I have made a limited amount of posts on this board and in them I have shown great respect for Iowa wrestling and its history, calling it the gold standard. If that is not enough to stay I will indeed move on and let you wallow in your self pity.
Umm, this sucks...

No one is being a schmuck. No one is rubbing it in anyone's face.
There's an easy solution. I haven't seen one post from a PSU troll in this thread. The ignore button is there for a reason. We all use it, they go away.
I, for one, am leaving. As I just said, I have posted respectfully, honoring Iowa and its tradition. That is apparently not good enough. So be it. Good luck to Iowa.
Of course we have the internet now if all of this access was prevalent in the 70s 80s and 90s I am sure other teams would have felt the same way. Plenty of crowing would have been going on the too. Listen these things come in cycles.
This is bad for the sport. Stacking all the best can't miss recruits on one team is by no means good for the sport. It does not help smaller teams in succeeding or keeping their program. It does not help grow the sport. Taking the guys who would win on any team for championships does not make you the best coaches. Id never say PSU doesnt have great coaches because they defintetly do. But its far more difficult to take some guy you never of heard great than someone who is a top 5 overall recruit.
People will compare them to the Patriots or Alabama. But it's not the same thing. Those are team sports. If one person doesnt do their part you will not execute the play or game plan. The Patriots take guys you never heard of great. In wrestling it's you vs another person. There is no other person your counting on but yourself. Im a PA supporter and root for anything Pa. But it's definitely not good for the sport.

Teasdale would have had all the "tests" he wanted at Iowa...that's just stupid. Also, one of the things he cited about Iowa was the family atmosphere and the fun they had.
I heard Brody Teske was getting recruited hard before this...don't know how shocked they were.
[QUOTE="ggcpsu, post: 4215762, member: 69069]They come to psu, see they can get great grades in hard majors with the #1 alumni network in America...[/QUOTE]
Lol at this PSU brochure tripe. There is literally no distinction between Iowa and PSU as schools. None.

Bravo Young gonna flip and join his boy Steveson at Minny now... Like sands through the hour glass... I'm too old for this kiddy bullshit.
What do penn st fans get out of our board, don,t they have their own?
I started wondering when I seen on his twitter that he was talking about Joseph and Nolf being champs, but not Clark
Maybe this makes room for Teske and/or Thomsen?

That's just not true. PSU grads rank #1 among Fortune 500 companies of what grads they most want to hire. It's the largest alumni association in the world and is ranked as the best. It has the largest career fair of any school east of Texas, and is ranked higher than Iowa by every major publication. Iowa is a fine school but let's not act like they're equal.
But they aren't the p4p guys you need to win a title. Maybe we just need to accept being a top 5-10 program from now on.
The flipping or being old??
The what happens if Teasdale flips. RBY not a big guy either.
I didn't go to either school, so I have no dog in this fight, but trust me when I say the differences between perceptions of the two schools are minimal if that.
If all these insults against PSU piss you off....THEN GET OFF THIS BOARD !! who wants to hear your petty crap about how you INVENTED wrestling since Cael made it fun?? State is on a roll and lots of young immature kids want to be part of that momentum....but eventually like everything else someone will figure out that with all of this success will come problems. ...paying for all these kids to wrestle will be a headache and if they get TOO CREATIVE the pinheads at the NCAA will figure something out or catch up with a way to get more money out of the sport...or simply the wrestlers will find they are not a big fish in a small ocean anymore...and some of these kids that switch commitments will always be looking for the glory. good luck and get after it but dont come here and gloat...most likely you have never stepped on the mat like most of the chumps i encounter at PSU matches...where were you all when Troy was the coach or Before that??... winning opens up a lot of seats on the band wagon fellas.
Good point. It doesnt matter if they have 12 top tens they can only put ten out there.
Young and immature? Thomas Gilman just left your program as a senior being mocked till the end for being classless. Come on
Better get off your high horse before someone here exercises the nuclear option.....
Rubbing some salt i see. You seemed to know this was true weeks ago. Must have been tough to hold your tongue.
Iowa wrestling fans just got nut punched and before they can even get up off the ground, Penn State fans are over here getting defensive about gut reactions by Iowa fans. Whatever the conspiracy theories, responding to at this time is trolling and really isn't needed.
He finished the quote with winning is fun dip stick.
I would love to get both of them. Now that would take me off of the ledge. Silva is a future national champ and imo better than Teasdale. Let's get them.
