    Kevin Dresser Accepts ISU Coaching Position - Confirmed

    HUGE! This is exactly what we need and how we needed it to happen (salary, timing, etc.) Agree - I really want the Paulson's to be retained somehow, I really want KJ still involved with the CWC. But we need the new CEO at the top - and it has to be his process and his style. I'm thrilled...

    Coaching Candidates - Tommy Birch (DMRegister)

    What about Cary Kolat? From Pennsylvania where he went 137-0 in HS, 111-7 in college with 2 titles.... He has a great website in supporting practices for other coaches. I honestly have overlooked this one.

    Iowa Ducking Virginia Tech at the National Duals

    This is as obvious as Texas ducking playing football in Ames in November or December. Further watered down the National Duals.

    Iowa State Vs Pitt

    PD2 - Regardless what PD3 does this year, and next year - I wish him a bright future and appreciate him being a Cyclone. I really appreciate you on here and not hiding who you are like many of us can take advantage of. Wrestlers need the swagger - and I also 100% know that the parents do as...

    Agree - When Cael writes a book I don't want to see "I really felt drawn to return to Iowa State and complete what I started there but they never called so I figured I burned that bridge..." I do believe that JP has learned a lot in hiring coaches, good and bad - he's better at seeking input...

    Criteria - I agree with some of that - all of it for consideration. My issue with Mitchell (and even hesitation with Schwab) is 'What got you here won't get you there'. #1) Wrestler Development - Physical - Technique - Team mentality - Mental (I believe that this is...

    Coaching Candidates - Tommy Birch (DMRegister)

    Agree with Dresser as a top and many other names that you guys have thrown up there. But there are two more of my top 5-10 that are missing: Doug Schwab - Definitely in my top 5 Mark Manning - Definately in my top 10 (Nebby is quietly becoming relevant) If you can parlay an offer on...

    Should we make a change at Head wrestling Coach?

    KJ has been on my replacement list for a while. I really like him, but he seems very inconsistent and unprepared on the coaching side. TNT seem to be the consistent ones, and I believe they have been the drivers on the recruiting end". I definitely don't think we do worse with a change...

    Things to do in Europe? (UK, FRA, ITA, GER, CZE, NLD, BEL, SWE, DEN)

    Also Rothenberg in Germany is awesome' In the tourist areas most natives speak English, get off the beaten path and it's a different story!

    Things to do in Europe? (UK, FRA, ITA, GER, CZE, NLD, BEL, SWE, DEN)

    I've been there a few times, my favorite is Germany by far. I never have but always wanted to ride bikes on the trails in the Netherlands. As far as England - Piccadilly Circus was fun, France - Eiffel Tower of course and you'll need two days to see all the Louvre (beaches in the south are...

    Hurl Beechum????

    This is pretty tough in Glenwood - I don't think Glenwood is trashy honestly. Scenery is amazing around there and their brewery is awesome... but like many smaller towns it has some issues. Glenwood seems to be evolving into a quasi Omaha suburb - for those that don't want to live in CB. Per...

    Dish Network, DirecTV, or Mediacom

    I know - my biggest reason to hold on thus far. 2 games in and I really haven't used it. But we did put it on the camper for the state fair.... thus its still my biggest hold right now.

    Dish Network, DirecTV, or Mediacom

    All - thank you for your help. Summary - Mediacom still sucks (the first comment about rather write checks to Satan cracked me up!) Why leave Dish? - billing issues, equipment issues (may be fixed with the Hopper), and 'new' customer treatment elsewhere (basically about $20 less for a year of...
