What about Greg Wojciechowski from Toledo?

Mike McCready from UNI?

You are correct! I did enjoy the few moments Rutgers being in the conversation.

There is a topic to this conversation? Crap, I was just glad it wasn't PSU, Iowa, or Okie State talk. I think there are other college wrestling teams. Yeah, not much to talk about with most of the "others". I guess I will just go back to work. I can't wait for October. SIGH.

Yeah when the camera pans the crowd, it almost looks like the crowd at an NBA game.

I too wouldn't say that I was "missing it Bob"!

So here is my pipe dream event for this coming season, a quad with....Penn State, Okie State, Iowa, Iowa State. Each team gets 3 duals in a single day! The name of the event...The Fans Duals! Yes, I know that it won't happen but my TPS reports are late and I am not motivated enough to get on them. Have a great day!

Or does Cael bring out one of his other brothers?

Thank you! I was not aware the he was a backup DT at OSU!

I don't think he was a backup. He was one of the few who competed for Iowa and Okie State. He was not able to win it all while wearing black and gold, but was able to win it all while wearing black and orange. There have been a few articles written on the few guys that have been center stage at both of those historical programs. To me, it is quite interesting.

It isn't the normal path taken by D1 coaches.

Here is a list of available coaches that Willie put on X: Chris Perry, Coleman, Mike Evans, Mark Hall, Tyler Berger, and Hayden Hidlay. I am not sure if his list was created before Mark took the Dir of Wrestling Operations at OU. Is Mike Evans out of a job or just available?

How many other D1 college coaches have taken the Director of Wrestling Operations job, before becoming a Head Coach?

I hope you are right. If they don't make it work, Texas will never get another D1 program.

Southern Illinois is a perfect example

He beat Purdon't once didn't he? Or some Indiana D3 program maybe.

Schopp is back in the Boro! How long do you think he has to wait for Hill to move on? They have struggled since Flynn left. I hope he is the spark to get them back on track.

Might be in the water in Stillwater. Case in point is Eric Guerrero.

I like Flynn and what he is doing at WV, but you might be onto something.

Why settle for AD when he could be the school's President.

Some counties in Oklahoma have been on a 4 day week for school for several years now. It depends on the county, but some don't start going to the 4 day week until after New Year's and other areas go a 4 day week all school year. Mind you, that I'd not in the entire state of Oklahoma.

Most likely someone who has not been mentioned on this board.

I understand that the off season is very rough on us, but man this is BAD.

When do we start referring to Iowa as "Portal U"?
