What about Hunter Biden?! Didn't he supply betting slips tainted with Cocaine from the White House Library? Maybe the MY PILLOW guy will investigate and make a 2 Million $$$ documentary showing it is all a lie and Iowa has really won the last 10 NCAA titles? Rumors are just that and don't change no matter how many times you repeat them.

You certainly don't win any great Omaha steaks or fresh farm food. Bighorn Sheep to Sage Grouse. Open space to roam with great hunting and fishing. No cheezy East Coast types or Californicators needed. Now North Dakota...

Your question does not say "Wrestlers". So..., US Navy SEALS ROK Special Forces troops British SAS commandos

Getting so excited about J'den not telling one all about the injury - while so many give Spencer Lee a complete pass for his no-show/injury/too damned tired to finish an NCAA tournament and go against Suriano for the US Team.

Many other sports allow more than one entrant per event. Wrestling and Boxing both should have two per weight.

Many great wrestlers were not great coaches. Kevin Jackson comes to mind here as a head coach. A lot of promise and talent but never quite got the team firing on all cylinders. Sammy Henson and so many others somehow can't get the team to perform. Cael, Smith, Gable, Jones - they are the exception, not the rule. What other sport finds the coach going live against their athletes in practice? Or, in actual competition - like Midlands? The number of good coaches who spend actual mat time with their wrestlers is a surprise to many not familiar with the sport. For many who pick a school with an accomplished coach the excitement of going live with that coach on the mat is part of the attraction. Guys went with Gable knowing they could roll with him on the mat. Myron Roderick, John Smith and so many others do/did the same. Not many swimming/football/basketball coaches go live with their athletes. A number of wrestling coaches do.

Spencer was very good on the mat. Impressive given his physical challenges with the knees. His downside is being known as a quitter. Can't win a 4th title, take my marbles and go home! He did not wrestle back, he quit. No matter the reason - he quit. Jordan Burroughs is a winner, plain and simple. Don't know if either can actually run a program and coach but would choose Burroughs any day over the Squawkeye.

"Even though Steveson is not a pinfaller" Pinner. He doesn't pin opponents. "pinfall" is the girlyman term for those who don't appreciate wrestling.

The Mormons will sue you for religious discrimination against their 2 year missionary tours. The Military may send a SEAL team to your house because this will have an effect on both active duty and veterans who may space out their college experience. Always hope for you, maybe Binnabutt needs an assistant?

Mats & Hats..., and a good wrestling program. Perfect for Gable Steveson. Almost surprised Cael isn't looking into the Portal to see if Coaches can move that way.

OSU has to work on how they look. Especially during matches with John Smith looking like a grumpy old guy who kicks cats and pees on neighbors bushes. On the upside Carter Young is tops in the All Cutie team - especially when his hair is longer. Teach Coach to smile sometimes and Young to grow his hair and maybe OSU will do a lot better. (I mean a real smile for John, not the serial killer grin)

Every STATE University should have a program. If a system, the premier School should have it, if not more of them. That a State like Texas fails to have Longhorn Wrestling is shameful. Don't know of Bo would have bee quite as good wrestling for them but forcing all those kids to go away is not good. Then we have Florida. Are gators GirlyMen afraid to roll around on the mats?

After looking at mats, logos & such Campbell Fighting Camels is tops. https://shopcamelgear.merchorders.com/ShopDetails.aspx?company=CAM&territory=cam1&category=headwear&subCategory=&productCode=6-38-YB1002&sub=3&multiLogoID=0&baseDirectory=CAM Just LOOK at that hat. Bolermakers, sqwakeyes..., even Banana Slugs don't have soch a good logo. A free hat alone is almost enough to get Steveson to Campbell University. No, I don't work for them and Yes, I did buy a hat, more than one..., actually. In checking they do have a good wrestling program and are a good school. Love the LOGO and the hat gets interesting comments.

He is going to do it. They will put in a ceiling camera so when he pins opponents they can make posters to sell - kind of like photos of Cassiu Clay knocking out Sonnly Liston. They will be big sellers and will give a big boost to his career as a pro 'rassler.

Gable Steveson is going to become a Campbell Fighting Camel. He likes the area and wants to give the School its first NCAA Champion. Insider sources say "forget the big programs" because he wants to wrestle on that big Camel mat.

Not having every weight represented is as stupid as Olympic weights cutting out world championship weights.

Why would anyone be surprised Brands, inc would want AJ on the team no matter what he has done? After all, both of them still wrestled for Foxcatcher after DuPont murdered Dave Schultz.

ELIMINATE the Technical Fall. If you can't pin the opponent you wrestle the full match - even if it ends up 72-3. Every wrestler knows they are in for a full match unless they get put on their back. Might help some of the "Lungers" to get in better shape for a full match. Sure would be nice if they also brought back the Three Minute periods for a full nine minute match.

The days of desperation are fully upon Team Brands.

Gable took over for Gary Kurdelmeier who had Iowa heading in the right direction. Never before had Iowa won an NCAA Title. Gary recruited Dan Gable and after four years and two NCAA tltles he turned the program over to him. https://hawkfanatic.com/2020/07/13/gary-kurdelmeiers-vision-and-unselfishness-helped-build-the-iowa-wrestling-dynasty/ Gable retired from Coaching and has said many times the reason was he could no longer roll on the mat with his wrestlers. Hip & knees - not being able to keep wrestling with his athletes was why he left. Cael is every bit as good as a coach but a very different personality. Might be a good clue as to whether he will keep on for another decade or more.

If he goes to Mexico we have Vito to thank. RBY isn't doing anything until he knows what weight Vito is entering so he can choose a different one.

John Smith was excellence on the mat. Training focus was every bit as intense as Dan Gable. Did Smith ever go with Gable in the room? Like Gable did with so many of his Iowa wrestlers of varying weights?

General studies major? Every body knows it is 90% mental, half physical and half coaching..., with success 100% guaranteed if you wear the right brand of shoes.

Watching older matches in Greco I saw years of Karelin lifting guys off the mat and throwing them over for back points. Why isn't anyone in freestyle able to do this? Was Karelin that much stronger than everyone else? Some freak of technique only he could do? Leg lace & gut wrenches are fine but a showy throw like Karelin did would put fear into many opponents mind with a wrestler who could nail them this way.

No More TechFalls. You wrestle to pin no matter how long it takes. So you win 82-0, unless you pin you keep wrestling the whole time. Bring back 9 minute matches.
