I’m just wondering what this forum has to do with any fanbase. There’s like 100 people here on a busy day. Most fanbases IRL are pretty similar, well meaning alums and townies with a few drunks and jerks mixed in.

Nobody screwed him over. It was his choice to leave and coach with his mentor. And it was clear from the time he arrived that no promises were made to him, verbal or otherwise. I’m sure Perry wanted the HC job too but it’s a state school, everybody had to interview for the position.

Guess that’s why I lol’ed at the original post. It’s an entirely subjective and pointless definition.

I lol’ed at it too. Gable wrestled real mean and is the only one I’d describe as a killer but hey.

Because they’re usually resharing some stuff they read in a discussion forum and know that it’s likely not true but just want to participate.

Swear I saw one of the Brands bros spit at the ref at the last Iowa OSU dual lol

I believe everything I read on the internet. ALL OF IT My favorite rumor recently was the screenshot of David Taylor's redacted plane ticket to OK. Pretty silly of him to fly to OK when OSU's AD was flying to PA!

They should skip all of these safe hires and just have the Ferrari clan run the team.

It'd be really interesting if a bunch of Smith's wrestlers-turned-coaches joined the same staff. I'd have another team to root for! Lol

Now I just want cinnamon rolls with agave syrup. Mmmmmm

Yeah how about a maturity contest. Nobody gives a sh** that you sent an edgy tweet. not a huge fan of Cowboys mouthing off on social media. Unprecedented hype or not, I want to see them stay classy as a lifelong Pokes fan. That ain’t how we roll unless it’s trash talking OU lol

Lol not sure this is a relevant fear for someone contemplating taking the reigns at OSU. 30+ years ago, at least 5 ADs ago...

Just to add on, the entire western half of the state is very mountainous with occasional river basins.

There should be a style that only allows lower-body takedowns... no tie-ups. We'll call it Ocerg Kind of trolling, but kind of not

This is the right answer Though grow the fan base and you grow the number of potential jerk fans There's no winning in this game :)

Haha I was going to say "perpetually online forumites that use the sport as an excuse to talk trash". Similar vein!

This board overreacts. A push out point is one option to address the subjectivity of edge-of-mat stall calls. More wrestlers would learn dive unders and ways to not get moved with their leg up in the air. It's also an option to get rid of edge-of-mat stall calls altogether.

This happened in Cox vs Carroll. Cox didn't do jack, got put on the clock, Carroll couldn't score got put on the clock, Cox wins on criteria. Interlocking fingers got called about half the time, other half the refs ignore it. Maybe they didn't see? After takedowns there was anywhere from 5-15 seconds given for par terre. Not real consistent. As with folkstyle in freestyle you can't let the ref decide the winner. Tough when so many of these cats are super high level athletes. But I did see enough ref interference in these matches to think maybe there were decisions made as to who they wanted to send to the Olympics.

That was a screwy deal for sure. I don't think John did it to help his kid... Joe had higher scoring potential at NCAAs and won the ranking match. Chandler was exciting and a pinning threat always but not an All American threat, while Joe at his peak was a 2x AA and hanging within a point of Mark Hall. However Joe didn't certify at the weight to start the season, so you can definitely argue that there should not have been a late season ranking match.

Mat 3 camera not showing mat 3 Mat 3 camera blinking out once a second Audio feed glitching constantly This sucks to watch lol

Exactly. Some guys didn't improve but there are guys on each roster that did. Preston Weigel and Derek White were both on Kaid Brock's team and those guys went from nothing to the NCAA finals. The reason I want a new coach is so OSU can have someone driving the ship that is genuinely on board with new paradigms in the sport.

Yes it sounds terrible

https://www.cowboywrestlingclub.com/ In it's second year.

Hasn't John been doing wrestling camps every year for forever? If so then tons of young wrestlers know who he is. "Stoolwater". Lol. Stillwater is a flavor for sure but it's more similar than not to the countless other ag-based college towns in this country.

I didn't watch the NCAA tournament this year. After Big 12s this year I realized that tournaments suck to watch. I mean yeah it's cool to have the multiview and see a bunch of matches at the same time, but if you're following a team or athlete at all then it's primarily a waiting game. But you still have to check websites and apps and whatnot every half hour to know what's coming. It's annoying to do this for a one day tournament, much less a two day tournament, much less a three day tournament. It's dumb. Dual championships would surely have higher viewership because it's a set time/length, would happen at times that most people can watch, so much easier to consume for fans and casuals.
