I was going to pose the question but thought it’d be pointless anyway. I’m sure back in the day, you Iowa farm boys would have taken a lot less to wrestle for Gable instead of going elsewhere. Kids all over the country would have. I mean Cael isn’t exactly a God like Gable was but I’m guessing he gets his fair that just want to wrestle for even if it means paying more.

By strong arm what exactly do you mean? Does he send hitmen to the recruits house? Dies he threaten to break knee caps and skulls? I’m confused...
Who has he done this for? You’re sure if it so you must have someone in mind that said it’s why he chose PSU.
I know an assistent coach at SunnysidE HS in Tucson. More than that has no business on a forum.
You’re perpetually confused, yet we can’t seem to get rid of you.
Back when Gable was coaching, tuition was around $700/semester to $2000 when he retired. It was much more realistic to pay your own way for the opportunity wrestle for him. Current tuition rates make "walking on" a huge personal investment.
You get to wrestle for the best coach ever in Gable and and the best team ever and walk away with a degree so yeah it would be worth it to me!
Good question on the tank. With that said, on Saturday, wrestling Conel, he really didnt look like he wanted to be out there. Mental/emotional at that point, or still issues with weight that long after weigh ins?
My gut says it was the former.
Thank you!
1984 tuition rates:
$1242/yr in-state,
$3450/yr out-of-state
Vs. $50,000+/yr to go to PSU now......
If you avoid enough facts and detail, it's easy to gloss over the difference in what is happening at PSU today by citing false equivalencies and making unlikely assumptions about the personal cost of attending PSU over other top programs without receiving additional "support." But when you boil it down to hard numbers, we're being asked to believe that many kids are choosing to pull $125,000 out of their pockets (or their parents') by accepting half scholarships at PSU instead of full scholarships at other top programs. And they wonder why everyone else, and I do mean EVERYONE else, is so skeptical.....

Thanks for understanding the point I was making. A lot easier to wrestle where and for whom you wanted to back in the 80's and 90's
Hey DIPSTICK--BEAT IT! If you have no clue to which you speak, perhaps you'd be better to just zip your stupid ass lip. DO YOU COMPREHEND!
I totally agree with you. I'm really tired of Lumbeeped posting on our board more than any of us. What are the odds that he has no job and is posting from Grandmas basement all day.
The only thing positive toward PSU was graduation rate at 6 years.
Everything else leans Iowa. Pay after graduation really stood out, but also class size, smaller campus, cost, etc...
This post started about Murin. I am not that familiar about him, what should we expect out of him?
bbwretler is a tremendous ambassador for knowledge and facts inside Hawkeye wrestling. My respect for him is significant and he knows clearly what to or not to divulge regarding rhe Hawks. Frequent a practice and good chance you'll spot him. Just ask the Chief. Appreciate you bbwretler
Yea...he’s good people. We catch some practices and will be sitting at the Cup (along with my Pops). BB has seen a lot of dudes roll through the DG complex.
Hope to meet and greet you there Chief. BB has nothing but complimentary remarks for you. I'll have to confirm that in person.
I spoke with one of the coaches and the team camp for the U.S. Open is 12-15 April. I think they will have visitors there so we can see what's what...so maybe we can meet at the room that week.
Strong arm as in, "Hey kid, here's our offer, cancel all your other visits or the offer is off the table". I think this is what was discussed awhile back.
I try to stay out of these debates, but to answer your question -- we're "figuring it out and doing something" right now. You can't grow a great mullet in a day. We'll get there. Lots of work going on as we speak.
No question we are getting better that wasn't my point. I was just trying to get across quit blaming PSU because of a few years of bad recruiting, we are turning it around not as fast as some may like but we will get there.
Some folks are saying Adam will grow to a 41 or 49....although I'm sure there's a lot of guesswork on those projections.
Unacceptable, WWDM...we want the mullet NOW!!
Just a reminder -- wrestling is a sport where individual fans CAN make a difference. Iowa fans can pitch in to support the HWC, which is helping to fuel the resurgence of Iowa wrestling. The next thing we can all do is pack the Des Moines Marriott on April 14 for the inaugural Des Moines HWC banquet. Lots of things we can do as fans to help the cause. If you're wondering what you can do, drop me an email at kurdelmeierrocks@gmail.com. We'll find a way for you, yourself, to make a difference.
And I know I speak for a lot of avid Iowa wrestling fans when I say it's a lot of f***. We're having a blast and helping to put the Hawks back on top at the same time. There's always room on the bandwagon, and the next team title will be extra f*** for those who have rolled up their sleeves and helped out! (Not talking just to you, Hunter, but to all Iowa fans)
They come to Penn State to become national champions and win team titles....that's what we do
They come to Penn State to become national champions and win team titles....TWWD
FIFY
Agreed on both points.
A full HWC is huge for our guys, so says our 27 point man this year.
Hunter78, I saw the great HST at Iowa around this time. Thought it was 77, but maybe '78. Last year, got to hear some great stories from Eddie P at the Wig and his adventures with HST.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
2 of my favorite quotes from HST
You got something against Farm Boys or just trying to be funny?
I know people like that. Hit men don't go to houses. They just sit back and wait. They have respect for the person's family.
I didn't take it as a insult I guess maybe that was how it was meant but this country was established on FarmBoys shoulders.
