This is true, his cows are a lot more like hoofed dogs.

Not necessarily, the cattle rearing process is impressively segmented, cattle could be at new placed once ever 6-12 months depending on what they are being raised for.

Hamiti is having a great time with all of this.

Hahaha no not yet, but if two of the big three coach the “gentle way”, and we know they will out-develop the black and yellow squad, it’s only a matter of time. The more kids can have fun with their wrestling, the better it is for the sport.

Purely metaphorically, not actual UMich guys, just dudes who you look at and would expect to be able to handle bc 40 pounds is a big difference, but the force production they create is just on another level.

I’ve wrestled some wolverine mfers who felt like they were made of wood. I have watched gabe dean’s eyes after he got absolutely rag dolled by kyle dake. There are levels to human beings. A man who had 40 lbs on dake, and a man who finished 3-1-1-2 at ncaa’s. People tell the same stories about John Smith from the 2000’s in the OSU room. I think Mike Mal said it best. “Eric Guerrero would ragdoll me, just embarrass me, I can’t move him a foot, and then he would go with John, and he would look like he’d never wrestled a day in his life.” So yes, I believe those stories. Our ego’s don’t want us to believe those stories. Video evidence is helping keep our egos in check.

This is definitely along the lines of the right thinking. Who the hell does Iowa even have in their alumni pool, looks like their only bet now is to just continue the gremlin train and give the program to spencer when he’s done internationally? But they are a gold medal program, no olympic gold, no head coaching position (zalesky being the obvious “whoopsy” along the way, they would be so much better off if Tom got the reigns from the get go).

I love mark hall, but he's so done with the sport, he has been for years. I was thinking Dake as the new Cowboy RTC head, would be more respectful of his experience. Taylor and Dake would be an incredible pair, Dake is the best mind in US wrestling beside Cael, but I don't know how good he is at teaching that to others. The quintessential good wrestler vs good coach question. We know he'll be able to kick everyone's ass in the room though. That was the standard that made the old Gable Iowa room work. No matter who you were, Gable would still be able to kill you.

That would be so awesome and wholesome, and would be the official end of the angry head coach era in US wrestling.

Well, he's basically the guy who Cael built the binder around. Even if he can't bring it with him, he lived most of it, and was part and parcel for a good part of the pioneering of a lot of what led to the 100 point spread this year. He just needs to bring himself, he is the binder.

This will 100% save the sport in the long term. Taylor is bringing knowledge of the entire PSU playbook, and it is at least going to be available in two rooms now instead of just one. This just saved the quality of NCAA wrestling 5 years from now, and US international competitiveness 8 years from now.

DT, Kennedy and either Askren as an Assistant would be an electric coaching staff. That would give Cael major problems going forward. I'd also like to take a moment to acknowledge that DT has just spent his last day wrestling and training in the Penn State room. That is truly the end of an incredible era. I will enjoy what's to come, and I am happy for the health of the sport, but this is really going to be some anakin-->vader levels of transition for some of the biggest people in the sport. Also, lol...coleman scott has also just been informed that he was in fact the squirrel beneath the tire. Sorry to say it but he's not going to have a place in that room besides scheduling buses. I'd start shooting my resume around to those open positions in a serious hurry if I were him.

Can we please take a moment to once again reflect on how marvelously wrong CP and the Flo clowns were once again.

Same...I did not see that coming in a million years.

Lol, it was the ASU athletic department that did it in house...

Zahid always gives off major wanderlei silva "duck out the side door" vibes, and I still have a sneaking suspicion that Zeke Jones enabling him the whole way through was another contributing factor to Sunkist becoming past tense. The fact that ASU, arguably the nations largest party school, had to step in and take him off the team for partying too hard says everything we ever needed to wonder.

I hope that’s not the case, especially with the incredible double standard the US enforced (or pretends to enforce) on its athletes in international competition. This would also smell so badly of home cooking.

Always remember, don’t sleep on Kale. In the 90’s pizza hut was the biggest purchaser of kale because they used it as decoration at their buffets. Now look how far the humble leafy green has gotten…

I am surprised at how bummed I am to hear DT might turn down the OSU job. That would be such a boost to the sport. My family members who know comparatively little about wrestling were pumped to hear about this interview process happening.

Someone will take him onboard no problem. He’s a big enough name for a tier 1B team, and he did some serious development at UNC. Someone will be interested. Maybe he can be the next head coach at stanford. The move is starting to look worse and worse for him though.

I very much anticipate this happening. And really, the administration has already soured their relationship with him, and continue to do so with each passing day that they don’t name him head coach. Schools and admin teams know when they have their guy, bc they pull the trigger. This really is an all or nothing deal, bc if they don’t get taylor, now coleman undoubtedly has to have some feelings about this, may even be putting out feelers, because taylor may have designs on who he wants in that position as well. Oh the irony if CS is the USAWrestling freestyle development coach a year from now.

There is no more heart button, which is exactly what this should be for. Couldn’t agree more.

Please remind me....how did the US do in the 1980 olympics?

Hopefully we see a Sun Devil RTC popping up, minus mr jungle nose candy and mr grabby grabs. I hope zeke is a nice coach, but that dude is also an undeniable enabler.

Hard to say it, but probably a lot of input from Lesnar early on, and then insufficient guidance/Lesnar hanging up his boots around the time Steveson really got going. It’s no coincidence that lesnar is from the same program and steveson decided to try WWE. The tough part is steveson has the athleticism that you would expect from lesnar, when lesnar was just a pincussion who got paid to yell at a crowd a couple hundred times a year.
