CLARK WINS

[ih8iast8]

I passed Cory as he was going into Carver about an hour ago. I hope they honor him at the basketball game.

I'm with AF, this thread can stay at the top of the Board until next November as far as I'm concerned.

Okay . . .

I have watched his finals match 2 times already at work today......

Tonight when I got to bed, I'll watch Heil's match, so I can fall asleep right away.

I've rewatched 49 though 84 a couple of times (and my wife keeps asking me why). The only other match I also rewatch was Clarks. Was out of my seat 6 times during the finals.

Even surprised myself how much I was rooting for Clark. I said back in Dec or Jan that a 75% Clark could beat anyone but possibly Nato. He proved it was everyone. That will be a great tape to show his kids and grandkids.

Here is a short vid of Terry talking about CC after the finals match. At about 1:25 into the interview Terry talks about negative recruiting against Iowa.

 

[Kwoodhawk]

Congratulations Cory Clark. Incredible accomplishment with those injuries. I was 1 ft away from the TV for the whole 2 and 3rd period. Trying to help all I could. Great job!!

I enjoyed his reaction after it was over. "Here, take my headgear, my mouth piece, and oooh, I'm supposed to hug you now."

Clark was probably the epitome of a "blue collar" type of wrestler. Many of his opponents were stronger or quicker than him. But they did not have the perseverance and spirit that Cory had. He demonstrated to us all what the "will to win" is all about.

I agree Kwood except I really think CC is one of the strongest if that the strongest at 133 he might not look it but he sure does show it even with one arm severely injured . I had the same injury in HS it's brutal

Nobody in college wrestling is better with a 2-on-1 Russian Tie than Cory Clark.

 

[Ihawkd9times]

Well given recent events, Clark is the only thing that is keeping me positive. Gonna just only think about his victory. Bump

 

[pablow]

I'll bet Cory isn't whining and crying today.

 

[Outside_Single01]

All I am saying is F*** Teasdale, lets turn a Teske/Thomsen homegrown boy into a NC like Clark!! Bump

 

[LaxHawk174]

Very cool Cory Clark interview.. Starts around 18:40 mark, and continues for about 10-12ish minutes.

Another good Cory Clark interview on trackwrestling. Heres a quote for all of the haters that are trying to demean Brands.

"
We’re trying something different with the last part of the series. We’re giving every wrestler the opportunity to ask a question to the next guy we interview. Cornell’s Brian Realbuto asked: What was your favorite moment in your whole wrestling career?

My favorite moment was throwing Terry Brands. You’ve got to know his history a little bit, but when Terry Brands is so happy he wants to get back-arched onto the mat, that’s a great day."

that is cool
