Okay, I'll tell one during the break in action.Apologize for the tangent, but a true story about booting from my career 30 years ago.
Our base had just put in a new Unix network and after a few months of running fine one of the servers would hang when you started it. We were troubleshooting it and couldn't get it past that hang point, so we decided to call the help desk.
I told the other Sgt that we might as well go ahead an reboot it now because that is the first thing they are going to ask you to do. So, we reboot, it hangs up again and we call the help desk. They say, "reboot it". We say, "we just did". They say, "reboot it anyway".
Me having a bad day, got a bit testy and used my combat boot to lay a good kick on the front of the $20,000 server. Magically, after the kick the server goes past the point where it was hung and comes up fine. I say, "tell the guy booting it worked and hang up".
It turns out the server had an intrusion detection system we didn't know about and someone had not closed the front cover completely, so it would just stop. My kick closed the door completely. Most satisfying help desk call of my career..............
So suddenly there's no sports anywhere on the planet, yet somehow we're lucky enough to have Zain, DT, Gwiz, and Gilman going this morning. I'm grateful for an oasis of wrestling in this new weird world.
Then why are you called Ski and not Fonzie?... Magically, after the kick the server ... comes up fine ...
Finally... the return of David Taylor. Up against Ceballos (VEN)
50-0 scoring on the day for the US guys.
- A few half shots by DT. Handfighting.
- Ceballos warned for stalling
- Ceballows in on a leg, DT reaches over for an ankle. Stalemate.
- Ceballos on clock
- DT in on a shot near edge. Stepout or shot clock? Both, it's 2-0.
- DT back in on a single, eventually converts. 4-0.
- Two more shots, Ceballos jumps out of both.
- DT with a shot that results in a stepout just before end of first, 5-0.
- Break
- DT moving forward, gets another stepout.
- Double for two
- Another double for two. 10-0. DT solid, maybe not quite as electric as usual but he's been away for awhile and perhaps wanted to stay out there for a bit.

Last chance world Olympic qualifier is the first weekend in May I doubt trials happen before then.It could also be movedwhoever wins at olympic trials, which should still precede the world last chance qualifier
Last Chance has been postponed by UWW along with postponing the European qualifier. This is probably the last wrestling anywhere for a while. Asian Qualifier also postponedLast chance world Olympic qualifier is the first weekend in May I doubt trials happen before then.It could also be moved
Don't think you can appeal a guy getting pinned like Zain just was. BrutalMaybe Cornell's lawyers can be team players and file an appeal since Yianni is also not qualified.
That's why you're not a Cornell attorney.Don't think you can appeal a guy getting pinned like Zain just was. Brutal
Beat me to it, here is a linkLast Chance has been postponed by UWW along with postponing the European qualifier. This is probably the last wrestling anywhere for a while.
