PSU only has the 9th biggest "warchest". Ohio State has the biggest. https://www.on3.com/news/usa-today-releases-top-25-total-revenue-college-athletics-programs/

I bet it's not the state that's building it.

Never say never. Money has a way of talking.

The state of Oklahoma doesn't have two nickels to rub together, the halfwits running the state have completely gutted the tax base. They are talking about making school only 4 days a week in the future as a money saving plan, in addition to other things. I think OU does have the richest alumnus that I'm aware of, Roger Frizzell. He was a 4 time AA back in the day, battling guys like Kenny Monday and Nate Carr. I read somewhere that he's got a few hundred million (he was an airline CEO for a long time). I don't know if he'd be interested in buying OU a competent wrestling team.

He may well thrive at 197. He can eat as much as he wants and feel as strong as a horse at that weight. It could cost him some quickness if he adds too much fat (or too much muscle!).

Askren seems like an Ivy League guy. I bet he's taking over at Yale.

In Freestyle.

I guess OSU's admin have been reading my messages on this forum for the last year or so and decided to go with a new name. The problem is this: we still don't know if Taylor can actually...you know...COACH. I sure hope (and believe) he can.

Not everybody can follow Valenti's route, winning two D1 NCAA titles is a pretty big ask

Wrong. Figures the bad guys in black would get the facts wrong, again. Alirez, Parco, and Teemer all want to wrestle for Coleman Scott and are transferring to OSU. Hendrickson has outgrown Air Force regulation size and is transferring to PSU and using an Olympic RS (he'll be the starter after Kerkvliet graduates).

Can you imagine how bad she'd beat his short ass at a game of one on one. She'd bat down all of his shots

I thought your boner was Desanto (or Tom Brands).

That's because styles make matches.

He brought several kids with him from his old job. None of them did anything exciting but they at least plugged a few holes in the lineup. I think it's going to be hard for him to get the support of the alumni since Kish doesn't have Okie connections and I think his recruiting in the state of Oklahoma will be tough.

Parity sucks. Parity is boring. We need a colossus for most of the wrestling fans to rally against. Today PSU is gnawing at Iowa's corpse and buzzards are waiting to feast. But eventually the PSU lion will age, weaken, and be killed in it's own right. Then another predator will rule.

I'm sure a lot of kids in other countries would love the chance to get out of some of those places and if wrestling punched their ticket they'd be thrilled to wrestle over here.

I like mat wrestling too much to want college to switch to FS. I think Tom's idea above is pretty good, but I'd like the top guy to get more time than 10 seconds to work. Maybe 20 seconds would be better? Also, I thought a guy had to get at least one 3 point NF in the match to score a techfall?

Pletcher was a stud though. I like watching shorter guys wrestle long wrestlers. Usually the short guy is jacked and explosive, which is pretty good compensation for giving up length. Those long kids who have learned how to use their length are nasty though. Makes for an interesting contrast in styles

Chaz is 5'2" tall. Still, he towers over Conrad Henrickson. I think Conrad is about 4'11".

Is this him now?

Isn't Smith about a foot shorter than Clint? Hold on, I think I have a picture of them together.

How many 4 timers has Iowa produced?
