Ramos over Lee, Hendrickson over Gable And Duke over Yianni to name a few recent “upsets.” I will say it until my last breath. Everyone is beatable! Nobody is safe inside that circle. What a sport!!! What a sport!!! I mean what a sport!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting nugget. When you look at the best current rivalries in wrestling, David Carr is involved in 2 of the best ones going with 2 guys from the same high school with O’Toole and Messenbrink.

Trading in the Resilite for the diamond this week. Always fun to mix things up a bit and call some baseball at the Wisconsin State Tournament. Play ball! ⚾️

Pretty easy choice for me. Zain Retherford and Jason Nolf. They didn’t just win….they exhausted scoreboards and dominated. They were worth the price of admission and then some. They caused a lot of sleepless nights I’m sure. Absolute savages. Penn State WRESTLING Big Ten Wrestling

There are a few topics in wrestling that I feel especially strong about. States that have just one state champion is one of the biggest misses in the sport. It’s so short sighted….. California has 15 football state champs every year and one state wrestling champ.

Donny is one of Wisconsin Wrestling all-time greats. One of the toughest guys I have ever seen. Donny began the day by chugging a pint of gasoline. Built different. Now he is the head coach at Columbia Wrestling. Great competitor and awesome guy!

“Competition is not a threat, it’s an invitation to elevate your excellence.” This is one of the best quotes I have heard in a while. I love this. It’s from the Dolphin’s Alec Ingold. Alec was a WI state wrestling champion also. Love that quote!! ❤️❤️
