WE FIRED ZELESKY FOR LESS....

[bawlmerhawk]

For the record, we qualified 9. 8 were seeded. The only two who didn't wrestle to seed were Stoll who got hurt and Brooks who was over seeded but still a disappointment. The other 6 guys were at or above seed.

Thanks, I didn't watch it this year. Still gotta put in my 2¢ though.

I saw Cornell wrestle three duals this year. They lost to Rutgers, Nebraska and Oklahoma State (and, btw, lost to Lehigh at home). Beyond Garrett (gone), Dean (one more year) and Palacio, there wasn't much there. I think they won three matches at each of those duals. They have some nice recruits lined up, but I don't know if they can fill in enough of their many holes to be a factor in the near future.

PS - Forgot Realbuto.

If you want another name to try and blast to shreds, how about Zeke Jones? Might be strategically advantageous, as he might bring some of his outstanding recruits from ASU with him...?

Ah, the infamous two recruiting classes!

Hopefully this happens before he turns us into ISU. I know one thing though, the days of putting 40k asses into Kinnick are over. Iowa fans are smart and know when they're being duped.

This is the bad attitude we need to worry about. We won't turn into ISU if we keep a better attitude and keep putting our asses into those seats.

I am assuming that this time of year is like January at the health club. Jan 1st comes around and there is an onslaught of new years resolutionists that will hang for a while until they figure out that the grind of working out can suck. How long until the boards normalize again and get back to normal? It seems like the overall IQ of the board dropped 20-30 points in the last few days.

What could we offer Cael that he doesn't already have at PSU? Sorry, but absolutely nothing. Cael is doing to PSU wrestling what Joe Pa did to PSU football. Can't believe I said that.

Can't believe you said that either. Does this mean he's hired another Sandusky?
Don't think so. Bad comparison IMO.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Problem is that the talent is working hard.

Time to bring the talent in.

This thread is pretty sad. It makes Iowa Wrestling fans sound like a bunch of Nebraska football fans.

You think Sanderson would just stay at Penn State

Absolutely he would. It's hard to understand how you don't.

The Gable years were great but threads like this help to prove they caused some people to under-appreciate how difficult it is to build and maintain a competitive team.

Tom needs to come on HR and apologize to all the cry babies and find out where they live for a meet and greet. Then show up with Terry and kick some a##, afterwards send them home to mommy for a diaper change!
