  1. I'm saying that on that given day the kid would have earned a win over Howe. That is all....no more no less. And I'm guessing that kid would remember that moment in time for the rest of his life and would tell his grandchildren about how he waited and when the time was right threw the most technically sound headlock of his life and defeated one of the best wrestlers the state of Indiana has ever seen.
  2. Your last sentance sums up why I dislike the term carter. Records don't mean anything when two people set foot on the mat. You just reinforced my initial statement.
  3. Look up www.illinoismatmen.com I would provide a direct link to the specific thread but I don't think I can from my crackberry. Or maybe I just lack the know-how.
  4. I guess I should have just wrote using the term "caught" FOR ME somehow seems to cheapen a victory. Kinda like a W with an * beside it. He wasn't a pinner he just caught a lot of guys. JMO.
  5. This topic makes me think of a phrase I despise hearing..."He got Caught". Caught is just a way for fans of a favored wrestler to rationalize why their boy got Stuck.
  6. Lpd096 Joey Gilbert was one of my favorite wrestlers to watch when he was in college. Plus he had my favorite comic book character tattooed on his arm.
  7. Hey TAE you ought to check out a thread at thematforums.com. Its in the high school section with a title like 1 takedown and 17 switches in the 1st period. At the end of the first 1 minute period the score was tied 18-18. Its a very entertaining thread that personifies your statement about humor.
  8. Excellent! I was hoping to see another "where are they know" article soon.
  9. Infinate Sadness is a troll trying to bait folks into a debate. It seems like he is chatting with the same group of folks he usually does when he starts similiar threads.
  10. Wow. Kinser got screwed. He beat Welch twice. 133 is crazy. Hump as a 5 seed. Angel and a Alex 3 seeds as well. Nick is a 7. Ian and Dre an 8. Andrew is Numero Uno. P-tax 5 with a horribe first round match for him.
  11. Sorry folks for the bad info. The pre-seeds are out NOW on a thread at thematforuns com .... It's authored by Willyman. I would cut and paste it for you guys but I can't right now. Maybe someone else can.
  12. Pre-seeds the middle of the week and final seedings on friday.
  13. Saturday morning after weigh-ins.
  14. Heya D-train. How far from Conseco are ya? I'm about 1 and 1/2 hours and I've always driven back and forth on Fri and Sat. After this years finals I asked my wife if she whould join me and make it a family outing. Do you have kids? If so how old? Did the wife attend the finals with ya? Disd you enjoy the Weber Grill?
  15. Sean you have definately "proved" yourself to me. I really enjoy watching you wrestle and I was clapping when you won. Oh and can you imagine how "lucky" you will be when you are under the lights again next year. Congrats.
  16. One-on-One with Terry Brands 2/26/2009 Andrew Hipps, Senior Writer andrew@revwrestling.com Terry Brands is one of the most successful U.S. freestyle wrestlers ever. Brands, who won two NCAA titles as a college competitor at Iowa, was a two-time World champion and Olympic bronze medalist. He won the World Cup twice and was also a Pan American Games champion. In 2006, Brands was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Terry BrandsBrands started his college coaching experience as an assistant at Iowa (1992-2000) before moving on to Nebraska (2000-01), and then Montana State-Northern (2001-2002). He landed a head coaching job at Tennessee Chattanooga, where he coached from 2002-2005. In 2005, Brands took over as the USA Wrestling's National Freestyle Resident Coach. He was instrumental in the development of several successful U.S. freestyle wrestlers, including 2006 World champion Bill Zadick and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo. Brands resigned as USA Wrestling's National Freestyle Resident Coach to come back to Iowa this season as an assistant coach and work under his brother, Tom Brands. RevWrestling.com recently caught up with Terry Brands and talked to him about a variety of different subjects, including his decision to leave USA Wrestling and come back to Iowa, whether he thinks Henry Cejudo will wrestle again, what it has been like reuniting with his brother, whether he has aspirations of becoming a head coach again, and much more. Terry, you came back to the University of Iowa this season after serving as the National Freestyle Resident Coach at USA Wrestling for three-and-a-half years. Why did you decide to make that move? Brands: I just felt like it was time to go. They saw things a little differently than I was anticipating. It was time to make the move. You served as a mentor and coach to Henry Cejudo. I know you are very close to him. Years of blood, sweat, and tears went into your training. Describe the emotions you felt when Henry won the Olympic gold medal in Beijing. Terry Brands coached Henry Cejudo to an Olympic gold medal at 55 kg in freestyle last summer in Beijing (Photo/Tech-Fall.com)Brands: I think it's gratifying anytime one of your student-athletes wins at the elite level. Mostly for them and very little, if any, of that joy is felt for me ? because it's giving those guys the opportunity. And then watching them fulfill, follow through with that opportunity, and capture all aspects of it. Very gratifying. Henry hasn't competed since the Olympics. There has been talk of him possibly getting into MMA. As someone who is close to him and has spent a significant amount of time with him, do you personally think we'll see him wrestling competitively again? Brands: I don't know. He's bounced around. He has said some different things. He talks about it sometimes. And then sometimes he talks about maybe not wanting to. Part of the dangers of having success at that level is that you may not want to compete again. It's hard to say what he's going to do. I obviously am hoping he does compete. But if he doesn't, I'm going to wish him the best. Henry took the non-traditional route for his wrestling career, going straight from high school wrestling to international wrestling. Recently Jake Deitchler made the same decision. Do you think we'll start seeing more and more talented high school wrestlers go that route? Or do you think those two are exceptions? Brands: Well, right now they are the exception. I think you could see that. The way I know Brent Metcalf, it's hard to say he would have ever done it that way. It's funny to listen to some people who have never wrestled or won an NCAA championship talk about how easy it is to win an NCAA championship ? or they call it the bush leagues or this or that ? the guys who have international success that maybe never won an NCAA title. The one thing about the NCAAs that is unique is that hands down, no questions about it, it is the toughest tournament in the world from a grind point of view. You make weight three straight days. You wrestle five matches over three straight days. And they're seven-minute matches. It's a unique five-year training opportunity to hone your mind and body to the things that are necessary to become championship-minded. You can win on the international level going through an NCAA program. There's just no question about that. These critics that say that our NCAA rules and the way that FILA has moved from that ? to say that we can't win, is just crazy. It's just crazy to me that we think that way. Would you like to see college wrestling changed from folkstyle to freestyle ? or it least have the rules tweaked to be more like freestyle? And how much do you think it would help the U.S. succeed internationally in freestyle? Terry Brands, who won two World titles as a competitor, spent three-and-a-half years as USA Wrestling's National Freestyle Resident Coach (Photo/Tech-Fall.com)Brands: The last part of your question, again, I'm not going to make an excuse for our country not being good. We have talent here that can win on the international level ? whether they change the rules or not. As far as the rules, yeah, it would be nice to maybe get some kind of a pushout rule. It would be nice to move a little bit towards some of the rules that make sense for international wrestling. To move completely to freestyle, that's like asking other cultures, like the Chinese, or the Mongolians, or the Siberians, to change to folkstyle wrestling. They're not going to change that style. That's their culture. That's what they feel like makes them competitive in the long run. It's kind of the same thing here. The NCAA tournament, and the rules that the collegiate and high school folkstyle compete under, is a very entertaining system and style to watch. So it's hard to say if we want to change completely over to freestyle, especially when FILA dictates and governs the rules. Now you're looking at a change every so many years. That's kind of what drives fans away ? that they just don't understand the scoring and the rules of the sport. You have worked on the same coaching staff as your brother, Tom, in the past, when you were both assistant coaches at Iowa. But now you're an assistant coach and he's the head coach. What has this experience been like for you working as an assistant coach under Tom? Brands: It's been real good. The best thing about it is that it's compatible philosophies. So the discipline, accountability, and standards that I want to uphold as a coach, and hold my student-athletes accountable to, we think the same. So it's a no-brainer. I don't have to butt heads with him about so and so dropping classes or drinking whisky or whatever they are doing that maybe isn't conducive to winning Olympic, World, and NCAA championships. That's very, very gratifying to me. Terry Brands has been instrumental in Ryan Morningstar's development this season (Photo/Iowa Sports Information)You have kind of taken Ryan Morningstar under your wing since coming to Iowa. He's 25-4 and having the best season of his college wrestling career. What does he need to do to accomplish his goals this season? Brands: He needs to stay focused on the things that he can control. We all know what those are. He needs to be able to get those things under control and be able to execute. When he does that, he's a very, very dangerous competitor. When he doesn't, he could still win the NCAA tournament. I'm not saying he couldn't do that. But it's going to be very difficult to be consistent. Again, it doesn't mean he can't win. It just means that it's not a consistent route. Steve Mocco is back training in Iowa City. What kind of impact has he had on your program this season? Brands: Unfortunately, not a lot. With the NCAA rules the way they are ? the way that you can use your club ? and the way that you can use your past alumni are two or three different things. So with Mocco graduating from Oklahoma State, we have to train him at separate times. He's just not around a lot. He doesn't travel with us and things that could help us tremendously. But his presence ? obviously the guys see him in the locker room. The guys see him working out when they come through in the morning when he's lifting. He's a very, very social person that they relate to immediately. From that end, it's been good. From the work and him being able to get in on the grind of it, it hasn't been any of that. It's great for him to be here. I think the environment is what he needs. I think he's very happy here with his family. It is working, even though it's tough to tweak his workouts around the college guys ? and sometimes it gets to the point, especially this time of the year, where you kind of have to tell him that he can't come in at a certain time because we're doing something with the college team. But he understood before he even came here ? that that was going to be the case ? and he has thrived here. I know the goal of Iowa wrestling has always been domination. When you were the National Resident Coach for USA Wrestling, I heard you say in an interview that a wrestler can win a one-point match but still dominate that match. Do you think the same could be said about winning a one-point match in collegiate wrestling? Or is it different? Brands: I don't think it's different at all. I think that could certainly be the case. You have a kid who is a freshman or sophomore who is wrestling a three-time returning NCAA champion ? and he's just all over him and the scores just aren't turning his way and he ends up winning 3-2 on a takedown, but was in on two or three shots and is trying to get better and finish those shots. That could be a dominating performance, even though it's too close because he slips on that wet spot, it could cost him the match the next time around. But because of his ability to dominate in those positions, the next time around it will widen the gap. Now that the regular season is over in college wrestling and you're preparing your team for the Big Tens and NCAAs, how does the training change? Brands: It doesn't. We continue to build on, speak about, and execute on the same things that we've been doing all year. The workouts become a little shorter and more intense. But for the most part, the training really doesn't change ? because the training is psychological anyway. You have had experience as a Division I head coach at Tennessee Chattanooga. Wyoming made a play to hire you as its head coach last summer. How important is to you to become a Division I head coach again? Brands: From the outside, it seems to be fairly important. The NWCA called. They were pretty fired up that Wyoming was trying to get me to come. I was really fired up about that. There was one little hiccup that they had ? and they wouldn't really change things around so that I could make a call that most head coaches would make. That's the only reason why I ended up not going. It was very, very hard to turn that down. Tom Burman was awesome. Great leader. Great AD. I think they did the right thing by moving on and getting Mark Branch in there. As far as becoming a head coach and whether that is something I have to be ? I would say no. Opportunities that come and present themselves, there are a select few options that would even get my attention at this point. But that wouldn't mean that I would ever rule it out. Looking at the U.S. national rankings in freestyle, you have three of the top four wrestlers at 66 kg in your room: No. 1 Doug Schwab, No. 3 Jared Frayer, and No. 4 Brent Metcalf. All three are competing for the same spot on the U.S. World Team. What's the dynamic between those three? And do they wrestle against each other in practice? Wyoming made a play to hire Terry Brands last summer as its head coach (Photo/Tech-Fall.com)Brands: We have Schwab and Frayer wrestle quite often. Obviously they work out a lot in those club workouts. And then Schwab gets in and wrestles with Metcalf fairly regularly, too, because he's a coach. Frayer and Metcalf, because of the rules, can't, which is crazy, but I'll save that for another time. Between the three, they have a good bond and a strong relationship. I think being together is obviously going to help them sharpen themselves to rise to the occasion. We're looking for one of those guys to come to the forefront and contend for world championships and Olympic gold medals.

  20. This article came from Purdue's wrestling site. Jake Patacsil: On "Top" Of The Wrestling World Purdue senior Jake Patacsil just might be the nation's best wrestler on top. Purdue senior Jake Patacsil is one of just 14 wrestlers in Purdue history to win at least 100 matches. Feb. 27, 2009 By Tanner Lipsett, Assistant Sports Information Director, Purdue University Imagine being covered in a seemingly endless blanket, and no matter how much you fight, struggle, turn or twist, you can't seem to get out from under it. Now, translate that sensation into a sport of pure strength, power, will and determination, and you'll have an idea of what it's like to be beneath Purdue senior wrestler Jake Patacsil on the mat. At 30-6 in his final season for the Boilermakers, Patacsil has not only proven himself one of the best wrestlers in Purdue history, but arguably one of the best wrestlers in NCAA history in the top position. He is 112-37 over the past four years, becoming one of just 14 grapplers to eclipse the 100-win plateau in Purdue history. He ranks among the Boilermakers' best ever in wins (112), winning percentage (75.2%), falls (23) and reversals (48), but these are far from his most impressive statistics. Heading into the last part of his final collegiate season, he's already piled up 757 back points, which is more than 300 points better than the second highest mark in school history (current head coach Scott Hinkel had the former record with 391 from 1984-to-1987). He holds the top three single-season marks in school history as well, tallying 226 in 2007-08, 190 in 2006-07 and already has a school record 247 so far this year. Back points are scored when a when the wrestler in control stretches his opponent to his back and holds their shoulders within a 45-degree angle with the mat for a minimum of two seconds. A two-second nearfall is worth two points, while if the wrestler can hold his opponent there for a full five seconds, it's worth three points. Patacsil has 131 two-point nearfalls for his career (262 points), and 165 three-point nearfalls (495 points). He averages just over five back points per match for his career, and is well ahead of that pace this season, tallying approximately 6.9 per bout in his 36 contests. Possibly even more impressive is Patacsil's stingy disposition to relinquish one-point escapes. In a wrestling match at any level, at the start of the second or third period a wrestler is given his or her choice to start on top, on bottom or in a neutral standing position. Most wrestlers choose to start in the bottom position, hoping to quickly scramble to their feet and earn one point for escaping their opponent. Patacsil changes the landscape of the match drastically as he breaks the trend by selecting the top position, while his opponents often choose the neutral start in fear of his smothering ability on top. In 149 career matches, Patacsil has surrendered just 14 escapes, including just two last season, and just four so far this year (two of which were kick-outs). Patacsil's strength in the top position comes mainly from the outlandish size of his hands and fingers and his ferocious grip. His massive paws are able to create a vice-like hold that seems inescapable to his opponents and set the tone for the majority of his takedowns and turns. Couple his incredibly large hands and strong grip with the years of tutelage and teachings from Hinkel and generations of Purdue alumni in his family and you have a dangerous combination for the NCAA's Division I 149-pound weight class. Patacsil is a third-generation Purdue wrestler, the fourth of five family members to wrestle for the Boilermakers and the third Patacsil to compete in an NCAA Tournament for the Old Gold and Black. His grandfather, Joe Patacsil, started the legacy in the late 1940s, earning a pair of Big Ten Championships and the Boilermakers' second individual NCAA Championship in school history. Joe's sons Ted and Frank (Jake's father) continued the tradition in the late 1970s and early 1980s as Ted was a three-year starter, while Frank qualified for the national championships twice and was named Purdue's most valuable wrestler three times. Jake and younger brother Sam, a 157-pound redshirt junior for the Boilermakers, continue the Patacsil family tradition to this day, wrestling off the playbook built by their family. Despite all that Patacsil has achieved so far at Purdue, there is still one major goal left: to earn NCAA All-America status and possibly win an NCAA Championship. He was unable to advance past the third consolation round in his sophomore appearance at nationals, and finished one win shy of the podium in 2008, falling to second-seeded Dustin Schlatter of Minnesota in the Round of 12. This year, he hopes to overcome all obstacles in his way and ascend the NCAA awards stand.
  21. INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA has announced the qualifier allocations for the 2009 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships as listed in the chart below. Each qualifying tournament was awarded spots per weight class based on current year data. Each wrestler was measured on the following: Division I winning percentage; rating percentage index (RPI); and coaches ranking. A threshold of a 0.725 winning percentage, top 28 in the RPI and top 28 in the coaches ranking was established to allocate 278 of the 330 championships field positions. For each wrestler that reached the threshold in at least two of the three categories, his qualifying tournament was awarded a qualifying spot in that weight class. Each qualifying tournament was awarded a minimum of one wrestler per weight class, which will go to the tournament champion, even if they did not have any wrestlers reach at least two of the three thresholds. NCAA tournament spots for each qualifying event will be awarded at the tournament based solely on place-finish. After all of the qualifying events have concluded, the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee will meet in-person to select the remaining 52 at-large qualifiers, which will be announced on March 11. All weight classes will consist of 33 wrestlers. The at-large selections will be made based on the following criteria: head-to-head competition; qualifying event placement; quality wins; results against common opponents; winning percentage; RPI; coaches ranking and the number of matches contested at that weight class.
