Why are there so many PSU fans posting negatively on this forum?

Putting 21 Guns on "ignore" is a solid start.

His elevator skips several floors.

Zero "likes", what's the matter? Your little clique hasn't shown up to back you up? Leave you alone on HR where you need to handle your business all by yourself? LMAO.
 
21 guns can be somewhat zealous but I do believe he's a big wrestling fan and fairly knowledgeable about wrestling . He can be strident but he seems to be pretty polite here.
It seems some are holding grudges against him due to past arguments not this current topic .

Thank you amigo. Iowa is the gold standard of wrestling, and always will be. At every National's I've been to, the Iowa people are great. True wrestling fans and love the sport.

There is a little clique, unfortunately, that has taken over McAndrew's board, with his consent, even more unfortunately. Before that happened, it was a great board with free flowing discourse on the great sport of wrestling. As soon as that board regains it's balance and freedom, it will once again be a good board for wrestling. The ones holding the grudges, are a tiny percentage of the overall board, but since they all pile on, it seems like more than it really is. Lots of excellent posters on BWI, like Cowbell Man, who I have had conversations with, and knows wrestling very well, and a few others.

The clique, right now, has taken over there. Won't be forever.
 
I've never once come here to gloat or rub in any success that Penn State has had, but this kind of stuff is ridiculous and it is going to get called out when it gets continually repeated, so maybe you should get over it.

You were posting here 5 seconds after the Teasdale announcement, but I'm sure your intentions were noble and not to troll, and coming over here and calling someone out and telling them to get over it makes me think that you don't realize where you are.

I love it when fans of other schools get on here and add input but Penn State fans (not all but many) have been flooding this board with garbage for awhile now and that is something you don't see Iowa fans doing over on BWI. Not a good look on your team's part.

I've seen you go overboard imo , but I do agree that's part of the clique stuff . But I do believe you love this sport and are a big psu fan. And you respect Iowa.
I'm a huge fan of Dan Gable. There will never be another one because he was the first. It's like Babe Ruth retiring and starting coaching and winning the most championships of any manager in MLB history .
Sanderson can get to were he is a fair comparison to Gable, but Dan was their first. JMO.

Tell you the truth, I wait for the season to see how things are going and my interest goes up closer to the ncaas. And my interest is up because of penn state's success. I do love the sport but I'm much more of a novice fan than most here.

Right now you have penn state having great success . Iowa in wrestling is like the Yankees in baseball . They have the most storied history in the sport. PSU imo is maybe more like the Patriots, most of their success is recent , occurring in the last seven years.

That leads to two passionate fans based that will butt heads. I'm okay with that , but Id personally try to get along .

I love Gable. Always have, always will. Since I wasn't a Hawk fan PER SE, I also loved Iowa State as a kid. My wrestling idol is the Gentle Giant, the late, and truly great Chris Taylor. I went up to Chris as a child and got an autograph, and he was as kind and gracious off the mat as could be, with that giant robe, and the "I" cyclone logo. When Chris passed away, I cried.
 
Digger...21...chill boys.

BTW...Gilman wrestled like crap in a match, kudos to Cruz. Gilman credited him for knocking him off his game...especially his strength. But then Gilman took it to Dance the next round the Picc again. Gilman had those type of matches once or twice a season.

Guns you should never take sides against the family.

Lately there seems to be a very high number of PSU fans (definitely more than any other college wrestling program) who are posting on this board, and not in a sportsmanship way.

There are a few PSU fans who I'm happy to have around to discuss the sport of wrestling (the user PennState1985 or something like that?)

It never made any sense to me to sh*t talk on any opposing team's message board.

I would say the exact same thing for any Iowa fan who goes over to the PSU forum, and trash talks. It's unnecessary, especially in the sport of wrestling...

This isn't the NFL with massive fanbases, and professional players making millions of dollars. This is college wrestling. It's quite frankly f*cking weird for adult men to be bickering back and forth on a forum discussing petty shit about each other's fan base, or creating "drama". I don't read the PSU forum, so I hope that Hawkeye fans do not do that shit, although I imagine there are several who do.

If you're going to post on an opposing teams board, at least be respectful. I think friendly trash talk is a good thing, but we're approaching a state where it's unhealthy and a negative environment for both fanbases. I'm sure it plays an effect for recruiting as well. (I'm not referencing Teasdale, just speaking in general).

For PSU fans who post here - you just won nationals with 5 individual champs. You are currently experiencing a dynasty. Why focus so much energy and attention on belittling another team? Enjoy what you guys have going.

For Hawkeye fans - don't go to the PSU boards and shit talk or bad mouth their wrestlers or coaches or fanbase. If you are going to complain about PSU, at least do it on your own board.

I know message boards and the internet in general often bring out the worst in people due to anonymity and the remote disconnection between people in the conversation. Let's just try to keep the quality of wrestling forums and wrestling discussion a little bit higher than the rest of the internet. Just a friendly reminder to be respectful and don't feed the trolls. =)

Do you read themat forums? This place looks downright civil by comparison.

I sat next to an older fella at ncaa a couple of years ago, a real gentleman. I suspect most psu fans are decent. There are some great ones here.

Unfortunately there are a handful of immature psu posters who genuinely seem to make it their mission to teardown Iowa wrestling and Iowa in general. I'm not a shrink, but i wonder if they have other issues going on in their lives.

It's like a horror movie...they think the main monster (Iowa) is dead after being shot multiple times and falling into the lake but since there is no body, they have to convince themselves.

Correct, but he did not "fade" Chief. He lost on a tactical decsion. He makes Cruz engage, he handles him easily, in my viewpoint.
 
I think Guns and Elvis are in love....we need more love on these boards.

And after 9 total posts, you're trying to join the little clique. Guess what, they don't give a crap about you EITHER. You're an Edinboro fan.

Maybe it is just me but there was on score in the first period 3 mins of wrestling. Than Gilman rode him for all the 2nd period. Know it is hindsight but If I was the coach I have take down if can't get away its overtime I mean jesss couldn't get a td in 3 mins just saying...............

And they give a crap about you? Where? I tried to have an open mind, but you blew that.

You are a phony and a fake who tried to pile on. That's all you ever were, and all you are, and nobody gives a crap about you. Not me, and not the clique either.

If you had any sack what so ever, you would have engaged in a wrestling discussion with me, WITHOUT trying to judge, based on what 7 or 8, middle aged bullies with beer bellies, gang up to say, on a MESSAGE BOARD. You would have sent a pm(Like Chief and I did, like Amalone and I did, etc) and gotten to know me, and then you wouldn't have tried to pile on.

You don't know a thing about me, you are trying to fit in like a kid, so you pile on.
