In their penultimate match of the 21-22 season, GMU hosted Rider and it turned out to be a wild event. At least from my vantage point! In addition to some craziness in some of the individual matches, the team score was in doubt up until the final bout. In the end, though, Rider pulled out…

GMU Wrestling Battles Clarion
“Guess who’s back, back again.Shady’s back. Tell a friend” – Eminem It’s been a long two years since my last post. Boy, has a lot changed! For those who are new to my little blog, I started back in 2015, going to primarily minor league stadiums all over the east coast. A few years ago,…
GMU Sports New Unis, Takes Down Brown
Last month was a big month for George Mason University wrestling. On one night, not only did they host their first dual ever inside EagleBank Arena, they also debuted some cool new uniforms. And I have to say, both the unis and the wrestlers were sharp!! The Patriots came from behind to defeat the Bears…
GMU Wrestling – What a Wonderful World
Don’t know much about technical falls. Don’t know much about granby rolls. Don’t know much about screw lock throws. Don’t know much about single leg takedowns. But I do know a fall is worth 6 points. And if I could get the hang of escapes and reversals What a wonderful world this would be. Lyrics…
George Mason University at 2019 EWL Champs – Round 3
Note: for more photos, check out round 1 and round 2. Going through my photos these last couple of days, I’ve actually learned a lot. I’m still new to this sport, and there’s a lot that I miss at full speed. For example, I thought, why doesn’t a wrestler just get up? I mean, get…

Note: to see the first round of photos I posted, click here. Last night was the second year in a row that I watched the NCAA championships on tv. What an incredible event. I was following the tournament primarily on Twitter for the first couple of days. I was at a conference and couldn’t very…
George Mason University at 2019 EWL Champs – Round 1
I am woefully behind in my blogging. These next few posts will be relatively short, as I want to get some photos posted. On Saturday, March 9th, I attended my first ever EWL championships, hosted by George Mason. Ironically, it was the last EWL champsionships, as all seven schools recently announced they have accepted membership…

Family, Friends, Fun, and Fond Farewells – Just Another Day With Mason Wrestling
Edit: if you would like to see additional photos, please click here. All right, all alliteration aside, Sunday’s dual between George Mason and University of Maryland was one of the best times I’ve had since I’ve been following the Patriots. Although the final score didn’t go GMU’s way, the matches were exciting, and the day…
GMU Wrestling – The Avengers
Last night, the George Mason University Patriots defeated the Frankling and Marshall Diplomats 36-10, avenging last years loss at home by a score of 22-17. I looked at my car thermometer, and the following movie scene came to mind: It was 21 degrees. It was very cold in Lancaster. Not only did the team get…

In a back and forth match, GMU pulled out the win, 20-19. Talha Farooq, Julio Alegria, Tejon Anthony, and Kolby Ho all notched wins to…
