  1. He was stopped for out-of-state tags that were expired. I was once stopped for expired tags but this was in-state in Virginia. My car wasn't searched. Maybe PA is tougher on this, or maybe it was the OOS thing that did it. The best non-paywalled article I've found is here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mma_ufc/nazareth-wrestling-legend-who-survived-shooting-now-faces-gun-thc-vape-charges/ar-AA1INzHj Lehigh announced his hiring on June 30th and his name still appears on the list of coaches, but no photo yet. A lot happened there in a short period of time and we're going to have to wait to see how it plays out. Gun laws vary all over the country -- I heard a while ago that the only document you need to carry in Missouri is a driver's license -- but the loaded gun within reach of the driver sounds really bad to me. That's how police are killed during routine traffic stops.
  2. Joel Sharratt departed Navy unexpectedly in 2020. Lost too many times to Army, I guess.
  3. Looking at my Lehigh files that go back more than 50 years now (somehow I don't look any different than I did back then) -- these are guys with no state or prep titles who placed at NCAAs. Some were blue chip recruits anyway, most weren't. Mike Lieberman, 2x Natl Preps 2nd, NCAA 1st, 3rd in 1975-76 (the last collegian to beat Chris Campbell). Tihamer Toth-Fejel, California 3rd one time, NCAA 5th in 1976. Denny Reed, PA A 4th and 2nd, NCAA 7th in 1980 (pinned A/A's to start and finish in his only NCAA tournament); I don't know that he was considered the team's starter at 142 until tournaments. Chris Ayres, 69-25 in NJ, 19-7 with Blair, no places, NCAA 6th in 1999. Mark Dufresne, NJ 4th once, 6-17 as a freshman at Lehigh, once wrestled both JV and varsity on the same afternoon at Army, NCAA 6th in 2000 as a senior. John Van Doren, NJ 2nd and 3rd, NCAA 3rd and 5th. Dave Esposito, NJ 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, NCAA 3rd and 2nd. Chris Vitale, PA AAA 5th and 2nd, NCAA 7th. Mario Stuart, PA AAA 3rd and 2nd, NCAA 5th and 4th. Current Lehigh Associate Head Coach Brad Dillon, PA AAA 5th and 3rd, NCAA 5th (after the worst OT screwing in NCAA history) and 4th. Derek Zinck, PA AAA 5th, 5th, 2nd, NCAA 8th and 5th. Honorable mention to Robert Hamlin, 4x VT 1st, 2x New England 1st, NCAA 2nd, 4th, 2nd -- I believe he's the only A/A in Vermont's history. Nicknamed The Vermontster (a few years later Connor McGonagle of New Hampshire wisely passed on the proposed nickname of The New Hampster). Scott Parker, PA AAA 4th, 3rd, 2nd, NCAA 8th and 7th. Ryan Preisch, 2x PA AA 3rd, NCAA 4th.
  4. I can think of a few others (Henson twins from Nebraska to Penn, Matt Greenberg from Columbia to Cornell, Rost Aizenberg from a JC to Cornell, I think Corey Anderson started somewhere else) but not recent. As you say, rare.
  5. The important thing to remember is that both persona were just acts.
  6. Maybe the B team wrestles for one of Penn State's other campuses? Hey, Formula 1 racing actually has that setup, in a major sport. Red Bull has been one of the dominant teams over the past 15 years; their second team changes names but is currently known as AlphaTauri. They just demoted a driver from Red Bull and promoted one of the AlphaTauri drivers into the car. Why can't Cael do the same thing?
  7. Peritore, Trenge, and Vice Admiral Kilrain (ret.) was my list.
  8. The coaches would all like it to be a spring-only sport; the NCAA vows that it's under consideration. That's what I heard from the EIWA coaches three years ago, that's where we are today. So I figure Cael opposes it.
  9. When did we become the Mustard Yellow & White?
  10. Just like my wife's Accord.
  11. Look at the Ivies and you'll find lots of 2019 HS graduates who greyshirted; their NCAA calendar hadn't started but time still marched on.
  12. That was Cornell College of Iowa, not Cornell University. Campbell's pre-NCAA press release referred to Wyatt Henson out of Lehigh, so I think that should disqualify them from consideration. Besides, any school foolish enough to drop wrestling doesn't deserve to win the big prize. My choice would be Lehigh, but I'm slightly biased.
  13. That's just because Texas was too cheap to buy new mats! 71. I'm told I look a lot younger, but it evens out because I feel a lot older.
