He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon
Buf how do you explain the coach's wife on Facebook attacking fans who are upset with the results? It should come to no surprise and with sports that when you are a coach or family of the coach you will always have critics - even when you are winning. It goes without saying, coaches and their... -

***Midlands Championships Dec 29/30th***
The concern is their is no plan, that is the lack of leadership we are missing in this program. The history of pulling red shirts have all been selfish decisions on what is best for the coach and not the athlete. -

***Midlands Championships Dec 29/30th***
Makes no sense to pull his redshirt or anyone else's. Are we in the hunt for the NCAA title, no. You have this concern about pulling red shirts because of injuries, you should be far more concern about him lacking in development in the years to come. I hope that isn't the case cause he brings... -

Off topic but a funny story. When ISU finished 2nd in Albany (Cael winning his 4th title) the team is heading to the airport after a long night of celebrating - yes celebrating 2nd because ISU was picked to finish 8th and because Rohn from Lehigh pinned Lambrecht from Oklahoma (who was up... -

Lester was an incredible wrestler and one of the top recruits in the country, coming out of Ohio. With Coach Douglas coming from Ohio he really did have an advantage recruiting there (Heskett, Thompson, Lester, Bertolino). IMO while Lester was tough had he stayed at ISU I am not quite sure his... -

Lester transferred cause he wanted to focus on Greco only which Coach Douglas supported him. Another wrestler, Matt Sanchez who was originally recruited as a 125 was behind Roberson when he couldn't make 125. He was encouraged and pushed by Douglas to transfer as Douglas wanted to see him... -

KJ in Netflix doc Team Foxcatcher
An interesting fun fact. The original ****** for Foxcatcher was written by heavy weight All American Scott Coleman's brother. Scott Coleman was a 2x AA for ISU after transferring from BYU after the program was dropped. Coleman along with Holker were teammates at BYU and both wrestled under head... -

NCAA Wrestling Tournament (Thursday-Saturday)
From what I had heard, Hall had taken a class while he was at the OTC. Because he took a class or was enrolled in a class his eligibility clock had started. -

NCAA Wrestling Tournament (Thursday-Saturday)
Throw in American's David Terao. He had a great tournament as well knocking off some guys as well as giving the defending champion everything in the 3/4 place match. Congrats to ISU All Americans - Hall, Spoon, and Downey as well as the rest of the guys who competed. -

You are right. I'll go back to following the program from a distance and keep to myself. I'll let you and Judoka continue to "polish the turd" and reach for positives even if they come across as moral victories. -

Marty Martinez is only one man but he is one of the most valuable resources in the program let alone all of ISU athletics!! -

Ego. Jamie Pollard has an ego. Also lets call a spade a spade - wrestling does not generate the revenue as a major/big sport. At the end of the day, as much as I love wrestling if my job was to bring in money to a University Athletic Dept. and I am evaluated on my financial numbers and success... -

Iowa State Wrestling
I have followed the program and like to consider myself engaged but I recognize since I don't post often I lose "credibility" or maybe I didn't have much to say for the results we have had. Sure I could have given kudos out on individual performances or team victories over a ranked opponent but... -

My intent was to share points which have never been brought up on these boards. Did I once attack or said anything about the coaches being fired? Conditioning - I gave my reason why I thought conditioning seems to be a concern. Never once have I read on this forum about poor technique, poor... -

UNI Dual
Thoughts on the meet.... 125: Best Larson has looked all year. Was attacking Peters left leg lead which he was able to get two single leg attacks. Panicked towards the end as Peters went for his "go to" moves which allowed Peters to pick up some takedowns. I would have liked to have seen Larson... -

After watching yesterday's meet against UNI and following the program and board over the years, wanted to share some things that make it hard as an ISU fan: Excuses. Since day one, there have always been excuses as to why guys haven't performed or haven't improved. Yesterday, Dante goes out... -

Are you serious? Did you watch the meet? I'm tired of the "moral victory" of keeping it to a decision or hanging on for a win. Besides Hall and Boston who else were you impressed with? We continue to struggle on the mat. Bonus points won us the meet and happy for Hall but as a whole how... -
