  1. Greco is too tough. You can roll over a pin yourself when you're tired. Freestyle is at an all time in the USA. Its was a golden era with Burroughs leading the way. Snyder. Dake. Taylor. All multiple times world champions. Forrest. Duke. Blaze. Bassett, Miller etc. Hard-core freestyle kids. It's awesome to see this happen in our country. We will surpass Russis and Iran. Which was nearly inconceivable a decade ago.
  2. Where? The coverage is better and the elite wrestlers are better. No doubt. But, the sport is in decline. Girls wrestling has increased though. The elite high school guys are awesome, how about your local non power schools? So many forfeits and pins. There aren't any fans there, except their parents and friends. Not to mention the number of D1 colleges who have dropped wrestling since 1970 is staggering. Yeah, title 9. I honestly don't know how much longer it will be before we see D1 wrestling with under 50 teams. Especially with the poaching and open market NIL.
  3. It has to change or the sport will continue to decline. The forced stalemate is stalling. But, somehow its rewarded with a restart.
  4. Correct
  5. They most likely will favor Taylor until they wrestle carl university.
  6. It's the subjective nature of folkstyle refs who are intimidated by certain coaches.
  7. Yes. Folkstyle is an embarrassment to wrestling!
  8. He is our senior team member. He was going to be 159/0. The second coming of carl, if you will.
  9. Because they're barely coping with the loss.
  10. Duke was a senior team representative for us at world's. He is not your average true freshman.
  11. I was told that Big Tens don't matter, unless they win Big Tens. Is this still true?
  12. They love Paterno more than anything in the world including Carl. That's all folks...
  13. Most 141 lbers fit that description..
  14. It was a lot of fun. That's for sure.
  15. I also had, for a short time a Chrysler Lebaron. I felt like Huggy Bear for about 6 months.
  16. There's nothing wrong with them, but is there anything right about them? 85k to 125k pick up truck is ridiculous unless you need it for work. A pick up truck should make you money, not waste your money. I own a Chevy 3500 and a Silverado 1500 fwiw.
  17. I had a 74 Mustang 2. Nothing but problems, but it looked cool. My favorite car (when I was young and broke) was my $100 Dodge Dart with a slant 6. Lots of room in the back and trunk.
  18. What about wrestling Indiana and Maryland on the same weekend?
  19. Yes. It hurt the team when let Snyder freelance his way to an Olympic Gold medal. Those guys are idiots.
  20. It's even tougher losing to a kid name Fishback....
  21. Port beat Retherford at ncaa's that year.
  22. https://gofightingscots.com/sports/2012/6/28/wrest_champions.aspx?id=17 Unbelievable talent development during their heyday era.
  23. I'd say it's going to be closer to 50 than 100.
  24. Man, I miss those Edinboro teams.
