    So many "Olympic alternates" and "1980 Olympians" and "1980 Olympic Alternates" out there, at least there used to be!
  2. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Maybe, but most likely fabrications.

    His mole is the Hawkeye board.

    How has Princeton held up? (I'm agreeing with you)

    I think Gutches lost wrestle-off to Charles Burton in Fargo.(I was there) I remember watching Cael at trials. I was impressed, but it also looked like he may have been trying to break Mike Van Arsdale's leg. It was stopped repeatedly. It would be nice if someone had a video? Van Arsdale won the bout btw.

    How many has he had? I thought he retired once, abruptly. Now he has made a post-surgery comeback that is still ongoing. Unless I'm wrong, which is possible, this makes his only farewell tour.

    This is what happened; it seems as if a lot of people misremember it. I think Gutches hit a couple feet to backs to win.

    What Olympic champ did Cael dethrone while still in college?
  10. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Helen
  11. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Agreed

    Reasons why to pick Hidlay: Younger, fewer injury concerns, more NCAA success, more international success. This doesn't even bring intangibles into account.
  13. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Not sure I would pick Gomez over Hidlay!

    Metcalf was pretty good and had some great wins (Sidakov); just couldn't put it together at Worlds. "Quick Single" on the old board, who was a technique snob of the highest order said that Metcalf was one of our best technicians at the time. That really made me pay a bit more attention.

    I don't think it was ever in the cards. Last time Vito made 57 kg, he went 1-2 at U23. That was one year before he won worlds up a weight. Also last time he and Spencer wrestled at 57, Vito got teched.

    Dressage?

    It seems to me that other countries, particularly Iran might be just as good (or better) with stepouts as a nation. However, I don't have the #s to prove this. All anecdotal.

    My understanding is that both Missouri and Oklahoma State are fairly close to large Air Force bases.
  19. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Yeah! Hill vs Pereira was so compelling!

    I just watched a video about Cox training Greco with Coon, with Coon basically saying Cox could be a force in the classical style.
  21. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Good luck with that one!

    Almost as if he has the "iowa attitude" that people complain about with folks like Desanto. Curiously, far fewer people complaining about MM's mentality and antics.
  23. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Yes. This happened to me around 91? About 1.5 minutes left in the 5 minute period. I had a decent lead (3-0 on three one pointers?) on a very good guy on the "national team," whom was also a D1 placer. He got a tight hold on me and i "slipped." This is where things went very very bad for me. The match did not end up going the distance... and I did not win. The first 3.5 minutes were probably the best I ever wrestled in my life however.

    Also, I'm not really sure what an "MMA style card" is? I really don't get it. A set of matches... kinda like the all-star match already is?

    Flo has tried. They had some interest but not a lot; had trouble getting guys to commit. Rudis tried. Didn't work, Askren tried. etc. I hope it could work. Hasn't looked good so far. Most guys seem to want to weigh in and wrestle less, not more.
