Are the brackets out yet? Link?

What's the hold up? I thought it started at 9:00.

RIP Coach. One of the legends of our sport and a great man. His 2001 NCAA title may never be duplicated. No finalists but 10 All-Americans. Three guys finished 3rd, three more finished 4th, two finished 8th, one each finished 5th and 6th, respectively. The Gophers' # 1 seed at HWT lost a heartbreaker in the semis by one point in OT, but came back to pin his opponent in 42 seconds for 3rd place, to win that year's Gorriaran Award. https://rememberinglegacyobits.today/j-robinson-minnesota-wrestling-death-obituary-legendary-gophers-head-coach-died-at-79/

Medicare may cover the treatment for cauliflower ear (auricular hematoma) if it is deemed medically necessary to treat an acute injury, prevent infection, or address functional hearing loss. However, if the procedure is purely to correct the cosmetic appearance of a hardened,, old deformity, it is generally not covered.

They need a means for challenging controversial calls. Since they're sometimes a little over the top (which doesn't bother me) they should use actual bricks. Also, the RAF ring girls are a nice touch. The NCAA needs to do likewise.

He will be facing...

Thanks - I accidently clicked on some highlights from RAF 6 instead of RAF 7. Duh! (That's why I edited my post, but it was too late! ha!)

I'm watching, Why are there no announcers calling the play-by-play?

^ I did some googling using the wrestlingstats.com website as it lists the All-Star Classic results from 1967 (the first one) through 2009 and each of the NCAA championship brackets. A quick comparison of results from those two sources reveals some interesting stuff, such as: In the 1970 NCAA finals # 1 seed Mike Grant (Ok State) beat # 3 seed Bob Ferraro (Indiana State) by a 6-1 score. Less than two weeks later, Ferraro pinned Grant in 4:56 at the All-Star Classic. Both matches were held in the 150-pound weight class. At HWT in 1967, #2 seed Curley Culp won by fall over # 8 seed Nick Carollo. Carollo made the finals by knocking off the # 1 seed Dave Porter in the semis by a score of 5-4. Porter bounced back to take third. A couple of weeks later at the All-Star, Porter pinned Culp in 3:38. https://www.wrestlingstats.com/NWCA/PDF/NWCA All-Star Classic.pdf https://www.wrestlingstats.com/ncaa/brackets.htm

IIRC many years ago the All-Star was wrestled a week or two after NCAA finals and I think some rematches may have occurred then. My memory is really slipping with age though. Hopefully, someone can fill in with details and any interesting results (especially revenge matches) that may have occurred. (I seem to remember there was one such case, but - as indicated - my memory is tty.)

Thanks for the info. Hope he makes a full recovery and can return to action.

Great post by his mom. What type of surgery did Kueter have?

AJ responded by declaring war, but says he needs time to heal from his torn knee. I'll be surprised if this match actually comes to fruition, but hope it does. Yonger smashed Mr. Fast Twitch in folkstyle and, as Mr. Stuclone suggests, it'd be an even worse beat down in freestyle. (I'm suspecting that AJ comes up with an excuse to avoid facing the Cuban again.) AJ Ferrari @mrfasttwitch @RAFWrestlingUSA Give me time to heal up. This time I won’t be wrestling with a torn knee. I declare war
