Regionrat1 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 wELL ITS almost a new year and da rat is gettin a little sentimental. I know not everyone can remember back deen ( I know DA ANCIENT ONE IS OLDER DAN DIRT) but how many wraslin programs where dare in da 1970's at da college level back deen. I think dat its such a sham it so hard to wrasle at da next level now a days. Scholarships are so scarce. iLOOK at some many of past region state champs and see da lack of oppertunity for deem. Then if you wrasle div 2-3 you can't wrasle at the div 1 nationals lile you could back in da day. lets think abouut it RIP bALL STATE iNDIANA STATE nOTRE DAME vALPORARSIO EVENASVILLE dA RAT HAS TO ADMIT THESE KIDS are better today deen when da rat was strappin a singlet on. But not as many are competing at da next level. So say a prayer for all da dead programs and hope day rise again for our young grapplers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCoach Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Almost all the colleges and universities in Indiana had wrestling in early-mid 70's. I've added just a few that can be added to the other list already. I believe Rose Hulman added theirs after the 70's--could be wrong.

Jim Wadkins / Calumet Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Wabash, Manchester & Rose Hulman still have wrestling.
