  1. Anyone getting sound on mat 1 (Cornell vs. LR)?
  2. Then there's no complete "recovery" from a concussion?
  3. He's fully recovered, just won't wrestle again. He's a student-advisor for the wrestling team this year.
  4. Yes, freshman year. Got concussed early in his match on 2/6 against O'Malley (Drexel), injury forfeited. Didn't compete again until the EIWA four weeks later. Got two MDs, then another concussion in the semis against Incontrera (Penn). Went 1-2 at NCAAs, clearly not up to his former self. Pretty sure the two concussions were independent events.
  5. November 11, 2013, at the Kaloust Bearcat Open (Binghamton), in 1:24. Sorry, don't know what time of day it was. First day of official Cornell competition for him. He also beat Nathanial Brown that day for the first of his six victories over Brown.
  6. Gabe Dean was pinned by Ruth.
  7. Shapiro hadn't lost a match (free or folk) in like three years, so who knows. And Cornell's trainer knows all about concussions, given that Foca had two and Ramirez one in 2022.
  8. My other brother played baseball when Reggie Jackson played at GS. Said he hit the longest home run he'd ever seen. I saw Tony Taylor, Jr. play there.
  9. My mom was a teacher (at Neshaminy HS), and my dad sold insurance and mutual funds. They valued education over whatever passed for that in Neshaminy. I and my brothers received exactly $0 on their deaths. (wrestling: my brother was 15-0 with 14 first period pins his senior year there; he's being inducted into the GS Athletic Hall of Fame next month for his successes in wrestling, track, football, and x-country)
  10. Not close in space or time.
  11. Close; I went to high school in Newtown, but not CR.
  12. None of those. Levittown.
  13. Cool, nice find!
  14. I grew up in Bucks County (just north of Philly), and we certainly didn't pronounce it the way Meyer does(I was classmates with Eileen Shapiro).
  15. It's a Delaware/Maryland pronunciation. I thought they had it wrong until I heard him on camera checking in at the matside table.
  16. Of course, his name is John Michael Diakomihalis
  17. Columbia's Babin (#27) pinned by unranked Anderson of UNI. UNI's Happel (#6) pinned by unranked Owen of Columbia.
  18. That's not what he said. He said that Crooham will probably be a title threat, but he believes that Vito is still the favorite.
  19. That article showed up between when I posted and when you looked at their site. Three possibles listed for OSU at 133.
  20. The teams I follow all produce match notes prior to competition. Said notes typically include projected starters. OSU is wrestling Lehigh tomorrow and there is nothing (no notes, no press release) on their web site on the match.
  21. Just looked for and found the OSU forum, where I found this (no idea as to its accuracy, of course): Apparently, that's taken from the even less-reliable Minnow: And are Match Notes not a thing at Oklahoma State?
  22. Julian Ramirez has also beaten two national champs (Griffith and now Carr), while not (yet) reaching the podium.
  23. Four philosophers are on a train in Scotland, where they observe a black sheep on a hill. The first philosopher exclaims "All sheep in Scotland are black!". The second philosopher says "There is at least one sheep in Scotland that is black!". The third philosopher smugly says "There is at least one sheep in Scotland that is black on at least one side!" The fourth philosopher then says "There is at least one sheep in Scotland that is black on at least one side...at least some of the time."
  24. Ivy schools also don't allow wrestlers to be enrolled in school if not competing without losing a year of eligibility. Logan didn't lose a year of competition to COVID, nor was he good enough to qualify for an Olympic red shirt, so that's two years right there for Arujau. Maybe Cornell can use this as *their* selling point: lots of their wrestlers leave with experience competing and winning on the international stage! Judging by recent recruiting results for Cornell, Lehigh needs to do something more to sell the Bethlehem experience than tout their ability to enroll while redshirting and competing as a graduate student. Those drawbacks don't seem to be hurting Cornell too much.
  25. Got it. You think that he was gassed in a dual meet against Sacred Heart in less than two minutes, because he adjusted his kneepad and singlet and took his time returning to the center of the mat. He did this in all his matches last year, and he then went on to win the U20 US Open and the U20 World Championship despite his conditioning issue. Here's him gassed all of :23 seconds into his first match at the U20 world championship. How he managed to get through the day is truly impressive what with all his conditioning issues.
