Exactly! Ban the clown already.
Does Tom Brands make his wrestlers better?

Cael Derangement Syndrome is real - and manifests itself in strange ways.
the real question is,does he make them worse!!
Do you still post here? Wanted to tell you I can relate. You made a post, everyone... Hawk and PSU fans alike poke fun at you and then a few years later you are proven right all along. If you don't post here anymore let me give you some advice...change your stance on that. Ya gotta trust me on this but playing the "long game" is so much more fun. And if your goal is to just make Hawk fans look dumb, it's always the most fulfilling...even if a few PSU fans end up becoming collateral damage.

Not going down that road. I saw you guys talking about it on HR and I didn't say a word.
Drinking, trauma and drama is a generalized synopsis. Not a specific reference. Next subject
If it brings more Maddens and fewer Turks, sure.
A great American once said that TOM BRANDS MAKES HIS WRESTLERS HATE WRESTLING.
I know I don’t speak for everyone else on this forum, but I don’t really have a problem with Turk. Like several thousand other people, he’s a frustrated Iowa fan. And they have good reason to be frustrated. At one point in time, they had the greatest wrestling coach in the country leading teams to multiple national championships. But even Gable must follow the arrow of time so it was inevitable that the leadership of the Hawk program would pass to new coaches. Unfortunately, the level of expectations was very high and has not been met since Gable stepped down. On top of that, their primary home state rival decided he could do better by pursuing a different opportunity. The result is that the Hawks are no longer in the driver’s seat and they are puzzled about what is the best direction to take. Hence the frustration.
Because we are the Penn State forum, it’s only natural that some of the frustrated Hawk fans will wander over here. I don’t hold that against them. My wife gets upset with me when I am working on something around the house and let loose with an expletive or throw an inanimate object at the ground out of frustration. I always remind her that I really haven’t caused any harm and all I’m really doing is venting. I don’t see Turk doing anything differently.

You're missing some key information here
Unfortunately turk(wildsucks a d) gets a shout out from me, because he took forum Fandom too far and did and still does poke fun of a poster whose child commited suicide.
He should have been banned by now, but I guess the mods are puss%=^.
I do give him credit. I spent years on HR and could never fully "own" that place.
Turk ownes this board..
Read a couple of these pages

It’s section 8, though. Even @bnicolls couldn’t pop the clutch on this one.
That's because you're a normal person. The GIA lunatics are quite happy to throw sane people overboard.
I'm quite happy to let that poster remain anonymous, because that's what he says he wants. Also, why do we need to know? And if we unmask him, by his own admission he probably stops posting.
In any case: if Iowa wrestlers join HR/GIA while on the active roster, that's a gigantic red flag for that program. Would go a long way toward explaining postseason underachievement.
@JST - I don’t know what happened and I sure don’t want you to feel like you have to rehash it here. FYI - I went through something very similar about 20 years ago and it caused my marriage to fall apart. So whatever happened, you have my prayers and complete sympathy.
@horraybeer: Ok I get your point. I haven’t kept up with everything on this forum. I will say that I think most of the people posting here are a great bunch of people. The only person I have met live is 1AA who hails from Eastern WA. I wish I could meet everyone else someday.
@el jefe: Based on some things you have posted, I think it’s possible that we both work for the same company.
Ok let’s get back to our favorite topic of Hawk bashing! 😁
It will come out regardless of what we say. I've seen his old posts from 2016. The "old guard" at HR (inner circle) know exactly who he is. His recent posts are definitely in support of change. Not small change but large change.
Tastes better with fava beans and a chiantiOther things like nose gold?
If we do, we'd have to trade stories sometime. It's a big place with great people, great products, and interesting and fun work. Also lots of corporate stupidity.
That's an oxymoron in all corporate structures. That said, if you ever leave that environment you'll realize you learned a lot more than most do and what you thought was mundane is life altering for most in business.
Ooh! I like the word tautology even better than redundancy for this kind of thing. I’d never heard the word used this way before. Thank you, Surfer!
Funny I have never heard this generalized statement before
I get that ... but I was being polite and hiding details that might get my employer identified.
Certainly there is a lot of mundane stupidity that sometimes is frustrating but mostly we just laugh off. And God knows there are a ton of stories there.
But I also meant stupidity that has real, life-altering effects on our customers and/or the public. And unfortunately we have a lot of that too.
I don't think so. I've never heard of him, but we have a few thousand at my site plus over 100k elsewhere. There is no Jim Sturges in our corporate directory, unless James/Jim is his middle name or a nickname.
I've been around a long time now. I travel the boards for my daily fun. I'm not frustrated with anything really. Just cruising along doing my thing 😎
Ok - that’s enough to tell me we’re not working for the same employer. Bummer- I was hoping we could trade thoughts next week via instant messaging on our network. I do hope we get a chance to meet sometime.
