I shoe race horses... but I'm getting too old for that, taking a time out right now.... I'm thinking of hanging out with @ionel instead.

1983 vs 3-time national champ. I didn't AA the year before, my current record was 2-0 at beginning of the season and he was already 8-0, so he was more fit. I took him down right away, but he escaped and took me down...then I escaped and took him down again. It was a long match, with constant motion and with many restarts as we scrambled and ended up OB. After about 12 minutes, I looked at the clock, 20 seconds left in 3rd and I was ahead 13-12. I started running and got a quick stall call. With 8 seconds left he shot and I sprawled, and back-pedaled, he reshot and got a fingernail on my shoelace as I dove out of bounds, but he took me down at the edge of the mat to win, 14-13. Most fun I had in a match and didn't feel like a loss at all.

No Abbas Jadidi ability to have a snack during a match??

No Johny Hendricks ability to get pinned and not get pinned? /

And no Larry Owings double jointed ability?

Who was OW?

You are taking it out of context....go back and read what I wrote. Again, your lack of understanding the mental aspect tells me you weren't much of an athlete. PS (I'm sure addressing your first response to "aj" was a joke, but if not, I've been on these boards since AJ was in diapers that said Mr Fast Twitch on them.)

This tells me you were never much of an athlete.

I never liked this guy much, but after watching his interview, I was impressed. He came across as a superb athlete, physically AND mentally. I think a lot of us were a bit prickly when we were competing, feeling and acting better than everyone else, but that's a part of the mentality that makes you good. He's still young and we all make stupid mistakes when we are young. I think he's toned it down, focused his mind, and deepened his faith in whatever makes him strong...it doesn't matter if it's religion, or an amulet you wear, or wafting sage smoke over your body with an eagle feather, or a gumby doll. If it makes you feel good you will be stronger. I'm not going to fault him if his zen is different from mine. The power of the mind, most of you will agree, is imperative in wrestling. And he is entertaining. Wish I had his abs.

Definitely the bird... Iowa Hawk/Kestrel variety. Big medicine
