Yep, been to lots of practices every year. Follow the Hawks to Midlands every year when they went, to B!G's and NCAA's every year and to most of the tournaments that they and the backups go to every year . Yep, football fan.
Carr over O'Toole 7-2
- Thread starter SittingSwitch
- Start date
Shhhh, the know it alls that actually don't know shit won't like that you want us to be better.....
165 is stacked no doubt, but it’s not in the realm of the 2008 149lb bracket. Burroughs was 3rd. Let that sink in. Dustin Schlatter beat Lance Palmer…..for 7th. Metcalf was on another planet.

Morningstar, Zadick, move Terry to the HWC. Whatever it took. Will it be ok if Spencer ends up somewhere else? Brent was easily the best Hawk that Tom has coached before Spencer. Honest question, why do we need Tom, Terry, and Dennis our HWC coach all at 134 or under during their careers on the same staff? It's idiotic.
M* credit for the offense that Chittum will bring? So, the #1 overall recruit will get his offense from a guy that took a couple shots a match during his career? Lol, please, just stop.
Metcalf was a great Hawk but he wouldn't be top 30 in coaches I would hire. From an outside fans perspective I understand not being able to comprehend that, but anyone close to the program knows M* is 10 times the coach and recruiter. And I won't go into details why because I don't want to go negative on Metcalf, although there's a pretty decent list why I hope he never comes back. I will always love him as a Hawkeye wrestler though.
You're giving Metcalf and DSJ credit for Carr while ignoring the facts that the majority of their wrestlers have been horrible at ISU. You blame M* for any of our guys who don't get after it, but won't give him credit for Bull, Kemdawg, Cobe, Kennedy, etc. All of whom are more exciting to watch than anyone Metcalf and DSJ have coached(besides Carr).. You change the goal posts and accuse those who disagree as not wanting to get better which is laughable. Trust me I hate the pedders being #1 this year as much or more than anyone. I 100% believe we have the chemistry and right coaches to knock them to #2 in the near future. I'm 100% certain that Metcalf and DSJ aren't the answer.
Not all great wrestlers make great coaches.
And there's a lot of great coaches that weren't elite wrestlers.
I don't understand this fascination with DSJ and Metcalf as coaches. I suspect one of the reasons they are with Dresser is because KD is obsessed with Iowa and he thought hiring them was a "dig" at TnT.
Jeez facundo lost 4-2 to carr and riding time tie breaker to Kennedy, is it possible for a penn st wrestler to get better in March and revenge a loss ,only time will tell. Ps is 7 national Champs out of the question for the good guys hmmm?
David Carr was an elite talent before they coached him for a minute. So…please. Lol
If they are so great at coaching why is ISU so bad at the weights directly above and below him?
I don't recall anyone calling DSJ an attack hammer at Iowa. I do recall a lot of frustration that he wasn’t offensive enough.
Such a classic rant from you. Shape “facts” to fit a narrative.
You go to lots of practices every year? Must’ve missed you every time. I also think you’d know who @acuhawk is and why his knowledge is more than most
Football fans gonna football fan.
Checks out except for the part that DSJ and zadick were at Va Tech with dresser. So he brought his staff minus one
You have got to be kidding me, Carr was great before these guys got him and Mr. Carr is a world beater, he may have a bit to do with his success also. Im not saying having them did not help, but your argument does not hold water.
You don't think Dresser had visions of returning to Midwest/B1G?
Really, I thought he'd end up at Illinois or Minnesota.
The "Orange" crap clarified his obsession.
Metcalf was one of my favorite Hawks, but an argument up and down the top 8 could be made, time will tell. JB really did not start peaking till the next few years.
I know he was very happy out east; wife is from there and kids all born out there. He'd been out there for 20+ years by then.
But when Pollard threw those numbers at him, that was tough to beat.
Revenge is a dish best served…ah forget it. They just might avenge a loss though. Facundo, however, isn’t revenging or avenging anything.
I don’t really have a dog in this fight, but it wouldn’t be possible to sound more like a hypocrite than you just did.
I am fairly confident that I have watched Alex wrestle a shit ton more than you. His wrestling close, but still losing, would be the LAST example I would use for him to beat anyone. His style has always promoted close, low scoring matches against top competition.
Now, if you start seeing him scoring against top guys early in matches, THAT is what you should point to as him getting over the top against the top half dozen or so guys…
It’s hilarious, right? Gives Dsjcalf credit for Carr but would never give an Iowa coach credit for Chittum.
L. O. L.
carr over o'toole and pst boys are talking how many champs they will have, insecure much
I don’t know what the right answer is but right now our starters from 149 to 197, minus PK are pure grinders…going for that one point victory. We don’t need that mentality in the room IMO. We need action hammers like Kem, etc., at the middle and heavy weights who can teach and drill ways to score points. We’ve got the hand fighting down pat. That’s how we’re going to beat Cael’s boys at natty’s…by scoring points. Again I don’t know what the right answer is but us working for one-point wins against the top 30 guys won’t cut it. We need some body/bodies to come in and do some tweaking. Our lighter weights have been stellar but after that things get a little shaky at several weights. We need hammers who can work with our 149ers and up, even if we have to spend some money. We don’t need clones who excel at hand fighting…we’re good there. Not judging just sharing my opinion.
The answer is clear: landing top 10 P4P guys. And one big key to landing top 10 P4P guys is $, which means endowing the HWC.
The Inner Circle has been a huge boost to the HWC’s daily operations, but the endowment will be what finally levels the playing field. The more Hawk fans pitch in to the HWC endowment, the quicker that happens.
Nobody likes asking for $, but that’s clearly the answer, and every Hawk fan can make an impact. If anyone is looking for a way to help the cause, that’s it.

I think you forgot Jayden. One of the best guys to roll with.

You do realize that Chit and Arnold walk in next year to take two of those spots. As I mentioned above, believe there will be a Woods level transfer too.........just from history.
Our coaches and the guys who are in HWC, and teammates will sharpen their iron
Gobbs thinks not, I think he does unless he can make 149 and beat all comers. We shall see
I fully expect Chittum to be 149 and Cobe to be 157 next year
He has been competing at 70kg so I was thinking Chittum steps right in at 149 next season, After that We’ll see if he can maintain 149 or he has to move up.
Carr is in his 4th year with Metcalf and StJohn and Chittum just started at Iowa but other than that your dumbass post makes sense.
You’ve already laid it out. Metcalf and DSJ did great developing Carr but anything Chittum does is because he was already good.
Just like he said…hypocrite.
Dude let it go already, they are great coaches and D. Carr sucked before he got there Okay!
Based on this post, it’s obvious you don’t own a mirror. Quite humorous…thanks for the laugh.
I said next year for Chittum which would be his 2nd year under M*. Your guys wouldn't be coaching Carr without the bag of cash thrown at his Dad. You want to list the results of guys they actually recruited and coached? Didn't think so. You calling anyone a dumbass in this particular conversation is priceless. Finally, you are also wrong saying TnT don't wrestle live. I watched Terry do some live goes with Spencer 2 weeks ago. You doubling down makes me think you're a closet clown or psu fan.
