Hurricane Wrestling

J was thinking the same thing. Koll might find the thought of returning to his alma mater appealing,

In a related development, the NCAA has opened an investigation regarding allegations that Messrs. Husker_Du and Bob Dole have been promoting an illicit "sig" betting scheme on the internet. They have retained the services of prominent attorneys Vinny Gambini and Vak Attack to represent them in this matter. Most legal analysts are predicting the alleged wrong-doers will walk away either scot-free or with a Hunter Biden type sweetheart plea agreement. Stay tuned to this forum for further developments.

...another reason this is such a great forum for true wrestling fans...

Careful or I'll report you to Bob for violating the "i before e except after c" rule.

I dunno, but "Cutter" seems an apt name for one of Coach Smith's wrestlers.

Nice end of match rally by Murin, but it didn't appear that he had Yianni in a controlled pinning situation for at least 2 seconds. Game try though. That said, losing by only 1 point to an eventual 4x champ was pretty impressive.

^ @Interviewed_at_Weehawken, sorry didn't notice your emoji at first. Mistakenly thought you were being serious. LOL!

To my knowledge, its always been that way. At any rate, the rule book specifically defines a near fall as as a "a position in which the offensive wrestler has the opponent in a controlled pinning situation." (See Section 5. Near Fall Art. 1.)

FIFY. I'm sick of al the mispelings on this forim.

That same year, Jenn (may he RIP) DNP at NCAAs. He went 1-2 and was teched by Eggum (who finished 5th) in his last bout. Had Cael wrestled officially that year, I believe he would have avenged his loss to Jenn (assuming they met again).

Well, that's why we call you Wrestleknownothing...(insert winking icon here)!

My answer was based on the hypothetical that the wrestlers discussed would all be given an extra year after their eligibility otherwise would have expired. Therefore, I wasn't talking about Cael's true freshman year. At any rate, its an interesting question, complicated by the fact that the weight classes that year were 177 and 190 and were changed in Cael's redshirt freshman year, when he wrestled at 184. Presumably, he would have had to have beaten Mitch Clark or Tim Hartung, the champs at 177 and 190 respectively (depending on which weight he wrestled). In either case I would have favored Cael to win, more so at 177 than 190, where he would have been undersized (and where Fullhart would have also been in the mix).

Reportedly, Taylor's coach (Alan Rice) figured out what Dietrich was up to and tried to stop the hug, but it was too late.

Thanks, Mr. jchapman!

Well, Cael would have definitely won five, but Taylor would have denied Dake his 5th.

No, it was a 1985 dual against Purdue. Here's the video:

Good point - and your needle example reminds me of this old biblical injunctive: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for Tom Brands to coach at the level of Cael Sanderson."

We’re really all different posters - just using old “the mat” usernames to throw people off. Good to see it’s working!

Where is Real Woods? I dunno. Maybe he's downstairs drilling right now?

Thank the Lord for men like Husker Du and Bob Dole - great Americans who still believe in free speech. Sadly, such men are a dying breed in today's "woke" environment. (In fact, Bob is clinically dead, but still manages to soldier on somehow. I suspect its the Viagra.)
