Invited walk-on at a Top10 team for a major Eastern D1 University (I was there on a NROTC scholarship). I didn't wrestle a match for the team and other priorities led me to leave the program. But it was a great and tremendous experience while I was in the room.

3/4 ton class

Crookham takes him out at Journeyman. Where to rank Crookham, who beat teammate #6 McGonagle and #1 Arujau?

@lu_alum why didn't you do, "I really enjoyed the Lehigh - what is the recruiting vibe / reputation? era

Wrestled at a Juco for 2 years. Average to below average. Transferred to a small D1 school. Had some eligibility issues. Wrestled and lost a couple of duals, had some wins in a couple opens. Got a degree and have a decent job. Eventhough I wasn't successful at wrestling it helped me beyond belief in life. No better sport than wrestling.

Paul's head is gonna explode...

That match was god awful. They should both pool their money and try to pay Flo to erase it from the internet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry-ano curse live on, as Howard goes 1-2 at Journeyman. "I really enjoyed the Robbie Howard is going to AA era."

Been on a bachelor party this weekend (for which I am far too old) so just catching up on matches now. This was a great dual. 125 was a huge surprise to me

Why? Read my recent post. You guys need to chill. I will stick with my last statement. I already knew he lost a match. I've wrestled NCAA Champions. Div 2 National Champions. In the finals of CKLV. Had 2 older brothers that kicked my butt regularly in Ohio. This is peanuts.

It really doesn't matter. A healthy Vito will easily beat both of them. This is early November. Lots of wrestling to go before March comes.

Icarus of Ithaca falls. Maybe once you win the World(s), the only place to go is down ...

Crookham made sense as the starter, given his HS background. The kid had two PIAA titles and 100 wins by the end of his Sophomore year. Had to sit out as a JR due to transfer to Saucon Valley and then won as a SR while recovering from an injury. His crossover final bout vs Vito should be a good barometer as to where he sits on the national scene.

I found an email in my spam folder regarding Young, et al. v. FloSports, Inc.., Case No. 2023LA000516 (In the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois, 18th Judicial Circuit). It is related to Flo failing to properly disclose automatic renewal charges and cancellations terms. That's really not surprising as Flo won't even tell you how much the service costs until you enter an email and set up a password. That always seemed to be putting the cart in front of the horse to me. Anyway. Class members have until 1/25 to register or exclude themselves from the settlement at https://fsrenewalsettlement.com. I've copied the relevant portions of the email below "The Class Plaintiffs allege that they were enrolled in automatically renewing subscriptions for FloSports’ content without adequate disclosures and notice regarding renewal charges and cancellation terms. FloSports claims its subscription renewal practices complied with all applicable laws and regulations and that it fairly disclosed all terms associated with its subscriptions. Thus, FloSports denies all allegations of wrongdoing, and the Court has not determined who is right. Rather, the Parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with ongoing litigation." Am I a Class Member? Yes.

Impressive win for Little over Jaxon Smith

Sounds like a real barn burner.

Never wrestled in a program. A couple times in IMs. However, I'll give you a HOF workout partner list. Bob Zaro- 2x NJ Champ (same HS he was a year behind so his homeroom was right next to mine). Herb Campbell- Undefeated NJ Champ as a senior, Lehigh captain. We were in the same freshman dorm. When he found out I was from Pburg he said let's wrestle. I told him I never wrestled. "It's ok- you're from Pburg". For years I thought he was suggesting that anyone from Pburg could wrestle since Pburg was #1 in the state around then for years (sometimes sharing with Paulsboro during their first big streak). I found out later the real reason was that Herbie's last loss in HS was at regions his junior year to a 2x NJ runnerup from Pburg. Mark Lieberman- Not really a workout as much as he grabbed me and put me in a lap tilt. Somehow I popped out of it. It stunned him and he let me go asking me how I did it. Self-preservation, I guessed. Pete Schuyler- NJ Champ and NCAA AA. Darryl Burley- NJ Champ, 4x NCAA finalist and 2x Champ. Admittedly they were drilling and I was going live (and they weren't having any difficulty)

I agree..... your anger can't peak this early....it's gotta build to that right moment when you need it most. That's what a good coach does for you...helps you peak at the right time. You're welcome.

I can sympathize with this! I wrestled D1 and made it to the NCAA tournament 3 times… never AA’d though. I know how hard I had to work to even just get there, so I feel bad for all the guys falling short of their goals and then having to hear crap from us fans! I’m sure it’s much worse today with social media… it’s probably hard for the athletes to avoid

He (Davis) did. Majored Steen

I've been waiting since about noon for you to throw in. That's really good, for you...

I'd rather stare into the upcoming solar eclipse.

Don't forget the speedo.

I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby. Those kids don't knownothing...

That dude never had an era. Ask my kids.

This is my opinion so take it for what it is. Whitting should start. He’s earned it. Hawks maybe be a former World Team member, but that was the past. He’s plateaued offensively. Whitting who was third string last year has obviously gained on both Hawks and Harmon. Yes Smith could use each wrestler in spots, but right now it has to be Whitting.

Did you take @nhs67 with you? Cats been missing since the MSU Open started. Your absence was noted...

Really enjoyed the "wrestle know nothing era."

*Wrestleknowitall haha

It's okay to laugh and maybe even joke. This isn't the, 'Non Wrestling Topics' forum. This is peanuts...

Because Vito just lost. I think I'd go Fix, Crookham, Vito.

Where, indeed... somewhere in the upper top ten? D3

Even bigger after those two wins.

I really enjoyed the claiming an era that was never claimed to be an era era is over. Edit: Doh, then I read that antitroll actually did say that. My apologies, Gus. But I will leave it out there rather than delete.

Wow, just watched Crookham vs Vito. Crookham has great takedown defense. Like the other said, not sure I would pick him in a rematch but he’s very legit.

... and pretty sure he has trademark on the guarantee.

He's a treasure...

NCAA champ... MOW. World Champ 61Kg... Went down in defeat. (I wouldn't bet against Arujau in the next encounter.) D3

I'm sure Cael has a plan. This year the plan may be to score twice as many points as 2nd place regardless of what happens at 125.

Hopefully this thread helps with this. Doesn’t seem there are a ton of 4x AA multi time finalize / champs for a reason. When people say things like …. So and so stinks he is barely a r12 guy…. Or is only 2-8 in the big 10 or whatever. It’s pretty sad sometimes. It’s like we eat our own sometimes. I say sometimes to much.

Was a multiple placer and state finalist in middle school , underachieved some in hs , 1x SQ, , Wrestled D3 for a top 25 school for 2 years , they went out of way to help me get in and get me set up bc I was on my own , Unfortunately they should’ve just enrolled me in clown college for the way I acted the first year …spent way too much time partying and making 6-7 hr round trip drives home to see my GF , …locked in 2nd year ,made nationals ,won a match ,but working full time /class full time and wrestling full time was too much , that summer got offered a job making real $$ so I left to join the real world …still regret passing up those 2 years I have an impressive hit list of guys that have beat me though lol, Lost to Molinaro and Darrion Caldwell in high school, Alex Meade my first open tournament,beat D3 NC before he was champ Vincent Renaut , also beat Former Rutgers heavyweight Billy Smith before his growth spurt up to heavyweight ,i also once headed locked jimmy Sheptock, got the 2 , he rolled thru and proceeded to beat the daylights out of me for the next 5 minutes

Don't forget the swimmer! We'd know nothing of historic stats and fictitious pinfells if not for the swimmer.

I was a mediocre high school wrestler. I ended up going to school at UW-Madison (not for wrestling) but didn’t want my competitive days to be over so decided to try and walk-on even though I knew it would be a long shot. I still remember the first time we went live in preseason thinking holy shit I feel like I’m going to die! Anyway, I initially got cut and was kind of just content with the opportunity to be in the room. But Barry Davis, who was the coach at the time, said something to me like you can come back and wrestle with us once the season is over. That kind of surprised me, like he actually noticed me during preseason. Those words were enough motivation that I really trained my butt off and came back once the season was over. I trained with the team in Spring and summer and was able to walk on my last two years of school. Mostly I was beat up each practice but every now and then would get a takedown on a good guy and make him upset enough to really beat me up! Being in the room for my last two years of school is probably the most formative experience I’ve had in my life and one I’m grateful for.

Was a good high school wrestler. Was a preferred walk on at a (now defunct) MAC program. Tore ACL freshman year, and then partied too much. Forgot about wrestling for about 15 years. Went back to a local CC and joined the club team around age 33 or 34. Ended up qualifying for NWCA nationals and went 1-2 there. Most fun I had had in a long time, but it nearly broke my body. Now I've been a high school assistant coach for almost a decade.

VT’s IG account has each hokie’s walkout song and BA is listed. Things could change but for the hokie fans, and wrestling fans in general minus the buckeyes, sounds like BA is a go. Buckle up and don’t blink if he does go

Ask David Attenborough or @flyingcement they seem to have all the answers...

Lol yeah

I like the current arrangement where I know the information already but I pay them to recite it back to me and they get it wrong.
