Gopher Wrestling Club...Best Hwt room in the country. And the big guy didn't even wrestle.

I wondered about this one too, as it happened. Kharchla threw the brick back to Stieber, so he must have somewhat agreed with the ref.

How does Bartlett not know the score of a 1-0 match?

I tried really hard for 6' when I was a kid. Never happened despite my best efforts.

Trafficking could imply the presence of a 3rd party, such as a pimp, in addition to the john and prostitute.

I think Minnesota will recruit the state of Iowa hard this year ('27).

I've never thought of weight as an advantage for your better than average heavyweights. There is pretty much an inverse relationship between body weight and speed/mobility, as long as skill level is about even. Someone should do a study of high school and college Hwts to see how often the heavier guy wins, using a sample of random dual meets or tournaments. In college it seems like the sweet spot is around 250 lbs. Big enough to not get pushed around, but not so big that they slow down.

I want to see Mesenbrink against an adult male chimp, mono a mono, scratch weight. If it's jungle rules, surely the chimp wins, by using its treacherous tactics. However, if you make face ripping, eye gouging, and genital biting all illegal it might be a good match.

Yeah, the schools may be allowed to have 30 full ride scholies, but that doesn't mean that they will have the funding to do so. In fact, few if any will.

At one time, the site showed their weigh-ins. I think they were something like Cole M. 218, Mocco 230, Hopke 250, Merrill and Dellegata around 265. I don't remember what Ross was, probably somewhat similar to Mirasola. Don't trust me on these completely, I'm going from memory.

Minnesota had a 1st, 3rd, 7th, 8th, and another (Millard) who MFF'd after starting 3-0. These were all true or redshirt freshmen, and McEnelly was the only one who was a starter for the Gophers.

Where did he go to high school? I want to say Jackson County or whatever they were called then?

One of my college teammates just took 3rd in the D division. He was a weight class below me and a couple years younger, so I practiced with him some. He wrestled only about 10 pounds heavier than his college weight! I was that much over the day after a competition, and now about 30 pounds over.

Medical certificate? I need a defibrillator and an oxygen tank in my corner.
