It was a great weekend for the Big Red. We had a doubleheader on Saturday, starting with a 1 p.m. match at Hofstra, and then culminating in a 6 p.m. Ivy League faceoff at Columbia. Over the course of the day, our guys only gave up eight offensive points.
For those of you who have [...]

Matt, the Hofstra article was a great article. Those of us who were present all witnessed what you wrote about. If you wrote it differently, we’d all have noticed.
I, also, reacted in horror to JBB’s match when I saw his arm uncontrollably shaking in spasm as he was grimacing in pain after a very brutal headlock by Leen.
As you know, I saw it a little differently as to whether it was unsportsmanlike, but you made a point that makes me rethink my position when you write, “While I do think that it is a wrestler’s duty to make it as uncomfortable as possible on his opponent, I also believe that there is a difference between hurting one’s opponent and injuring them. While certainly not his intention, I viewed Leen’s aggressiveness as walking a fine line between the two.”
I think there is a difference too, and perhaps Leen crossed that line. One could reasonably argue that he certainly came close to it. Not only is your writing entertaining, but you make us think. Thanks.
I’m happy to learn that JBB will be back in the lineup shortly. How about PJ? Will he be back shortly?
