And he has another year.

He isn't in the OPC yet but is shown on the Minn website. https://gophersports.com/sports/wrestling/roster/gable-steveson/22871

Close calls either way but keep one thing in mind. When you are counting for a danger takedown, you don't start counting the instant the other guy goes to his back. You give it 2-3 seconds to be sure he's being held there.

Slightly different side of this. How many beat more than 1 previous champ on the way to winning one himself? Ed Hamer (Lehigh- '59) beat Alberts of Pitt and Murty Ok State in winning.

If we're talking people who became champs or were at the time Frick- Dan Sherman (IA), Milkovich, Breece (OK), Bennett, Churella, Yagla Close behind Mike Brown- Bohna UCLA, Mann Ia St, Loban Clemson, Harris Ore St, L Banach Ia,

Not sure that this is an exact precedent but ... https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/42254200/ncaa-makes-canadian-hockey-league-players-eligible-div-i

Hammers only come from the A pools.

That was mainly a number of mid-west schools in the mid 60s as I recall.

The statement was actually correct (notwithstanding the more literal picture above) which was unusual for Yogi. He lived in Montclair and when the road split- you could get to his house either way- https://www.facebook.com/share/v/ok3TiQTjvTmk2m33/

Albania is now on standard time rather than daylight- they do it a week earlier plus there's a delay with UWW- they're talking about 6am edt (9 minutes from now)

Not to my knowledge. Those are the bouts. Lehigh does them as more of an exhibition- not as formal wrestleoffs anymore.

No, not NIL. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/41702974/ncaa-approves-elimination-national-letter-intent-program

He reffed at Lehigh

I wouldn't say nearly guaranteed since he hadn't come that close to getting a knee down other than early on and wasn't getting him to move to the edge. However, he didn't give him much time and in my experience they usually give them a lot more time than that.

I haven't looked every day but I see he's showing on CSUB online roster. Here's his bio- https://gorunners.com/sports/wrestling/roster/aj-ferrari/8540

Interesting question about the ankle bands. We were given a "formula" to use to assign but it was based on school colors. Unless the guy that gave us the list used the blue for Fresno, I don't get it. Especially since if we had considered them equal the top guy (which was McIlravy) would get red. We let them reassign at the table a few years later when there was a major screwup between Nebraska and Minnesota (I think). Both reddish and must have had Minn on top. There was a stalling call at some point that nobody could remember what happened as they everyone was confused with the colors.

Hmmm... That does sound vaguely familiar. As I recall there was also a controversy over the number of shots taken and when. I seem to remember when I saw the bout sheet after the match (I was at the head table) and seeing how the refs marked shots taken.

Thanks for letting us know.

Yes and no. When I reffed (late 70s early 80s) I definitely remember the 1 pt hand to hand. But I also remember in my learning stages questioning the muckety-mucks about why we'd give 2 when the kid was spun through but was sitting up.

Posted same in the other thread but I don't see him on the roster or in the OPC. Was he planning on this semester?

I don't see him on the CSU-Bak roster or in the OPC. Was he planning on this semester?

A few random thoughts- Most people that watch freestyle/greco are probably watching the Olympics/Worlds or years ago (70s/80s) when there would be a USA/USSR dual somewhere locally. Most of the time both wrestlers are so good that you won't see much happen. When you watch HS/College (esp HS) most bouts are mismatches so you can get excited. Plus there's the parochial aspect of it in HS/College that creates a bias. Yes, we are biased towards the USA but we didn't generally know our guys that well (current video helps us learn the newer guys). I would probably favor intl style returning to some limitation on repetition of moves like guts/laces. Especially in greco where the refs might make an arbitrary decision on who to call passive first which leads to the end of match without giving the other guy a shot at same. Over the last several years when step outs were introduced, most people were concerned about it but after working with it most seem to like it. It's not a lot of bouts that only have step outs and it forces people to stay on the mat.
