D3 for LU

No probs... a bunch of folks went woopsies in spelling his name in the past. Consider yourself now, edjumukated on said subject! (Huzzahs all around.) D3

As far as I can tell, ^^^Ayers^^^ only time he wrestled in the EIWA's for Brown was in the 1999 tournament @ ARMY West Point. 157lbs bracket (where Chris Ayres was the 1st seed)... Ayers went two & bbq. Yeah, he wrestled. D3

... but he was STILL yelling at guys randomly, right? D3

tanxs! D3

You asked for it... You got it! (... sprinkled liberally on toast.) D3

^^^Agree.^^^ D3

Amen, brother RB, Amen! D3

... so will Ayres, as well. https://goprincetontigers.com/sports/wrestling/roster/coaches/chris-ayres/9729 D3

No one should be, really. D3

Oh, I agree... (Check it out:) cheers! D3

I definitely remember back in the "old" forum there was a poster who was absolutely BONKERS over Chris Fleeger. His(hers?)post was usually one word... FLEEGER! (Who was that poster?) D3

Earlier in Max's career at Cornell... he lost in the finals to LEHIGH's Ryan Preisch by fall. (Yeah, I know Dean wound up AA'ing @ the NCAA's while Preisch missed the podium that season /2018.) If you have a Flo subscription check out his match for the '18 EIWA finals... it's not for the feint of heart. https://www.flowrestling.org/events/6056313-eiwa-championships-2018-ncaa-wrestling/videos?playing=6131398 D3

Woops... it's now changed to InterMatters. ("Brains" is now, yesterday's news... ) D3

As far as a zombie meals -on - wheels program... that may be worrisome to most of us. To others, well... D3

Ahhh... that 15 min. thingy again. (Always a "gotcha" if you're not on your toes after you post... remember, start that countdown after you hit "enter" on that keyboard!) Yeah, cue that Europe song... D3

It, just kind of sits there... until someone picks it up. (Ya know whut I meen?) F3

Clarion's James Fleming and his "Snapper Roll" GOAT... AA 5th @ the 2012 NCAA's From a Tibe Live article 3/25/23: And then there is the “snapper roll,” Fleming's signature move, highly effective and violent. And his very own. It started in high school, evolving into a powerful weapon that has produced complaints, controversy and many of his 121 collegiate wins, which rank 10th in school history. The name derives from his nickname and not because he is trying to break off his adversary's head, even though it might look that way. After frequent and vehement resistance, coaches and officials gradually have come to accept the move. Rival fans unaccustomed to it still react harshly. “We had some problems my freshman and sophomore year,” Fleming said. “They said I was choking people. The thing is, it's a one-of-a-kind move, and most people would think you'd be choking somebody.” One coach was so convinced that he sprinted onto the mat when one of his wrestlers screamed in pain. Other coaches and officials “were literally all over (Fleming),” said Moore, who lobbied the NCAA for the move, sending a video to prove its legality. “Officials would come into the prematch meeting and say, ‘Look, I know what this guy does. I'm gonna call it,' I'd say, ‘What are you gonna call? The way he locks it up is legal.' Just because it's extremely painful, there's nothing in the rulebook that says it's illegal.” Constant pressure The move, which can slightly deprive an opponent of oxygen, has several variations. In the base move, Fleming locks his hands across the opponent's jaw line with his left thumb by the right ear and his right shoulder covering the left ear. The head is turned sideways, and “I'm torquing his head underneath him,” Fleming said. “The pressure on the jaw and on the neck is what inclines people to go over.” Meaning on their back. Where they get pinned. “It's tight and uncomfortable, but it's under constant pressure, more than like a hard snap or anything,” he said. Fleming does not hide the move's effectiveness and how it inflicts what is known as “legal pain.” “The good thing about my move is that a guy won't want to go out on the mat and wrestle me again,” he said matter-of-factly. “I stay in people's heads. I want them to know that the next time they wrestle me again, it's gonna suck. I make that part of my goal. People don't like that.” Clarion coach Troy Letters said, “There are a lot of guys that are afraid to wrestle him. James can sense that. And when he does, it's lights out. He's like a lion that way.” Among the unafraid is Fleming's teammate and wrestling partner, Mikey Pavasko, who has felt the wrath of the move more than anyone. He said he is “extremely fortunate” for the privilege. “He's a great leader,” said Pavasko, a sophomore from Munhall. “He shows me what I'm doing wrong, and he wants to build me up as a better partner.” But it hurts, right? “You can't even put it into words,” Pavasko said. “Yeah, it's painful.” Using tactics, familiarity with the move and his considerable skills, Northwestern's Jason Welch is 3-0 against Fleming, beating him twice in the NCAA Tournament. The first time, Fleming said, the referee called the move illegal but not before he made an impression. “My neck was killing me for like a week afterward,” Welch said. The two have developed a mutual respect and friendship. They even hung out together after last year's NCAAs. Welch is ranked No. 1, and another meeting in the tournament is possible. “I'd love to see that,” Welch said. Amateur wrestling is tough, demanding and often violent. Yet even in that context, “You rarely get kids this aggressive,” said Moore, a former North Allegheny High School star and NCAA champion. “When we brought him into Clarion, the first thing we said was, ‘Don't change your style at all.' We wanted to tweak some things, but my thought was, ‘If he wrestles with this tenacity in college, he's gonna go far.' ” cheers! D3

Hate to admit it... but, yeah! (...right on down to the throat slashing maneuver. ) D3

Uh, even w/o Kasak, isn't the nits pretty tough anyway?!? D3

... wait, wait, I didn't know, or, as far as I could tell, Spencer wasn't in the military. Not as a commissioned officer starting at O-1... not even enlisted as an E-1. D3

... in practice, don't have the lightweights next to the 285'ers in the room. It may be hazardous. D3

I was about to say, that Brian Meyer is done, but a quick look at the LU roster for this year shows that he DOES have one more season of eligibility left. tanxs again lu. D3

Found it... This was under the forum topic: Anthony Noto Drama back in November D3

Indeed a warrior. Wow! D3

Hmm, Beard has all the tools that he should need to go to the next step up... until his gas tank found a way to empty itself late in the season. Would bringing in Truax thru the portal to LEHIGH, motivate Beard to that next higher step? Hmmmmmmm. D3
