Two Wrestling Recruits Sticking with ISU
I'm hearing a "not so fast my friend" on Weatherman. It's possible that my info pre-dates any discussion Jackson had with him and of course it would be very strange if KJ went public with this without being 100% confident. But, if we find out in a few days or a week that Weatherman decides to... -

Jake Varner Leaving?
It's not even an article. It's a blog post. It's a shame that the lines between actual news reports and blogs has become so blurry. Heck, that guy cites a MESSAGE BOARD as his source. Wow. -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
Sorry but I was not informed of this other MB poster until after I started posting here. I've answered the question several times in threads over the past few weeks and in many PMs. For the record, I actually do know who that person is. -

I DO NOT post on Iowa message boards and have no desire to do so. I've probably taken shots at people here but not unless someone has taken one at me first. How about we talk about ISU wrestling and not this other crap? If you disagree with the SUBJECT MATTER post why and forget about this... -

Assistant Coaches - Wrestling
Dear ISUboi12: I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but in the magical world of the Internet user names do not necessarily cross over on message boards. For instance, I could go to to another board and sign up for ISUboi12 if you haven't already and that doesn't mean you are the one... -

Wow now you are doing nothing less than putting words in my mouth. Exact first comment of mine in the discussion: "I wouldn't hold my breath on this. Every new coach hire at a decent wrestling school over the past few years has claimed there's going to be an Olympic training site at their... -

What NCAA rule allows 3 volunteer coaches on staff? Their "old" jobs are open, too. If they want to come back and take those I'd be all for it. I'd be really pleased with them back in the room but not so excited about them as the 1st or 2nd assistant coaches. BTW, other than Burroughs the... -

I guess I'm just not as fired up as everyone else about the Paulson boys. They are after Donny Pritzlaff from Wisconsin. Now HE would be a great get. -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
That's just it--I never claimed ISU isn't a good option. We are a GREAT option. Others claimed ISU was the "best" option with a "leg up" on everyone else. I disagree with that. BTW, how arrogant is someone who doesn't comprehend that Iowa is a better wrestling program with a group of actual... -

Others her certainly don't act like they know. Bring up something that isn't 100% positive or say something positive about Iowa--even if to counterpoint another post--and people freak out. Maybe I'm more a fan of the sport rather than just ISU and that's unlike others on here. -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
I don't know why posting about that makes me an Iowa fan. It has nothing to do with Iowa. Though I mentioned what I heard about KJ early on, I never claimed I got the coaching search right. I clearly did not. I have no problems admitting this--coaching searches are not black and white or... -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
Insert fart noise here. I posted an opinion. I was called on the carpet for it. I posted examples and counterpointed. Then there was more point/counterpoint. That's what a discussion is all about. Leave the pro/anti Iowa stuff out of this. It's NOT THE POINT of the discussion. Why keep... -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
Dude, if this actually happens it's going to be awesome. I'll be nothing other than thrilled. My opinion is that it's somewhat of a pipe dream. I'm clearly not allowed to have that opinion here. People do not understand that I'm not down on the Iowa State wrestling program. I just think... -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
Yeah we never do stuff like that. I mean we NEVER have our wrestlers taunt opposing coaches after winning a match OVER A BACKUP in a dual meet that we are getting our ***** handed to us in. That stuff doesn't happen in Ames. Not once. Not never. We are nothing but first class all the time. Let... -

Fair enough, but it's not just Brands, or even the combination of Terry and Tom Brands (also a gold medalist). 3 of the 7 2008 freestyle Olympians already training there in Mocco, Zadick and Schwab. And not only that, they have Olympic gold medalists Randy Lewis and Dan Gable coaching in their... -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
And guess where the personal coach of our only gold medal winner from the '08 Olympics coaches? It's not ISU. What school already has 3 of the 7 2008 Olympic team members training and coaching there? It's not ISU. This school has a former gold medalist as the head coach there, too. Oh, and... -

Nate Gallick coming back to ISU
Like I said, I've read the claims. My only point is that I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think that gives us a leg up on anyone. Being ISU will give us a leg up on some schools but there's not a chance they are just going to magically open one of these in Ames but no where else, and... -

And he resigned from that job under pressure. That doesn't exactly put ISU in a better position than other schools. -

I wouldn't hold my breath on this. Every new coach hire at a decent wrestling school over the past few years has claimed there's going to be an Olympic training site at their school. I'll believe it when I see it. I think it's mostly idle chatter.
