I think he is going to the best college wrestler from Ohio since Kemp.        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Michael Rodriguez added to this discussion on December 5, 2010 Quote from Michael Rodriguez's post: "It'll be great to see two Ohio stars face off, particularlly a Central Ohio guy, but, and I may be alone on this one, I see this as a pretty straight forward win for David Taylor. It's tough for me to type, because you'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Jessie Dong fan than me...But Taylor is just THAT GOOD. I don't see bonus, but I think Taylor will control the bout and win by a comfortable margin." I'm right so rarely, that I forget what it feels like.        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Ethan Moore added to this discussion on December 5, 2010 I enjoy seeing these results and remembering everyone on the national forums questioning his strength and ability to wrestle D1 57s.        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Mark Niemann added to this discussion on December 5, 2010 What's that noise I hear??? Oh, it's the Michael Rodriguez horn! I wonder who is tooting it? Oh, it's Michael!!! I'm impressed. A friend of mine said, this year, at the National Tournament, Penn State will go as far as David Taylor takes them. If everyone does what they are supposed/expected to, and D.T. wins it all, they will win the trophy. Should he falter, the PSU Nittany Lions will still have a solid showing but top 3, maybe top 5, is ow they'll end up. I like that statement. And I heart D.T.. And the DONGer for that matter.        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Patrick Campbell added to this discussion on December 5, 2010 Wow...impressive! Quote from Dan Ransick's post: "Taylor is simply at a different level that anyone from Ohio. I think he is going to the best college wrestler from Ohio since Kemp." That's strong. I hope it happens.        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Mark Niemann added to this discussion on December 5, 2010 One quick note (I think mainly because I have a slight man-crush on Lee Kemp): Lee Kemp began wrestling as a freshman in high school. 9th graders were not allowed to compete at the varsity level then. So he came out to his first varsity experience his sophomore year and went 11-8. That's 11 wins... and 8 losses. He then went on to win 2 State championships for Chardon! (Quick point: Can you imagine being in the state finals against a kid who's been wrestling for now a 3rd year!? You gotta be thinking you're gonna steamroll this kid!) He then went on to Wisconsin (in his fifth year of wrestling - maybe sixth if he red-shirted) and made the finals! Runner-up followed by 3 NCAA championships!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! To include 6!... That's SIX world titles!?!?!?!?! Special shout out to the 1980's administration for boycotting the summer Olympics that year! Oh and that reminds me; Lee Kemp is SWEEEEEEET!!! And Tommy Rowlands, have no fear. You are my bro-mance. Lee's just a man crush!        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Michael Rodriguez added to this discussion on December 5, 2010 Quote from Mark Niemann's post: "What's that noise I hear??? Oh, it's the Michael Rodriguez horn! I wonder who is tooting it? Oh, it's Michael!!!" It's only the first weekend of wrestling and you are in mid-season form my friend. Well played.        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Doug Brandt added to this discussion on December 5, 2010 Quote from Mark Niemann's post: "One quick note (I think mainly because I have a slight man-crush on Lee Kemp): Lee Kemp began wrestling as a freshman in high school. 9th graders were not allowed to compete at the varsity level then.

Like his mentor/coach Russ Hellickson, he was deprived of an opportunity to compete in the boycotted 1980 Olympics, where both were favored to win. Lee Kemp was a true freshman when he lost a referee's decision in the NCAA vs. Chuck Yagla of Iowa. He never lost again in college. Here's Kemp's web site: http://www.leekemp.com/aboutlee.htm        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Mark Niemann added to this discussion on December 6, 2010 I stand corrected... 4x medalist; 3x world champ, 1x third. Also, didn't he beat that one guy... Oh, what's his name!? Coached at Iowa for a while... Dan Gartner? Dave Ganston? Got it! Dan Gable!!!        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Ben Golden added to this discussion on December 6, 2010 Quote from Mark Niemann's post: " And I heart D.T.. And the DONGer for that matter." Oh no you don't! Not the same Mark Niemann who was just running Taylor's name into the ground a week ago!        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on December 6, 2010 What makes Taylor so unique among Ohio greats of recent years is his incredible mat skills. He has so much game from top position that it's almost unfair. That said--no Lee Kemp comparisons please. Too soon. Way too soon. Oh, and one more note on this topic. David Taylor was redshirted. Think that helped?        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Mark Niemann added to this discussion on December 6, 2010 Quote from Ben Golden's post: " Quote from Mark Niemann's post: " And I heart D.T..

You keep that up and someone on here might start believing it! To quote the smartest man in cyberspace: "So let me get this straight; if you don't crown him a 4xer right now, you hate him??? I don't get it." 4x sq's RULE!        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Rick Wasmer added to this discussion on December 6, 2010 Is there video of the match at that link ?        Discussion Topic: David Taylor 9, Jesse Dong 3 Scott Nicola added to this discussion on December 6, 2010 Who is this Taylor kid anyway?        ► Add to the Discussion Page 1, 2  Next
