quote:LSU used to have NCAA Wrestling back in the mid 70's-mid 80's.
Throw in wrestling,
Shaquille O'Neal wasn't the first "Shaq" at LSU.
Head Coach Larry "Coach Shack" Sciacchetano, (Pronounced Sha Kah Tan O) performed a Miracle at LSU and had the Wrestling team in the Top Ten nationally, competing with all those Traditional Wrestling Power Big 10/Big 12 schools.
Matches were in the "Assembly Center" (As it was called back then) and I attended most of them.
It very entertaining; intense, up close and personal.
If I remember correctly, LSU was the only Wrestling program in the SEC back then too.
It would go over big time with LSU fans if they brought it back.........

A casualty of title IX, which is a shame. We had a really good program. I went to a few of the meets as well when I was a kid, back in the George Atiyeh days.
