Love how a 1999 clip posted by the NCAA is better quality than a FloWrestling clip filmed in 2020
I predict this Sanderson kid could have a big future in wrestling.
Definitely got talent but I recon he will struggle with the freestyle adjust maybe should consider Greco
I think he's a 1 hit wonder
@@OvertheHIL524 lol you're so stupid he's the penn state head coach
@@gurubazawada2936 boy you're a quick one aren't you? Grab a dictionary and look up the word sarcasm. I thought it was pretty obvious, but apparently your IQ is less than room temp.

Cael Sanderson, Brandon Eggum, J Robinson, Bobby Douglas and Chris Bono all in one video? What a time to be a wrestler this was! 🔥
Made it look easy. Relaxed, having a good time and playing around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone make something that is so hard to do, look so easy. That is a master at his craft.
I think the key to Sanderson seems obvious is he is so wel rounded. Good with pins, good with takedowns standing. His speed seems to be his greatest strength, but he really has no weakness either. He combines speed with strength, with intelligence, and finally stamina. He seems to never tire either
Jeff knew back then...."the sky is the limit for him"...great commentator over the years, RIP
He really was. I want to punch so many commentators in the face because they are just obnoxious. Jeff truly loved the sport and gave back to it with all his heart. Miss hearing his voice during NCAAs.
It's so cool to see a couple of future Big 10 HC's facing off.
I like how immediately after the announcer says "he doesnt calculate much" Sanderson shows exactly what he was talking about
Close to 100,000 views for this legendary first NCAA Title for Sanderson. Eggum and Sanderson are now great coaches for Minnesota and Penn State respectively!!
Could you guys post my NCAA Championship match? I almost had him!
🐐
Winners get their requests answered. Runners-up have to wait until every champ gets priority first. I’m sure if Mark asks, it will be done.
We'll grab that one. Thanks Bo.
NCAA Championships Thanks you guys the 🐐
Joseph Henderson why you gotta be a dick he wrestled a great match against a great wrestler
Cael beat some serious STUDS in the finals over his career: Eggum (3x All-American, World Silver, University of Minnesota Head Coach), Vertus Jones (3x All-American, absolute stud), Daniel Cormier (Olympian, World Bronze, UFC LHW/HW Champ), Jon Trenge (3x All-American, maybe the best wrestler to never win a national championship in my opinion.)
yes, pretty stacked group there. In addition, Eggum was a world silver medalist 2 years after this.
Elvis I agree with trenge being the best not to win. Was seconds from beating hahn.
@@butch1dc yes, that was an insane ending to that match.
Good call.
@Bill Wetzel Thanks for that, Bill! I updated some credentials in my post.
Wrestled him (Cael) in HS at Reno. He was definitely good back then but he really took it to a whole different level in college. I am fairly sure it was at Reno but it may also have been the California Classic that was held at Davis (tourny no longer exists and was ran by Tirapelle Sr when they were in NorCal).
How much did you lose by sir?
@@hisgrace956 12-3
I don’t know why his achievements aren’t hailed in sports more. He also spanned or is continuing to span two centuries!
Because people don't like real wrestling for some reason. Even though it's the toughest sport out there for school aged kidz
@@jhtsurvival I agree. I wish wrestling got more recognition , and It was easier to get into wrestling outside of schools
True wrestling is so disrespected. Someone like Kyle Dake is our number one prospect for a gold medal and he barely gets acknowledgment. Same with Sanderson. His accomplishments should go down in all of sports as a top 5. Imagine one injury or sick day and you lose a match out of 159 of them. So easy to do and yet he always won. No wrestler has come close since now in over 20 years
Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar the few wrestlers who are famous is usually through the fake wwe wrestling or. UFC. I guess the fact that most mixed martial arts champions are former wrestlers does help a little bit make the sport more popular
He was outstanding in high school, but he really turned the corner going into college. A lot of wrestlers face burnout or complacency. Sanderson only seemed to get hungrier every single year. He only wrestled to win, never “not to lose”. Zero surprises that he is already one of the greatest coaches of all time.
loved his coach for years
Cael won a NCAA title in JV headgear and no one is talking about it.
Wau what a victory
They announcers mentioned Brock Lesnar. Was he wrestling at this time? Sounds like he was doing the championship match at the end.
Eggum was a coach / counselor at J-Rob when I went in ‘96...
lol those minnesota guys were so sauced up!!!
More plates more dates natty or juiced
Love the intensity of Douglas lol
So many takeaways from this, one Bobby Douglas does not get enough credit or recruiting and training Sanderson. Also Cael's style is like a lightweight! Now these guys face each other all the time as coaches, pretty cool
“Cael, we’re gonna be looking for you again next year.” And the year after that... and the year after that.
Just built differently
By any chance can you guys put the match from Cody Sanderson and Eric Jeurgens, or Michael Lightner vs Carl Perry?
That would be nice 🤼
NCAA do you have any of Kurt Angles matches from his college days? He wrestled for Clarion university I believe
Every time Brandon in gold stands up and turns towards the camera they cut away... I wonder why?
It’s interesting how far out Sanderson puts his lead leg I am surprised it wasn’t really attacked
quite likely baiting opponent to shoot
4:37 good example
Cael Sanderson freshmen year I think he had the hardest opponent in the finals.
Definitely, once he got past the strength part of it he was killing fools.
He always had absolute studs in the finals! Eggum, Daniel Cormier (Olympian, UFC LHW/HW Champ), Jon Trenge (3x All-American, maybe the best wrestler to never win a title), Vertus Jones (3x All-American, another absolute stud).
Elvis Yep agree. He only won 5-1 and the other opponents he beat them by 5-6 or 7 points. Cael got stronger and it isn’t the easiest but not the hardest feet either to win a title as a freshmen. Idk many freshmen who won except Spencer Lee, J’den Cox, Logan Stieber, Nathan Tomasello, Kyle Dake and ofc Cael Sanderson
@@xenonmaster6668 Mark Hall, Myles Martin, Dustin Schlatter, Isaiah Martinez, Vincenzo Joseph, Pat Smith, Ed Banach, Lincoln McIlvarey all won as freshmen. I'm sure there's more, those were just off top of my head.
Makes it look so simple
Man, I miss Jeff Blatnick. Went to the same high school as him and I swear, HALF THE TOWN is named after him
Me too! He was one of the best commentators for sure and he was also great at MMA commentating.
What town is that?
Best Hire Penn State EVER made.
I wonder if the ideal physique like in boxing for wrestling is not necessarily to be as massively muscled as Eggum is because of speed and stamina issues. Sanderson seems to win this basically on the speed factor. He is just shoots much faster than Eggum does and that is the difference.
Cael Sanderson. And U.S.A Wrestling 😎 relentless wrestler !!! He would run on his knees and get an ankle. Wrestled like a praying mantis. 2 on 1 goes a long, long way. Too bad Utah drop the ball on wrestling in 1979. But the women's gymnastics team (Redrocks) got extra money because they canceled wrestling program. So I went to Oregon. what I would have given to wrestle for Master Bobby Douglas !!! Trivia question, up until 1978 which high school wrestling program had the highest win loss record ? It was my high school wrestling coach. 🤗
Great to see these clips. I have seen Kyle Dake defeat David Taylor his senior year for the title, but not his other years. Would love to see those. This sport and its stars deserve more acclaim.
Does anyone know if anyone has come even close to Sanderson's record since? Anyone with 5 losses or less? Also is Iowa State or Minnesota still top wrestling programs? How are they in 2023? Penn State I know is now one of the best.
Sky could be the limit for Sanderson the announcer says. Well yes 159 wins with 0 losses later and 4 division 1 title later seems to be sky being the limit
Can you post Rob Rohn vs Josh Lambrecht
Sure thing. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/KYna2mqtXqU/видео.html
Key part of the match seems to have occurred at 2:36
Sanderson is impeccable
Cael looks like he didn't cut any weight for this season
I wrestled eggums kid
How good was he??
Ankles up
Bubba jenkins nat match against taylor is the best ever
Why?
Damn at 02:36 did anyone else hear the sound of Caels knee hitting the mat. Sounds like a baseball bat
Eggum was 34-1 and they dont tell us who he lost too??
Flowrestling stole their idea from the abas flow..
lmao that Golden Gopher is 100% on roids lol
Somehow they had Cael's record wrong....they said 37-0 coming into the finals multiple times, but his overall record is always listed as 39-0 for his freshman season.
So they didn't have his semi final listed. He would have been 38-0 to start this match and this would have made 39-0
I wonder if Eggum as coach will ever face Sanderson as coach. Minnesota versus Penn State now.
Eggum looked terrible on bottom.
Eggum thought he was a big strong wrestler man, he got tossed around.
I wouldn’t say tossed around, got taken down with two low singles and an ankle pick off a reattack
@@cosinguspalpatine4449 choose your words in any manner you want. If those takedowns happened in a shopping mall, you'd say he got tossed around.
@@lawsonransom8318 No we wouldn't, tossed around is like what Alexander Karelin would do to opponents, this guy did get thoroughly outclassed by Cael though.
@@kevthegoat8774 you insolent miscreant. Do not ever contradict me.
Prob wouldn't of worked but at the point in the 3rd period where Cale almost is tilting him I would of reached for cales head it was under the armpit.
MY NAMES CAEL :D
