    Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

    Really admire that kid (well maybe not a kid anymore). All kinds of injuries but he keeps at it because he loves it.

    Lee Kemp v. Jordan Burroughs. Best of 15.
  4. Major Kong
    Well, not stomped exactly, but did beat us.
  5. Major Kong
    Yup. If we win two of the 5 super close (3 OT and 2 1pt) matches, we win. I think (hope) we get 4-5 AAs this year.

    Props for correct use of NU!

    Wow, thought Northwestern already beat Illinois!
  8. Major Kong
    I'm taking a MFF on this one.
  9. Major Kong
    No worries mate. Everybody calls it NW - except us NU'ers!

    We've had good (top 15) teams on and off since I was there 40 years ago, but yes, this is a nice run and the coach seems like a good, caring and smart guy. Oh, it's NU, not NW
  11. Major Kong
    If all the starters go, NU wins 7 or more matches.

    Was at the dual. Harvard kids really wrestled hard and it was cool how obviously happy they were to win. Genuine "student athletes".

    Cam Caffey. Now there is a dude who marches (wrestles) to his own drummer.

    No, they are just clueless. The "play by play" kid knows nothing at all about wrestling and the "color" kid, though on the roster, doesn't know much.

    It's my beloved NU announcers. Handfighting and circling on their feet the wrestlers are "gridlocked", and have no "mobility". With both down on the mat they "dance" or "tiptoe"out of bounds. The top guy is "looking for some defense", "there's a lot of game left" etc. etc. Amazing that a U with such a big tv/broadcast school can't find someone who has a JV wrestler's knowledge of the sport.

    What if General Custer had a Piper Cub?
  17. Major Kong
    He'd be asking for stalling on Alice.

    If Ralph Kramden was a wrestling coach, he'd be Scott Goodale.

    As the resident NU fan, I would like to acknowledge the fantastic job the visionary refs did under difficult circumstances to recognize a fake pin and reward the deserving D'aug and the team.

    Dellavechia pinning Deakin in NCAA semis. Deakin had given up two back points in four years.

    You seem offended, or maybe just nasty for no reason. My son is long graduated (back before the "decline") but my post was not about him. But you are right, Rutgers was not after him, though a couple Ivies were. My point was, he was not interested in them, and many others felt the same, then and now, even those who were recruited. By the way, there are kids on the roster now who were low NJ placers.

    It is a good school. Like any good, big state u., you can get an excellent education if you want to and put the effort in. Or you can just slide by. The campus is not the most pleasant and there is little of that "college town" feel. I mean, if you want to stay in NJ, attend a top school with a top program, have the grades and get a solid aid package, Princeton is impossible to beat, IMO.

    Chris Christie meets Snookie at Bar A...

    Very NJ-centric, with the social and cultural overtones that go along with that. Hard to really know it without being involved in NJ wrestling.
  25. Major Kong
    I think the "NJ" attitude that surrounds the program is wearing thin for some recruits. If you have the grades and want to stay in NJ, why choose Rutgers over Princeton? And if you are good enough, why choose Rutgers over PSU? Or Michigan, or NU? And so on. My kid was an NJ placer and wanted nothing to do with that Rutgers vibe. Know for a fact he was not alone, and that feeling seems more pronounced of late.
