Tom Ryan fresh of his transfer from Syracuse to Iowa ranked 2nd in the nation runs into Sean Bormet a red shirt freshman from Michigan. Bormet really was willing to die with each attack in this mat which made for some great scrambles. One of the top D1 coaches in the country and the most successful club coache in the country battling back in the day. Ryan finished 2nd to Pat Smith at the 91 NCAA's and Bormet did not place. Coincidentally Bormet faced and almost dethrowned Pat Smith in the finals 3 years later.

It was all Technique.... I don't know which match you were watching;but from Ryan's Hi Crotch setups to Bormets scrambling and relentless attacks... there is no way that you could ask for a better match than what these two great men gave.

As far as I can see there is no 1990 Big Ten finals matches on the left. Flowrestling has not shown any matches from this tournament that I know of. I have the 1990 Big Ten tourney on video tape at home fool and Terry Brands crosses his singlet straps during the match because they get tanged in his oppenents arm. Do you want me to send you a copy?

doglist... look on the left and find the 1990 big ten finals match that terry brands is in... his singlet straps arent crossed fool

I've heard the "too ripped for their own good" bit before...

I know I've wondered. I just can't imagine these guys, who are CLASS ACTS off the mat, compromising their integrity like that.
Maybe if they played baseball!

Doglist 4 years ago

I'm not sure what video you are talking about. Maybe the 1991 Big Ten finals. I said Terry Brands crossed his singlet straps at the 1990 Big Ten finals. Different year.

iowa hater 4 years ago

I don't mean to be myself here but that entire Iowa Team was a little too "Ripped" for it's own good that year. If you know what I mean.....

that singlet 4 years ago

looks horribly ed...why did he do that?

Ben Gasser 4 years ago

Terry Brands did not cross his singlet straps in the big 10 finals. The video shows this...

bormet's a pus who used his injury as a coffee break

Iowa Fan 4 years ago

I don't believe Bormet was stalling. I give the guy all the credit in the world in this match. Two great wrestlers.

Cliff Fretwell 4 years ago

I'll put up Morgan soon.

Doglist 4 years ago

Ryan crossed his singlet straps so they would not get caught. Terry Brands did the same thing in the 1990 Big Ten finals. Also, I would love to see the Morgan and Funk matches from this tourney.

Johann Gerlach 4 years ago

Bormet's match v Pat Smith hooked me on this sport. I recall watching Bormet get pumped before his match. One of the most intense moments I can ever recall.

Brandon Veasey 4 years ago

Mike when you type I know you are trying to say something but all I see is:

"blah blah blah blah Veasey is my daddy blah blah"

Doug 4 years ago

Yeah looked to me like Bormet was using his injury time to stall. Maybe Caldwell watched this match before the finals. lol

Mike Krause 4 years ago

Cliff...im not sure but the ;-) face means hes kidding!

Sam 4 years ago

Why is Ryan's singlet twisted like that? Not much technique from these two, especially considering they are such good coaches now

Cliff Fretwell 4 years ago

Mark, the weight class was 158 until 99 when they did away with the 118 pound weight class and re assigned the weights. Although the commentary isn't the best they got the weight right.

Mark Niemann 4 years ago

How stupid is that channel!?!?!?! They had 158... DUH!!! It's 157!!! ;-)

Me likey.
