That's a valid point.Originally posted by MitchL:
I think ISU will need an upgrade in their lightweight coaching staff to see vast improvement for the 125/133/141 guys. Just my opinion.
Tonight at 7. But I digress because I am more of an Iowa State wrestling fan than I am an Iowa State men's basketball fan.Originally posted by Hawks1010:

We should beat Northern Iowa if our lower weights would pull their weight. I'm actually slightly impressed with our upper weights.Originally posted by augvol:
What about VaTech? Or UNI? Does anyone think that those are possible "W"s for ISU? Discuss.

I have been around since (almost) the beginning of time and have never seen State's wrestling program this down. Clone Faithful: What is the answer?

Ooooch, just read about the pounding the Gophers put on the Clones, was 34-6 and ISU is now 0-7. Way to go Andrew with a good win over #8 Yohn and also kudo's to Spangler with his victory over the #10 kid. I feel good about the Hawkeye chances of returning the favor and doing some Rodent Pounding in the Big 10 SEASON !!

I think all get it now and correct me if I am wrong. KJ and Yero are horrible college coaches or coaches in general and they need to be done away with so some other coach can come in and get the program back to National contention in one year or less.
From what I have read and the conversations I have had with the people it matters to the most, true ISU fans, they are not happy with the current results but are understanding of what it will take to make it back to the top,and a chance for national contention. From what I have gathered is the faithful are giving it at least one more season and 2 tops for more major results. No excuses can be taken at this time. I personally think things are looking on the up. Am I pleased with what is transpiring now? NO!! But I must continue to tell myself the team was stripped to the bone, among other bad things that have come about to cause an already bad situation into the perfect storm.
I will not begin to compare coaches or any hypothetical situations but one thing I do know is all great programs take dips and then bounce back. This is our dip and it is all up from here!! Best wishes to all the young men that will be wrestling at the Midlands!!
Finally, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, even to you MitchL hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season!!
