in one year. Have a look... Nolf WBF 4:57 (at Illinois) Gibbons: "Tim, that was no fluke. That was no fluke. Nolf beat him in every position, it looked like."

Funny definition of "kicking someone's teeth in". Records show Imar wrestled Nolf in the 2 years prior to losing to Joseph two straight years in the finals. First time was a fall, then the last two matches were. 6-5 3-3 (TB 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should keep in mind where you are? You opinion seems to belong on a different forum. Keep in mind the title of the thread.

Imar beat Brian Realbuto of Cornell for his first title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
