Brown new coach Jordan Leen (Cornell) now has some of my cash as do the PSWC, NLWC and Levi Lamb ( whom I never met). Fandom is fun.
My son while at an airport in North Carolina last weekend ran into his former high school coach who is now the coach at Edinboro.
He told the coach that he and I will attend a Edinboro match and told him we'd make a donation to the team. After chatting, the coach said goodbye and left him but soon returned and gave him an Edinboro Wrestling T Shirt. Pretty cool.
Love this sport.
