Boston was 199-1 and won Flonationals...was #1 for awhile. He just got pisspounded by Gross who is in his same year.
ISU vs SDSU
- Thread starter Azchief32
- Start date
He is on the coaching staff at Virginia Tech along with the best beard in college wrestling.
Worst loss in ISU history? I know they lost to Old Dominion, Boston and Army a couple of years ago.. I kinda remember those being close duals. This was a beat down.
Wrong again bucko...He is on staff at UNC. You'll know him by his stare.
Looked alright to me. Hesitated to shoot but was always up in Rod-Spence's grill. Rode the crap out of him at the end.
Now some might say, welp...ISU had some backups. However, the aggressors the whole night, whether they won or lost, were SDSU. Plus, they've continued the trend of giving up points at the end of the periods.
And is dad is on CF claiming he was giving up 20 lbs. I'm no mathematician but 197 - 20 = 177. Downey must be going down to 174! Hodge, here he comes!
Not quite that high, but highly rated. He did have a huge 5-3 win tonight over a kid from Iowa that didn't place at state his senior year of HS.
I am an SDSU wrestling alum and have season tickets on the mat right next to the visiting coaches. KJ was cussing most of the dual. Also very unimpressed with liveliness of the coaching bench in general. The whole "team" was VERY flat. Largest attendance in SDSU wrestling history and the crowd was great!
Overall? I didn't think he was that high since he didn't do much freestyle or GR but I might also be wrong about that.
Sounds like Bono is bringing excitement to SDSU. That's awesome.
Like his energy. Reminds me of Brands sometimes.

Easy on the Clones. Kj just needs to get HIS recruits on the mat!Mitch L while watching a possible upset of the Clones:
Oh boy! I actually forgot ISU wrestled because this would have been too good to miss.
Couple of things you need to remember... 1. this team will peak in March 2. KJ recruiting is awesome 3. Meeks is really impressive in the practice room 4. the 157 is actually training for MMA 5. no other team in the country has injuries like ISU 6. ISU is the minor league team for GV 7. out of the total fan base of 14 people, only 6 made it to this dual. 8. the refs don't like Cyclones and 9. the emphasis is the Iowa dual.

I was just being my usual smart-ass self. That's a reference to how ISU fans like to say Carl left the cupboards bare and it was going to take 4-5 years to get KJ's team back to competing. Said after four years we'd know Jackson's coaching ability. Welp. guess we all know it now.
Finding things to criticize about ISU wrestling can be compared to shooting fish in a barrel. Gonna be a fun year.

Meeks was 4x IA state champion, who never lost in instate competition. He didn't wrestle that much out of state. He was ranked #5 in the recruit list by d1 college wrestling (Earl's), but that list did not include underclassman, and overall, he was ranked behind Ben Whiteford of Michigan in the final Intermat ranking at 138#. Not sure if he wrestled Fargo after his Sr year, but after his Jr year, he placed 6th.

NDSU beats ISU 24-16. KJ burns Colbray'a RS to wrestle him at HWT...where he gets stuck.
I'm sure they will be better once they get a full lineup but KJ is just not a capable HC.
Well, to be fair...ISU is a basketball school according to their fans as evidenced by their multiple Final Four appearances. Oh, wait
