Context is important. We have 2 starters (1 AA and 1 NC) out with season-ending injuries, 2 starters wrestling through significant injuries, and half of our lineup in this tournament are freshmen (1 true freshman, 3 redshirt freshmen). We're getting beat down this tourney, yes, but the important part is if we fold or bounce back stronger moving forward.
I don't want to support a Program that outs a man that has done so much for OSU Wrestling/OSU because he fails to win National Titles...with a juggarnaut controlling the tourney, year after year. I don't really support now, but I would like to.
Thank you.
John being a Great wrestler should have nothing to do with his Coach performance evaluation every year. He is not bigger than the Brand period. I love John but No employee of OSU should ever be untouchable.
As someone else noted, this is a delicate situation. Smith's blessing is essential bc --it seems to me -- the best bet for a successor would come from his coaching tree (btw Pendleton looks pretty good right now though Stillwater vs the Pacific Northwest would be a hard sell for me (whose opinion that Stillwater's livability compares poorly with ... pretty much anywhere except Little Rock has any bearing on anything)).
Not to get too off topic but the Pacific Northwest has pros and cons like anywhere else. I lived there for 4 years. Great place, interesting scenery, loved my time there, but not the paradise it’s sometimes idealized as. For example the constant rain/grey/damp/mold/darkness for the majority of the year. People are so starved for sunshine they run outside when the sun peaks through the clouds. And your shoes are always wet. One year we didn’t have a summer - not a single evening warm enough to wear shorts and a T shirt.
He would also say he's not bigger than the brand, so you mistook my post in many ways.
We can make a joke about it but give Schwab our talent and I would like to see what he can do.I am past being average and content.
You hit the fallacy trifecta: Ad Verecundiam; Cum Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc; and ...
You are exactly 100% on the shit company deal. They have a horrible Vision and are completely clueless how to be the best so that’s why I kicked them to the curb and I will be putting my 40th Truck on the road in Mid April and just completed my 1st housing development ( 31 homes ) from start to finish sold last home on Wednesday . Standing around trying the same damn thing over and over that brings you no titles in 16 years doesn’t work . The people who make the big money for OSU get paid to figure it out so more power to them.
Yes. And Kenny Monday’s 157 lb son is in the Semis for Princeton. Life will still go on if they leave.
Dustin Plott was 3 points behind with less than a minute left and tied it up and then he got the takedown in overtime. Great win for Plott.
