Enjoyed the article Tim - good to see the press for the Grapplers, Cael & Co don't get enough attention for what they've accomplished imho, so it's good to see articles like this posted to BWI. Honestly, I think Cael's first 7 years at PSU are the most dominant by any coach since Gable at Iowa in the mid-70s. Incredible what he has accomplished since coming to PSU via leveraging Pennsylvania's rich history in the sport (and that he had the foresight to see the opportunity.....and articulate it back in 2009). Honestly, I think it is so cool that Coach Franklin and Cael are good buddies given the historic tradition both Wrestling and Football have always had in Pennsy. It might be cool to do a story for BWI documenting Cael's and Coach Franklin's friendship and how Pennsy's long tradition in these two sports has given them such a "high profile" and made them both essentially "rock stars" in Pennsylvania and at PSU.

Tim, does it bother you when, for the Nth time, your nephew, or your kids' friends, say to you, "Uncle Owen, this R2 unit has a bad motivator" ?

[The meet can't start soon enough. I keep clicking on this site even when there's nothing new, and I keep posting even though I have nothing to say.]
