Michigan vs. Cal State @Bakersfield today

[Fadzaev2]

Got a phone call from a great friend yesterday, Lou Montano, who has been affiliated with both Cal Poly (who Michigan beat on Friday) and Cal State @ Bakersfield.  It had been a long time .......we've had some great times together.  Looking forward to watching, with some format, today's dual.  One of the discussions I had with him was about one of my favorite California wrestlers of all-time, Joe Gonzales.  Eric Guerrero's name came up too, as I first some him high school at the Ironman (from Independence High School).   Fadz  (yes, I was in America at that time to watch the Ironman)

In the past, I drove by Bakersfield when going to job sites, but this Sunday was my first time on the CSB campus.  

The Icardo center was a very dark and drab arena, contrary to what many people probably saw on video - the cameras greatly enhanced the brightness.  The CSB fans said that their meets had always been in this building.  I remember reading back in the 1980s that on an extremely limited budget, Joe Seay managed to turn Bakersfield into a national power while running practices in a converted science lab and on a single mat.

Best move of the day:  Yatooma, trailing against Morales, in the final 10 seconds, hits a perfect double leg, takes him straight into the air and then onto his back.
