Nice seeing DT, wrestling & FinalX being promoted ..
Most wrestlers are merely masochistic and not sadistic. Zain Retherford is one of the exceptions. #AskAWatermelon
Or ask Pantaleo about Zain.Most wrestlers are merely masochistic and not sadistic. Zain Retherford is one of the exceptions. #AskAWatermelon
Maybe... just maybe... that guy can coach. Yeah... I don't know?
David Taylor seems to listen to him, but what do I know if I'm a jaded, opposing super wrestling fan from a school not accustomed to that kind of recent success? What does 7 NCAA Team Titles in 9 years and 18 National Champions in his coaching career really mean? 58 All-Americans... World Team Members... Olympic Champion Best Friend "coached" by Cael. Asst Coach elected into their College Hall of Fame. Coach... yeah... but how good is he really?

To final X State College? Last we heard, there were at least 6,000 tickets left to sell.
I remember reading one of Ray Brinzer's comments on one of the message boards where he said that wrestlers should try to inflict pain on their opponents.Most wrestlers are merely masochistic and not sadistic. Zain Retherford is one of the exceptions. #AskAWatermelon
In relation to Retherford, that bow and arrow, paired with a cross face is just brutal. I, for one, think it should be an illegal hold, just as it is in high school (or, at least, used to be; I don't follow high school wrestling at all).
Charged with Resisting Zain. Found guilty and sentenced to yet another bow and arrow.
Bow and arrow is legal in wrestling, but as a punishment for a crime I believe it would be consider cruel and unusual punishment if administered by Zain.
Pantaleo always looked so much bigger than Zain when they wrestled, but my goodness did Zain do some horrible (awesome) things to him.
The one on the edge at nationals -- when Zain first spun Pantaleo away from the boundary and then cranked him ... so few guys capable of doing that with any pinning move.
I would never advocate either measure, but you MAY be onto something that could perhaps legally replace waterboarding of suspects. Certainly at my age, I'd be giving ANY information that you need the first few seconds that Retherford cinches up that bow and arrow on me!Bow and arrow is legal in wrestling, but as a punishment for a crime I believe it would be consider cruel and unusual punishment if administered by Zain.

I heard it went like this:
Judge: Do you choose Bow and arrow, or Death?”
Pantaleo: “Death.”
Judge: “Death by Bow and arrow!”

blasphemy -- not following HS wrestling.
the bow & arrow remains an illegal hold in youth and HS wrestling
There was a time when I did-mainly in Iowa only-but combined with college DI, it just took too much of my time.
Thanks for the info.
Also OT to wrestling though sports topical.
The photo came from a New Yorker piece at the 2016 NCAAs called 'The Faces of College Wrestlers'. They used lighting, camera angles, etc to give the photos an overly dramatic look to (in my opinion) stir controversy about the sport.
We had a kid on the team who was freaking brutal on top with legs. He would always tear his opponent apart before pinning him. I ask him once why was he pissing around with the kid. He answered by saying I am not pinning anybody until I hear them whimper first.
What is this... an ab battle? Great Champions ready to square off. Wrestling fans... get ready!!!

Absolutely nothing could go wrong...….as long as you remembered to properly close the tailgate...……..Nevermind
Reminds me of Muhammed Ali's famous "What's my name" fight. That was brutal.....or kinda amusing....depending on what side of the "fence" you were on.
Cool! I’d never heard of that fight before. Found this via google:

Speaking of Ali-who was and still is always one of my heroes-it was said yesterday on a news program, in direct relation to the apparent "outrage" over the "NFL kneelers," that it would be interesting to see how much Ali would still be loathed today for refusing to fight in one of our country's wars, due to religious objection.
Funny how times glosses over such things!

I guess I'm not sure that I get what Rossel (who IS an idiot, trust me) said, being that I can't read it from Saylor's post.
IMAR should be docked 4 points to start the match for wearing those shorts. That can't be unseen.

I don’t know what shorts you’re talking about, but LemonPie wants a glossy photo.
This motif is some of your best work. And, your work, is usually very, very good!
Context or no context, Iowa fans won't ever forgive WIllie for that comment, regardless of its veracity.
It will be the subject of their 8th anti-Flo Fatwa since 2015
