  1. I remember 1969. Most folks had a single rotary dial phone in their house and the party line system was still in use. Some establishments still had outhouses, maybe that hasn't changed much cause now we have @PortaJohns. Sure the 69 Pontiac GTO was one of the coolest cars ever but it ain't worth $300k today because its modern. Pat Smith brought in a newer "modern" era showing you could win 4x even as a true freshman. However, the 4x thing didn't really take off until Cael showed the way. It was rare even then for true freshman to start, most just didn't have the defensive skills out of high school and needed a year in the room. The next new modern came after high school and club coaching improved so much that these kids had the defense and technique right out of high school or before. I'd say there was another new modern when Cael started coaching. No one is saying 1969 is the "modern era." We simply have one long history of wrestling with a lot of changes throughout.
  2. Pretty sure it was stalling. Back in that day Iowa picked their ref, always had a stall caller for OSU and Iowa never got called. The Guerrero calls were legit, he gassed out.
  3. Some big names: Guerrero almost stalled out (won NCAA that year), crowd goes crazy. Ironside pins Kelly, everybody is on their feet unbearable noise level. Schmidt come back and pins McGinnis in first, you could hear a pin drop save for that one guy wearing orange. The coined rolled forever at HWT and you always knew the heavy who picked bottom would win in SD. PS: Pop prob didn't think it was BDE but it was.
  4. All I know is I've been to ~4 OSU duals in CHA and they always won. First one was the best dual meet ever. I was sitting in the midst of black wearing orange, it went back & forth all night and came down to coin flip at hwt. Last one sitting on row 2, came down to a tie. We knew the criteria before hwt and were high tailing it up the 40 rows to get to the airport whilst 14k+ bums in black were trying to figure out what was going on. I'm setting the O/U for stall calls on the MIB at 0.5 and I'll take the under.
  5. Did Danny ever wear mismatched shoes? I rest my case.
  6. Hamiti has been taken down once or twice.
  7. What is this "modern era" you speak of? Am assuming since advent of self driving cars.
  8. ...and that has what to do with what is going on in the year 2025?
  9. It might only cost us $7.50/mo if people weren't stealing their content.
  10. Wasn't this on Espn+? I'm surprised bootleg copies end up on YouTube so quickly.

  12. Paging @PortaJohn paging @PortaJohn!! Houston we've got a problem.
  13. So when he was born his dad gave him everything. Suppose it could happen, probably made it hard on his mom and older siblings. Pretty odd to do that at birth.
  14. Well pretty sure Byrd had a td at end so it's all even as far as Angel is concerned.
  15. Its not important for you to know.
  16. wish someone had loaned BB one orange shoe.
  17. Byrd with some chirp at the end.
  18. @MPhillips would like a word about joining the dummies in the back.
  19. Or he is spending the day loading up on ham & vinegar.
