On the forums is one thing. A few loud voices posting can be ignored. More difficult to do in live events. Worst College crowds I ever saw were at BYU. Wrestling and Gymnastics and Swimming weren't bad but get into baskeball and football and you had everything from throwing things to racial epithets. Iowa was much more civil.

NIL, Payback money and all the rest. Big Business with big problems as greed proliferates on all levels. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/he-was-the-13-million-qb-recruit-now-he-s-suing-the-boosters-who-never-paid-up/ar-BB1mMSgN Maybe in the future wrestlers and other athletes will be considering which college to attend based on how big the Law School is there?

"A legend in his own mind"...

He's staying away from Joey. After all, the guy was killed in a gunfight and Brooks is scared of guns.

Just as clear that Iowa wrestler Ed Banach was a lock for four titles before he won his third by demolishing Mark Schultz.

David Taylor comes in with Penn State ideas and experience. John Smith was known for getting frustrated at the lack of technical excellence in his wrestlers even as he showed in his demeanor matside. We saw Smith's knowledge on display as he commented on mike at the Olympic Games. Pointing out options, missed opportunities and often two or three things the wrestlers could/should be doing. Somehow he was not getting this knowledge to his OSU wrestlers on the mat and it hurt the team. What do we expect with David Taylor? A Cael clone? That hasn't really worked for those who wrestled under Dan Gable. What changes do we expect to see on the mat now?

You may have something here. Iowa training is known to be hard on guys and transfers who come in don't seem to get any better - Real Woods being a good example. He seemed to lose more than he gained. Penn State may be hurting themselves with the limited schedule. Yep, winning Titles but doing the fans no favors. All the "fun", but not in seeing a lot of actual wrestling. The Sport probably sees more injury than any other than Gymnsatics and everyone competes while hurting. I prefer the Penn State mentality to the Iowa Grinders but somewhere we need to see more competition dates.

Yep, to to the Squawkeyes, look good, get worn down and beat up in the room and stagnate even with great talent.

What about Carter Young at 141? He should be OK with the knee by now. Not to mention he is #1 ranked on the All Time Cutie team... tho may have dropped to #3 after he cut his hair.

Nope, not good for the sport. Fans want to watch the top competitors. Fans want good duals. Cael is managing things and winning, but the fans are losing. Some of his guys have fewer matches in a season that guys did in the 1940's.

A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it is printed on. Circumstances vary but one had a tough time trying to enforce verbal agreements and promises.

Nothing at all wrong with this to help fund his family expenses to the Olympic Games. They need some help, why not give it to them?

On the Iowa board. Are they really letting this guy back in the room? Is it because of his Daddy? Or, are others who gambles coming back for another season?

You should have seen Wilt Chamberlain. Track & field to basketball to Hank Stram trying to sign him to play football for the Kansas City Chiefs. He tested well and Stram wanted to sign him but Wilt decided not to do it. He was an amazing athlete. ------------------ ""Greatest athlete" you gotta be good in at least 2 sports like Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders but I'd bet there might be a 3 sport example even better." Try Otto Graham. Won a title as a Player for the Rochester Royals in Basketball before becoming a Pro Football Quarterback. In Football his team played in the Title Game for Ten straight seasons.

Why? If he wins he goes on to try for a few World Titles as well. Only makes sense to add more if he really is that good.

On the Jesus stuff... him polishing the Bowling Ball in THE BIG LEBOWSKI sure does a lot to help one believe. You can really see Jesus Power on display.

John Smith and Dan Gable going in the room with their wrestlers. You can include Mark Schultz in the conversation. They are killers. David Taylor is very good, but not a killer. There is a difference. You could see it on the mat with these guys and their attitude.

Which direction do I turn at Yellow Corners to get there?

How will he do in the interviews after matches compared to Tom Brands? Will be interesting to see Iowa vs OSU on the mat.

Is it real? That is all I want to know. If it is supposed to be humor then yes, it is in bad taste. I remember only too well the sportscaster "bit'n Marve Albert" & his hooker problem and the wife beating pro QB Warren Moon.

Bad taste or not, is is true?

What..., you thought that "J" stood for Jenius? Then again, he may well be. Any man who can go through 6 Bankruptcies and still be thought as a great business guy...

Does this mean he will out Fererari the joker who does the splits & salutes the crowd..., for Jesus?

He is going to go to Oklahoma State and meet Kirkvleit in the NCAA finas. Kirk who has been getting pointers from Anthony Cassar so Steveson will have bookend losses to a Nitwitty Lion. -

You think it is bad now..., wait until Brooks gets his personally autographed Donald Trump Bible - hand written by Jesus himself! (ane here you thought the J in Donald J Trump stood for Jenius)
