So he lost a bet so you banned him?

It’s too bad you just couldn’t drop the it. You may have a valid reason but I wish it could have been let go.

Also I’m one who will intervene when someone is being picked on. I’m not in support at all over the constant shots on this one wrestling fan.

No not at all - just stats in general sir. I’ve watched and participated in enough matches where previous results were irrelevant. Just an observation here in this forum.

Promotion is key - I’m not satisfied with those currently in place who clearly lack the ability to advance the sport to where it needs to be. The “big” names then are no longer valid today, at least in my opinion. The Big10 meets my expectations over all others combined, including the NCAA.

You seem quite pleased it got to this point, huh. A guy some of us enjoyed, eliminated by a few individuals who deep down inside know they couldn’t hold a candle to his contributions. Even the big shot of you all chimes in every now and then which only reduced his credibility even more. Why hasn’t D1 Men’s collegiate wrestling advanced like other sports? Well down inside during quiet moments, YOU (those who hate this guy) know why - don’t you. Take your fancy excel stats and stick them where the sun don’t shine because at the end of the day any wrestler at any time can produce results inconsistent with past results.

I like the look but not the promo

Is Jimmy gone? Did you guys finally succeed in pushing him away for good?

District 11 certainly has been banging out one stud after the other over the years.

Sure sign him up.

Under PSU coaching staff even the back up wrestlers peak. Look at CStarr on the side lines happy for his team mate

The guy with the fusilli hair is going to be tough to beat in March

Wow I forgot this is on tonight- thanks feet2back!

I think the elite wrestlers with superiority over their opponents should have fun while kicking the crap out of them.

sums it beautifully.

What an embarrassment.

It’s just an observation I’m sharing with you, that’s all. The chorus of calls is coming from many different angles.

Who said anything about proving anything.

I used to teach this concept to my salespeople known as "212 The Extra Degree" and its applicable in work, sports and life in general. It involves giving it your all no matter what (in the case of wrestling - no matter how tired one may be). How many of the top tier IA guys have truly given it their all over the last few years? From my observations, many have not gone the extra degree to bring home an individual trophy, let alone an extra yard! The poster is right, its time for a change.

Check out this Iowa Forum thread started 1030pm last evening. This guy sums it up quite nicely. "Iowa Wrestling is Dead" "The key word is regression. It’s been a theme for years now. Great Freshmen, Sophmore, Junior wrestlers turn in to mince meat by their senior year. Even the GREAT Spencer Lee couldn’t get it done his senior year. Studs turn into duds. Pushing, plodding, and no aggression. No mat skills or awareness. It’s time for a change."

Who knew there were so many Paisans in D1 wrestling. I wonder which one prefers Neapolitan pizza over Margarita pizza or vice versa.

Carl just won his 200th duel meet in Carver - and he did it on their mat in their home and in front of their fans and family!
