No worries. For more background, here's an NCAA News article, written prior to the start of the 1998-99 season... https://ncaanewsarchive.s3.amazonaws.com/1998/19981123/active/3537n03.html

I’d add Gene Mills in 1980. Tech falls were very likely introduced due to Mills. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Churella family. They run it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

After graduating from Michigan, Churella served as the head wrestling coach at UNLV from 1979 to 1984. While holding that position, Churella established the Las Vegas Collegiate Invitational Tournament, later renamed the Cliff Keen Invitational. I moved to Vegas nearly 20 years ago. I used to take PTO Friday afternoon, but it only makes sense to head over for the QF Friday night and maybe the SF session Saturday morning. I find it much more convenient to catch the SF and Finals on Flo, particularly since Flo allows me to view multiple matches simultaneously. The Churella family still runs the tournament. When I took my son to the finals about 4-5 years ago, old man Churella (Mark Sr's dad) was collecting money at the door.

No such thing as an UTB in college wrestling. Stanich beat Lemley in TB1. If they had the same amount of RT after TB1 they would have continued with SV2.

Why don't we just have a three day party for all of the national qualifiers and send everyone home with certificates of achievement?

The lack of a thread for the U23 World Championships is in line with the lack of production from the team. One silver and one bronze is not a good showing. Big dropoff from the 2023 showing. 2024: 1 SILVER, 1 BRONZE 2023: 4 GOLD, 2 BRONZE

Pacific time zone wake up call at 2:30AM.

I must be really bad at scoring... I thought it looked like a 12-2 TF, early in the 2nd period. 1st exchange: Sadulaev 4, Bagaev 1 2nd exchange: Sadulaev 2, Bagaev 1 6-2 at intermission 3rd exchange: Sadulaev TD (2) & two exposures (2+2). 12-2 Tech Fall.

Marcus Blaze proves in two consecutive matches that it is only necessary to wrestle for 20 seconds to win in freestyle. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Did you seriously think that Lalovic would share news about strategic changes within UWW with Christian Pyles? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bo got Spencer'd. Endurance is not an issue if you give up an early TD and several tilts.
