I quote Corby2 in post #695: “AJ didn't get in school.”

I’m starting to think you really are MSU158 as others have postulated.
Didn't get in school correct he was told he couldn't attend before classes started. They didn't let him in school. Just because you sign up doesn't mean you went to that school. Not sure why thats so confusing 🤷

Let me know where you saw me post that he went to Iowa.

Me: here’s a list of Iowa recruits and wrestlers that strangely never went to Iowa or were kicked out.

Corby: AJ was never accepted and never went to Iowa.

Me: He totally was accepted. He was even in the student directory.

PSUbluTx: I’m with Corby.
I tell ya, I have Corby on ignore and it’s still hard to sort through the chaos he causes on this board.

The amount of time going back and forth on posts that have taken an original post way off track is astonishing. Some posters do this for sport. Some take offense to minutiae. Some just don’t know when to move on. Putting a poster on mute is one approach. I’m hesitant to go there but it’s getting pretty close to the time to pull that trigger.

If folks are arguing that AJF didn’t get kicked out of the Iowa wrestling room, then there is no point in conversing with you on the topic.
If I remember correctly he wasn't given the boot for the split with double birds, he was still lingering and in the room right up until something inappropriate (contact, verbal, not sure) happened between Fearri and Cassioppi's sister. Whatever it was that happened there, Fearri's BS was tolerated IMO well past the point of good sense.

Unfortunately, he also sometimes has insider type info worth reading.
It's not worth it. Once he started bringing up my wife on HR, that ship sailed for me. I prefer to get information from insiders who can type coherent sentences, have the ability to admit when they are wrong, and have some semblance of self awareness and comprehension. 🤷‍♂️

If I NEVER see another post about AJ Ferrari it will be too soon. There is way too much time spent posting about a guy who is simply irrelevant to wrestling at this point. Any “contribution” he makes to the sport is at best a net negative. As to his personal life, I’m simply not interested.

Bob Nichols flat out accusing Penn State of cheating is comedy gold!
If another of the Jersey recruits decommits, Katie bar the door! The sunshine pumpers will be in shambles.

It’s also not a good sign when your best recruits don’t score many points in high school. They’ll be coming to a sad realization about this current crop in about 2 years

I generally avoid going there (I waste enough of my time and brain cells here)--can you give me a quick glimpse into this?

Sorry Bob but my point of view is the furthest thing from PSU's... unless you're referring to having championship expectations.
I'd love nothing more to see our program back on top and theirs competing with Nebraska for 3rd.

I wrote:

Cut Bob a break. It's bad enough to have to watch PSU not only win championships, but, break the all-time scoring record that they set the previous season when you are an Iowa fan. It's even worse when you are paying money to "level the playing field".

Impossible to level the playing field with the level of cheating in Happy Valley by the Sando boys

Congrats on your Shut Up Because Sandusky award.

Mr. Nicholls appears to be one of those people who has decided that having a lot of money entitles him to be a horse’s ***. Claims cheating without providing any details. If he has details he should be man enough to spit them out to support his general assertion. If he doesn’t he should just sit down and shut up.

There, I feel better now. Just my $.02.

You said I'm gonna go walk my dog and wrestle with my wife. And I said tell your wife I'm sorry . You brought up your wife and I made a joke basically calling you ugly 🤷. Didn't think you were a snowflake I'm sorry for the wife comment

Might sound weird on a board Deb spent a lot of time on recruiting but I found out if I wait long enough to figure out what will happen. And me figuring out or trying to hope or speculate and what's gonna happen doesn't have anything to do with it.

So I basically ignore those guys and might engage when a topic interests me.

Look, Bob promised years ago the field would be leveled with his help. That didn't happen. His only recourse now is to claim cheating so Hawk fans don't finally figure out that the longer hes involved with the program the worse they get. Most Hawk fans are block heads so imo, it's a smart move by Bob.

They were going to pass us so thoroughly that the dust would settle before we got to where they had been

Is it me, or has Iowa gone down hill ever since Bob started investing. A very consistent slope on that decline as well. I am not necessarily saying tossing money around is the cause, but the negative mojo can't be ignored.
Simply tossing money around wasn't the cause, but it isn't a solution, either. Only DT has it actually figured out thusfar. Only DT.

I vote this thread gets renamed As the Bird Turns because of the soap opera-esque drama that is Iowa wrestling these days

Yet you felt it necessary to post another. OK.

Penn State fans should be more grateful for Slumlord Bob. He's largely responsible for Iowa doing just well enough to keep TnT at the helm.

Before corby comes to white knight, TnT are good coaches but they'll never sniff the championship again.
