The Universal Mo--this time compared to a National Wrestling Champ!
CEDAR FALLS, IOWA - "Think the Yankees' Mariano Rivera is a great closer?
He's got nothing on Cole Konrad.For the second consecutive year, Konrad posted a walk-off pin, giving the Gophers the championship of the National Wrestling Coaches Association/Cliff Keen National Duals. Konrad, the defending NCAA heavyweight champion, pinned Missouri's Tyler Perry in 2 minutes, 13 seconds, rallying the No. 2-ranked Gophers from a two-point deficit to a 20-16 victory over the No. 1 Tigers on Sunday."

- Granted the 'Minneapolis Star Tribune News Services' writer ends up saying the wrestler is even better than Mo, but we're talking about a writer from Minneapolis, actually acknowledging the supreme standard Mariano provides. (They'll never do this around BBWAA awards time, of course). But, they've been caught, as it were.
