My favorite memory....between sessions 1 and 2 we were walking towards the lacrosse field to check out the score. Tan Tom was locked on the tOSU bus, the door wouldn't open for anything. He found a screwdriver and was trying to get the door open, to no avail. We were right by the bus laughing our asses off.

Immediately after a tight NON-BONUS win Jesse Mendez shamelessly shilling for the Hodge on national TV by saying: “I want to win a Hodge. That comes with bonus points in every single match. So um, I’m just trying to be a step ahead of the pack and separate myself from the pack….”

You need to edit the tailgate choice.

It was Paul's, McPat's, Glenn's, Creamery Freak's, Nola's, and all the other wrestling fans tailgate. Plus Catrombone's Mom.

Maybe one of my favorite moments was seeing Nerf glide away on his scooter. He needs to give out lessons to one of our wrestlers.

PJ’s butt-kicking of Taylor. After AT won the first match he walked off the mat shushing the fans and pointing to his head. Crawled off this time w his tail between his legs!
I remember him pointing to his head like he intentionally slowed the match down and was smarter than PJ. He should have simply pointed to his chest this time. he certainly didn’t have enough gas/heart this time.

OMG, is this real?! 😂

After his car getting towed at trials…. That guy just makes it tooo easy on us.

I saw him coming out of the arena with Feldman right after Nick won 3rd, and just as he got to me he unmistakably muttered an f-bomb to himself. Maybe he was remembering he had to figure out how to reattach the bus door before they could go home.

I'm trying to post a pic of the incident...something wrong with the file. It was hysterical

For me it was 86PSUPaul and his tradition of fighting with team rival moms. Followed up by HLStone's mea culpa with the Nebraska section by doing the unspeakable and leading a Go Big Red chant to keep the peace.


Wait... where were you?

You had to be close to know that much. I must admit, it was pretty fun leading a "Go Big Red" chant during a Brock Hardy match. He is a favorite wrestler of mine.

I was saving the Paul vs. Nebraska story for Paul's write-up on the weekend.

I was sitting next to a very nice tOSU couple who really thought they had a long shot. They said they really needed Cannon to beat Duke to have a path and after Cannon got the first takedown, they said a bonus here would be huge….whoops. They didn’t show for session 2 but did come back for the finals.

I also was staying at tOSUs team hotel. Was surreal after checking in to get off the elevator to see Tom getting on. I thought I must have been mistaken, he was shorter than I thought, but when I left the OSU crew were all in the conference room presumably for a team meeting.

I also ran into Messenbrink coming out of Panera Sunday lunch time and was able to wish him luck. My well wishes must have been inspiring.

Fun weekend, super excited for the show the boys will put on in Cleveland.

I didn’t what to make of the initial post about this… and I’m still unsure with AI and all… but wow
I asked Google AI if it was AI, it said:
The image was not created with Google AI, though it is not possible to definitively rule out the use of other generative tools.

Several visual elements suggest this is a standard photograph:

  • Identifiable Subject: The man in the image is Tom Ryan, the head coach of the Ohio State University wrestling team.
  • Contextual Consistency: He is wearing apparel with the Ohio State logo and a "B1G" (Big Ten Conference) credential, which is consistent with team travel for collegiate athletics.
  • Optical Details: The reflections of the sky and clouds on the bus windshield, as well as the appearance of the interior dashboard and the driver’s side mirror, show a high degree of natural detail and lighting consistency.
  • Anatomical Accuracy: The hands visible on the dashboard do not exhibit the common distortions or artifacts often found in AI-generated imagery.
The photo appears to be a candid shot of Coach Ryan on a team bus, likely taken during a competition trip.
