you can bash there intelligence but they still won 6 big ten and 4 ncaa championships were the favorite for a 5th until a global pandemic cancelled it Zalesky won 3 big ten and Ncaa tittles what im trying to say is after Cael retires you never know what's gonna happen im sure they'll hire a great coach.but 30 years ago or 20 years ago those were slam dunk hires for iowa
Heck with the Chinese - I think Cael released the virus just to block Iowa!

As a Penn State fan, my goal is to win so much that everyone else quits. Seriously. That's the goal. The constant bitching and moaning about Penn State's success means you all must be dominated to the point of tapping out.
Enjoy the ride…we did during our time. The DT train is coming at which point it’s going to at least be competitive which will be good for the sport. Hopefully we’ll be competitive in the next 3-5 years…TBD. All of that said, it’s good to see all of these mega-talented kids coming out of high school…also great for the sport.

I say this with a complete straight face. Of course, as a lifelong PSU fan, I am enjoying the domination. However, I do miss the more competitive days and welcome those in the future. Seeing Bo Nickal get a pin to clinch the team title, Quentin Wright beating Kilgore to win the championship, and not make the Dake/Taylor result decide it (Thankfully for us), rather than having things wrapped up on Friday night. I'm not sure if I'm in the minority on that opinion or not.

I will tell you what, I will say this VERY clearly, and I will BET the FARM on it!!!! Those POS over in Low LYING swamp valley led by Krailure are 100% taking SH*T!!!

I have never seen so many on one team with that "spaced out look" in my life!!! The Horses *** at 184 who got GIFTED a title!!! Came off the mat eyes all glassy!?!?!? SHOW me another wrestler like this????? Watching MessyIdiot and listening TWOOOO him, even my wife said what is wrong with him???? Another person suggested, he is defiantly on the spectrum!!!

HAINES, DUKE, BARR again, very STRANGE they way they look, act, and talk!!! My guess is, the wrestlers who leave, are the ones not willing to go down that path!!! Why is it ALL who have left do not look and act like the F*** st wrestlers???? Several were there for a year or more??? Kind of odd no?

the POS ncaa has to step in and get LISTS of ALL MEDs that EVERYONE on ALL teams are taking. DOCTOR prescribe or not, I guess there is some kind of horse sheet laws you would need to navigate, but WHEN you see F*** state with a dozen or more kids taking what Babblin was on!!! RED FLAGS will go up!!!

Coaches, also should have to sign off on it so WHEN they get caught, they get REMOVED with a LIFT TIME BAN!!!

That being said, I was impressed with several of their wrestlers mostly BARR. He is one of the ones whose performance does not quite add up? but the kid can flat out wrestle and does some HIGH end stuff especially getting out of scramble situations. I would recommend COACHES, WRESTLERS watch the way he moves when stuck in a scramble. How he clears his legs etc.... REALLY good stuff!!!

Will be VERY interesting to see what the KRAILURE pulls next season? The Heavy I will bet will miraculously GAIN a lot of weight, his brother has to be a horses *** if he plans on sitting the bench his entire career? One of their fans made the comment when I said, we should steal the heavy and make him our 197? He said(might be Disc 4?) the brother is a better 197????

They also have at least a handful of guys with no where to wrestle? Lets once AGAIN have some D-WAD wanna bee tell us how, "they just wanna be on the team with HGH Krailure and sit on the bench and watch because it is SOOOO gr8 and all!?!?!?"

POS ncaa also should be looking into the POS refs!!! It was BAIS ALL weekend and EVERYONE saw it!!!! The "independent" review was ALL for show!!! FERRARI had his singlet pulled at least 3 times!!! <<<< This never happens, and you can watch 1000 matches where you might see a singlet pulled once!!!! To miss it EVERY time!!!!

I still do NOT get the BLOCK in BLOCK's match!!! Where is a rule about when you have to through it in that situation? Match was STOPPED and action did NOT start!!!!! They threw it and that POS said NO????? WTF is that??? and that is when you go ALL out MONGOLA on his ***!!!!

Finals, It appears that Haines pushed Nebbys leg over??? They did not keep showing replay????? FORGET the finals at 184, WAS a TD, WAS awarded a TD!!! Side POS ref waves it off!??!?! When do you EVER see that????? I will wait!!!! Then they review it.......

I am telling you they are trying to KILL this sport!!!


ALSO, FOLK better geta PUSH OUT rule in real FAST!!! Should be, "OLD SKOOL warning track, IF a wrestler backs to the track, ONLY that wrestler can give up a PUSH OUT point. ALL action leading to out of bounds does not count. So when I am on my feet, playing the edge, giving ground, backing up, defending a small lead etc....

I have to fight to stay in the middle, because once my foot touches the warning line, I can give up a push out!!!

Mitchell?
That's what he means, but Sanderson is not giving up that job anytime soon, at least not as long as he's dominating. And then there's also Cunningham.
Harold Nichols had Les Anderson, and no place for young Gable to move up. Things change. ;)

Iowa joined the conference in 1899 and has 129 BigTen Championships. Very nice.
Penn State joined in 1990 and has 131.

Iowa has 25 National Titles across all sports. Quite admirable.
Penn State has 53.

That said, I have a cousin that graduated from Iowa in the 80's and he makes far more money than I do. Not that money is all that important. What is important is how many championships your college has. ;)
With that, I will exit. Peace
pst on a major roll has 10 big wrestling titles

Agree. Guessing Cael has 8- 14 left. 14 put him at 60 but my guess is he wont retire until Gables records are safely in the rearview mirror. The next PSU head coach could be in 6th grade as we speak.

I just want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for everything he has done for me and continues to do in his time. The only reason I do this is to glorify his name. In Jesus's name, amen.
Yeah that's getting old. The Michigan heavyweight basically went into a sermon for his post interview.

I almost wonder if it's collusion amongst these athletes to just illustrate how ridiculous they feel these immediate postmatch interviews are..........

The most resources in the sport changed very early during Carls time. It started what is occurring now. There were years where the interest income of NLWC was similar to the total revenue for HWC. That money was used to create several years of the equivalent of ‘double recruiting classes’ kids taking less scholarship money because of ‘ROTC’ ‘family money’ ‘just want to be in the room’ so they could also get a couple of more top end guys. If the post program guarantees are there then sure I will sign for less. Once the snowball starts it just gathers momentum and we end up here, with a dominant psu. To not acknowledge the set up in the early days is not being honest. Now it is just dominating and no end in sight.
This is a great and accurate summary of the beginning of the psu empire. Even if they had the resources I don’t think the Brands would have done something like this because it was in a gray area and they are strict rule followers.

I'm really not a fan of many of the post match interviews. Its not anything in particular but these kids have just created a lifetime achievement, have no time to collect their thoughts and do a Dopamine dump live on tv. Its entertainment and raw and I get it. When Bo pinned Martin that was wild. Before the mic was shoved into his face, I remember Cael motioning to Bo with his arms to calm down and relax. I'm curious if many wrestlers would like a do over if they ever watched themselves.

Haven't heard a post match interview in years. Sometimes as bad as the Cesspool. Guess you could say they've earned the mic, but don't like listening to 83% of them. Either my mute button (if live) or my fast forward button (if recorded) get a good workout during tourney time.

My friend, I don't believe for a second Cael's secret to success is drugging his athletes. Too many have come and gone and are now on other teams, and even DT is coaching another team. If that sh*t was happening it would be big news and they would have multiple sources. No, I think Cael is winning by recruiting the right guys, training the right guys, and then prepping his guys when it matters (March). Currently we suck by Iowa standards and it's up to us to fix our house just like DT is currently fixing Okie's house. As for the refs, yes, there were definitely some missed calls or questionable calls, but I lend that more to the human factor than the refs being on the take. Again, we need to fix our house and quit placing the blame elsewhere IMO. Go Hawks!!
