I think Cody Rhodes finally wins the WWE Championship that eluded his family for the past fifty years, but I'm not silly enough to bet on a WWE match.

One of the biggest upsets ever in college wrestling. Three time national champion Spencer Lee going for his fouth and final championship gets pinned with 1 second left in the match.

Just watched the replay. Ramos fought well and was not intimidated. Ramos tried a risky move at the end and it paid off with the pin. As Bruce Arians says, "No risk it, no biscuit."

My two younger brothers were very accomplished youth and high school wrestlers. Both conference, sectional and state champions more than once. Both, however, ended up with neck/spinal injuries needing surgery by their early 20's as a result.

Not much Hockey talk here. the Boston Bruins are on pace to tie the best record ever in NHL. They have outscored opponents by over 100 goals.

Us Bay Staters are taking notice big time. We are also taking notice of the Cetlics, who after the minor upheaval to start the season, have been cruising right along-a few twists and turns aside.

I did not grow up a big hockey fan but when Vegas got their team I started watching and recording lots of games. The Bruins are exciting and the Golden Knights are expected to disappoint again. Unfortunately for them they are on their fifth Goalie this year.

The Golden Knights put on quite a spectacle their first Stanley Cup home game.

Yes, Ramos did not seem intimidated at all. He could have beaten him the last time they wrestled. I am excited for the finals tonight. Sadly, only one Hawkeye in it and I think he is vulnerable even as a #1 seed.

I roomed with a wrestler in a college - a super built little guy about 5'3" - iirc 126 - always starving to make weight

he was all gung ho coming out of h.s. where he did really well

in college he got discouraged - couldn't dominate - had all kinds of minor injuries that were really painful - it's really brutal - almost like football with no pads

I had a couple of friends/acquaintances that wrestled at Iowa. One was from Ohio near me and won a national championship at Iowa. I actually took a wrestling class for a P.E. credit and it was taught by Dan Gable.

#1 Kansas goes down. Have we had two #1's lose before on opening weekend?

This is not Pete Carril's Princeton team we are watching.
