NCAA Wrestling Championships - Husker Wrestling

[ZJSARENOTFREE]

Didn’t think this thread would be right without a little @Husker Hank

"First year NCAA wrestling finals was ever on ESPN, maybe 10 years ago, I was going through Norfolk, and stopped at Sports Den I think it was called, to eat supper and watch the finals, and sat by the bar, and had the BT put a small TV in front of me on the wrestling finals.

Every other set in the place was on basketball, because the pumpkin pushers were all watching their march madness games, and as I was minding my own business, enjoying the wrestling, I overheard a couple guys behind me saying 'why the hell is that TV on wrestling', and one of them reached for the remote that the BT had left on the bar near me.

I put my hand on the remote, and looked at them, and said 'guys, I will wrestle you one at a time, for the remote, right here on the floor' as I pointed at their feet.

Now, it must have been the steely look in my eye, because they were all bigger, and younger than me, but they just turned , and walked away. I finished my meal, and my Budweiser, while watching the rest of the finals, then got back on the road."

You need to change your name to Dalton.

A story akin to dart leagues.

Very much so. He swore it actually happened, but the plot is extremely similar.

Believe they are starting with 184 and going down in weights. Huskers start with 157lbs

I was wrong, starting at 184 then going to 125 and up. Ending with 285.

Interesting to start with the most hyped match of the finals…
