  I wore a plastic suit every day of my life in wrestling. I use to sweat out 6 pounds a practice..and I weighed less than 140. Wore a singlet over the plastics and long sleeve shirt with ankles and wrists taped so that sweat would run out. Had to go 'drain' sweat a few times each practice.
  
  I wore tights in HS....every team did. Whose idea was that anyways?

  That was improper even back in the day.............but I do see your point, we were a lot tougher.

  Like the coach on Vision Quest, old polyseter singlet over a polo shirt LOL

  I'm more of a cape and mask kind of guy!
• Gardens35

  Some may recall this: My first wrestling uniform was a three piece.......#1.The tights, pretty self explanatory, tied at the waist. #2.The Top, it was sleeveless with a long tail in the back with snaps on it that you brought down through your backside, up over your crotch, then snapped into place in the front. 3. Briefs that resembled a speedo/bikini bottom. Worn to cover the snaps etc. of piece#2.
  
  
  
  After they went out of style we sold them to Oak Harbor.

  I choose to empty the dishwasher.
  
  From there I will put the kids to bed and read Leviticus 4 through 7.

  I do not like the names Leaders and Legends. Just doesn't do it for me.

  I do, however, LOVE Carmen Ohio!
  
  Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise
  And songs to Alma Mater raise
  While our hearts rebounding thrill
  With joy which death alone can still
  Summer's heat or winter's cold
  The seasons pass the years will roll
  Time and change will surely (truly) show
  How firm thy friendship ... OHIO!
  
  These jolly days of priceless worth
  By far the gladdest days on earth
  Soon will pass and we not know
  How dearly we love Ohio
  We should strive to keep thy name
  Of fair repute and spotless fame
  So in college halls we'll grow
  And love thee better ... OHIO!
  
  Though age may dim our mem'ry's store
  We'll think of happy days of yore
  True to friend and frank to foe
  As sturdy sons of Ohio
  If on seas of care we roll
  Neath blackened sky or barren shoal
  Thoughts of thee bid darkness go
  Dear Alma Mater...OHIO!

  I know of one who is probably at least reading this thread who was beaten repeatedly by a girl at open mats. She made him a better wrestler. You go Gabby! We're all proud of you.
  
  And yes... I'll pay the price for posting that.

  I'm a little behind. A little = 6 days...

  What's the most weight you ever saw anyone "drop" from end of practice to next day match weigh-in?
• Gardens35

  When I was a freshman one of our "heavy hitting" Seniors was our 175. He weighed out at 192. Stuck around for a few hours helping and watching all the "techniques of the day" until it was time to go home. Next evening he weighed in at 175. Not sure of the exact time, but his match went less than 30 seconds.

  Dugan Bentley... Probably lost anywhere from 8 to 10 pounds in about 3 hours. Dude could straight cut weight. 2x AA at Ashland! Current coach at Beachwood High.
  
  I've never wrestled at the Cincinnati Gardens. Nor has Rex Frohnapfel. He told me that it was the worst site for a state tournament... EVER!!!!
  
  What do you think about 3 seperate sites for the state tournament???

  I like the idea being proposed for two seperate sites............one for the NorthEast, and the other for everyone else.
