I bleed blue and white as much if not more than the next guy, and I thought Taylor's match had an amazing ending with Taylor not giving up and coming from behind. However, I have to admit that Gable's match topped Taylor's. Many (most?) guys would have given up, down 3 with seconds to go but to not quit, get the first takedown, have the presence of mind to stop wrestling, which forced the referee to blow the whistle (whether that was the right thing to do or not), and then get another takedown as time expired. That was amazing. There are lessons in there for athletes of all ages. I cannot imagine seeing a match with an ending that will top that one.

I thought Taylor's ending was more amazing.

Here's a good one. Go to 10:48.

Taylor had beat him 2x, kinda expected that ending.

How many people picked a 20 yr old kid to thrash the field like GS did. That ending was LEGENDARY and kept our team title hopes afloat.

No one is having a better year than GS, period.

I liked Molinaro’s last-minute heroics that one time.
