EIU fans throw it in because for over a decade, wrestling there was the gold standard for the sport, and it was a settle dig at ISU. How could we not hire Gable and let him get away, forgetting that ISU had a HOF coach already on board that wasn't ready to retire yet. They said the same thing about Sanderson, but that came back to bit them in the ass, while Cale was at ISU we never had the resources to commit to wrestling to get better than EIU just make it close, but at Penn State, lack of money was not a problem, and he has dominated the sport, much like Gable did.
They do the same thing with baseball, just another dig, damn well knowing that ISU no longer has the sport.
