Backpack Lizak. I'm not really suggesting Steen will actually achieve similar success, just having some fun with the notion of 'thrown to the wolves' as that was a thing on the old forums Lizak's 1st year.
I recall a Pa kid who wrestled 125 in the B1G and was routinely noted on the old forums to have been thrown to the wolves his 1st year and he ended up doing ok. With this W under his belt, maybe Steen just needs a semi rhyming nickname to achieve AA status down the road?
John Hartupee, who pinned Barry Davis at the NCAA tournament? (speaking of pins of a great wrestler, but maybe freshman year Barry doesn't count as great, he was the #3 seed though)
Lincoln McIlravy, interview before 1997 NCAA championship match vs Chris Bono. Interviewer (Jeff Blatnick?) asked him if he had a go to move. Mac’s answer “about 7 of ‘em”.
Ty and TJ ended up as teammates at UNC. Think Moore made blood round once while Jaworsky as you noted was a 3x champ. Moore’s younger brother Teague later won a title for Oklahoma St, which is where Jaworsky started his college career.
Colaiocco / Byrd match was 15-13. Sounds like a wild one, and not just the controversial ending as described on this thread. Any particular highlights or a general description of the action by anyone who viewed it?
Shawyer is out, will not place top 8. Worst Peterson get is 6th. Going back to original post then, seems likely the starting spot will belong to Peterson.
