peanut Posted March 19 Posted March 19 After studying the TikToks, I learned that some of the youths are revolted at the idea that people who walk among us were born in the 1900s. I guess I can see that, given that the typical college freshman was born in late 2004 or 2005. That means they remember virtually nothing that happened before 2010 or so. But then it got me thinking. Are there any active NCAA wrestlers who were born in the 1900s? I’m guessing there are few “seasoned” stragglers out there.

Flew into Budapest with wife and two kids, meeting middle child in Prague. First day train to Vienna, ticket window attendant no English. I was telling him 4 tickets to Vienna showing 4 fingers (he mightve thought giving him the flock of birds). Halfway to Vienna they come around to check tickets, only paid for 1, fortunately only wife & two kids wouldve been throw in the slammer cause I had one ticket. Yes we were able to buy 3 on the train. 1 1 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC

Bernie Truax the Original may have been born in the late 1800s. It was actually a misprint on his birth certificate, but he's actually Bernie Trua XIV - in which case the Trua family goes back many more centuries

I noticed Bernie has "IV" tattooed on one of his arms. I thought it might be because he has finished 4th three times at NCAAs. But maybe it is because he is the 4th Bernie in the family. If he finishes 4th for a 4th time, there may be a reason to suspect a either a Conspiracy of a Gang of Four, or a Conspiracy of One: Bernie himself opting for consistency. 1

cowcards Posted March 20 Posted March 20 There are still a few guys from the 2017/2018 classes hanging around. I’d imagine they are all born in the 1990s. Guys like Mekhi Lewis and Feldkamp. Just look at those old recruiting rankings and you’ll get a good idea.
