Who was the LU wrestler who threw Kyle Dake to his back?

Depends on your definition of threw.
Nathaniel Brown bear hugged him towards his back but Dake counter threw him.

Nope. Dake wasn't just "bear hugged .... towards his back". He was actually on his back - but not long enough for a count. It happened right in front of me. I'm not imagining it.

Seth Ciasulli.

Would have been 4 in freestyle.

And it happened right below me during the broadcast. Before they landed I saw Dake's feet planted and parallel on the mat and he had double overs going. I knew he had a Greco background. Steve was getting excited and I touched his arm and said that Dake was going to win this situation. The Greco guys pop their hips just before landing.

**** I was in the 2nd row and they landed no more than 12 feet from me. For a second I stood up and roared but something inside told me "this is someone special that Nate was wrestling, and Dake might just survive the throw."

No doubting the incredible wrestler,.. but care to elaborate per "wore-out?"

Many of these high-caliber competitors have a certain shelf-life/expiration date that can be extended, and enhanced in another room, hence a change of scenery. What better place right now than in HAPPY VALLEY and the NWC! Was wondering the kind of "stipend" he might demand OR they were offering,.. or for that matter the protocol on some of these college campuses. How 'bout Lehigh's LVAC,..who pays the freight?

Speaking of paying-the-freight I noted the Fund for rewarding our Olympic/World medalists,..not too shabby!
Stewards include a couple NCAA Champs who have obviously done well along with a few Princeton multi-millionaires.

In the alternate universe Dake was called for stalling and Napoli took him to OT where he threw him to his back

This is the Alternate Universe where Spike did call the False start on Mark L and Ely then beat him in OT
