people will remember:
-the time Nick Piccininni pinned Spencer Lee in Gallagher-Iba Arena
One of the Marines killed yesterday was Rylee McCollum from Wyoming. His sister said he planned to become a wrestling coach and teacher after he got out of the military. RIP π
I thought: "Wait a second. Could it be? And now, I know for sure. I just added two more guys to my wolf pack."...Four of us wolves, running around the desert together in Las Vegas
Dustin Plott dislocated his shoulder yesterday, popped it back into place, punched himself in the head, and kept wrestling. That's crazy tough.

I always feel weird talking about my own wrestling background, but Iβm going to share some solid advice for you kids wrestling at the state tournament this weekend. I lost in the state finals twice. Youβre really going to want to avoid losing in the state finals. It sucks.
ESPN Sources: Chiefs and Pro Bowl center Creed Humphrey reached agreement on a four-year, $72 million extension, including $50 million guaranteed. Humphrey now becomes the highest-paid center in NFL history.
Deal negotiated by Ken Sarnoff and Andy Simms of 1 of 1 Agency.
It's hard to overstate how impressive what Ferrari just did is. He just completely manhandled an Olympian that hadn't lost a wrestling match since 2019. The kid is a TRUE FRESHMAN.
There is a lot of discussion in Oklahoma High School wrestling regarding program move-ins. I found this take from an Edmond North dad, whose son has a pretty big rivalry with a Stillwater kid, interesting.
AJ Ferrari on John Smith and Chris Perry: "These are dudes that I would take bullets for in a heartbeat, and they would take bullets for me, and I know that... I mean it, and I know it 100%. That's just the brotherhood we have at

I just donβt think Iβm sending my kid to a camp with a wrestler thatβs pending a sexual assault investigation and uses a bunch of F-bombs to market the event. Thatβs just me.
If you could send some good vibes/prayers our way, Iβd appreciate it. Poor guy has RSV, and what we thought would be maybe one night in the hospital has turned into three. Doc says heβs dealing with the worst of it right now.
Weβre eating for the first time since last Saturday, and sitting up playing with Paw Patrol toys. Still a little ways to go but a really good day today so far.
For Oklahoma State fans, I can't emphasize enough how much you want to see this. Piccininni taking this talented freshman under his wing is a very good thing.
Kyle Dake beat Alex Dieringer 4-2 and 3-2 in their wrestle off.
Kyle Dake has beaten the rest of the World 12-2, 5-1, and 6-1.
Dieringer beat the wrestler Dake has in the finals 7-3.
Not hard to argue that Dieringer is the
#2
wrestler in the World at 79 KG.
What's worse than Penn State fans booing Jordan Burroughs? Getting on X/Twitter after it and trying to justify it. You're making yourselves look even worse. Just shut up.
On this date in 1992, John Smith won his second Olympic gold medal and sixth straight World/Olympic title. He followed that up by going home and trying to catch a 7-pound bass.
John Smith on D1 programs that have been cut during the pandemic: "I gotta be careful what I say. To me people that make negative decisions at this time right now are cowards"... "Find good answers, find reasons to keep everything"

Lee Roy Smith's children and grandchildren have accounted for 6 World titles, 7 World medals, 11 NCAA titles, 22 All American honors, and even an MLB All-Star.

Nana and Papa came up to give us a break this afternoon, and Shepherd walked across the room. It may not seem like a lot, but for most of this week he couldnβt even sit up on his own. Doctors just took him off oxygen to see how he handles it.π€
Besides Michael Jordan's "flu game", what was another epic performance from sports history by an athlete who was competing while either sick or injured?
I'll have to pull the clip when I get off work, but John Smith's comments on the administration at Stanford that almost dropped wrestling did not disappoint
John Smith was on the Robert Allen show this morning. He said the
#1
thing he's going to try and do for wrestling in his retirement is get the Olympics back to ten weights.

π€£π€£A crazy campus preacher, who I discovered from a google search is a self-proclaimed "Slut Shamer" was on the OSU campus today. In the middle of the crowd, AJ Ferrari ripped off his shirt, flexed, did some push-ups, and tried to hug her.
Remember when Gundy didnβt make any staff changes, people flipped shit on Marshall Scott, and OSU went on to score zero points against South Alabama in three quarters?
The ending of Mike Gundyβs press conference got extra frosty when he was asked about the potential of making any staff changes.

Students at OSU in the mid-80s: Watch Robin Ventura and Incaviglia at Allie P, duals at Gallagher Hall with John Smith and Kenny Monday, football with Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas at Lewis Field, and spend nights at the bars listening to Garth Brooks. What a time to be alive!
So hey, I love my job everyday... and today I got to witness this! The most decorated wrestler in history & College Baseballβs Player of the Century! OSU is a GOAT Factory!

In Chandler Rogers first international tournament on the senior level, he went 3-0 with a tech, decision, and pin to win the Pan American Championships. Quite the debut for the 2-time All American.

Have to really respect what AJ Ferrari just did there. True freshman, high-pressure match, and wrestling one of the best wrestlers in the country. He fought that entire match to get bonus points and almost did it! That kid is tough.
Paycom CEO Chad Richison wanted David Taylor to Oklahoma State and helped

seek him out. He's made some very large contributions to assist with it and I would expect other significant ones announced in the near future to help support Taylor and make sure this hire works.
