    Aggregation of press coverage from the Jackson hiring

    Left out Iowa City-Press Citizen Andy Hamilton's blog entry, which as you'll notice was posted at 3:10 p.m. after confirmation from IC native Mitch Mueller.

    Aggregation of press coverage from the Jackson hiring

    The press conference should be fun. Here the Thursday's media coverage of the hire, minus TV broadcasts. [If I missed something, add it on. Probably did...] It'll be interesting to see how Pollard responds to questions about possible interest in Mark Manning. In the Dan McCool's story, the...

    Did you ever have a teacher who picked on you?

    No, but I heard a PE teacher at my high school pretty maliciously make fun of a mentally-challenged student. I was pretty mature back then, but it made me sick.

    Official NFL Draft 2009 - Please keep this for the draft

    Moneyball author Michael Lewis wrote the book Blindside on Oher, I believe. It's a weird pick to think about: drafting Harvin, who failed the drug test before the combine, instead of a guy like Oher.

    Kevin Jackson

    Everyone should read this: Wrestling coach Jackson calls for an overhaul A few points: -10 years as an Olympic-level coach. -MMA experience (should be mentioned) -People complain about the intensity of Iowa State. His room will be tough, whether it's in Ames or at Arizona State. I figured...

    Varner, Paulsons win US Nationals

    Sorry about digging up old news. Just didn't see it before. Varner was at 211.5, and Herbert is at 185 still. Bertolino's success is somewhat suprising -- not that he isn't talented, but he's really come on after committing to move up from 174. He was competitive with Varner in freestyle...

    Varner, Paulsons win US Nationals

    Never saw anything posted about this, but Iowa State did pretty well at US Nationals. Jake Varner and the Paulsons won. Here are the two Cyclones.com releases: Paulson twins win at U.S. Nationals Varner wins at U.S. Senior Nationals Varner placed third at the Olympic Trials last summer, which...

    The Wrestler

    Ties with Dark Night for best movie of the year, IMO

    Talked to Cody Sanderson

    I did end up writing a story. "Wrestlers left in limbo in wake of Sanderson's departure." [I wrote "Pan Am Wrestling Championship." Should be the Championships... didn't get caught in the editing process... gotta fix that] Bonus quotes: "It’s sad to see them leave, but we’re Cyclones, you...

    Metcalf on twitter

    There have been all sorts of pretenders out there. The Rick Reilly-fake was the best. Whoever wrote it was committed. They wrote 7-10 posts a day. This'll probably be taken down before Friday.

    Talked to Cody Sanderson

    I talked to Cody Sanderson today in the wrestling room today. I wasn't able to talk to Cyler, and I probably won't be able to write story [School.....], so I figured I'd give this to the people. Cody was wearing an Iowa State wrestling shirt and had some interesting things to say. He said he's...

    Names Emerging

    Don't know if this has been posted, but Cael mentioned Kevin Jackson during his exit interview with the media on Friday. I don't know if he would have talked about anyone else, because someone cut him off. Jackson's current situation (Sunkist Club coach), coaching experience, and MMA experience...

    Blow To Our Progam or Blow To Our Ego

    Sanderson at his press conference today: “I can’t really say what’s going to happen with those wrestlers. We’ve spent a lot of time talking with the individuals, and they’re gonna, they’re gonna try and stay. I think it’s important that they stick together, especially – we have a great junior...

    Caels new salary

    I wrote my story at 4 p.m., then checked his blog and he had it was posted. I was wondering when other people would see it. I check his blog twice a day, usually. He says 'less than 10' percent for the increase, so I don't know what that means. And he emphasized that Penn State is a sleeping...

    The story I saw today.

    Didn't seem to have a proper conclusion. Here are the first few lines: Cael Sanderson had an answer for why he was leaving Iowa State for Penn State. He just didn’t know if it was a good one. LINK And don't get caught up in rumors. The first time I believed Cael was leaving was when I...

    Friday Afternoon Cael Sanderson Rumor Update

    I spoke with a couple ISU wrestlers

    Bump/interesting This is the content from Cael's last blog entry, which was posted on Tuesday: Benjamin Franklin’s “Plan of Conduct” 1. It is necessary for me to be extremely frugal for sometime, till I have paid what I owe. 2. To endeavor to speak truth in every instance; to give nobody...
