    I'm assuming this is Eggum's son. What weight?

    Truly. I'm surprised that he even competed for the spot if that was the kind of shape he was in. Hopefully things work out and he can heal fully and be back to his old self.

    This happened in the middle of action. Not during a break. Vito put his hands on his knees, dropped his head and looked straight down. I actually thought Vito might just literally just stop wrestling and leave the mat at this point. It was clear he didn't want to be there anymore and had realized he couldn't win in his current state.

    Yes, luckily they have 2 incredible classes coming in this fall and the next.

    I don't think it's a negative on Cornell that they have a 2x NCAA and world Champion, and 4x NCAA champion and World Finalist losing in Final X. And the "high school" kids also beat how many NCAA champions on their route to the finals? It would have to be a knock on recruiting for every other college program who can't beat these high schoolers as well.

    I just thought it would be nice to have a thread where we can post notable upsets and give credit to guys having breakout performances. I haven't looked into any brackets yet, so I have nothing to contribute yet.

    Sandy Stevens voice is synonymous with Fargo. Interesting decision..

    Vito looked tired half way into the first period. Spent a good 15 seconds adjusting his socks during a break. I can't remember the last time I saw Vito look so lethargic on the mat. Probably back when he was wrestling 125. Kudos to Jax though.

    Vito doesn't look like he has much urgency through the first period.

    I'd love to hear him air out his petty grievances.

    Yeah, that was really my intention. Most of the people the fit my original question are likely not known outside of fans of the program they wrestled for. Not many 1x low AAs backgrounds are well known by general wrestling fans. I was originally wondering how many walk-on type guys that maybe loved the sport but didn't start until high school/never had high level coaching before college made huge jumps and actually saw success at the D1 level.

    That's a good answer. I forgot he didn't win a state title. Like you said, with his high school resume (below) it's actually just kind of shocking that someone so good can graduate without a single title. Prep • Ironman Champion(2022) • Powerade Champion(2023) • Third at Ironman (2023) • Two-time runner up at State • Two-time Conference Champ • Fifth Place at Fargo (2021)

    Carter Starocci was the 2025 Big Ten Sportsmanship award winner? Clearly the committee doesn't listen to interviews or include vulgar tweeting in their criteria..

    I just stumbled across the old Jaggers finals match against Ryan Williams from the 2009 finals. Williams best finish was 7th in PIAAs during high school. Unlike our esteemed friend WKN, I pose a trivia question without having any answers.. But it raised the question.. who are some of the most successful D1 wrestlers you recall with a lack of high school success? Requirement for your answers is zero high school state championships. Don't you dare say Anthony Cassar on this thread.

    I'd be lying if I said my eyes didn't get a little watery watching that. Hard to see him so feeble. As you said, I'm glad he was able to give an update.
  16. BruceyB
    I'm not sure if you have the information readily available, but I'd be curious to know.. 1. What percentage of OT matches go to rideouts 2. Which wrestlers have been to the most rideouts 3. Which wrestlers have the best records in rideouts You have some guys that seem perfectly content to stand around for 9 minutes and let rideouts decide the match. I'm curious who is the GOAT of wrestling the most insufferable matches.

    Best comment I've seen in a while. Couldn't be more accurate.

    If I were on primetime ESPN and asked what it took to win a national title, and chose that moment to say "It was all me, there is no God, no Allah, no nothin'. The only way you can reach your goals is to believe in yourself." Then yes, I would scoff at myself.

    But now we need someone to take the heat off of Starocci. Oh.. wait.. Who's going to be the one to take the heat off of Brooks?

    I think that the portal is just a formal way to say that you are open to transferring. It doesn't seem like there are any actual regulations on changing schools. Unenroll, get dismissed, quit, who knows.. You can join any team for second semester.

    I am very excited to see what Ware can do at NCU. I do think Nickerson did a great job there, but it seems to be a good hire with a lot of upside. Best of wishes to NCU and Ware.
  22. BruceyB
    These are the kinds of posts I want from the notable guys that cover our sport.
  23. BruceyB
    You know exactly what this means.. or you're terrible at your job. Take your pick. Smfh.
  24. BruceyB
    You know it's bad when C.P. is skeptical on a public format. I'm not faulting Flo for being hesitant to make comments, but when nothing concrete has come out and Pyles is essentially saying this doesn't look good.. you know it really doesn't look good.
