Zalesky had 1 year where they placed 6th, youre exaggerating numbers. Zalesky, like Brands was consistently in the top 5. Ive stated facts. Dresser has done more with VATech and ISU than Brands has done with Iowa. If Brands was at ISU, they would not be close to what they are today. And yes I am giving a world of credit to Dresser for the 1 year because again he revived a DEAD and GUTTED program to bring it past Iowa only to have Brands do everything possible to not wrestle them. These are facts you refuse to recognize. Please take a look at where each program was when Brands and Dresser took over their respective teams and see where they are now. Dresser has improved his teams. Brands has come full circle and worse with his.

Theres needs to be irrefutable evidence to overturn a call. If it takes them more than 1 min of looking at the video replay the evidence is obviously not irrefutable. Refs are making these calls live and in realtime. The review team should not have virtually unlimited time to make these reviews. Call on the mat should stand.

Is he really the second most success? Since the PSU run started in 2011 hes won 1 title, and finished 2nd twice. Its arguable that Tom Ryan has had just as much success as hes had more 2nd place finishes during the same time. I dont really understand how people say Iowa has consistently been the 2nd best team behind PSU, when theyve only finished 2nd twice behind PSU since 2011..

I am and 100% being consistent. PSU has more to work with NOW, because Cael built it up. He earned it and "you get what you earn" Brands has less than Cael because he has not built Iowa up. "Younget what you earn" He had a 3 peat run with his dual recruiting class after completely gutting VATech, then the fell back to exactly where they were under Zalesky. He had a brief run where he road the coattails of Spencer Lee and quite hinestly completely mismanaged his health. Lee would have been a 3x champ anywhere, and i mean that literally. Dresser resurrected 2 dead programs. Both VA Tech and ISU were better under Dresser than when he took over. They didnt waver and dip down to where they were when he started. Cannot say the same for Brands with Iowa. I never said Brands was better. In fact I'm saying Brands is not better. After Dresser rebuilt VAtech, Brands refused to wrestle them and politick his way out of wrestling thenpm at National duals because he knew Iowa would lose. So youre right, Dresser never beat Brands in a dual.

Dresser has had much less to work with than Brands. Hes revitalized 2 "dead" programs. Even at Iowa's worst, they have always been amongst the top programs. I would say flip the 2 scenarios, Iowa would be in a much better position than it is today. Dresser has never had a season that was worse than when he started. Brands has had 2.

So dont use PSUs funding as the reason why theyre great. The funding is great because theyre doing great.

Its good to know youre so knowledgeable about who who and what makes a good coach. You must be like the greatest athletic director in the universe. ,aybe Iowa should put you in charge of finding replacing Tom Brands. Youre right youre not my buddy, you are an arrogant pretentious punk.

Personally I love it. I think DC is hilarious and entetaining. He certainly does say some goofy stuff. I also think Rock Harrison talks a bit too much. Its great that he explains the rules and such but he uses way too many words and over explains when doing so.

I think theres some rule where youre not eligible to win it again after a certain number of years...

I always felt he should have been down at 125.

Someone certainly is salty. Cael is the best raw coach. Bottom line. Get over it buddy.

Yes i know, but he was writing off Dressers success at ISU, so i was pointing out he did it previously as well elsewhere.

Yes but the entire state of PA is not funding the PSU program. The general public doesnt know or care about wrestling, even in PA. Spencer Lee has gone on recordsaying , being a wrestler in Iowa makes you a semi celebrity. Furthermore again, Iowa has a longer deeper traditon of success when it comes to collegiate wrestling. One would think that with decades of wrestling success, they would have no problems with getting an overabundance of funding. Arent there any people who graduate from Iowa that go on to become filthy rich?

Definitely agree he was best as a freshman.

He did finish ahead of Iowa several years ago while at VATech.

And why do you think hes the best funded? Its a symptom of his success, not the cause. Really if it was all about funding, with Iowa's deep and rich history why cant decades of Iowa alumn generate the same level of if not a greater level of funding? I mean wrestling at PSU only started in the summer of 2009 right?

Forgot Vincenzo Joseph Stanford/ASU

I agree. His wife has a business there, DT has a thriving club, owns a farm and various businesses and is raising a family. Cael moving to PSU feels different. Did he and his wife have other obligations tying him to the area that he had to give up to take the PSU job? That being said, if DT were to take over at IOWA, I would probably become an Iowa fan overnight at he is my all time favorite wrestler, similar to how I like PSU. Im a Cael fan and if he ever left PSU, I would follow him wherever he went.

Funny, i found him saying what he actually thinks great! Nice to hear actual thoughts even if i disagree with certain points he makes.

Hall and Pearsall at UPenn, Ruth and Illinois. Mollinaro at Rutgers/ASU.

Is he really though? Since 2011 when PSU's run of team titles started his teams have finished 2011 3rd 2012 3rd 2013 4th 2014 4th 2015 2nd 2016 5th 2017 4th 2018 3rd 2019 4th 2020 Cancelled but presumably 1st 2021 1st 2022 3rd 2023 2nd 2024 5th So using imperfect science of removing PSU would have garnered them 2 more team titles than they currently have, mean while Cornell would have 2 titles, okie state, Minnesota, TOSU would all have a few team titles sprinkled in there.. its kind of tough to say hes consistently the 2nd best when theres only 2 2nd place finishes since 2011... and even if he is, i don't think hes that far ahead to say hes been definitively the 2nd best...

Hes definitely qwerky. Kind of like a 90s cartoon character

Me too

I agree, but it still wouldnt shock me. I think 133 would be a natural weight for him, but i dont see him filling that spot.

One of the stupidest things is being able to challenge a call thats already been reviewed.
