    I agree he deserves respect. See my other replies below though. I agree with everything you said, somewhat. I knew that I would ruffle some feathers with that comment, but I did say arguably. I agree that Gallagher and Roderick might not (probably wouldn't) have faired so well in this era...

    That will probably just make them relevant again. You have to respect what JS did as a wrestler, but he is arguably the worst coach in their history. Only five titles in 30 years. Tommy Chesbro didn't win that many, but had better avg. finishes and wasn't there nearly as long.

    The coaching change maybe would bring in more of those top guys. If Tom really does stubbornly refuse to cater to them, that could be part of the problem. Also, the name recognition thing could be a big factor. Sure, the Brands have good credentials, but their competitive career ended before any...

    57KG Olympic Trials!!! WOW

    Richards is not a World or Olympic medalist. You have to be that, not just the current Team USA representative to get a free path to the finals. What is everyone basing these predictions on? I'm pretty sure the bracket above is just a guess. I don't think seeds are out yet. I'll wait to see the...

    Last Chance Open

    He's a 3 seed as well. OP left him off his list.

    Gambling ?

    Tell that to the gambling guys. I just read it, been watching women's BB (but not betting). Took me a half a second when I saw who posted it.

    Loyalist or Revolutionist?

    Good point, but exactly my point. We don't get to make the decision because we don't know the options or have all the facts. All this poll does is tell us the number of adversaries we have. But we still don't make this decision, no matter what knowledge we might acquire. It might be a fun poll...

    Loyalist or Revolutionist?

    I would have to draw the line at being called a Minnesota fan. At least Indiana fans deserve some pity.

    Loyalist or Revolutionist?

    So far my post has gotten more responses than your poll.

    Loyalist or Revolutionist?

    What about an Undecided box (bubble)? Some of us want a plan in place and a commitment from his successor before we decide that. I want to know who we're bringing in, and what kind of changes he's implementing fo catch PSU. Change needs to happen, but it must be good change. Change just to be...

    Ragusin is probably more like 25 or so, but otherwise good point.

    What I learned at NCAAs this weekend

    I didn't say they weren't. I asked why, if they were, are they the minority on PSU's roster? I could go on at great length about the best wrestling states, but I don't have the time or energy today. The money came WHEN Bael came (largely to get him there), not after. Maybe Ira waited until he...

    Why is 2/3 or more of his line-up consistently from other states if PA kids are so great? I've never heard Brands say we won in 2020. I didn't think they had the maturity needed when they came (I know they didn't come here at the same time) but I think Tom has matured some. He's done some...

    If that's sarcasm put a ;) or two behind it.

    What I learned at NCAAs this weekend

    Iowa has become what Oklahoma State has been to us since the 1980s. A bunch of people living on the memories of what we were 30 years ago. And we're quickly becoming the 2004-2006 Hawkeye teams that were in a rapid downhill slide because our coach wouldn't listen, and wanted to do it his way. I...

    What I learned at NCAAs this weekend

    I don't think he buys championships...well, not completely, but he does have an assistant that makes him look better than he is. That's who we should be throwing money at to save our program, but he doesn't have the name recognition of Bael or DT, so that might not work either. He might not be...

    Fb Iowa wrestling groups

    There are a lot of people in those groups who know nothing about Iowa wrestling, or its history. Quite a few know nothing about wrestling in general. They just know that Iowa wrestling is a Top 5 program, Something Iowa Football, or Men's Basketball will never be. They don't realize that 2nd...

    What I learned at NCAAs this weekend

    Apples to Oranges. Everyone loses wrestlers to graduation. Granted, the "gamblers" did it to themselves, but no one else lost three (or more) guys that would have been starters THIS YEAR. Not making excuses, just stating facts. We also might not have had one of our best wrestlers if that hadn't...

    '97 Hawkeyes vs '24 Nits Head to Head

    I never said one word about asterisks. I never mentioned points at all. My statement was that great athletes are great athletes, no matter the era. If you gave Jim Thorpe the advantages of 2024 training techniques, I firmly believe he be as dominant today as he was in the 1930s. Certain skills...
