A takedown is 3 points. Escape is 1 point and reversal 2. Why isn't a reversal 3 points? The bottom wrestler takes control as if they got a takedown. Seems that gaining the top position from bottom should be 3 just like a takedown.

Actually he is using the position to push his pet peeves. Now they don't want to be called Mormons - after the last two leaders pushed "I'm a Mormon" campaign and "Meet the Mormons" books and supposedly Mormon means "More Good". They keep changing the never changing temple ceremonies - those passed down from Adam to the present day... At lease we have Cael Sanderson and are glad he did not commit to BYU.

47 years is a long time. Watching the program he should have turned it over to someone else at least 10 years earlier. A good guy & a good coach, but way past his expiration date & it showed.

He was hell on wheels on the mat - what happened? Why is he villified on these boards?

Scholarship athletes need to sue fast. Being given a Scholarship for their sport and then being told "you can't participate" is dishonest as hell. Surely a good Attorney can nail the school for deception like this. The school trying to drop wrestling when they have the greatest looking wrestling mat around" is asinine.

When everyone knows it is Russell Nelson, Prophet of the Mormon Church - the one True Church and the only one with an actual Prophet who speaks for The Lard.

It is a Religious school. Why any surprise when they screw the students and athletes?

and you have legal proof of this..., how?

Taylor has Assistants in the room. If he has to take off for a bit they can work with it. Preferrably Dake or someone else comes in - which can only benefit all those who are there. He is training in the room with his wrestlers and setting an example of what it takes at the highest level. Again, everyone benefits. No matter how he places they are all part of it. His commitment to competing is short term and then one and all get his full attention. This after a first hand look at the real world of what it takes at the top of the game. Just as Cael and 159-0/Olympic Gold is still reaping benefits for Penn State, OSU will gain from Coach Taylor and this experience. One big difference in wrestling and most other sports is that so many Coaches actually get on the mat and go with their athletes. A big attraction for many of these guys is the chance to roll around with a World Class wrestler who is also their coach. A lot more than "this is how you do it" and then you go out and try - they get to feel it on the mat knowing their Coach is The Real Deal.

LIke drivers slowing for Car Wrecks and on the highwayk?

Had to look it up when I was at the Library where they have computers to use. Don't go on any of those sites. Don't have a TV and haven't for some time, not since Hill Street Blues was on it.

Or they thought his dad was Enzo & would be giving the coaches free cars?

They don't threaten to flatten the tires on the trailer houses because those who move in do it right away and claim it makes it a permanent house.

The perfect match on the roster with Ferrari at Buck Owens University where he will fit right in with a tattoo in White Trash Trailer park condos.

You have been on X? What, you are an Algebra freak?

What, they are posing for handcuffs & an arrest warrant?

No matter the antics unless he screws up in a major way he will wrestle the whole season for the school. What he won't do is win it all this year and most likely not any other year. He won't have the practice partners in the room he needs to keep at the top level. He had them before but Buck Owens U just doesn't have it.

Scourge 165 wrote: "they're Iowa. Gable turned them around. Cael turned PSU around." Gary Kurdelmeier turned Iowa around with Dan Gable on his staff. Then Gable took over as head coach. Cael & Co did turn Penn State around. Lee got pinned, plain and simple. Then he quit rather than wrestle back trying to place third.

Wilt Chamberlain/Lew Alcinder-Karaeem Jabaar. Wilt could do it all. One season he averaged 50 points per game. Lew immediately raised the level of any team he was on. ------------ As for Wrestling I'll go with John Smith and 6 in a row and Dan Gable with total domination at his best.

If not for Matt Ramos he would have been a 4x NCAA Champ? Give Ramos Credit just as we do to Larry Owings beating Dan Gable.

Six in a row is a strong reason.

Yojo Uetake. Cael wasn't chopped liver, either.

BYU - perfect place for him.

How about the youngest Ferrari at Iowa? Mainly because of the craziness of his older brothers and family?

Dan Gable to Iowa. Cael Sanderson to Penn State. David Taylor to Oklahoma State. Any others in the running as the biggest betrayal to the University they wrestled for? I know, Taylor is a bit of a stretch but he is so linked to Penn State from College to International Titles I included him. Might have had Brands in here but they ended up back in Iowa.
