Alces Alces Gigas

Im.not. saying the coaches or athletic dept failed it is failure by the institution as a whole. The school has bigger concerns and that's ok

Yup and Oklahoma State was Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical at one time as well, the powers that be made the call and look where they are today.

I look at PSU and see where they were pre-Sanderson and wonder why other teams with the same sort of success haven't made strides forward like they have. Oklahoma? Illinois? Michigan State? Indiana? Wisconsin? Etc?? Why aren't they doing better? Sure they all can't be #1 but they sure can do better.

I'm saying the schools had the opportunity to become athletic powerhouses and decided that was the road they did not want to travel down. The decision might have been made 75 years ago but it is what it is.

Clarion failed to parlay their excellence under Bob Bubb into future success. Maybe it was the athletic dept maybe it was the school or at the state level but the ball was dropped. Opportunity existed and somebody squandered it. It is obvious that wrestling and athletics are not a priority at Clarion and many other schools. Decisions were made and that is OK

Opportunity exists for all.

Every team in the NCAA has had the same opportunities to raise funds and hire good coaches and build good facilities. I hate hearing about the haves and have nots. Some schools chose to act, some schools didn't!. This phenomenon does not just apply to recent history

Chandler needs to go! Never hire from within a failed program and that is exactly what Msu did when they hired Chandler.

I know! We should all be thankful we don't need to wait 1 1/2 months for the results to be published in USA Wrestling!

Mat cast is the first option. Listed below the mutimat image is a list of mats

ESPN can't even operate an on screen match clock!!!! That kind of stuff never happens in basketball

Some of those old timers were special! 40s 50s and 60s had some real studs. 70s as well! Recent guy that's gets forgotten is Greg Jones Jimmy Jackson is another on that is often forgotten

Nance lost in the semis to Bob Billberg of Moorhead State (MN) who was the NAIA champ that year (66) MSU was dual affiliated back then so they wrestled in two national tournaments

Jimmy Jackson should be on the list
