    Killing a program

    There was no shaming. Just the definition of what a Division 1 athlete is in an elite program. That is the truth. In order to be the best with the level of competitiveness. Division 1 wrestlers dedicate their whole life to get to the next level. You are simply not going to get to the Olympics or...

    Killing a program

    I would never comment on anything public unless I had experience. That would make me ignorant and a hypocrite.

    I do. Should I start the petition?

    Killing a program

    That is a simplistic answer. Did you wrestle at a National level or world team level? You may want to study the accolades of a Penn State wrestler or any other college for that matter. You could never make it through a practice at a ROTC in HS if you are not disciplined. It is not physically...

    Killing a program

    Again with the wrestlers not putting in the discipline.

Not sure which rock you crawled out from under but only the top 15% of HS students in the...

    Killing a program

    If you really are a fan and want to advocate for the school, do your due diligence. Ask the athletes. They know. They are all Division 1. They know the attributes a coach needs to have to be a part of a successful team. Ask the athletes if they want John to remain as their coach? After all, they...

    Reason for optimism

    John is the problem. Do yourself a favor and talk to one of his athletes before you post something so irrelevant. These are people’s lively hoods. You can’t crucify the people who actually get down and dirty working and praise the one who walks around like they are an asset to a program by...

    Reason for optimism

    Sad to see so many people with great intentions of pouring money into a program and being **** on and they don’t even know it. More damage control. So obvious. Clever in a different name. Cael not only knows his wrestlers inside and out so he is aware if it is happening; he educates them on...

    Reason for optimism

    Damage control at its finest. Screams desperation in that strategic post. Someone is now trying to do their job? How about facts instead of speculation. Simple. NCAA compliance and/or OSU (somebody/anybody) monitor the room. One night at the bar before a competition or match will give you clear...
