Actually, I don't think Sacchi did the right thing, PR wise. I would never advise a client to talk about a member of his own team in this manner. It makes both of you look bad. The whole idea of PR is to put forward your best face.

Not in the same year.

Even if he ate at McDonalds for every meal that wouldn't be possible.



Yes Big wrestled at 142 and Hwt. I think he hit a few weight classes in between.

I thought everyone knew this by now. This is the breakdown from first to last year for 5 years:

142 Rutgers lose my wrestle off 4:2 to our senior captain who took 6th at EIWA after making semis
158/167 Penn State
did not compete lifting and eating mostly at Penn State 1st semester after Penn State coach says I have to lose 40. Instead I gained 20 pounds and back at Rutgers practicing only 2nd semester
197 back at Rutgers but lost the wrestle off 3:2 to our captain who took 6h at EIWAs. Bad style matchup for me.
HWT (could not make 197) ankle sprain, fight with Sacchi after the match above and done with wrestling in college

At 197 at Wilkes Open I placed 4th and beat Clarion's Eric Mausser 7:5 who two weeks before majored Penn Sate's starter at a dual. I could have made Penn State's lineup at 197 if they gave me a chance.

At HWT I beat freshman Pat Cummins also at Wilkes in front of Sunderland. Also, at Navy I place 5th again but at HWT and 4 years later. There I beat Elliot Williams of JMU who was at HWt but dropped to 197 later in the year and made round of 16 at NCAAs. Good times.
