Your team podiumed for, I think, the 14th time in 16 years under Brands and folks are creating threads about firing him.

we have high standards
Heard Carter say something in his post interview about dance lessons. What kind of dance?
Particularly when 44 of Cornell's 76.5 points came from wrestlers recruited by Koll and who graduated high school in 2017.
don't know much about religion but I do about PSU wrestling!I will stick with that!
That means that Iowa and Ohio State our are BITCHES and will be for the next five years again with the killas we are bringing in!! To avoid continued humiliation Iowa and Ohio State should consider dropping their programs immediately!
Ummmmmm. No. Cael took a team that finished 16th in 2009 and won in 2011. Cornell was 7th in 2019 and 2022 and went to 3rd this year. Not even close to comparable.
Exactly, saying Mohammed is a "False Prohpet" isn't "intolerance", it's fundamentally what all Judeo-Christians believe. Christians are fundamentally Jews by religion (Christ was a Rabbi and taught Jewish Law) - the original "Christians" were Jewish by both blood and religion. Essentially, Christians are Jews (by religion - some by both religion and blood) who believe Christ was the Messiah (Messiah is the Jewish term for "Annoited One", which is precisely what Christ means in Greek - many early Christian Bibles were written in Greek). In Rome, prior to Constantine, the Romans made no distinction between followers of Christ and "Orthodox Jews" (Jews who believed Christ was a Rabbi but not the Messiah) as being Jewish by faith (celebrating any religious faith inside Rome was a criminal offense punishable by death in ancient Rome prior to Constantine - and the Romans put many followers of Christ and Orthodox Jews to death in the Lions Den, among other ways, for celebrating the Jewish Faith inside Rome's walls). Saying that a couple billion people are "intolerant" for believing Mohammad is a "False Prophet" is ridiculous.
Who are you gonna get if you fire the poison dwarfs? Jim Zalensky? Who you gonna get better that TnT? You will never get Cael, he hates you too much! You guys are stuck behind us until Cael decides to hang it up!!
I think being a 5 timer is a huge legacy marker. The fact only 2 classes (2021 fresh, RS) had a chance to win 5 in time will mean nothing. First couple years after the Steiber v Oliver finals you would hear more than an occasional mention of Oliver had the 2 and actually won the match. A decade plus later Steiber is an honored member of a very small group of 4 timers. Win 5, and for the rest of Starocci 's life any public introduction will include "the ony 5 time time champion". There will no disclaimers attached.
I always thought it would be Juniata College.

They mentioned Charlotte on one of the matcast broadcasts, I really wish NC would bid on a few of these. I am thinking 3 days at Pinehurst followed by 3 days of wrestling.
If San Diego St could start a program I think San Diego would be great.
Phoenix with ASU as the host school would be perfect.
I do understand you have no personal interest, and it would simply be in the interest of growing the sport.
Since you are mostly accustomed to 3rd place finishes, which through repetition has got to be the ingrained standard I would assume you all would be celebrating a highly successful tournament. Hell, in a 3 year stretch (1, 3, 2) you guys have outplaced your standard twice. Yet it is a collective "woah is me" cry my eyes dry party. You all need to cheer up and celebrate your team's accomplishments!
Lost by 55 points and reduced to being haters on the same level as everyone else. Comical
Gray was Koll's lead assistant and part of recruiting all of those guys. Cael had nothing to do with recruiting Q, Ed, Frank, Pataky, Wade, and most of the depth.
If you think Gray shouldn't have won this year -- I agree. Find a better reason than Cornell's talent procurement that you cited.
Rumors swirling that Spencer went to an Indian reservation in Oklahoma and the tribe named him Spends Time on Back.
Interesting. There is a time and place for everything. This isn’t the place.
I will say - and I’m in no way stating my opinion on how things are run - that I have had more than a passing vision of somebody in the PSU admin mulling over if/how Aaron’s expression on national TV should be handled.
I wanna express my sincere condolences to the Labriola family. I am so sorry for your loss but must give you two snaps up for the funky pallbearers!!! Setting a new funeral style standard!
“I dance on your grave” kind of dance. 😀
I heard it was coming along nicely but they got…..stuck on the ending.
How about just let it go. We have free speech in this country. Aaron can express his views anyway he wants. There have been seventeen Catholic priests murdered in Nigeria alone in the past year and half by our Muslim "brothers"? The last was one was burned alive last month! Sorry if we Christians are not feeling all warm and friendly towards the teaching of Mohammed and his disciples!!

Not a fan of “poison dwarfs”, but to respond to the question, I think some were talking David Taylor or Jason Nolf, believe it or not.
It was a joke from the old tOSU press release stating that the buckeyes and Nittany lions had combined to win the past x number of championships
I saw that and almost spit out my drink!! A PSU grad might end up coaching at Iowa but those 2 seem among the least likely. I would be floored if that ever happened
I agree and I would like for Carter to see it that way too, but if he doesn’t, he doesn’t. I understand his point that winning the Olympics would make NCAAs somewhat less meaningful having already won it 3 (if he shirts) or 4 times. That said, I find it hard to believe he’s going to beat Dake, Burroughs and Nolf (I understand he has beaten Nolf) for the spot. But I wouldn’t bet money against him either.

Getting practically doubled up in team scoring should be reason enough to not be the coach of the tournament.

Iowa's next head coach coming from the Cael Sanderson tree?
@johnstownsteel definitely wouldn't point that out every year on HR. Not a chance.
I'm hoping there is even more religion and politics at next year's NCAAs. 🤪
Between the Bible beating & the Orange Menace in attendance, the cringe factor was approaching a tipping point.

I couldn’t have been clearer about where I was and wasn’t coming from. Honor my non-judgmental, simply observational, free speech. Okay?
The night b4 they announced Cael as the new PSU coach I was told it is now a done deal and Cael Sanderson would be announced tomorrow as the new wrestling coach. I responded by saying "bullshyt, why in the hell would he ever leave his alma mater?"
You never know what opportunities will present themselves, nor the motivation that drives decisions.
You have to look at it properly. If DT were to be named Iowa's new coach the Hawkeye's would instantly become one of my more appreciated programs. Plus the fun of daily reminders on HR that it had to be the magic unicorn from PSU that was sent to save them. It had always been part of Carl's plan to make Iowa wrestling "FUN"!Good point. I wish I hadn’t read it, though.
Pretty different situations if you ask me. There wasn’t a big rivalry between ISU and PSU and Cael came because PSU was a sleeping giant situated in the middle of the hotbed of wrestling. DT or Nolf going to Iowa would be shocking. I don’t think that’s a controversial statement. Could it happen? I guess, because anything can happen but to me it’s as unlikely as Bushwood saying he was wrong about his “rules” interpretations
Iowa has a storied history, 15,000 at home meets and Dairy Queen ice cream with sprinkles. Plus, nobody would ever see it coming.
I don't think it happens, just saying on a daily basis we enjoy the results of something 14 years ago we would have deemed preposterous.
