Most memorable pins?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

A few off the top of my head:

• Bubba pins DT
• Nickal pins Martin
• Ramos pins Lee
• Gadson pins Snyder
• Joseph pins IMar

Who else do you remember?

[Gambatte]

1981 Ricky Stewart (OSU) wbf vs Dave Schultz (OU)

2002 Rob Rohn ((Lehigh) wbf vs Josh Lambrectht (OU)

[OMW]

Rohn pinning Lambrecht in the NCAA finals prior to getting bonus'd

Jaggers pinning Jake Strayer with a spider in the 2008 OSU/PSU dual in Welsh Ryan

Pincha knee knee pinning Spenser Lee in an Okie State/Iowa dual

Sarah Conner pinning the T800 in the hydraulic press at the steel plant

[BFosr1]

Since we are picking on Ohio State guys (jk) how about Conel pinning Kollin Moore in Cleveland.

[BFosr1]

Nick Piccininni pinning Spencer Lee was pretty crazy too. Freshman Jason Nolf pinning #1 Imar was a big one.

Konrad pinning Mocco to win National Duals.

Caldwel hitting the spadle on Metcalf

Weirdly, one that always comes to mind is Lesnar pinning Wes Hand at National Duals when Iowa beat Minnesota in 1998 or 1999. That was the first time I saw Lesnar and he looked humongous compared to Hand who wasn't exactly a small guy.

Coleman Scott pinning Joey Slaton.

Gotta be Picc pinning Spencer Lee. That was back when I actually liked Spencer, before the Brands turned him into a self-proclaimed "warrior".

Could have left that one out...

[Pinnacle]

Rob Rohn - he was cooked and dressed ten ways to Sunday. You never see a guy who is literally about to lose like that get a last chance pin. Cement Job from nowhere!

Cenzo - Imar always won that  position, until he didn't. Literally gave me goosebumps.

Bo Nickal - Martin had a pinning move set up himself, and to win the whole shootin match for both him and Ohio State. Then Bo elevator for the "That's What We Do" Natty Title!

[Old Dirty]

gotta be Rhon. Suicide

[SunDevil]

Daniel Lewis pinning Zahid in Tempe.

Mitch Shelton pins Dr. Death at Bedlam

Rohn's pin of Iowa's Jessman Smith in the semis that year.  Taken down towards his back, Rohn worked an underhook into a pin.  The "Anybody But Iowa" contingent in the arena erupted.

I remember this one.

A personal favorite:  Lehigh vs Penn State at the old Grace Hall in February 1974, Bob Sloand pinned Bob Woodrow at 118 pounds.  The Lions had won five straight duals and were favored in this one.  Sloand was cutting a lot of weight and fell behind 4-0, but a minute into the 2nd period (bouts were 2-3-3 then) he reversed Woodrow onto his back and decked him.  Loudest noise I've ever heard, a classmate next to me was trying to say something to me; I felt vibration from what he was yelling on my eardrum but couldn't make out the words.

Penn State won the dual, 18-15.  Five bouts were decided by one point, four went against Lehigh.

When I saw him in State College for the 2000 national duals I couldnt believe the size and shred on Lesnar.. It was insane and he scared me...my teammates where taking pics of him with disposables like he was Lou Ferrigno. FREAK

Back in those days OU had a helluva team and the series was a lot more competitive. 

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Ramos over Spencer Lee is probably the biggest one in the last 10 years, and it wasn't even in the NCAA finals.

That was a great moment. After Spencer's ridiculous "warrior" speech following his previous NC a lot of people were rooting for something like that to happen.
