Soapbox time.
Y’all are drunk on sour grapes saying this stuff about Daton. “He hasn’t gotten better. He needs to go somewhere else.”
First it’s crazy to advocate as a OSU fan that our number one guy, a real legacy OSU dude with a 99% winning record, LEAVE OUR SCHOOL. Are you kidding me? Don’t you want him here? Do you support OSU? Do you enjoy watching dominant and entertaining wrestlers? I sure do, Daton, please keep your national finalist and world medalist and All American butt kicking ways here. Second, saying he hasn’t improved as a wrestler is also some real bonkers nonsense. I’ve watched dang near all his matches at OSU and this last year he was clearly faster, stronger, and smarter than in previous years. To write off literally four years of the guy’s wrestling is not only rude and dismissive, it also tells me that you can’t get past your own personal disappointment with the fact that he dared to have a handful of matches where he wasn’t 100%. Good lord I mean it’s one thing to speculate “how would Daton do elsewhere” but the answer is he might get worse and I sure don’t want to find out! I want the best guys on our team and he is… the top guy. It’s a no freaking brainer. Do I want him to win a title, absolutely. Will I shrug him off for not winning one, no way! Just bananas and disrespectful IMO.
Now line up to accuse me of being a simp or whatever. I get the complaints, I’m right there with you, but at some point WE ALL GET IT. I too think maybe we should start a thread where people can complaint because it’s honestly a little frustrating to have the gripes take over every discussion we have about OSU wrestling. If you can’t enjoy the sport or support the team through tough times then that’s your choice, but stop continually ruining every thread in our discussion board.
