Believe TnT as well as Alger and Chiapparelli trained there to some extent.
I knew I had read something about Hawks being there. Thank for attachingIowa-based wrestlers recall Dave Schultz and his killer
John Du Pont wrestled with his own demons and sank into an abyss that led to the murder of Dave Schultz, his closest confidante and two-time world champion, on Jan. 26, 1996.www.desmoinesregister.com
Confirmed.
I think this is an over simplification of what was going on there and the participants were hardly all Pennsylvanians. DuPont had serious mental health issues that almost everyone was willing to overlook or even manipulate in order to get the money and lifestyle they wanted. This includes the athletes, police, government officials, etc. I think even Dave believed that he could control or restrain the behaviors of DuPont in order to preserve what the wrestling program had going. DuPont should have been institutionalized decades prior to him murdering Schultz but often times his behavior was encouraged because people were benefitting from his money. Just a horribly sad situation. Mark Schultz’ book provides some incredible insight into DuPont that I hadn’t seen elsewhere. The entire story of him buying what was to be the new powerhouse wrestling program at Villanova was new to me, and even Mark admitted he let a lot slide because the money was too good until the behaviors became too much for him.
Dude was from Illinois, good try thoughFrom John Wayne Gacy to the 'I-65 Killer,' how these 11 serial killers are connected to Iowa
In 2022, the small town of Thurman, Iowa learned one of the most prolific serial killers in American history may have lived within their borders.www.desmoinesregister.com
See something say something!!!! I couldn’t agree more!
Maybe, but implying Dupont's mental illness or it not being addressed appropriately was because he was from/in Pennsylvania was sure to draw them over.
Come on, man. It takes exactly nothing to draw them over. They live on this board, and it’s pathetic.
Fair enough, but I quit feeding the squirrels if they are in my house.
We’re talking cockroaches. They’re in your house no matter what you do… until they’re no longer winning, at which point they mysteriously disappear.
Their team wins at recruiting and wins on the mat so much they get bored talking about it. Carl provides as much excitement a silent movie convention from a strictly coach interaction standpoint. So they have taken to picking at the peasants so to speak to keep themselves entertained. Manufacturing ways and things to pick at other schools especially us is definitely their thing.
When I was going there in the early 90’s the first thing I was told was don’t interact with DuPont. Stories of him asking wrestlers to scare off civil war ghosts and his bizarre demeanor were circulating but the guy was a free man, wealthy, and supporting wrestling. Being bizarre isn’t a crime and a lot of people chalked it up to eccentric and odd but okay.
Yeah, Steve Carrell was really good in that movie. I'm fairly certain it was called Foxcatcher. I watched it and thought it was really good.
Is it good? In terms of quality of work yes. Good acting, production. Is it enjoyable? IMO not really. It's a very dark movie, which is appropriate given the subject matter. I found it uncomfortable to watch.
Na, between holding Dan Chaid at gun point and removing him from his property, or sexual harassment toward Andre Metzger, he should have been locked up. His connection with the police department was wildly inappropriate. This is all not to mention how it ended. It should have been Waco v 2.0
i would just like to make clear that i am drawn here not by pennsylvania hate but because of the consistently worst takes in wrestling, obviously inaccurate information, and unending string of pessimism.
Considering that happens everywhere, how about at least acknowledging the consistently best takes that happen here, the obviously accurate information and the unending string of optimism.
honestly no idea. i asked at NCAA's and Koll said he is optimistic he stays and wrestles 174. but that's obviously not carved in stone. just passing along what i was told.
i won't dignify that with a response. you're a blowhard.
LMFAO. I am a blowhard, fake and asskisser huh? That is rich and patently false.
Wow -- what a breath of fresh air. If every PSU fan brought that respectful attitude, I'd happily engage. And I'll add that we had plenty of great interactions with PSU fans at Nationals, as we always do. Sadly, the anonymity of a message board often brings out the worst in people, and this board generally attracts the bottom of the PSU fan barrel. You can imagine how old it gets to see PSU fans coming here repeatedly to pound their chests, blow smoke, and add nothing constructive. Unfortunately, as you presumably know, that's the norm around here. You're definitely the exception to the rule, at least based on this post.
