    John Smith Retires

    No. We have the same Mom and Dad, and brother and sister. And we shared a room growing up. But other than that, I barely know the guy.

    John Smith Retires

    A couple of obvious things to point out… 1) Congrats to John, one of America's greatest wrestlers, and coaches. Just an exemplary career both as an athlete and a coach. 2) He never beat me in high school. That’s a historical fact. I think it’s been weighing heavy on his mind all these...

    Off topic, and just a wild SWAG: Did you ever wrestle for OSU?

    OU changes

    Word is that foremost they want someone with head coaching experience. My guess is they’d also like him to be an OU guy. I’d like Storniolo if that’s the case. If not, there are some bigger names that I think are poachable. Cary Kolat for starters.

    OU Wrestling synopsis

    If we don’t have someone better in the room at 197, that’s gonna hurt not having Buchanan. Like I said, he’s probably a good guy but he needs to improve.

    OU Wrestling synopsis

    Yeah, getting beat by the #23 ranked team isn’t a good look. But I think there’s still some tinkering in our lineup. Especially in the upper weights. 157 - Jacob Butler started here, but got replaced for Jared Hill for I believe three of the four matches. 174 - #19 ranked Darrien Roberts who...

    Scuffle.

    I think your memory is very very good, as I remember all that up to his junior year, especially that he was so dominating on top. But I thought it was his downfall was he couldn’t get off the bottom. And that John made him take bottom on his choice. Again, I also could be wrong but that’s...

    Scuffle.

    Yeah…Brandon was a redshirt sophomore (third year guy) as an AA, and lost quite a few matches his junior and senior year because he didn’t have the mental ability to get off the bottom. I have no doubt the kid worked at it all the time as well…in practice, during live matches. He just never...

    Scuffle.

    If anyone remembers Brandon Mason, sophomore AA who struggled mightily to get off bottom, John would force him to take down so he could work on it during a match. Maybe John’s philosophy on that has changed, I don’t know..

    OU Wrestling synopsis

    Well, I was wrong a bunch. 125 - Prata was correct 133 - Forgot about Wyatt Henson. Glad he’s beating out a three year starter. That bodes well for OU 141 - Mosha looks like an upgrade over Butler from last year. But man, I hate to see Will McDougal out of the lineup. I wish he could get...

    It's Bedlam Week!!!

    You’re ugly and your feet stink? You have one eye, steel teeth, and the breath of a middle linebacker’s shoe? You could hold a friendship reunion in a phone booth? 😀

    Cowboy RTC Event

    OSU has an RTC. It’s called Stillwater High School. It’s where John stacks many of his recruits. 😀

    OSU vs. Minnesota is Gonna be Lit! 🔥

    Another way of saying it…if the ref had called it right in the first place, the Minnesota kid would have won outright fair and square.

    It's Bedlam Week!!!

    I’m going to disagree. Prata beat Mastro last year as well, and he was one round from being an All-American. I’m not saying he’s a sure-fire AA, but Prata’s got more than a puncher’s chance.

    Head Coaching change-Is now the right time?

    So... This is a spreadsheet of how both OU and OSU have fared at the NCAA Tournament every since 2000. For reference, I listed OU first, then OSU. I did it for an OU board, so suck it. :) Make out of it what you will. Obviously under coaching, it's only John for OSU. Feel free to check on...

    It's Bedlam Week!!!

    The question I have for OU is…what will we do with this from here? I mean, it’s a loss but it’s the best we’ve looked in quite awhile. The last two Big 12 conference tournaments we’ve looked good, but then absolutely crap the bed at the NCAAs. No momentum. I’d like to see OU use this as a...

    It's Bedlam Week!!!

    I'm in total shock OU didn't win 42-0!!!!! In all honesty, I told oberebo either OSU would win 26-9 and win all the toss-ups, or OU would win in a squeaker like 18-16. I was so close. Congrats to Surber for one of the most exciting Bedlam memories ever. Not as good as Kaid beating Brewer...
