So who did Nevills have to beat out for the job last year? He was the only hvy on the roster and Cael had to recruit a footballer just to fill the spot.
Dang...should have let him keep walking the plank. Who did MM have to beat for 197 this year?

He beat out Jan Johnson, and another heavyweight, in the room, when he became healthy.So who did Nevills have to beat out for the job last year? He was the only hvy on the roster and Cael had to recruit a footballer just to fill the spot.
Better leave it be. 21guns will get wound up and start finishing all his comments with "FACT"!
Iowa's first 2 championships were 1975 and 76. Gary Kurdelmeier was the Hawkeye head coach of those two teams.And...Iowa was a no name wrestling program (relative to winning national championships) before they begged that ISU wrestler named Dan Gable to coach them! At least Penn State had one national championship before we got Cael to come to PSU!
I'm convinced based on results. Nah.. Truth is... I was convinced before I came up with the 2 minute write up, with facts, expert opinion about the state of NCAA wrestling from a wrestling legend who I've met and consider a foremost authority on collegiate wrestling. So dispute him or me... but don't dispute the results he speaks of.Nah...he's got to write 9 or 10 paragraphs to convince himself.
I'll say congrats when those recruits pan out. Having your top 3 guys on the team (Iowa) not score a take down in the first three finals matches at the NCAA's makes me a tad gun shy to start handing out Brody Grothus, Savior Awards.Amalone has been holding that in for awhile. All Amalone ever talked about was how Iowa couldn't recruit. Aaron Bradley, Mike Kemmerer, Kaleb Young, Gavin Teasdale, Spencer Lee. .. That's just in PA. How about saying congrats to Iowa on the good recruiting lately and look forward to the future battles.. Nope not happening.
Amalone doesn't have a humble bone in his body. Nothing but anger and hate inside him! Must be rough going through life like that.
Is this the part where you start calling this "your" board again?Yep.
5 Titles in 6 years.
Fact.
Any thing else to run your mouth about?
Is this the part where you start calling this "your" board again?
What am I supposed to argue? CongratsNope. Just 5 titles in 6 years.
Argue that.
This is the part... where you face reality. Iowa hasn't been that good in the near term and needs to do much better or Terry and Tom will be doing more movies, but not on the side.Is this the part where you start calling this "your" board again?

I am good with that.I stand corrected. So what you are saying is that Penn State recorded a national Championship more than 20 years before Iowa did? So who has come to the party late?
Still seeing those "Minnesota National Champions"shirts from a couple years ago when I visit Bermuda and Jamaica.Are you referring to JRob's unbeaten 5-0-1 dual record vs Cael's PSU team? Or to Minny's 93 B1G individual champs, 10 B1G team titles and JRob's 8 B1G Coach of the Years awards?
Wrong. Here is a link to your 2014-15 roster http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-wrestl/archive/psu-m-wrestl-roster-14-15.html.He beat out Jan Johnson, and another heavyweight, in the room, when he became healthy.

But Johnson was not on the team to start the year, so as much as this pains me to say jammenz is right in saying that Neville did not have to beat anyone to get the starting role.Wrong year Jammenz. That was Nevills freshman year. I don't know why Lawson and Gingrich are not on that list. Here are links to stats from 2014-15 and the actual 2015-2016 roster which includes Jan Johnson.

He's right, but as usual he has no point worth considering.
And Bo Jordan thought our practices weren't intense enough. Different strokes for different folks. The proof is in the pudding as they say.I was listening to Spencer on one of the Iowa talk shows and he expounded that they just felt at home within the Iowa campus. Pure speculation and I am not insinuating anything, but maybe he just didn't feel as comfortable within the culture at PSU. If you listen to most all of the PSU interviews over the past couple of years, each of those kids constantly spout out how grateful they are, etc., etc. Meaning there is a definitely a defined culture at PSU (aside from winning). Spencer may not have bought into that culture (yet) and simply felt more comfortable in the Iowa culture... Just saying.. Certainly hope he changes his mind!
