I'm not religious but, personally, I think that the Evangelicals and Muslims often make the best wrestlers because they listen to doctrine, coaching or biblical. And because they think it helps, it does. Whether God is actually helping is an open question we won't know the answer to until we die. But whatever that answer is is the reason many people are able to turn their lives around.

The winner, obviously!

I imagine money had something to do with the schism. I'm sure ESPN+ made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

As a Lehigh fan- yeah- they are young!

And a better Mohawk!

I'd have to go back to where I did it but I think when I did it I also separated Colonial. At the time it looked like both might happen.

The Ivies, like all conferences, will get what they earn. They will get AQs and if someone that falls outside of that number at the qualifier they will compete against everyone across the country just like they did to get the AQs. The only exceptions are where the conferences don't merit any AQs at a weight and then the champ gets one regardless. IIRC, the Ivies only had one weight last year without an AQ (184). And again IIRC the rest of the EIWA had 3 without AQs. Not sure if they got a qual after the event at those weights. So based on last year there might be 4 fewer earned AQs.

Does he help Shute up after the match?

What I recall was that they had rescinded it a couple years earlier but allowed anyone that had attended NCAAs already to be grandfathered in to go again if they still had eligibility and made the D2 finals or won D3s. And it wasn't the rules committee that did this. It was the NCAA bean counters.

I'm not the Wright guy to ask about that!

Wright from PSU back in 2000-2001 choked out 2 Lehigh wrestlers that year (Bernholz/Cote) both with Fred Ambrose as ref. Strobel sent in the Bernholz video. Although it wasn't technically a rule change it was looked at after that. I think Wright lost his next 10(?) bouts.

You said might be- to be sure check One More Shot. We thought Dan Hodge was the only one close to being an actor. I saw the clip of this one (Miracle) and thought the kid was the only one that could act.

During the Senior and U23 world's, I was helping remotely. I viewed the UWW stream for my mat and scored it as if I was matside. Using that software breaks the stream up into bout-sized chunks to be archived as per usual. We were the ones putting the commercials in. We did it between bouts. I don't know how they're doing it here.

Maybe he's branching out?

Should try to get Cooper Flynn a match with Cooper Flagg

And the top referee in that era.

One was EIWAs, I believe Chris's freshman year. And their trainer (Also Chris) went through the whole process and pulled him in Semis. He was able to get back to NCAAs.

I'm going to disagree with one thing here. We (Lehigh) wrestled 123-191 + Unl in duals. My understanding is that the East generally wrestled this combo and the West 115-177 + Unl. This must have differed school to school given JBs info- which would have included Lock Haven. I did notice in 1960 and 1962 we wrestled Okla and Colgate without either weight but all other duals that year had 191. 1958 didn't have 191 at all. And then as said- at NCAAs 115-191 + Unl. Definitely more bumping. Thad Turner wrestled anywhere from 167-Unl.

Depends on how long the hole is.

This is about as important of a discussion as what different areas call certain moves. Koch is pronounced- Cock, Cuck, Kotch, Coke. There is a family from NJ - Dufresne- where I think every member of the family pronounced it differently (or at least a lot of them). Du-frane, Du-frez-knee, Du-frez-nay, Du-fren.

I'll play a little devil's advocate here. And for full disclosure, I've known Mike for a long time (before HS) and know the trainer, Chris. Chris came to me at other events to pull kids, so I know it's not a pattern. You couldn't see the original head hit on the mat. And the issues later weren't so much while wrestling as when the ref would blow the whistle and he took his time getting up. He attacked and defended. So maybe he was tired or recovering from something.
