@Stanford
you made a mistake. We challenge you to think on new lines.
#SaveStanfordWrestling
Stanford's Shane Griffith has become a national champion after the school made the decision to cut its wrestling program.
Griffith and teammates wore black singlets in the NCAA championships in response to the program being dropped.

Three takeaways from watching some wrestling this weekend:
1. The 3 pt takedown has increased stalling. Maybe bad, maybe not.
2. White singlets need to be loaded into a rocket and shot to the moon.
3. Duals are fun. We need a true national dual championship.
Andddd let’s go…
