I think I remember it being five times. Either way it was shameful. Mainly because a racist coach wanted Gable in place of Bobby. So, he forced wrestle offs over and over and over again. May well have contributed to Bobby not placing higher - wrestling the young Gable was a meat grinder. The Dan Gable we remember from International competition was more seasoned and a real killer in 1972. Bobby wasn't beating him then. The Russians weren't either. The story of them scouring the land looking for anyone who could beat him are true.

He has lost a half step and isn't dominating top competition any longer. When it is time he will retire. Until then, more power to him. Keep going as long as he wants and can beat others to qualify. Do wish Cael & Co could get him to smooth out a touch and get at least two newer moves in the mix.

So much foolishness about someone who is a myth.

Good luck to him. Will be nice to see him not hampered by injuries.

He is coasting. He didn't try Worlds after the Olympics because he knew he probably wouldn't do the miracle finish again. That was when he was in wrestling shape. Not as he is now. He can hang it up and fart around with the 'rassl'n clown show. He is done with the real thing.

Dan Gable may be slighted by many who are younger. Those of us who were there know the reality. The Russians were scared of Gable. The story of them scouring the land for someone, anyone - to beat him are true. He dominated. A grinder on the mat - he ground the competition into it with unrelenting arm bars that would numb the shoulder. He punished opponents. He had a major effect on his fellow wrestlers and many of them credit him for helping them improve. He had a short international career. Many on those days faced that reality. Hard to make a living as a competitor in the US. For sheer domination we have not seen anyone at that level since he retired.

Ono won't be at Penn State. The Orange Peril will have ICE pick him up and deport him - since the Prez is now an OSU fan after watching the Airman beat the big bad heavyweight. All the schools with immigrant/foreign wrestlers had better watch out. OSU is lucky Amine is not eligible this year or they might find themselves with him being deported during a lung time out in a match.

Maybe they didn't recruit? If he showed interest, in the climate today they would tell him "This is the Dollar package available". Not necessarily recruiting. More like reality with NIL and paying athletes. After college most wrestlers will never get another dime for their efforts.

Here it is. Bono has lined up the dollars & we know Wisconsin is desperate. The youngest won't come(yet) but the next one will. Double Ferraris in the garage - and Bono looks like a Genius.(as long as he doesn't let AJ drive a car)

He ought to nail your azz to the wall for libel and defamation of Character. Putting crap like this in writing - you deserve it.

Is that better than referring to him as a Richard Head?

Why not, the Bible Selling charlatan and serial liar Donald Trump is playing that game.

Watching him this year was nice. He did not have the size to match some opponents but his technique and hustle won a lot of matches. Will he drop? Should he drop? Or, will he spend time bulking up a bit while trying to keep his speed and endurance? He is still a growing boy so maybe he matures into the weight? Either way he looks like a definite threat to win it all.

There isn't one. Not now. Maybe in the future? The Squawkeyes can only hope.

Will they start with Meyer Shapiro?

He has always seemed like a good coach who really cares about his kids. Works hard for them. A tireless promoter for his team and school. When it is finally time to go I hope he knows it and doesn't hang on like Bucky Maughan at NDSU.

Carlton Haselrig - 7 times.

We saw Dan Gable make history. Maybe it is time for the Squawkeyes to try it again? After all, the Iowa guys who are hired to coach look good and then go flat.

To listen to the wind sweeping down the plain. To watch the waving wheat and smell it when the wind comes right behind the rain. They will find girlfriends and sit alone and watch a hawk making lazy circles in the sky. Compared to Penn State? Who wouldn't jump at the chance to go there?

Coaches. Maybe it is the Coaches? Test Cael because it is obvious. TheTerribleTwins - maybe, but it sure isn't helping. Manning shows it with his hair and crazy sideline antics. Then we have Ryan - probably hooked on them after the Hospital stuff. The power when he throws The Brick!

If he knows who, say who. Otherwise he is tarnishing a lot of wrestlers who don't use.

So far Cael & Co aren't even half way to a tie with Dan Gable and 9 titles in a row. What he is doing puts him at the level of Gable but I don't think 9 in a row will happen for PSU.

Is Ridge Lovett a Mormon? Post Falls, Idaho has a lot of them. His team mate Hardy is and even served a two year Mormon mission.

At least five times. Maybe the Orange Peril will use the Tournament for his PR blasts inbetween getting more treatments to enhance the Orange color? Then he can claim to be a great Oklahoma State University fan - showing school colors?

Yep, God likes one and favors him and makes sure all the others lose?
