Can you summarize or provide a link to his recent comments?I'm sure this was posted before but if not it's an interesting Iowa read.
This blog was just brought up recently, the wrestler posts on the Iowa board sometimes.
A month or ago he chimed in on the current state of affairs and some of the local meat heads didn't like what he had to say..
He's easy to like.

I'm not sure how long ago the comments were made.
Basically he's not super happy with how things are going and how things need to change. A few of the nuts basically tried discrediting him for his opinion.. It was odd, this dude was on the ground and in the trenches and a few acted like he had no idea what wrestling was. Maybe JS can shine more accurate light on the knuckle heads thoughts etc..

Oh yeah .. he had great stuff over there. They called him out on saying things that PSU fans were saying for over 10 years. He pretty much validated the people they like to call trolls ..
TarpHawk is one of the more knowledgeable guys on any wrestling forum.
He mentions wrestling Steve “Rat” Martin from Virginia:
“By the way, he spits on the mats during practice, and he doesn't say hello in the hallways. I think he's an asshole.”
I met Steve at the Granby camp his father was running in Virginia, I believe the family says they invented the move. What I remember about Steve is that he actually *was* an asshole- so I feel vindicated. Invited us to his room, sort of hung out with us, then yes, actually ignored us in the hallways and on the mats. It wasn’t just me!
Is it fair to say he was not one wild and crazy guy?
Well excuse me
Not at all.
But the whole blog is very entertaining, including how they ran the room, and his interactions with the Brands brothers and others. Let’s say the program seemed to have the opposite mindset as what I believe is going on at PSU now. Since Tom and Terry are in charge, and seemed helping foster that environment in the late 80s, I suspect the program is run similarly today. Definitely worth a read, while news is slow and we are waiting for our team to take the mat again.
Sure looks that way.
He was in the HWC wrestling freestyle if memory serves
Maybe Pat hacked into the Iowa website and removed his name.
Or maybe it was Pat's secret agent @johnstownsteel
"An inadvertent change caused a number of changes to guys on the website" Guys? You pushed a button that removed him from the roster? Woefully lame excuse!
My sources tell me that Kennedy told them: "If the check don't clear.......I Shant be here". He learned bluffing from Nelson. It worked. It certainly helped that he was the only one at the weight scoring bonus points. He got his bag just as they were removing his name from the roster. Simplest answer
Maybe that's what happened maybe not, but there are clearly unintended consequences of hiring out 1/3-1/2 the roster every year. NIL from an existing squad point of view can resemble polishing a turd."An inadvertent change caused a number of changes to guys on the website" Guys?

Some student/sports information intern deleting a row from the table embedded in the website is not a reflection on NIL.
Unless you just want to make literally anything about NIL.
Thanks for sharing, js. Tarpley has an engaging writing style and his commentary on Gable, his HWC teammates and on life in general is frequently humorous and insightful. High quality stuff.
That or they just copied and pasted the ASU roster, made minor adjustments and forgot to add PK!"An inadvertent change caused a number of changes to guys on the website" Guys? You pushed a button that removed him from the roster? Woefully lame excuse!

PK drinks the kool-aid, as evidenced in his interviews. This was always a non-story.
And for the record, he should drink the kool-aid. I'm not taking the piss out of him with that statement. But he's wired to be a hawk. Always has been.

They still have not corrected the site, in other news they erased him from the previous years rosters as well.
