It was 1959 and the Minneapolis Lakers were in Charleston, West Virginia to play against the Cincinnati Royals. As the Lakers were checking into their hotel, Elgin Baylor, Boo Ellis, and Ed Fleming were denied rooms because of the color of their skin. Baylor took it personally and chose to sit out the game.

The Big Ten Conference Football Championship game is a must-see on many fans of college football's annual watch lists. The schools' traditions and football programs are almost as old as the game itself. These title games had to start somewhere, and in this edition, we peek back into a post our guest Tim Brown wrote a while back on the inaugural Big 10 Championship game titled The Big Ten's First Conference Championship Game (in 1931) .

Today’s special guest is Dr. Michael Hutchison, who markets the PowerPlus mouth guard. This mouth guard is revolutionary and has shown to reduce the G-Force produced in a collision (reducing concussions), increased strength and balance, and increase performance and agility. This is important for athletes of all ages. We discuss how it works and the data produced from the research.

For the Pro Football history Nugget of the Week, we discuss the history of the mouth guard.

NO NONSENSE, OLD SCHOOL WEIGHTLIFTING HISTORY is presented by the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.

EPISODE SUMMARY

The Bulgarian Weightlifting team's success began with the hiring of Ivan Abadjiev as head coach of the National team. Abadjiev had been an assistant coach for many years but, in 1959, he got into trouble with government authorities by organizing a National Teenage Weightlifting Championship. The thinking at that time was that those under the age of 17 were too young to withstand heavy weightlifting rigors.

Back then, all the Soviet bloc countries were using the same training system–training three or four times a week and not pushing for 100% maximums except when a competition drew near. Abadjiev disagreed with that approach. He challenged authorities by claiming that he had a system that would enable Bulgaria to overtake the USSR and become the world's new weightlifting powerhouse. It was an audacious goal because the USSR had dominated weightlifting through the 1960s.

The Bulgarians finally relented, naming Abadjiev head coach. The year was 1969.

SHOW BACKGROUND

My name is Mark Morthier, and I host yesterday’s Sports on the Sports History Network. As many of you know from reading my articles and listening to my podcasts, I am not only an avid weightlifter but a fan of the sport as well. I’m excited to share my newest adventure, a show dedicated to promoting weightlifting, while also looking back at some weightlifting history. I’ll share some of my own stories and interview weightlifters from both past and present.

I competed in Olympic Weightlifting from 1981 to 1989 and powerlifting from 2011 to 2019. Although I wasn’t what one might call “a naturally gifted lifter,” I managed to clean & jerk 140 kilos/308 lbs at 179 lbs body weight. In my later years, I achieved a 600-pound deadlift and a 431-pound front squat in my mid-fifties. Although I was more successful in powerlifting, setting New Jersey and New York State records in Masters Competitions, I’ll always consider myself an Olympic Weightlifter. I’ve also written a book on weight training titled No Nonsense, Old School Weight Training, which is available on Amazon.

I hope that you will enjoy the show, and please leave a comment or offer a suggestion. And if you’re an Olympic lifter, past or present, let me know if you’d like to set up an interview, and I’ll do my best to have you on the show. Stay strong and God bless!

CHECK OUT YESTERDAY'S SPORTS (MY ORIGINAL SHOW)

Host Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area. He relives great moments from this time and beyond, focusing on football, baseball, basketball, and boxing. You may even see a little Olympic Weightlifting in the mix, as Mark competed for eight years. See Mark's book below.

The World's Greatest Pro Gridiron Team: The 1903 Franklin All-Stars. got closer to a perfect season in American football than anyone else in the sport’s professional history. A young merchant constructed the team in revenge for gambling losses and went undefeated, unscored upon, with opponents crossing the midfield stripe only twice and had an offense more productive than the famed collegiate point-a-minute teams.

Special Thanks to our dear friend Author R.C.Christiansen, who wrote the brilliant gridiron books of  The Border Boys and Mill City Scrum . R.C. came up with the idea to host the show and ask me questions about the book, and we appreciate him.

MILLY GOATS PODCAST (FROM WEBSITE)

We are you! Four normal guys with a podcast on a quest to capture a million dollar prize on DraftKings. We are not professional gamblers. Too many shows want to give you advice BEFORE the games and that's OK, what about after the games, who is there for you? WE ARE. We are the virtual and audio DFS sports bar for your ears so we can all talk about how we almost had it, or played that one guy, laugh about decisions gone wrong, and get hyped for the dart throws that ultimately let us down. One thing we know is that goats have always been able to survive harsh environments due to their resiliency, and in DFS we have to be resilient. So, join us as we talk mainly football (other sports too), discuss dad-life necessities, and crack jokes about all corners of life. Let's meet the Milly Goats...

AK BIO (FROM MILLY GOATS WEBSITE)

AK played football his entire life, like all of the milly goats, most recently as a punter and swiss army knife at App State (on the App State football website it says "one of the most versatile athletes", look it up). He once beat Pat McAfee in a coffin corner contest at a punting combine in 2005, also facts. Currently he is a Doctor of Physical therapy. He mostly appreciates witty humor and sports satire with the boys, where the idea of The Milly Goats Originated (via group text). Happily married and a father of two, the cleats have been retired for quite some time but if there were an adjusted 40 yard dash time for hot sports takes he would be sub 4.3 at the combine.
