    Spooner or wrestling guru's...

    Many people think Terry Brands would be a good hire yet Bono would be a reach. When Brands coached UTC he did nothing to stand out, and problably less there than Bono. He also has traditionally played second fiddle to Tom. Tom won three championships, Terry two. Tom was a four time...

    Joe Heskett

    Krieger placed 5,1,2,1 and was one of three wreslters to be seeded number 1 at nationals all four years. The other two were Pat Smith, and Cael. A side note Tim only lost three matches in his whole career two to the same guy. Scott Turner from NC ST.

    Joe Heskett

    All those wrestlers had better careers than Joe Heskett! Joe Heskett was the number 1 seed at nationals his freshmen year, the only thing that set him apart from Cael's career, was Cael was better on his feet, Heskett was as good or better in everyother postion. He was so good on the mat...

    Any Love For Gibbons?

    If your a baseball fan of either the Cubs or the White Sox and you listen to Steve Stone on a dailey basis, you wonder how this guy is not a manager. Things happen he says is going to happen and usually the way he says its going to happen. When I listen to Gibbons do color I think of Stone...

    Do you want a Cyclone as Head Coach?

    The driving force of every college wrestling team is its alumni, and if you don't have the exwrestlers on board with the hire, well we all saw how many years it took to recover with the Bobby Douglas years falling to an unthinkable 19th in the nation. I hope Pollard is smart enough to consult...

    Greg Randall to be named next ISU head coach (rumor)

    Re: Greg Randall to be named next ISU head coach I agree with Cyfriend, we're Iowa State. North Carolina hires a North Carolina guy in Basketball, John Smith is at Ok ST. Brands is at Iowa. I don't see any difference, Bono, Heskett, Jackson, Gable, or any other ex alum would do just as fine...

    They won one in I believe 1953, and about Davis he's been Brad Penrtith with more resources.

    Names Emerging

    The name I keep hearing is Barry Davis, god I hope not. That would make two days in the last two as two of the top ten of my life. Talk about someone who not done anything in coaching

    Names Emerging

    Please don't even bring up Bobby and coaching ISU in the same sentence. Actually what did he really do at ISU , the program was on life support until back in about '95 when the three best lightweight in the country were Eric Gurrereo, from Cal., Teague Moore from Penn. and Cody Sanderson from...

    The Worse AD's of all time

    Just when we thougth Van Develde was the worst AD of all time, we show up with Pollard. Chiz was a joke, Mac can't be labeled anything less than a major dissappointment, and now he lets the greatest American wrestler of all time, an alum, the best thing ISU athletics had going leave. Then he...

    Any wrestling updates/predictions out there?

    ISU could conceivably place higher at seven weights than Iowa, and I like where Reader if seeded. I say we could put four in the Finals and if that happens we win it.

    Teams Iowa played were o for the bowls.

    Just think if Iowa was just a top 25 team this year, with that schedule, at the least they'd be getting their *** handed to them in the Rose Bowl. They passed their only real test with the win over Penn St. The rest of the their schedule was a joke. A quick look at the results of bowls...

    Mark Farley (Long)

    Did you see the 14 sec. of the game yesterday. He wasted a timeout to try an ice a kicker on the PAT. Then tried a once in a lifetime multi latteral play when all he needed was 30 yards to give his team a chance for a game winning fieldgoal. That's all I needed to see to eliminate him for the...

    Is McDermott's job security in danger

    Its time to bring on the Hoiberg tenure, he's been quoted as to saying that he always wanted to come back and coach his Alma Mater. He's a ten veteran of the NBA, he knows what it takes to get to the next level, and how to stay there. Three years ago ISU had a chance to hire their two most...

    Bulls To Interview Hornacek

    If the Bulls can hire Hornacek without any coaching experience than why couldn't we hire Hoiberg without any. Just think of it Sanderson and Hoiberg. Cyclone fans would come to love winters.
