Alright Y'all! We're going "Belly to Belly" with Damion Hahn for episode 50! Damion is the Head Wrestling Coach at South Dakota State where he just finished his second season at the helm of the Jackrabbit program.  Before heading to SDSU, Damion spent the 12 years previously as an assistant and later associate head coach at Cornell University.  During his tenure, the Big Red recorded 11 top-10 team finishes at the NCAA Championships, including consecutive runner-up finishes in 2010 and 2011. He mentored 50 All-Americans, 12 of whom were individual NCAA champions. Cornell also won 12 straight Ivy League dual championships and 11 consecutive Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association team titles. As a collegiate wrestler at Minnesota, Hahn won NCAA individual national titles as a junior and senior. A four-time All-American, he also was a three-time Big 10 individual champion and was named the Jesse Owens Big 10 Male Athlete of the Year in 2004. The Golden Gophers won team NCAA championships during both his freshman and sophomore seasons. We recorded this episode just minutes after the NCAA announced that the wrestling championships would be held without fans due the ongoing covid-19 outbreak.  Shortly after we recorded the NCAA would cancel the remainder of the winter championships and all of the spring season. Damion is considered by many to be the GOAT of high school wrester in New Jersey.

1999 – First Year Was working at a KFC in the Grafton section of Yorktown, Va. Got a call from Mike Newbern. “Twink, Gary Alcon (ref) can't make it, do you want to go to Fargo?” That right there changed it all. Everything. Stayed in Reed Johnson Hall. Virginian Christian Smith made the Cadet Freestyle finals at 83.5 pounds. He ended up being a 3x state champion and NCAA qualifier for Duke and Liberty (He took down Nickerson in 2007 to open up the tournament). There was no Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a Bison Turf, there was a mug and I may or may not have been from Alabama. Or named Kevin. Shared a dial-up line with Sara Koenig from NCMat.com (you know her now as one of the tournament directors for the Super 32. Rob Sherrill vouched for me for a media credential. Thankfully, I'd met him in Virginia at the Virginia Duals when I was in high school. Don't remember much about the competition since I was still pretty new to the national scene. We had the Dream Team Classic in VA that year, so I paid attention to guys like Foley Dowd, Jason Powell, Clark Forward — and two of those Team USA guys met in the finals, Damion Hahn beat Jason Potter. 2000 – Year 2 Buffalo Wild Wings Opened. Taco Bell re-opened, it was closed the year before for renovations. Harry Lester vs. Mark Jayne, Junior Greco. Jayne was returning JR. Champ, Lester won cadets the year before. 3-5-3 (BOOM). 132 pounds. Virginia had two cadet champs – Christian Staylor and Albert Childress (almost bookends) Kid named Tyler Safratowich of Minnesota won at 83.5 pounds, did a backflip, then he started eating. Mary Kelly going 2-2 in Cadet Freestyle and Micah Amrozowicz, now the head coach at the Newport News Apprentice School, having to come from behind to beat her 8-7. 2001 – Year 3 Started doing freelance work for TheMat.com and wrote features on the Dibbern triplets, Mary Kelly wrestling against the boys in the Juniors. Cerebral Palsy kid J.C. McMaster – his e-mail address was pimp_limpin@ something another dot com. Jeff Courtney, a deaf All-American from West Virginia ? and TRAVIS EFFING LEE. Lee “leis' greco gold. Beat Nick Simmons. Stopping Simmons from becoming just the second guy to win 4 JR FS titles. As of right now, it’s only Alan Fried. 2002 – Year 4 – Drove from ODU. FIRST YEAR OF FEDERATION WEIGHTS. WENT FROM 96 AAS TO 120 IN JUNIORS 104-136 Started bringing my radio equipment and doing the webcast for USAW with Rob and the late Jon Ponwani. Cleveland – NO Chicago – Driving down Addison, game over Milwaukee – Karaoke at a Friday's in Brookfield, WIS Minneapolis – Twins vs. Angels, Milton vs. Washburn, preview of ALCS First year of Junior Women — Malinda Ripley beat Mary Kelly in the finals. Who the hell is Malinda Ripley? Natasha Umemoto was 3rd. She got the first pin of the tournament ever. Poeta beat Metcalf in Cadet FS. Only finals loss in Metcalf's Fargo career. Stepovers, if I recall correctly for exposure. Decent year from VA, Anthony Burke from my club was 5th in a bracket with Coleman Scott, Mike Rowe, Garrett Scott, Mike Rodrigues, Jake Kreigbaum and Eric Albright. I think I had a team PA jacket on when I gave Burke a high five after beating Albright for 5th. Patrick Bond won Cadet FS. Todd Meneely was the OW, beating Teyon Ware. Some guy with an Afro won Junior FS at 171. Herbert was 3rd. Afro guy recently lost a fight. VANS WARPED TOUR WAS OUTSIDE. 2003 – Year 5 – Drove from ODU on short notice Got up, went to Jiffy Lube and boom. Drove to Milwaukee – was using an old atlas, so I didn't know about the cut through via Rockford and kept adding 90 more minutes to my ride. Went to the same Fridays to sing karaoke again. Sat on top of my truck after a session and listened to a Willie Nelson concert at Newman Outdoor Stadium. Years later, Doc Jim Porter would crap all over my Nelson story and say he went and ended up hanging out with him. All-Southern Cadet final as Nick Marable of Tennessee beat Ben Fiacco of Georgia at 145 Cormier vs. Morrison wrestle-off. I slept through the first one. Not a great moment, but indicative of my 20s. 2004 – Year 6 Rode the bus with team Virginia, wrote a blog as we went all week for the old Mat Talk. Won the Connect 4 championship on the bus, beat Josh Wine 51 consecutive times in Connect 4. Finished up my last college class two weeks after getting home. Finishing up 7 years in college. Henry Cejudo beat Spenser Mango in the Greco finals, was up 9-0 or something and thought he'd gotten the tech, then Mango bombed him for 3 (should have been 5) before Cejudo finished it 13-3. 2005- Year 7 – Hired at InterMat. Pretty sure I flew. Stayed at either the Econo Lodge or the Best Western near Bucks. I still hear the bullhorn go off whenever I hear Mony Mony. Florida had a monster year, although I got into an “argument” with Rob Sherrill about who Franklin Gomez counted for — Florida or Puerto Rico. I say PR, because that's who he was representing. Robby Smith beat Cody Gardner in Freestyle, which stunned us from VA. Justin Wren won in Greco, but when Luke Ashmore won, they all climbed over the railing to celebrate, then trying to go back, Wren got into an argument with a security guard and got thrown out. Couple of Wyoming kids met in the Greco finals, but one had moved to Ohio. Tyler Cox pinned David Taylor in Cadet Greco. Taylor beat BJ Futrell to win cadet FS at 91 ? pounds. 2006 – Year 8 First year of the garbage rules. Hit a rainstorm coming through O'Hare and spent the night there. Connor McDonald took my spot on the last plane to Fargo from O'Hare. Then he wins the tournament. The little shit. ODU had two signees in the Fargo finals — James Nicholson at 119 and Adam Koballa at 130. Eric Grajales bombed Donte Butler and during my interview, Butler cut through it talking some trash. Grajales goes “I just fived you!” in response. Butler has the unique distinction of being the ONLY five-time finalist to never win a title. Eli and Michaela Hutchison become first brother-sister combo to win Junior titles in the same year. 2007 – Year 9 Oregon's Norman Richmond with the breakout performance splitting finals with Jason Chamberlain Helen Maroulis wins a chicken, Nicole Woody goes nuts and ruins my interview. Hayden Zillmer and Jade Rauser at the same weight — 84 pounds — Zillmer doubled at 84 pounds. Alton brothers, Josh Kindig from PA. Nasty. 2008 – Year 10 – Last year at InterMat Drove straight through from PA to Minnesota. Stopped in St. Cloud for about 2 hours, missed the first session. 2009 – Year 11 – Wrestling 411/USAW “That just happened” – This was the finals where Mark Grey was about to start giving an interview, then he was brought back to the mat to re-wrestle the last few seconds of a second period, only to have Ben Whitford score, force a third and then win the title with a third-period win. Man, those rules sucked. 2010 – Year 12 – USA Wrestling F-Rod's Triple Crown Ringer over Ness Grant LaMont makes Greco finals at Juniors as a first-year Cadet. He doesn’t wrestle on Sundays and Cadet Greco kicked off on a Sunday. Well, let’s move up. 2011 – Year 13 – USA Wrestling Parker VonEgidy makes finals with TWO losses. Ended up with 3. Situation – Abounader, VonEgidy, O'Donnell- won by Ricky Robertson. I think I’ve rehashed this on every single show I’ve had Dom Abounader on. Pat Downey with limited FS experience wins over Jordan Rogers at 171. This looks a lot better now than it did then. 2012 – Year 14 – USA Wrestling Zain vs. Zane at 132. Retherford would win cadet WC that year. Cox/Snyder – J'Den wins Freestyle, Kyle wins Greco. Brett Haas wrestles them both. Willie crashed on my couch and squatted all week during his TOM era. 2013 – Year 15 – AWN/TOM Did the interviews on short notice. Elijah Oliver's gross cauliflower ear Stephanie Hampton making fun of my clothing choices. Jake Marnin was a JV kid and won the cadet triple crown 2014 – Year 16 – Mat Talk Coltan Williams from Texas, OMG that throw in Cadet FS vs. Wilson Smith of NC Johnny Blankenship and Trey Meyer going through my table, and through me — no STWP tonight folks. 2015 – Year 17 – Mat Talk How good those cadet champs were. Gable Steveson, Schwartz, RBY, Raimo, Warner. Wittlake's shoes. Interviewed the Mayor of Fargo for Short Time. He lied about there not being any construction around town. 2016 – Year 18 – Mat Talk Turf burned down. Nothing else matters. 2017- Year 19 – Mat Talk Alabama’s Sam Latona won the state’s first Junior freestyle championship. The soon-to-be Virginia Tech signee claimed gold at 106 pounds. Two months before they would win Cadet World Championships, Will Lewan and Aaron Brooks won Fargo titles. No Turf, so Herd & Horns was the replacement venue for mugs. There weren’t nearly as many shenanigans there, simply because it was cleaner, neater and had better food. 2018 – Year 20 – Mat Talk The Turf re-opened. There was again cornhole to be played. Willie, Spey and myself championed the first ever Wrestling Trivia night. Spey dropped some quality knowledge, all the while Willie answered ONE question, then paraded around the restaurant like he was the freaking MVP. Entries here were 4,999, just one below the elusive 5,000. Carson Manville represented Pennsylvania, however that works, and won double Cadet titles. Jakason Burks was mighty impressive, winning Nebraska’s first Cadet freestyle title since Thomas Gilman represented the state in 2010. Super beastly crop of champions on the Junior freestyle side of things too with pretty much everyone being a hammer. Introduced Earl Smith to Fargo. Ashley Sword showed me that I could get free nachos with the Buffalo Wild Wings app. I was also interviewed by Wayne Fish. Zach Elam generally thought I was mad at him. Discovered Labby’s has Castle Cream Ale on draft – the last night we were there. 2019- Year 21 – Mat Talk The mug turns 21. The bartenders at The Turf are tired of hearing that story. Things I can't remember the year, but are of note. — The year the first session wa

We then circle back as to how Hahn broke away from his own conventional thinking with what he wanted from a coaching job and how Justin Sell, the AD at South Dakota State changed all that.While Hahn is coaching at a school looking to poach Minnesota talent from the state, it's a good trip down memory lane for Gopher fans.SUBSCRIBE TO THE GUILLOTINE GRAPEVINEApple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/guillotine-grapevine-podcast/id1032548516?at=11ly5XStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/mat-talk-podcast-network/the-guillotine-grapevine-mat-talk-podcast-network?refid=stprSpreaker: http://www.spreaker.com/show/the-guillotine-grapevineSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4VKmfx02sKGNFKyPa1koFb?si=u-Ks2gvKQbmbPWjroWON2QGoogle Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifu46r7ti5hq4f6c54j43jtwb24?t=The_Guillotine_Grapevine_The_Podcast_for_the_Land_of_10000_Wrestlers__Mat_Talk_Podcast_NetworkRSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/1498950/episodes/feed

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! (I made this part up on the fly) This is Short Time Shots, a comically unfunny wrestling podcast aimed at giving you, the wrestling fan, everything you need to know about the day’s happenings in college wrestling. I’m your host Jason Bryant, and here’s something about me, November 11 marks the 10-year anniversary of my first ever podcast. That was called Wrestling 411 with my co-host Kyle Klingman. I’ll actually break that historic show down later this month as Kyle and I talk about that doomed but life-changing project and its impact on wrestling, whether you remember it or not. Speaking of things people wouldn’t rather remember - and I’m talking about our friends in Kent, Ohio. No. 1 Penn State won its 46th dual in a row as the Nittany Lions blasted Kent State 52-3 at sold-out Rec Hall. After dropping the first match at 125 pounds, Penn State reeled off nine straight bonus victories, including six falls in a row, to trounce the Golden Flashes, who wrestled without returning All-American Kyle Conel at 197 pounds. The debut of Roman Bravo-Young was sound as the true freshman from Arizona registered his first collegiate fall over Tim Rooney at 133. Just two days earlier, Rooney lost a tough one to Iowa’s Austin DeSanto in a dual at Kent State. What impressed me the most about Bravo-Young was his top work. He good. We use that F-word a lot around Penn State - Fun. Love them or hate them, Penn State is freaking fun to watch - probably not that fun to wrestle, though. No. 5 Michigan opened up its dual season with a 32-12 win over rival Central Michigan up in Mount Pleasant, a result leaving Bloodround’s Kevin Claunch torn to his core. Big Wolverine bonus wins were registered by Stevan Micic at 133, Kanen Storr at 141, Malik Amine at 149, Logan Massa at 165 and Myles Amine at 174. We did NOT see Mason Parris at heavyweight, as an FYI. No football-like comebacks for ODU on the wrestling mats on Sunday. A day after its football team rallied from a 28-0 deficit to beat North Texas, ODU’s wrestling team fell behind 18-0 … and it got worse as No. 7 Missouri continued its dominance over the Monarchs as the Tigers rolled into the Ted Constant Convocation Center and topped ODU 40-3 in an early-season MAC contest. The match which saw the most eyes came at 141 pounds where a pair of All-Americans tangled. It was Missouri’s Jaydin Eierman who came away with the W, pinning Eastern Michigan transfer Sa’Derian Perry in 5:05. Missouri also picked up bonus wins at 125, 133, 165, 174 and 197 pounds to roll. At the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, a big crowd saw No. 11 Arizona State top No. 19 South Dakota State 30-9 in the dual meet coaching debut for Damion Hahn of SDSU. Nothing really unexpected here. The dual’s two returning NCAA champions, Seth Gross of South Dakota State and Zahid Valencia of Arizona State both scored falls for their respective teams. The bout that was probably of the most interest in terms of a potential toss up went Arizona State’s way at 149 pounds where Josh Maruca topped Henry Pohlmeyer 5-3. ASU All-Americans Ryan Millhof and Josh Shields won big as well. No. 24 North Carolina opened up its season with a 23-10 over Chattanooga. The Mocs jumped out to an early 10-0 lead after the first three weights, highlighted by Chris Debien’s 10-5 win over A.C. Headlee at 141. After that, it was all Tar Heels as Coleman Scott’s squad swept the last seven bouts. Buffalo went 3-0 in sweeping a quad hosted by Bucknell on Sunday. The Bulls topped VMI 34-5, Cleveland State 34-6 and host Bucknell 25-12. It wasn’t smooth sailing the entire time for coach John Stutzman’s team as Bucknell did steal a few bouts. At 125 pounds, Geo Barzona knocked off Buffalo’s Kyle Akins 5-4, while Bucknell 157-pounder Zach Hartman upended Alex Smythe, who was trending upwards in the eyes of many after his rapid improvement. VMI’s Neal Richards went 3-0 in his three bouts at 174 pounds. In the Big 12, Fresno State cruised by Northern Colorado 34-4 before they headed south down I-25 and were greeted by an Air Force team that wasn’t going to let them do the Colorado D1 double. Air Force beat Fresno State 19-15 with the swing victory coming in overtime at 174 where Air Force’s Randy Meneweather beat the Bulldogs’ Ricky Padilla 3-1 in sudden victory. Iowa State opened up its dual slate with a 37-3 win over SIU Edwardsville. Impressive performances turned in by Austin Gomez at 133 as he earned a first-period technical fall. Ian Parker and Marcus Coleman added falls for the Cyclones at 141 and 174 pounds. In Division II, No. 6 Pitt-Johnstown topped No. 5 Wheeling Jesuit 19-15 in Wheeling. Fifth-ranked Levi Niebauer picked up a major decision at 197 pounds the put the bout out of reach and gave coach Pat Pecora his 583rd dual meet victory. Yes, he’s in his 43rd year at the helm. Central Oklahoma gave up the first and last wins of the dual and thumped NAIA Oklahoma City 34-6. Oklahoma City head coach Sam Hazewinkel, the dual threat World and Olympic teamer spent the last two seasons prior as an assistant coach at Central Oklahoma. In Division III, Muhlenberg won the Electric City Duals at Scranton going 4-0. The MULES beat host Scranton, Keystone, Lackawanna and the club team from Temple. No idea whether or not there were any Man in the High Castle references at the event. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Watch Season 3 on Amazon Prime. Going back to New York as the round-robin style Journeymen Collegiate Classic took place a day after the Northeast Duals. Some of the top results saw Lehigh’s Nick Farro knock off Oklahoma’s Christian Moody 3-2 at 125 pounds. Lehigh’s Brandon Paetzell beat Wyoming All-American Montorie Bridges in pool competition, then fell to Purdue’s Ben Thornton 5-1 in the final at that particular weight class pairing. Oklahoma’s Dom Demas had a solid outing at 141 pounds, beating Lock Haven’s Kyle Shoop, Wyoming’s Sam Turner and Purdue’s Nate Limmex. Not too shabby, especially as he got the fall over Limmex at 1:38. NC State’s Justin Oliver topped Davion Jeffries of Oklahoma 7-2 in the A-Bracket final at 149 pounds. Army West Point’s Luke Weiland emerged at 157’s A bracket. Weiland topped Oklahoma’s Justin Thomas 9-0 in the final. Thomas defeated Appalachian State’s Matt Zovitoski and Utah Valley’s Grant LaMont in his side of the pool. Lock Haven All-American Chance Marsteller beat Wyoming’s Branson Ashworth 7-4 in the A-bracket final at 165 pounds. Lehigh’s Jordan Kutler beat Purdue’s Dylan Lydy 3-1 at 174. NC State’s Nick Reenan’s return to folkstyle wrestling was successful one. He topped Lehigh’s Ryan Preisch 5-1 in the top bracket final at 184 pounds. Army West Point’s Rocco Caywood had a win over Lehigh’s Chris Weiler in the pool competition before knocking off NC State’s Malik McDonald 4-2 to claim the title at 197 pounds. Lehigh’s Jake Jakobsen won the B bracket at the weight and 197 is shaping up to be real interesting at Lehigh already this year. Lehigh heavyweight Jordan Wood topped Utah Valley’s Tate Orndorff 6-0 in the final at 285 pounds. Orndorff had a solid 6-5 win over Lock Haven’s Thomas Haines in pool competition. At the Jonathan Kaloust Bearcat Open up in Binghamton where the Bearcats program is celebrating its 50th wrestling anniversary, Cornell was strong to quite strong. At 133, Chaz Tucker beat Vitali Arujau 7-5 in an all-Big Red Final. At 157, Josh Humphreys of Lehigh came away with three falls, a tech and a major on his way to the title. Two of those wins were over NCAA qualifiers Hunter Ladnier of Harvard and Mike D’Angelo, wrestling unattached for Princeton. Brown’s Jonathan Viruet majored George Mason’s Colston DiBlasi 11-0 in the finals at 165 pounds. NC State’s Trent Hidlay knocked off All-American Brandon Womack of Cornell in the second round, then beat Penn State’s Mason Manville in the semifinals en route to the title at 174 pounds. Pretty good starting weekend for the true freshman. Other notable winners were Brown’s Christian LaFragola at 197 and George Mason’s Matt Voss at 285. At the Ohio Intercollegiate Open, the Ohio State Buckeyes pretty much dominated the field. Well, there isn’t too much pretty much, it was dominating. There were a lot of OSU wrestle-offs in the finals. Rather than go through all of them, here’s the notables. Micah Jordan topped teammate Sammy Sasso 9-7 in the final at 149 pounds. Ke-Shawn Hayes won at 157, topping Elijah Cleary 6-5. Cleary upended Michigan’s Will Lewan 3-1 in sudden victory in the semifinals. People notice since Lewan topped teammate Alec Pantaelo last week at the Michigan State Open. Ethan Smith topped teammate TeShan Campbell 8-5 in the finals at 174. More Ohio State stuff happened with titles at 184 with Gavin Hoffman winning, Chase Singletary won at 285. Singletary defeated Mason Parris of Michigan in the semis and beat D2 All-American Kam Teacher of Notre Dame College.

Episode 345 is a solo show where I’m talking about some of the best memories, not all the best, but just some good and maybe some bad memories of my 19 years covering the Cadet & Junior Nationals. Below is the “show notes” which were basically the rough outline for the show Richard Immel and I were going to do from Fargo. Pardon the grammar and lack of actual respectable prose here, it was initially an outline. 1999 - First Year Was working at a KFC in the Grafton section of Yorktown, Va. Got a call from Mike Newbern. “Twink, Gary Alcon (ref) can’t make it, do you want to go to Fargo?” That right there changed it all. Everything. Stayed in Reed Johnson Hall. Virginian Christian Smith made the Cadet Freestyle finals at 83.5 pounds. He ended up being a 3x state champion and NCAA qualifier for Duke and Liberty (He took down Nickerson in 2007 to open up the tournament). There was no Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a Bison Turf, there was a mug and I may or may not have been from Alabama. Or named Kevin. Shared a dial-up line with Sara Koenig from NCMat.com (you know her now as one of the tournament directors for the Super 32. Rob Sherrill vouched for me for a media credential. Thankfully, I’d met him in Virginia at the Virginia Duals when I was in high school. Don’t remember much about the competition since I was still pretty new to the national scene. We had the Dream Team Classic in VA that year, so I paid attention to guys like Foley Dowd, Jason Powell, Clark Forward -- and two of those Team USA guys met in the finals, Damion Hahn beat Jason Potter. 2000 - Year 2 Buffalo Wild Wings Opened. Taco Bell re-opened, it was closed the year before for renovations. Harry Lester vs. Mark Jayne, Junior Greco. Jayne was returning JR. Champ, Lester won cadets the year before. 3-5-3 (BOOM). 132 pounds. Virginia had two cadet champs - Christian Staylor and Albert Childress (almost bookends) Kid named Tyler Safratowich of Minnesota won at 83.5 pounds, did a backflip, then he started eating. Mary Kelly going 2-2 in Cadet Freestyle and Micah Amrozowicz having to come from behind to beat her 8-7. 2001 - Year 3 Started doing freelance work for TheMat.com and wrote features on the Dibbern triplets, Mary Kelly wrestling against the boys in the Juniors. Cerebral Palsy kid J.C. McMaster - his e-mail address was pimp_limpin@ something another dot com. Jeff Courtney, a deaf All-American from West Virginia … and TRAVIS EFFING LEE. Lee “leis’ greco gold. Beat Nick Simmons. Stopping Simmons from becoming just the 2nd guy to win 4 JR FS titles. 2002 - Year 4 - Drove from ODU. FIRST YEAR OF FEDERATION WEIGHTS. WENT FROM 96 AAS TO 120 IN JUNIORS 104-136 Started bringing my radio equipment and doing the webcast for USAW with Rob and hte late Jon Ponwani. Cleveland - NO Chicago - Driving down Addison, game over Milwaukee - Karaoke at a Friday’s in Brookfield, WIS Minneapolis - Twins vs. Angels, MIlton vs. Washburn, preview of ALCS First year of Junior Women -- Malinda Ripley beat Mary Kelly in the finals. Who the hell is Malinda Ripley? Natasha Umemoto was 3rd. She got the first pin of the tournament ever. Poeta beat Metcalf in Cadet FS. Only finals loss in Metcalf’s Fargo career. Stepovers, if I recall correctly for exposure. Decent year from VA, Anthony Burke from my club was 5th in a bracket with coleman scott, mike rowe, garrett scott, joey slaton, Mike rodrigues, Jake Kreigbaum and Eric Albright. I thikn I had a team PA jacket on when I gave Burke a high five after beating Albright for 5th. Patrick bond won Cadet FS. Todd Meneely was the OW, beating Teyon Ware. Some guy with an Afro won Junior FS at 171. Herbert was 3rd VANS WARPED TOUR WAS OUTSIDE. 2003 - Year 5 - Drove from ODU on short notice Got up, went to Jiffy Lube and boom. Drove to Milwaukee - was using an old atlas, so I didn’t know about the cut through via Rockford and kept adding 90 more minutes to my ride. Went to the same Fridays to sing Karaoke again. Sat on top of my truck after a session and listend to a Willie Nelson concert at Newman Outdoor Stadium. All-Southern Cadet final as Nick Marable beat Ben Fiacco at 145 Cormier vs. Morrison wrestle-off. 2004 - Year 6 Rode the bus with team Virginia, wrote a blog as we went all week for the old Mat Talk. Won the Connect 4 championship on the bus, beat Josh Wine 51 consecutive times in Connect 4. Finished up my last college class two weeks after getting home. Finishing up 7 years in college. Henry Cejudo beat Spenser Manog in the Greco finals, was up 9-0 or something and thought he’d gotten the tech, then Mango bombed him for 3 (should ahve been 5) before Cejudo finished it 13-3. 2005- Year 7 - Hired at InterMat. Pretty sure I flew. Stayed at either the Econo Lodge or the Best Western near Bucks. Florida had a monster year, although I got into an “argument” with Rob Sherrill about who Franklin Gomez counted for -- Florida or Puerto Rico. I say PR, because that’s who he was representing. Robby Smith beat Cody Gardner in Freeestyle, which stunned us from VA. Justin Wren won in Greco, but when Luke Ashmore won, they all climbed over the railing to celebrate, then trying to go back, Wren got into an argument with a securitry guard and got thrown out. Couple of Wyoming kids met in the Greco finals, but one had moved to Ohio. Tyler Cox pinned David Taylor in Cadet Greco. Taylor beat BJ Futrell to win cadet FS at 91 … pounds. 2006 - Year 8 First year of the garbage rules. Hit a rainstorm coming through O’Hare and spent the night there. Connor McDonald took my spot on the last plane to Fargo from O’Hare. Then he wins the tournament. The little shit. ODU had two signees in the Fargo finals -- James Nicholson at 119 and Adam Koballa at 130. Eric Grajales bombed Donte Butler and during my inteview, Butler cut through it talking some trash. Grajales goes “I just fived you!” in response. Eli and Michaela Hutchison become first brother-sister combo to win Junior titles in the same year. 2007 - Year 9 Oregon’s Norman Richmond with the breakout perforamnce splitting finals with jason chamberlain Helen Maroulis wins a chicken, Nicole woody goes nuts. Hayden Zillmer and Jade Rauser at the same weight -- 84 pounds -- ZIllmer doubled at 84 pounds. Alton brothers, Josh Kindig from PA. Nasty. 2008 - Year 10 - Last year at InterMat Drove straight through from PA to Minnesota. Stopped in St. Cloud for about 2 hours, missed the first session. 2009 - Year 11 - Wrestling 411/USAW “That just … happened” 2010 - Year 12 - USA Wrestling F-Rod’s Triple Crown Ringer over Ness Grant LaMont makes Greco finals at Juniors as a first-year Cadet 2011 - Year 13 - USA Wrestling Parker VonEgidy makes finals with TWO losses. Ended up with 3. Situation - Abonader, VonEgidy, O’Donnell- won by Ricky Robertson Pat Downey with limited FS experience wins over Jordan Rogers at 171 2012 - Year 14 - USA Wrestling Zain vs. Zane at 132. Retherford would win cadet WC that year. Cox/Snyder - J’Den wins Freestyle, Kyle wins Greco. Brett haas wrestles them both. Willie crashed on my couch and squatted all week. Start 2013 - Year 15 - AWN/TOM Did the interviews on short notice. Elijah Oliver’s gross cauliflower ear Stephanie Hampton making fun of my clothing choices. Jake Marnin was a JV kid and won the cadet triple crown 2014 - Year 16 - Mat Talk Coltan Williams from Texas, OMG that throw in Cadet FS vs. WIlson Smith of NC Johnny Blankenship and Trey Meyer going through my table, and through me -- no STWP tonight folks. 2015 - Year 17 - Mat Talk How good those cadet champs were. Steveson, Schwartz, RBY, Raimo, Warner. Wittlake’s shoes. Interviewed the Mayor of Fargo for Short Time. 2016 - Year 18 - Mat Talk Turf burned down. Nothing else matters. 2017- Year 19 - Mat Talk To be determined. Things I can’t remember the year, but are of note. -- The year the first session was canceled because they couldn’t get the first electronic bracketing set. -- When Fargo went from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. for last call. -- Beating Kendall Cross in Foosball AND Greg Jones in Darts in the same night. -- Mike Newbern driving us to Bucks and bumping a redneck’s truck in the parking lot of a country bar, later determined it wasn’t much of a country bar. -- $2.50 domestics at the Turf. -- The Flo intern who wasn’t old enough to drink. -- The Flo intern who got his fake ID taken -- Drinking dirty martinis and playing silver strike bowling with Jeff Blatnick. -- Ted Witulski standing next to me saying “We’d like to hire him if we could finally get him to graduate” -- this might have been in 2002. -- Bucky Maughan telling me Grain Belt Premium will put hair on your balls. -- The story about how I missed the first Cormier-Morrison wrestle-off. -- Karaoke at Chumleys. -- Midget wrestling at Coaches. -- Coach from Delaware eating glass.
