He will be a home run assistant hire wherever he lands. Would have been on a short list of HC names for bigger programs.

Actually, he’s a top 5 hire…but he loves OSU.
Note that is a question not a statement.
I think it’s a phenomenal hire. He is a hard nosed, technical coach thats known for his ability to run a room, lead and develop
It is worth mentioning however that he is 42 years old and hasn’t consistently rolled with his guys everyday in quite awhile. I think we’ll see some help in that department.

We need @wrestleknownothing to turn this into a spreadsheet
I have been watching the John Wick movies. Please do not ask me to prove my fealty.
OK, here is a taste.
When you normalize the weights by era, 197 has had the most champions.
While 133 has had the most AA's, both in total and as a percentage (65.9%).
125, 184, and 197 are the only weights where fewer than half of all wrestlers have AA'd.

This reminded me of my two favorite Oklahoma State All-Americans.
In 1936 Gordon DuPree went 0-2 to come in third. He had also wrestled in 1933 and 1934, coming in third both times.
But ol' Gordo was not an innovator. That title goes to Dell Shockley who in 1929, after receiving a bye all the way to the final, also went 0-2 to place third. Realizing he had achieve perfection, he rode off into the sunset, never to be heard from again.

I have an excel spreadsheet with all this info that I've been keeping since spreadsheets/computers became mainstream in the mid 80's but I have no idea how or where to share it. It's pretty big.
Note to Know-Nothing:
I've been in contact with the people who are keeping up the Lehigh portion of WrestlingStats since Jay Hammond died trying to find all the data that he had on the OSU area of the site. I got and email from Kerry McCoy, no less, saying he didn't know who has it but he would check around but I haven't heard anything (months ago).
Do you have access to this info? Hammond seemed to have all of the won/lost/scoring data for every wrestler's matches. Before the site went down I downloaded Sheets, Monday and J.Smith data. That's all I have.

Did anyone see Mineo's post about the money behind the Iowa program?
Here's the post

Raneys update
why do you capitalize words so much? Because it stands out to the eye better, makes it more readable to get his post inside 30 seconds of reading time.

I read that the other day when I was scouring the message boards. Surprised he put that out there, he's obviously a bigger Brands fan than Iowa fan.
Thank you for compiling these numbers for us! Sincerely appreciated.OK, here is a taste.

You are welcome. There will be more to come next week.
I find that to be an odd stance on Slumlord's part. I don't recall any other large donor in any sport at any other school that isn't school first. If I'm the school admin, I'd be concerned about institutional control. I say that because if your highest priority as a donor isn't the school, then the rules the school must live by can become less important in the equation. Not saying that's happening but I'd be concerned. From the outside looking in it appears that Slumlord has too much control over the program.
Boone Pickens had some very real say so.
But let’s not rock the boat. It’s best for all involved not Iowa, for them to continue on current paths.
For real. Bob gets attention because he posts on their board. Silly to think this doesn’t happen behind closed doors often.
Boone was about the University, football and athletics not individual coaches or faculty. Pretty sure his first gift was academics.
