Rumor is his real name is Shane Spark, but since it's him, he pronounces in "Sparks" with his typical S at the end.

Franek isn't beating Haines. Woods is going to bounce back and notch a win against whomever it is PSU sends out at 141.

Technically, him and his brother.

and throw the brick wisely!

Agree - after seeing his interview and listening to his comments on mindset earlier this week, I've got Bartlett "upsetting" Mendez!

and he's trying to bring Rutherford on as an assistant.

Beard portals back to Penn State to fill 197 for next season

not hating on it, but overrated. Apple fritters are a much better treat!

jimmy at JChapman:

YES! Then any Marine Infantry in the crowd will have something good to eat instead of the concession stand stuff!

all fairness to Billy, I saw it on youtube yesterday.

"...he's a legacy from Harrisburg*." (*could have been Edmund Ruth!)

The big difference between the 50s-60s (even into the early 2000s) is that - for the most part - wrestlers arriving on college campuses have had hundreds of matches as kids and high schoolers. 15-20 matches instead of 40 is probably a better roi for how some college coaches view what's best for their wrestlers and programs. If the practice room is tougher than most tournaments and the work is getting put in, it looks like programs have put that over the stress of travel and multiple weigh-ins.

"Super Troopers" does have the line, "Yeah, well, you don't weigh-in, you don't wrestle!" = wrestling movie!

Uh, the Josh's went a little further west than Iowa City.

makes total sense

Same with the other college/university in Ithaca.

Daniel Cormier - World and Cadet Freestyle Bronze 6 X US Open Freestyle Champ 2 X Olympian (4th in 04) NCAA finalist (Sanderson) UFC Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion

As both of these universities are named after people, can this be a "duel"?

I was expecting something related to David Bowie on a wrestling forum talking about how Johnny was cutting weight and wanted to "suck on a Coke."!

Dual is not wrong, as it is TWO teams wrestling against each other to determine the outcome of a/the match. I coach and it is listed as Dual Meet on the schedule (as it always has been). Dual tournaments are also included (I haven't seen anything on track or flow as duel meet tournaments, either. Here's an event completed earlier this month: NWCA/USMC Multi-Division National Dual Meet Championships Duel by definition isn't technically incorrect, but it is more-or-less the mouth-breather way of stating Dual Meet.

John Smith is Italian from his mother's side. The ginzness didn't really matter.

Sanderson has had a number of freshmen finalists (9-10?) and 4 have won it, so it won't be too much of a surprise if Davis or Mess make it to the championship match, but it will be if they win. Crookham has a win over the defending National Champ at the weight. Shapiro is an elite talent, but those CKLV losses... I lean Crookham.

"Bravo, Old boy. Jolly good show putting that bloke in the drink!"
