11986

Didn't Metcalf say something like that about Palmer? he was content to lose by __?

got it

I think the Eastern regional went on for a few more years. Pretty sure that's how guys like Bowyer and Kurlander from JMU qualified for NCAAs. Think Edinboro was in it as well at soem point. The Virginia Intercollegiate was in an in season tournament, not a national qualifier.

the good ole Eastern Regional. Look at those teams listed from 1980 and how many are gone, sad.

Starocci to 165 battling O'Toole and Carr would be pretty crazy (as in I'd like to see it).

Davidson HC is Nate Carr Jr

after I posted about Koll being best candidate, I thought about the age consideration as well and I do think it is a factor. On the good side he is the CEO type as others have noted vs needing to be on the mat a lot. But yeah, does he even want to make a run at it for a decade or so? How many current head coaches are older than Koll?

To me Koll to UNC has the potential for most significant impact. I think other ACC coaches would 'fear' that hire the most. To me Ramos is settling. Burroughs Taylor Snyder et al will definitely create a buzz but are unproven. Kolat would be fine but not a game changer.

George Mason that is

cool info. Logan Stieber however was not an Olympic champ.

You’re correct Fishbane, I misread that, the Lewis/Gable ‘match’ does look like it was in ‘91 not ‘89. And agree a real match probably a lot closer vs an extremely long go in the room. But does show Gable wasn’t physically shot just yet.

That dude shoots daggers with his eyes man. To me he’s always had that quiet but cocky and I will back it up thing. does anyone else recall mention of John getting the better of Kolat around time of the 2000 Olympics? Vague recall of a post on the old forums way back.

has there ever been a D1 program in Texas? This is great news

from dangable.com 'Gable also served as head coach of the World Team in 1977, 1978, 1979, 1983, 1994 and 1999' so doesn't look like Dan was ever head coach when John was on the team. Of course doesn't rule out going in the room somewhere along the way.

Randy Lewis wrote that Gable beat him 50-4 in a room match in 1989. Not saying that means anything on how a hypothetical room scrap with Smith might have gone, but does suggest that Gable could still go in the room when Smith was on his run.

And whoever said Carlson was Classy? Triple C let’s go.

Thanks Fadz. Flyingcement answered earlier.

here's the text nhs67 Northern Oklahoma College Votes to Reinstate Wrestling by Seth Duckworth2 days ago2.3kViews Huge news out of Tonkawa today as the NOC Board of Regents has voted unanimously to reinstate their wrestling program and add a women’s team.

Some logistics are still to be worked out regarding facilities, coaching staff, and other items, but general specifics are in place for an eventual wrestling room and locker room.. The school will start competition in the 2024-2025 school year.

Northern Oklahoma College Votes to Reinstate Wrestling - Owrestle

I thought wrestling was 90% mental, and the other half was physical?

I’m blanking and too lazy to search it - Fix has 6 losses, 5 of them at NCAA tournaments. What’s the other one?

Death sentence for the Penn State program?

Thanks these were two of the ones I was thinking of.

does anybody have access to, or directly have any Rick Sanders stories? I remember there being some good ones on the old forums.

I'm just glad Stanford still has a team
