I don't there was ever any animus towards IMar, he was just a giant that had to be toppled; ironically, Spencer Lee wound up being sort of irrelevant; and Suriano wound up just being a passing distraction - even though his departure left 125 in the lurch for quite a few years, it didn't hurt the team's success very much, if at all.
Spencer leading Iowa to a National Title and likely 2 if not for covid was irrelevant to PSU? Please that kid has taken more fire from this board than any other wrestler. Ever since he spurned PSU a good majority have been obsessed with tearing down him and his family. I am not even sure there is a close 2nd.

Why is a title always followed by a make believe "likely 2 (with appropriate rationalization)"? He helped Iowa win 1 team title and he was probably the best Iowa wrestler in the Brands era, with McDonough and Metcalf pretty close.

The only "fire" he took that I recall was from the wild hyperbole about him from the Iowa crowd and Flo and the incessant coverage of him from Flo. Oh, and the glasses thing, which is some funny sh*t even today. It was one title, just a little blip in the timeline. Penn State has been just fine without him, thank you.

Bonomo? He owes me money
...Ricky's brother Rocky is in the Ministry - reminds me of a joke.
Three kids are debating who's dad makes the most money.
First kid says, 'My dad's a lawyer and he makes $200 an hour.'
Second kids says, 'That's nothing, my dad's a doctor and he makes $200 just for seeing a patient.'
Third kid says. 'Oh yeah, my dad's a pastor and he speaks once a week for 45 minutes and it takes six guys to bring him all the money'.
