Sounds unhygienic to me.I for one hope they don’t clean the dirt and dust off the mats. Wrestling is like golf, improvement is found in the dirt.
What high school was that?Nostalgic flashback (circa 1974) to rolling out our 3-piece mat in the basement of the library next to our tiny HS, just outside Pittsburgh.
Your new place rocks, outside windows be damned. Human nature what it is, if a recruit deems all other factors (coaching, opportunity, education, NIL, etc..) to be equal, can’t see them not letting a brand new facility tip the scale. Congrats.
YesLove the black and gold! Wish those were Pitt’s colors. What’s the lettering above the logo on the wall? Bob and Kathy Nicolls?
Can he make 157? Maybe with the hand cut off?This just in, Darth Vader took one look at the new facility and signed his NLI on the spot.
Is it this archaic attitude that has drive us to mediocracy? My god change with the times and the kids you are recruiting.I for one hope they don’t clean the dirt and dust off the mats. Wrestling is like golf, improvement is found in the dirt.
*ResoliteWouldn’t windows age the rubber of the mats faster?
Just another reminder of how the non-wrestling world has NO idea about what wrestling is or what it looks like, lol. We got couples figure skating on one mat, swing dancing on another, and two dudes taking a dump in the back.Here is a rendering of what it would look like facing the opposite direction:
Swissvale High . . . no longer its own school district, long since part of Woodland Hills.What high school was that?
Cool. I remember Swissvale. I'm from Pgh. too. Followed Spencer here and have just been hanging around ever since.Swissvale High . . . no longer its own school district, long since part of Woodland Hills.
I wonder if they really will half posters like of Metcalf and Lee up there.Here is a rendering of what it would look like facing the opposite direction:

I'm out in Penn Township now, just up the hill from Murrysville. Oh, yeah, I followed Spencer when he was there . . . and at Iowa . . . and hopefully now on the Olympic team. I really think he can win gold.Cool. I remember Swissvale. I'm from Pgh. too. Followed Spencer here and have just been hanging around ever since.
Hope it has decorative curtains as well…https://www.instagram.com/p/C5RBvVHu6ts/?igsh=MXY1M2xybzZsMDhtaA==
Guys…. GUYS….
please tell me I’m wrong. Please tell me this isn’t real. Did we really just spend $30 MILLION on a gottam warehouse?!
No windows?! Our new, state of the art facility is a part of the prison industrial complex?!
Before I say bad things - did I miss them?!
Of this there is no doubt. Cael is strategic. "Let's first see what they build then we will know exactly what to build to outdo them."Looks pretty dope.
Give it a couple years and I'm sure our friends out east will make something better.
I heard a rumor that the mats may have the capability of being rolled up, or folded. Who knowsThe only thing that surprises me is that the mats are down already. As a former wrestling coach all I’d be thinking about is a bunch of careless workers walking all over or spilling stuff on my brand new mats.
LOL, will be a very long time before anything can match this!!! You would be looking at $50 Million or so for a college Wrestling facility!!!Of this there is no doubt. Cael is strategic. "Let's first see what they build then we will know exactly what to build to outdo them."
Chump change for the fat man!LOL, will be a very long time before anything can match this!!! You would be looking at $50 Million or so for a college Wrestling facility!!!
And it’s black and gold…..so awesome that they made the mats Beau Bassets favorite colors……he will def be a hawkYou have to be some kind of dumb turkey to not be blown away by this. The place is MASSIVE, as far as what it needs? The STATE OF THE ART stuff. Those are NOT F-in windows!!!!
It needs PRE-hab, RE-hap, and other STATE of the ART TRAINING TOOLS!!!!! That is what I have not seen. I would also like to see more of the weight room. I will be able to tell you if they have anyone with a CLUE very quickly!!!!
