Wrestlers are really good at hand-to-hand combat as well. Probably better than a lot of people think. The moves a top wrestler can potentially pull on someone are lethal and fast.

Let me be the first to say that I would never attempt to wrestle a gopher much less teach the little varmint to swim.

What's next - cat juggling?

I could have been a Navy Seal if I were a little tougher and not afraid to get hit in the nose.

That and being afraid of the deep end....

I was over at Mariucci this afternoon, there was a sign on the door announcing a "Seal Challenge" at the Aquatic Center December 10th. Some kind of recruiting thing, I'd guess.

For those of you who don't know J. Robinson, he's one of the leading critics of Title IX and against the way it discriminates against Mens non-revenue sports.

Wrestling is the toughest sport. Wrestlers undergo the toughest conditioning, endurance training, weight control,and strength training in combination. JR's wrestling camp is probably the toughest in the country. (Wrestlers have to climb stairs with a wrestler on their back)

Gee, I wonder why the Seals would want Division I athletes with that kind of background?? Duh!

Any time anyone beats Oklahoma State, it's big news. Big kudos to the Gophers; now let's see them do the same at the nationals.

My former roommate from 25 years ago(RIP) was a horrible drunkard, and one time after drinking all night long he went over to the Navy recruiters office in Hopkins at about 8AM Saturday morning and burst through the front door and drunkenly announced "I WANNA BE A NAVY SEAL!!"

Needless to say they were quite amused and sent him home, but they actively recruited him for years to follow, often coming over to our house to try and talk him into joining up. Only thing was after he sobered up he didn't want to be a SEAL anymore.

What amazes me is there's still a wrestling progran around that hasn't been closed down due to title IX.
