@ShaneSparksBTN @ARobles125 First in-person NCAA Champion for me was in 1983. 118lb Adam Cuestas, Cal State Bakersfield 1983. Second one was 126lb Barry Davis, who wrestled right after Adam.

I was in HS and working the table as a towel tapper.

Beautiful evening for the Spring 2026 @ASUEngineering convocation ceremony.

Congrats to all these undergraduate students!

Well done Eric Church. Happy graduation season!

[J.P. Hovey @jhovey34]

Honestly was not expecting Eric Church to give one of the best commencement speeches of all time.

Chief CRUSHED this 🫡

@Stealy_phil @sockobuw Hey be nice ! 😎

You are right, there will be a learning curve. But I bet the wrestler's stop going out of bounds so much.

What a cool video!

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Jesse, Steve, Laddy, and Vlad….such an incredible feeling to welcome you aboard Integrity after a nearly 700,000 mile journey. Forever thankful for your service to our crew and the nation.

@KozakJon What are your thoughts on incentivizing pushing the wrestler out?

[Chuck Barbee @ChuckBarbee1]

@KozakJon I guess as a clip to support a push out, I didnt think it was great wrestling. I commend their effort though, they are both obviously trying very hard.

RIP to another legend in the sport of wrestling.

[FloWrestling @FloWrestling]

One of the most influential figures in wrestling history passed on March 29, 2026. J Robinson competed for Oklahoma State and qualified for the 1972 Olympic Greco team before a legendary coaching career.

Robinson was an assistant under Gary Kurdelmeier and Dan Gable (1972-84) at the University of Iowa before leading Minnesota to NCAA team titles in 2001, 2002, and 2007. The Golden Gophers were the first team outside Iowa or Oklahoma to win multiple D1 NCAA titles in men’s wrestling.

[Chuck Barbee @ChuckBarbee1]

Giving belts to the NCAA Wrestling champs is so cringy...

I believe, NCAA wrestling weigh-ins are going on right now.

Hoping all wrestlers are in line and on weight.

[Chuck Barbee @ChuckBarbee1]

@paul_mohr2000 @Zar__45 Taking on the task of trying to define, let's say, just a single takedown is pretty tough...think of all the scenarios for even just one takedown and then all the defenses being applied to try and stop it. Not saying it wouldn't be good...just hard to do.

[Chuck Barbee @ChuckBarbee1]

All the wrestling folks asking for no reaction time...have you really thought that through?

I am genuinely curious how you think that makes scoring more clear.

[Chuck Barbee @ChuckBarbee1]

@Zar__45 I would contend that how to earn points is very clear and objective.

The problem is the wrestler trying to score doesn't do what is required. When this happens people want "close" to be good enough, but that is not fair to the other wrestler.
