    The recurring Lehigh flu. (and I'm actually joking, not mean-spirited; but I do remember they sat some guys against Lehigh in the past and we were told "flu.")
  2. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Rob Koll? Nico Provo? Hamilton?
  3. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    True, but that wasn't what I was hearing when I brought up Provo as someone Koll took with him. I was hearing '3rd stringer at best, no big loss.' Not bad for a 3rd stringer.
  4. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    As far as Nico Provo: I have been told more than once on this board that Provo switching his commitment to Stanford from Cornell wasn't really a loss to the Big Red program 'because he would never start over Ungar or Greg D.' Well, after having a great tournament this weekend, he has made it look like a big loss to Grey's program. Either Koll knew this kid had greater potential than Ungar or he's received better coaching in Palo Alto.
  5. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    I wouldn't say he's being rewarded for not being there, as he was already @#1. However, he didn't put it on the line this weekend. I'm a pack fan, but wouldn't have a problem with him dropping in rankings. Rankings are just someon's opinion anyway.

    What if both guys back up in order to set up their takedowns?
  7. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    The tattoos and the look? Or maybe the DUI?
  8. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    wow so cool

    Good choices. Marstellar seems like a great guy and a great story, but some stuff may scare off a risk averse (almost all) AD. Green is great with this group. Taylor seems to go back and forth. D1 coach was a goal of his, then I heard he was enjoying his club too much, now it seems like he's interested in the big time again.

    Statue of Maj. Dick Winters (Band of Brothers) in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, France.
  11. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    I love how thankful the French are for US efforts in WWI and WWII.
  12. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Bo and Keegan Bassett. Get ahead of the game.
  13. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    That would have been a long time ago. It was in effect in the 80s and 90s, at least for D1.
  14. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    The number of people who think a takedown is worth 3 in high school wrestling is terrifying.
  15. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Great pic! I think earlier in the war, the let you rotate out after 20 missions (as you mentioned). Later in the war, that turned into 30 missions because casualties were so high that they were (presumably) having personnel shortages (or could forsee them).
  16. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Absolutely.
  17. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Thanks goodness for men like your grandfather. 35 missions is a tall order! Listening to Rob Koll talk about his father in WWII is also very inspiring. I think Koll stated that the only trophies on display in his home are Bill Koll's medals.
  18. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Thank you, sir. Your make good points.
  19. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    No toxicity here!
  20. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Agreed. It was a good post until the "bellyaching" part. Probably should have left that out. I wasn't looking for toxicity, but admittedly have been focusing a lot of my energies into the study of WWII recently. Perhaps that made me a bit more sensitive? Have a great weekend.
  21. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    He literally said "stop bellyaching about greyshirts and covid years," because this guy took years off to fight WW2. Sorry, I don't let that crap slide.
  22. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Not sure what you're talking about? You literally tried to equivocate someone greyshirting to a man fighting fascism and ultranationalism. I'm not saying you are team-Axis, but the Greatest Generation deserves a little respect. The info was interesting; the context- not so much. Also, not coming after you specifically, I would have made that post regardless of the OP. (and your silly little meme isn't helping you; in fact makes your original post a bit more contemptible. )
  23. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    A little different than "greyshirting" and "redshirting" in order to gain a competitive advantage. This man gave up years of his life to fight against one of the greatest evils the world has ever known. I don't think that should be trivialized in the slightest. Yes, the spread of years is interesting, but fighting Hitler/Tojo should not be made light of.
  24. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Sport or survival skill?
  25. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    That used to be a rule in college wrestling. It didn't survive.
