A hostage rescue situation?
I’ve heard there are some rooms in the tunnel that aren’t on the public blueprint.
Jim did his residency at the University of Iowa Medical School in the mid/late 1990s.
I wonder if Jim ever showed up at Iowa wrestling practice. I have a friend, Dr JR Woolridge, who taught at PSU Smeal College of Business for a long time who did his PhD work at Iowa. He told me that he talked some of the Iowa wrestlers who were in his classes into sparring with him. Probably got trounced pretty badly, but it was all just for fun.
Brad Penrith didn’t have any choice in the NCAA finals. He lost. A precursor to a common occurrence in more recent years.
PS - saw that one live. I think it was at Iowa State.
No. Jim said that he only went to a couple duals. IIRC the interview was on the PSWC site.
I am not sure if this is the right thread, but check out the bottom side quarters at 152, you will recognize some names (pdf of 2021 S32 brackets)
They actually wouldn't let him in the room, they thought he was a Penn State spy.

Odd take considering DT was 103 or 110 ish as a HS freshman and bumped up most years in HS and college. You prolly know more bout it then I do, but Ive never thought of DT as a big cutter.
Actually, David was a big cutter from at least his senior year in college all through his 74 kg international career until he went up to 86 kg. He even had to cut a lot of weight to make 86 kg by the end of his career. David had mentioned his weight cutting in several interviews prior to 2020. In a 2020 post regarding a Flo interview David gave I wrote: "David goes into some detail on his past struggles at 74 kg., his hard weight cut and how it affected his wrestling performance, his struggles to find enjoyment in his wrestling during that period and how he was just not ready physically or mentally to truly challenge wrestlers such as Burroughs and Dake." In one particular interview he mentioned how hard the cut to 165 was his senior year and how cutting weight became a big issue, especially regarding his ability to heal from chronic injuries. Here is one Flo article: https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6761785-bader-show-david-taylor-and-kyle-dake

I hope everyone can watch this video. It's on Facebook. I used to know the dad of the Stanford coach that the guy is talking about in this video. This happened somewhere around the 1995 timeframe.
Absolutely real. The video was made by John Ford who was actually wounded while filming the battle. Prior to the actual battle, Ford was encouraged by someone to go to Midway to film a war documentary. He wasn’t told why but a hunch told him to go ahead and do it. It wasn’t until he actually got there that he saw they were preparing for an upcoming invasion. Of course he had no way of telling anyone about it until after the battle was over.
Final score:
US 4
Japan 1
Jimmy won the spot on the 1972 US Olympic team at 52 kg. He was a senior in HS in the 1972-1973 PIAA season, so it's likely he was 17 at the time.
thanks I knew he was pretty young,could have been great but went the wrong way!I use to see him in Erie once in a while
Jimmy did wrestle for the Worlds team in 1971 when he was 16. He was 17 at the 1972 Olympics. Tull is correct that Jimmy was a junior at the 1973 PIAAs.

I want to say I remember reading he ended up at Kentucky with Fletcher and stayed there a little while after he finished school. Some of the brothers spread out and moved away, but a bunch still live in Erie if I’m not mistaken. I use to see Jimmy’s younger brother Jerry at local tournaments officiating, but Jerry’s since retired and lives in Florida last I heard.
There were 3 Spearmans. All brothers. Steve was an egomaniac from what I gathered. Talented, but very troubled. He has been in and out of jail for stuff like burglaries IIRC. Shawn was similar, but less accomplished. Tyree was a great all around athlete, but troubled too. Either Shawn or Tyree has been helping out with Ragin’ Raisins lately though
well we don't know how much wrestling Nagao has really done!But he isn't beating Blaze or Ono.I say start the best team and crush the NCAA scoring record!
Who holds the scoring record these days? Still Iowa and Gable? Or did some team/coach surpass them in excellence by a country mile?
I’d like to push it over 180 so no amount of rescoring of Gable’s teams - however fancified - matters
You got something against, say, 200?
I don't follow. High imagination skills would be indicative of higher than average intelligence. I don’t see it.
so what's your point?I said nothing about iowa??I want PSU to score oh maybe 200 or more!
I think his post went WHOOSH as it went right over your head.
