I enjoy good conversation I don't just disagree and disregard peoples arguments because they happen to support the Gophers, Cyclones or Cowboys.

If he wrestled for your Gophers you'd be on the other side of this conversation. | I wasn't at the Big Ten Tournament as my little guys were wrestling at Mn/USA state tournament that weekend. I did watch the finals on the Big Ten network though and I thought Schlatter was hurt and bothered by his knee. I agree that it could of gone either way so that is why I give the edge to D schlatter if he is healthy next year. Could I be wrong? Sure but I have to back the kid wearing Maroon and Gold is all. Its all good either way but regardless of the outcome D Schlatter is a great champion and and the built-in excuse remark touched a nerve with me. It wasn't D Schlatter who used that excuse it was me, because he spent much of the season off the mat. I'll leave your forum now. So have a good life. This is the tooldude signing off!

another one time true freshman DI NCAA champ was Don Rohn from Clarion State at 134 in 1973(think that he's cousin of the famous 'cement mixer' Rohn) from an 8th seed, 3rd the next year at he same weight from a #1 seed, did not place next year from a #2 seed by losing the first round at 134 and wsa 6th at 142 his senior year from a #2 seed.

Don's son Tom wrestled for Lehigh and had some good matches but could not consistently break the starting lineup. |

He could break through the airport fences to drive onto the runway though!

That happened after I moved from PA so I stopped following Lehigh as closely. |

D schlatter never used the excuse that he wasn't healthy but you get on here and act like it was a built-in excuse. I know he wasn't healthy since I went to the pavillion and he wasn't wrestling that night acouple times this year. Or when the gophers were wrestling on the road I would open the newspaper and they had Mellmer listed as 149 for the gophers. So I had it pinned down to either Mellmer won a wrestle off (yeah right)or just maybe D schlatter was hurt. | Tooldude, or just "Tool" |

I have alot more more "buddies" on the guillotine than the traveling hobo that is for sure. Now go buy a bucket and clean windshields at an intersection for loose change or something | I gotta say... this ISNT a winning strategy for a long term life in this board. |
