Oh yeah, that was rough. I am glad he got to retire on a somewhat decent finish at NCAAs (still bad by OSU standards, I know), and it seems like John is happier now in photos I have seen of him since. 1

Wasn't Joe also an AA? I would've rather seen Rogers go but some folks probably would've complained if they didn't go with the wrestle off results. .
