What a wimp! If I had just won the quarters, I'd be celebrating with a beer and some groupies in the back. Then I'd crush Pucillo and Herbert and fly off to Vegas!
That's what I did when I placed 6th in our JV regional. You gotta know how to roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has all the elements of a great story! You can't blame Umbehauer one bit for crying. Throughout all of his career, he'd been so close on so many occasions and then he finally does it! All the hard work, all of the sacrifices, all of the dedication, the determination paying off. This is freakin awesome. Anyone who can't see that, has never sacrificed, worked hard, or giving up so much in their life for a goal.
Increadible perfromance Doug! Love the raw emotion... visually shows the level of intensity and commitment required to get there... others would do well to learn from you... You make us proud! Welcome to Rider's "got my picture on the wall" club... Lucky # 13...
i know you arent supposed to cry but whos going to tell him otherwise, he did great. it's kinda like cejudo in the olympics; nobody in the world could tell him to stop cryin cause he beat them(except his momma)
Forget the haters. Enjoy your victory. You did Lenape proud by going further than any wrestler in its history.
Forget comparisons to these multi-state champ pedigrees. You got there on hard work and gristle.

thats because we had two national chapions, a runner upo and a handful of all americans in this one tournament come from Jersey. What other state did that? Hater....

Haha, a New Yawkuh calling people from another state annoying and irritating! Go drive your shiney Escalade into the Hudson River

...lol by showing modesty that means that you think they ARE as great as they say?
hahah chillout man...NJ is great, So are others, if it bothers u then chant for another state
otha wise...chillaaxxx
jaggers didnt cry because he was a blue chip recruit out of highschool who was born with the talent to be an all american. doug wasn't even a state champ who trained and sacrificed and went through a lot of adversity to get on that podium and deserves to celebrate it however he needed to.
Also jaggers tear ducts might have been dried up from the tanning beds hes been in lately

Doug, ONLY REAL MEN CRY! You are an awesome wrestler and a great man. You are a role model to so many wrestlers. The coaches are great at Rider and do care for the wrestlers, it is obvious! Congratulations to your parents.
Enjoy the moment!
GO BRONCS!
Great journalism being able to capture this without infringing on his moment. Nothing wrong at all with it. I'm sure he's not embarrassed by it. Beating Keddy was a nice upset - and gets him the coveted All-American status that he will always have attached to his name.
time to take down the stick figure drawing he has up where the all-american pics at rider go and put a real one up... nice work doug, rider, coach taylor and of course john hangey
Having wrestled for HC Gary Taylor, I can't tell you how real that scene is. I only wish we could get him to the finals.....Don Fisch close in2007....Doug close today. He is total class and loves his guys.
Serious wrestlers understand this goes right to the heart of passion and dedication....You'd only understand it if you ever wanted anything so bad, you'd make the personally deprivating sacrifices needed, and for as many years as it takes, to get that thing. The amazing thing is that wrestlers do it for no gain other than what they expect of themselves. This is what makes the sport special and like no other.
when you give everything you have, everyday. For the opportunity to achieve something few have done. And you accomplish some feat that is comparable to beating Phil Keddy in 7 minutes of wrestling. You deserve to cry. I dont blame him.
Why show this? Because it shows another side and dimension of the sport. Wrestlers are suppossed to be tough and stoic, so it's nice to see the contrast. I think it's touching! Great bond between athlete and coach
wrestling is emotional. I see nothing wrong with him releasing this emotion, he put everything he had into this match. but, ya, it's personal. Congrats on a great match!
anyone who knows how much is put into this sport would not blame him for crying. Congrats on the AA honor Umbehauer. (even tho you beat one of my hawks)
That's what I did when I placed 6th in our JV regional. You gotta know how to roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Won this by a piss poor call by the official.”
Forget the haters. Enjoy your victory. You did Lenape proud by going further than any wrestler in its history.

in the bible
John chapter 11 verse 35 it says "Jesus wept."
Enough said
Enjoy the moment!
GO BRONCS!
Whats even more impressive is that he beat the same guy again to take 3rd.
Envy is a pretty good word to describe it.
Ya, but he's in the national semi's...where are you ?
awesome moment!
