    He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon

    At what point does KJ come to the conclusion that he is not meeting the expectations he has set for himself. On the mat and in the cage he was nearly un-stoppable! Maybe coaching college kids is not his best attribute... He has a lot to offer the sport of wrestling it just may not be as a...

    Getting the right wrestler

    I had decided to stay away from posting on this message board last year. But as someone that has a STRONG inside connection to the wrestling program at ISU. This post is 1000 % accurate... SolarGarlic certainly knows whats going on in the Cyclone Wrestling room.

    Yikes

    Ok - Agree that young people deserve second chances but this young man continually drops the ball and lets his team down. Talent or Character? I choose Character and any one of you that thinks throwing that cheap punch in a college wrestling meet can be spun as a positive needs to check their...

    CKJ has got to go!

    Everyone knows how I feel about KJ. Simply he is not the guy! With that said does anyone else think we may have the wrong strength and conditioning coach. All of our guys are "tiny" compared to the other teams on the mat. As long as the Paulsons have one side and KJ has the other --- Room...

    Roster up

    We would all love to see Downey in a ISU singlet but he has to pass 18 credit hours to be eligible. Good Luck but the odds are not in the Cyclones court.

    Marcus Harrington out

    I like your perspective on this (sort of). Agree that the bigger man walks away! But another question is how many of us have made similar mistakes to Marcus? Getting into a fight, allowing someone to get under our skin, or doing something we regret? Most of us? I can guarantee that...

    Marcus Harrington out

    Your assuming I was using "frat boy" in some sort of derogatory manor. What is it you call a college student that pledges into a fraternity? Just curious?

    Marcus Harrington out

    We have to remember that kids like Marcus and/or "most" other talented wrestlers are BA's on the mat because of certain characteristics they have. Few wrestlers have the ability to wrestle at a HIGH Div 1 level with a choir boy attitude. Just sayin. Sometimes when someone invades your...

    Marcus Harrington out

    Hearing the "frat-boy" that got dropped was drinking and Marcus was not. Also hearing that there may have been some aggression by said "frat-boy" that lead to the punch. Let the process run its course before you throw stones at a kid like Marcus. Really good student-Really good kid-really...

    Jackson Extended through 2018

    Now Judoka I never claimed to have an inside track on KJ or Perry.. I simply stated there were rumors. And we both know they were stronger then just a Hawkeye board. We both know I was referring to my inside track to the wrestlers and the goings on with them.. Play nice Judoka... We all...

    Jackson Extended through 2018

    Get on board and root for the best... I will be forced to support KJ but I think the "Big Bright Picture" here is that JP does not give a "Rats Rear-End" about wrestling. #Mediocre4Life

    Injury bug

    I agree nothing more then bad luck. The one positive I have always had with KJ is our kids have peaked at the correct time... Just my 2 cents...

    2016 lineup

    Earl lost his 1 year so he would have to take an Olympic. I am hearing Tanner can not make 165 but if he could LeLund would be fun to watch at 174. AA - I would guess.

    2016 lineup

    Here is a pretty accurate lineup based on Room today.... 125: Larson / Boston (toss up) Larson beat Boston at Cyclone Open and there is a strong dislike there. 133: Hall (rumors he may take an Olympic) If so Larson 141: Dante 149: Gabe 157: Bricenio 165: Molina/Breitenbach (Molina has the edge)...

    Pretty sure KJ has another year left on contract...

    RUMORS ARE FLYING ABOUT PERRY..... My fear with change is would they keep the assistants on staff. I am a big fan of T&T... Faith and Character is a nice place to hang your hat. I am predicting nothing but things happen when you least expect it.... Heck look at our finish at the...

    Pretty sure KJ has another year left on contract...

    Just for the record I do not care if he is here or not... I only post when I have strong feelings about something. I am a DieHard Cyclone Wrestling fan! Let me make that clear... 2nd Thing - Your eyes will be opened when a few highly talented kids are not back next year... Then you...

    Decision Time on Jackson

    I think this post pretty much nailed the ISU Wrestling program.... Thanks for posting the same views I certainly have with a more political approach. I think others feel the same way but are afraid to speak their true feelings.

    Decision Time on Jackson

    Believe what you want.... Did I say every wrestler was not a Jackson supporter? Of course Kyven is a supporter. I think if you go back and look at my history you will see I have been consistent. I am not calling for KJ's head... I do know he struggles forming relationships with wrestlers...

    Decision Time on Jackson

    I wanted to take some time and post here about KJ... Understand I do not dislike KJ. I certainly agree that he is doing a "pretty good" job and has not done anything to deserve getting fired. Unless of course you go by standards that other sports have set forth.... I think the quick to...
