X, you have got to quit drinking those 5 hour energy drinks............The Epic of Gilgamesh? WTH is that? I must have missed school that day.....
Now that I'm done hanging sh*t on you, it was a good post. One of the few camps I went to as a youngster, was one of Myron Rodericks camps. I still remember him showing the "gotcha" move on one of his assistants............We couldn't get away with that today.
I'm glad you hung some s... on me doug747, I deserved it although I have seen a lot of posts over the years much longer. I was actually hoping for more s... though. I was really hoping for some controversy over my post but no takers. I guess that I am just not as informative, interesting or engaging as Will.
As for the 5 hour energy drink thing, no chance of that, that is just good old fashioned caffeine in coffee which also is my #1 vice I might add. Nothing new there, just basically an everyday thing for me, wired and strung out from sun up to sun down.
Now as for the Epic of Gilgamesh that you hadn't heard of, I completely understand. If I learned about that in school, I don't remember or I wasn't paying attention when they went over it. I didn't know about that until after I became a coach and I have rode that ever since.
I concur with the young Mr. Eck. This is probably X's best post. BTW
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh They don't teach that stuff in Andale on any day! Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from Mesopotamia and is among the earliest known works of literature.
I too went to Roderick's Wrestling Camp. He called that move the "ROTATOR". He also offered a tuition refund to anyone that could take him down. Everyone always pulled his comb over down. Good stuff. I have lots of good stories from my trips to Stillwater!
I don't necessarily think its my best post Will but I thought it was pretty good. It was definitely honest and accurate.
I too was raised on the Roderick camp as you two might imagine. Growing up in Stillwater, you didn't have a choice if you were a wrestler. I can remember some epic matches in practice between Roderick and Dave Martin current OState Admin and past D1 champ. Roderick's son and Chesbro's son were team mates of mine at Stillwater High. The comb over definitely brings back memories. My dad has one of those too. I thought about it also but decided that wasn't for me and just shaved the horseshoe off.
