TIM PEELER: Remembering Tab Thacker

It was hard to know who to feel sorrier for: the opponents who had to step onto the mat to face massive NC State heavyweight wrestler Tab Thacker, or that tiny moped that had to carry him back and forth from the College Inn to his classes every day, especially when pint-sized roommate Vince Bynum was riding on the handle bars. Let's go with the moped, since it never had the chance to avoid facing Thacker with a forfeit, as many heavyweights of his day did. Whether on the mats, in the movies or on campus, Talmadge Lane Thacker turned heads, right up until the day he died on Dec. 27, 2007. He was 45.
