  1. Great work.....I vote for you, but only if you eliminate the term "pinfall"......can't it just be pins or falls???? Just image Sandy Stevens, Ed Alverti, Jason Bryant and more saying "winner by pinfall". And I can't imagine Ed Alverti saying "potential pinfall down on mat number 3!"
  2. Is it on Track dashboard??? I don't see it.
  3. Make the edit button great again. MEBGA
  4. Why haven't I heard anything of Bajrang Punia in some time????
  5. That's what I'm thinking.....maybe I'll get him out walleye fishing again now!!! Fadz
  6. Nate was a great hire....had a lot to offer, AND, he's one of the most decorated ISU alum's of all time. Nate's had an opportunity to coach David since he was young. This was a "win-win" for ISU and the Carr's. From a distance, it looked like Nate always let the ISU staff....Dresser, Metcalf and company coach David.......Nate was never "in the way". Great man/great son/great family.
  7. I didn't even look at pages 2-4, but I think it was a great move....David going to ISU where his dad became a 3 time NCAA Champions and Olympic Bronze Medalist. And for Nate to come along as coach of their regional training center was a very smart move.....Nate is very good technically (I learned a number of things from him myself), he has a great personality....has a lot to offer the program.
  8. I have said this for years.....anybody can shoot baskets or play catch with a football or baseball, but how many can just go out and wrestle....they might get dirty, break a sweat, rip their clothes and could easily get hurt. I watched WBB this year mainly due to the Caitlyn Clark and then the Reece deal, so that probably helped a lot. A good friend of mine, who was a great Hawkeye wrestler said he had never watched so much girls basketball. I remember in the early 70's, ABC, along with Frank Gifford, focused on Dan Gable, actually did a special on him and his training leading up to the games which included Ben and John Peterson. It did create some interest in wrestling nationwide, but it can't just be a one time thing. Gifford liked Gable so much, that he wrote a book called "Gifford on Courage" (which is in my coaching library). This book included Dan Gable. Also, most of the media people out there, didn't wrestle. Again, they have the basketball and football mentality. That doesn't help the cause. I have to say, the BTN was great this year, which helps and ESPN covered the whole NCAA tournament, but the average viewer isn't going to pay for, or follow wrestling when it's split up between ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU......I'm at NCAA's, and I tape it too, but most people aren't going to follow our tournament on three different formats. I also do think Flo and Track help us....although though they have a number of critics. It's too bad ESPN couldn't focus on a superstar in our sport, like Gabe Steveson, Aaron Brooks, Kyle Dake, Jordan Burroughs, David Taylor, etc. like they did Gable....it would be great for the upcoming Olympic Games, and wow, how about the upcoming Olympic Trials. Fadz (45 NCAA's/39 in a row and counting)
  9. But I'm looking for more than that! I'm looking out for the good of all of us!
