Warm Up Champ

I feel like this probably is the case for the vast majority of wrestling programs except a couple of the teams at the top of the pyramid.

Gabe Whisenhunt, Oregon State. Just took 5th at U23 worlds. NCAA champ, lock it in!

Which wrestling coaches have actually been let go in recent memory? I can't imagine the list is very long. Zalesky at Oregon State. Poeta, however that wasn't performance related. Who else?

Gabe Whisenhunt, Oregon State, is wrestling for Romania and got a tech versus India in the last round.

They also had Chael Sonnen for a short stint.

Just give us back what we once had.

NW needs to bring back previously cut programs. Recently this included University of Oregon, Boise State, and Portland State. Going further back this would also include University of Washington and Washington State. Not too long ago the Pac-10 conference included Arizona State, Oregon State, Cal Poly, Stanford, Bakersfield, University of Oregon, Portland State, Boise State, Cal Fullerton, and Cal Davis. 5 of those teams no longer exist.

That was my plan

Where are you all at with college sports in general compared to 5-10 years ago? College sports have rapidly lost my interest over the recent years. I used to love watching college football but honestly only catch a game or so every few weeks at most. If I'm going to watch paid athletes I will watch the NFL hands down. I also hate to admit it but I am slowly losing interest in college wrestling. The proliferation of money in our sport, the transfer portal carousel, and the current need for wrestlers to cultivate a "brand" is really off putting. There is not much parity in college sports and it is really sickening to me the widening gap between the haves and have nots. For me college sports has totally lost the script of what it should be.

College sports are already dead. What are we protecting?

Oregon State with the top 2 wrestlers at 174!

Any insight on the Schubert to Oregon State prediction?

How about a thread with any links to T-shirts for All-Americans? Patrick Kennedy: https://patrick-kennedy-2026.itemorder.com/shop/home/

None of them will have wrestled 159 matches like Cael.

at 4:50. Does he really not know how to pronounce his teammates name?
