you guys are confusing scrambling with the funk roll...

rick sanders - scrambling
mitch clark - funk
case dismissed.

Ridiculous scramble !!!

ok, really...so folkstyle is all about 'control freestyle'? Or is it about control, while 'freestyle is not completely about risk;' only partially? Maybe folkstyle is about seeking out reasonable stopping points, like a sentence, and controlling the flow of the sentence so it makes sense to someone other than the person who wrote it; and this might imply that freestyle is an endless flow, with risk, if the flow goes on the wrong direction. I'm not really clear on this, but the connection here seems to be to the ongoing scramble, a seemingly endless series of funk that doesn't have much connection to what is normally regarded as a clear, well executed and definite move.

Actually, scrambling is nothing new to the sport of wrestling. It's little more than not willing to give up. That being said, one dude who had some funk on the mat was Rick Sanders from Portland State dating back to the 1960s.

In his funk instructional dvd Askren gives a quote from Rick Sanders, I wouldn't be surprised if Sanders had a little influence on the Askren funk.

Better than freestyle? No. Folkstyle is crippling our wrestling america is the only place in the world where folkstyle is practiced. Folkstyle is all about control freestyle is not completly but partially about risk

Ben Askren made 'scrambling popular but the very first guy to scramble was Mitch Clark From Ohio State

And that's why folkstyle is SO MUCH better than freestyle.

Nice music...the 'flight of the bumblebee' fit well with the dancing on one foot defense, and during that phase of the match, there was plenty of scramble and excitement. The initial excitement fades as the match slows to a crawl though -- eating up most of the last half of the match; being long doesn't really equate with being the best scramble of the week...or is this just the funky fresh scramble of the week, and not the actual scramble of the week>?

I would have liked to see how the rest of the match went probably not much action after that exchange!

longest scramble ever? seriously... like "Flight" just said: it's not really possible to get one much longer.

Nick M 2 years ago

nice.....goes to show how never givin up shot couteroffensive pays off

Flight of the bumble bee 2 years ago

You just can't see scrambles longer than that. Kevin Tao shot two seconds in and McCormick finished at the whistle for the end of the first period!

Yet the inventor of the Abas Roll Gerry Abas, thus invention of the scramble.

This is what fighting to the finish is all about. never give up 2 pts, no matter how deep the shot is.

I was thinking more like Mitch Clark. The dude was crazy with his knees, legs and twisting and turning. And he won his NCAA championship in '98 I do believe! Askren didn't get on the scene until 2006 or 2007. (I'm not saying Asren isn't funky, because he is... A LOT! But more about Mitch being just as crazy and almost a decade earlier.)

The greatest modern day adjustment to wrestling is the technique of scrambeling. To bad its worth jack in the Freestyle/Greco world.

3) Scrammbling... it seems to have taken on a life of it's own. My question: Much like John Smith might be seen as the pioneer for the low-single attack, who would you say is the pioneer of scrammbling?

Id say Cary Kolat first weird knee ive seen

Sorry Flo, but u guys missed the boat on this one. Ain't nothing better than Scott Winston's pin of Zach Toal of Mizzou. He turned a dangerous situation into a flat-out DIRTY fall!!!

Ahhh, I was already logged in! Sweet!

Small cranged.

^^^ That's what I had to type! Crang??? Wasn't that the brain on Ninja Turtles?

Anywho, the scramble... WOW! That was awesome.
3 things...
#1) Nice to see the ref not stop it for anything. Potentially dangerous, stalemate, whatever.
#2) The 4 H's of defense... Head, hands, hips and heart. Both displayed some heart in this.
#3) Scrammbling... it seems to have taken on a life of it's own. My question: Much like John Smith might be seen as the pioneer for the low-single attack, who would you say is the pioneer of scrammbling?
