Dang, dang.. a true icon. You will be missed, Carlton . RIP Sir Haselrig!

Spot on, Med Man. Everything chopped except the photo of Churella with an absolute pin of Hendricks. i was thinking that Dan Russell pinned Pat Smith, in Smith’s college debut.

The Eavesdropping Know It All For me, I can relate to this, at the NCAA’s. You’re sitting, watching intensely, the tournament. You ask your friend, brother, son- sitting beside you, a question regarding one of the matches-or they ask you. One person sitting in front of you, has been listening-turns around and continually answers the question(s) before you or your compadre or yourself can answer....the private conversation. Very annoying.....

It might as well be $1mill bet, since anyone with Cinnabon Syndrome won’t pay anyway. Winnings could go to Gamblers Anonymous Charity

Chuck Jean. 69’ & 70’ ( sorry, Iwrite . I didn’t see your post right away. And I thoroughly agree with your Brinzer nomination)

I got your back, Med Man ...you too Hokie- if you need it. I’ve always been sympathetic, which leads me to being an enabler. Terrific!

The term, “ Kesseled”- will live in infamy.

Good picture of Yarygin. ” You didn’t lose, Hellickson- you just ran out of time!”

Stalling causes yawning, which is also contagious.

Good assessment, Vak. My thoughts are that 141 Lee will win a 1-2 pt decision. Also that Iowa /PSU will each win one of the 165/174 matches, and both results will be reversed at NCAA finals. PSU wins 3. I agree 100% on your description of Gable. He is good, but sure lost any respect I had of his character and sportsmanship.

255 posts, Med Man? C’mon...You’ve been around forever- Something is off base on this, “ like it “, or not.

I think even Pat Smith is calling it a pin.

Excellent, Med Man! Your descriptions hit home for me, and it WAS like I know you! Terrific.

I’d put Nick Lee on top of the list at this point. He’s been a hammer, wrestling with Retherford-ish intensity.

Terrific

Scrambling for control-contorting under, over, around, through, has progressed tremendously over the past decade. Wrestling for a takedown is different than it used to be. I am surprised there aren’t more injuries.

Big Bruce competed and won a bronze, in Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games- age 35!

Good call here, Med Man.

Terrific clip...thank you for posting

Brett Bourne, Navy Hwt from the early 90’s, was a high school freshman 105 lber.

I will verify your claim, Med Man. You are correct. I was there. From what I remember ( it was a LONG time ago), that Reimnitz was overzealous in his calls.

Kessel over Ryan Churela -2006

Excellent chop, Med Man!!
