Satchel is in the white. And clean shaven.
Congrats to Satch, who took home “Grappler of the Year” at tonight’s Wrestling Awards banquet. He’s been fortunate to have some great coaching over the past couple years, from Joey Gardner to Sonny Yohn (Div I All-American, U of Minn) to Leister Bowling, himself a UFC grappling coach, coach on “The Ultimate Fighter,” and former 3-time State Champion and Colorado State record holder for wins and take downs.
And of course me, some dude who learned a whole lot from Tony Cecchine, who is still the toughest man I’ve ever met.
Great job Satch and great job Warriors — whose 10 and under squad, which I was fortunate enough to help coach this year, took 3rd place in the All-State Team Awards!
Ok, dad, I’ll say it again
You have to revise your blueprints and set up a room just for Satch’s trophies, medals & honors.
WOOT! Satch!
Oh so nicely done. And whoa, that guy’s fist looks to be just shy of the volume of Satchel’s head.
Well placed Young apprentice,
Well placed!
Glad he’s enjoying something he’s good at.
And that will serve him well later in life.
the good times. god willing may you have more.
Congrats
Closest I’ve ever come to that was winning a county spelling bee. Didn’t even get invited to the statewide.
Hearty Congratulations, Master Satchel – Well Done.
speaking of spelling
That’s an impressive award. Congrats!
>speaking of spelling<
who let the yellow rodent in?
Imagine the fist bump you’d get!
Congrats!
BTW, is that a belt or a breastplate?
Carvin’s a heavy hitter.
I just had another Facebook friend post a photo of himself with Matt Hughes. Coincidence?
err…Carwin.
I seem to remember Dos Santos took him apart. But Carwin was a total warrior and continued to fight hard despite being severely bloodied. Respect.
OT: Bryan Preston had this to say about the Texas primaries last night:
I disagree. Not all incumbents deserve to lose their primaries, but all incumbents ought to be primaried regularly, if only to keep them a bit more humble and little less dishonest.
Ernst, you must be the one person who “liked” my comment on that thread, saying essentially what you’ve said here.
comment threads don’t load properly on my ol’ slo’ compewtor, so I missed yours
But yeah, I’m tired of people who ought to know better by now continuing to equate “conservative (enough)” with “Republican.”
Hence my link to Sensenbrenner’s asshattery.
