    In the old days this would have been a 1-2 finish. Not anymore.

    CHOP

    Agree with you Cy but I am afraid that the current athletic administration has become content with the wrestling program the way it is.

    Loyalty ..... NONE!

    Iowa State wrestling fans will just have to keep replaying the 1987 championship in their minds, because I don't see another one coming with the current AD and coach that are in place.

    Minnesota Dual

    I am not a wrestling expert so I am not sure about that question. But for the upcoming dual with the Gophers, the Cyclones should have a good chance at 165 and 197 and maybe some other weights as well. As mentioned above Earl Hall seems to be doing better as of late as well so maybe we can get a...

    Minnesota Dual

    Yes I hope so. Kind of a rough couple of days at National Duals.

    Minnesota Dual

    Hope Cyclones can end the season on a high note against Minnesota. I am not expecting a win but I would like to see them do well so they have confidence going into Big 12s and NCAAs. Keep your heads up boys.

    KJ gets contract extension

    We are not that far removed from finishing highly in the NCAA tournament and I don't think the landscape of college wrestling has changed so drastically that it is beyond reason to expect a top program again. We have finished 2nd four times in the past 17 years. They are as follows 1996, 2000...

    KJ gets contract extension

    Sorry Judoka not buying the fact that we can't be a top program again with the right coach. Maybe Jackson is the coach that can do that. If we aren't there after two years we need to move on to someone else who can get us there.

    ***Oklahoma Preview/Predictions/Results(1/5 in Norman)***

    I am not counting a win against OK.

    ***NDSU Preview/Predictions/Results*** (12/16 at Hilton)

    I hope I am wrong. But the way the ISU kids have wrestled so far hasn't given me a reason to believe otherwise.

    ***NDSU Preview/Predictions/Results*** (12/16 at Hilton)

    I don't have a lot of confidence that the ISU boys will win this. NDSU won 4 out of 10 matches against Minnesota. Sorry just being realistic.

    ***Old Dominoin Preview/Gameday Thread***

    I saw this coming with the disappointing results we had in the Harold Nichols open. I was initially optimistic about this this year and was planning on taking my Son to a few meets. Now I don't see the point. Call me a fair weather fan if you like, but I am not going to pay to watch the team...

    Harold Nichols open

    I just don't want them to waste John Meeks freshman season in favor a one extra win for a mediocre team. If Meeks is already doing well this year just think what he could do next year as a red shirt freshman and probably a much better team as a whole. Does anybody disagree with me that Jackson...
