Disappointed_Badger_Fan

Dude claims that the refs just inserted themselves in the match but the reality is that if Fix wasn't stalling in the 3rd and ot the ref wouldn't have to make the call. Fix deserved that lol

I think Hamiti if he doesn't AA will probably transfer for his senior year. If he loses to Carr he will most likely get Olejnik who killed him this year in the blood round

you are spot on. The way things are going with Bono all the tier 1 nationally ranked high school wrestlers in Wisconsin leave and the tier 2 guys stay, and then we get to listen to the clown hype man talk about how great it is to have 5-7 Wisconsin guys in the lineup. This really comes down to Bono not being able to lock down the border from a recruiting standpoint. Just imagine where this team would be ranked if O'Toole, Messenbrink, Mocco, Keckeisen, Whiting, Buchanan, and any other Wisconsin guys were at UW.

Sure he hasn't coached at a college level, but look at the guys I mentioned they were all ready and able to step in as freshman and make an impact. Even the more than likely "worst" rated recruit Keckeisen came in as a freshman and dominated. Either way experience or not the Badgers program under Bono has been going down hill and if you actually follow the Badgers and look at the recruits that are coming in it doesn't look like they will be ascending any time soon. Bono relies on getting senior transfers way to much. There current ranked guys Barnett, Maylor, Liegel are all seniors and the other 2 ranked guys Hamiti and Zargo are juniors. Basically none of the young talent has shown very much of anything besides Rivera and Condon and the recruits is extremely underwhelming. I mean for god sake Little Rock is currently ranked higher than Wisconsin and they also have 2 Wisconsin guy in their lineup. It is no disrespect to them, but how are they able to recruit and develop better as a still relatively new program than a established big 10 program like Wisconsin. There is 1 answer and it is Bono. He can't recruit well or develop well. At this point they should fire Bono and take a chance on Askren because it really can't get much worse and the potential upside could be huge for the program.

Why not bring in Ben to be the coach. He has massive name recognition and has proven that he can coach wrestling. I also think that if he were the coach we might see some Wisconsin guys that left the state come back home and wrestle for the badgers. Also it is very fair to say Bono isn't good at developing guys. Hamiti came in as a freshman and was an all American but hasn't reached the next tier yet. Amos was a top 5 recruit and hasn't even made the round of 12 in his 2 years. Rowley was a top recruit and left after 1 year. You brought up that Bono is only getting mid tier guys and that is another problem. If all you can get is mid tier you need to be good at developing them. If you look at statistics the Badgers fired Barry Davis because he wasn't meeting the standard they felt they should be at and Bono has had either the same or less success. Instead of hiring Bono they should've hired Ben because then they would've at least had a chance at keeping O'Toole, Keckeisen, Clayton Whiting, Peyton Mocco, Mirasola twins, Sinclair, Millard, Mesenbrink, Scoles, and Mulvaney in Wisconsin for college. They were/are all were top recruits and I'm probably missing some people, but having that much talent in the state and seeing them all leave should be exhibit A for why Bono needs to go.

I am so sick of this guy. He isn't a coach. He is a high energy hype man. Nobody develops when they get to Wisconsin. He also sucks at recruiting. He gets an elite recruit every couple years, and they either are a immediate stud or they don't develop beyond what they were as freshman and they never reach their full potential. Fire Bono. Hire Askren.

My high school just got their 226 consecutive Conference Dual win and it made me curious what other schools have massive streaks like that. I figure someone on here knows of a longer one. Also not just 226 straight but they are now 226-0 so if anyone knows a better conference record let's hear it.

honestly has this one commentator pronounced 1 guys name right yet

This ref is having a ROUGH night.

I believe Ben has publicly said that if he was to ever coach it would only be for UW. Things could've changed since his comments, but at this point the Badger AD needs to move on from Bono because he is just a middle aged hype man that can't develop any wrestlers beyond what they were when they arrived on campus

I would think a lot of guys would either think about transferring or he might get a lot of young guys to flip their commitments. I think so many guys would want to come home where their parents/families could see them in person, but instead of transfers I'd love to see Millard, and the Mirasolas at UW.

Ragusin was still going to redshirt at that time. Amine was dealing with injuries. Deagustino doesn't seem like the ducking type. Lewan also has never been a guy that ducks people

Michigan had at least 4 people wrestling in that dual that are now backups...

They'll be lucky to be top 25. Currently they have 4 guys that are not division 1 level guys at their weight. I don't even know if Letini has won a match this year same goes for every heavyweight. Mechler is not a Big 10 caliber wrestler. Otto is okay if he is at his weight actual, but at 197 I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't win any matches this year.

As a Wisconsin fan Askren would be awesome as head coach. Otoole, Mirasolas, Sinclair, Millard, Whiting, Mocco, Messenbrink, and many more may have still left WI for college, but if Askren was coach they at least would've considered staying in state I'd assume. Bono is a total disappointment. At least when Barry Davis was coach we didn't expect anything, but Bono gives the same results just has more energy.

I understand them disqualifying AJ but how can they give Glazier the win. The clock was at 0 and the score was 5-2 Ferrari. Again I understand the DQ, but why does the other guy get the win when the match was over. Also I don't blame AJ for swinging dude got up in his face for no reason. People are going to hate on AJ, but the reality is if Glazier would've gone back to the center nothing would've happened, but instead he finally wanted to be aggressive after he lost.

First this was hilarious. I've had nearly all of these complaints for some time now. The only thing you missed was their microphones are also sound like they were from the 1980s otherwise you're assessment of Flo is spot on lol.

Am I the only person that hates when their are good duels on the ACC Network. I really can't stand listening to Rock Harrison constantly yelling, grunting, and making just blatantly wrong comments. He was just describing a potential takedown for Feldman and said "that would be a takedown in high school, but not in college". Both guys had grips on each other's legs and nobody had control. Not even close to a takedown in any level of wrestling.

I have been only viewing these forums for a little over a year, and it sounds bad to say, but it was great to see every fanbase come together to support Sammy. I came across this article that included the names and history of the 2 minors arrested for the shooting and WOW I never imagined people at such a young age could have such lengthy criminal histories. https://www.10tv.com/article/news/crime/ohio-state-wrestler-sammy-sasso-shooting-arrests/530-d2f545cd-b874-45e6-a66a-a03e357cc9ed
