Welcome gilman

You know, I’ve always avoided HR because I had no real reason to visit, but today I decided to check out what they were saying about Gilman leaving.

You guys really weren’t exaggerating at all.

This is my guess.

Yes this image

You use that one a lot. Bet jammenz has the record. Think he would not try that door as often as he does. Lol

Credit where it's due: @dicemen99 was the first to use it on Jammen.

There are some real beauties over there. Vodka getting a smackdown is not only a beautiful thing, it's funny as hell. The Gilman post is funny as well. Now he's damn near awful and Lee is a God. I've never really hated any wrestler. Stepping on the mat in D1 is a huge accomplishment. That said, I've just become a huge Gilman fan. Lol. Adding to that, calling me out for the Brand's post here and creating a thread is priceless. I didn't like the post and many called it out. I actually like the Brands boys and think they're good for wrestling. I simply prefer Cael's demeanor. But hey, I have an "at" sign by my name, so all is good. Ha ha.

I will support Gilman as long as he continues to use this as his entrance music.

Still nowhere near as funny as (in another thread) Grip saying Perry's HWC replacement should be Kolat.

“Even cash cows gotta get butchered sometimes” if nothing else Gilman is entertaining as hell

Good luck with Gilman. He did figure out that the IOWA mentality is crap show based on robots and the narcissist Brands' way

Some good tidbits right out of the gate: 1. The notion that he's making more money at the NLWC than he made at HWC is "fake news" 2. He split a scholarship with Corey Clark at Iowa.

I must say, when this new broke, I was not really surprised, NLWC room is the best place in the country to get better!

But, what has surprised me, is the friendship between Gilman and Zain..from what I THINK I know of both of them.

I really like what this could do for recruiting light weights !


Welcome to HAPPY VALLEY Mr. Gilman

 

[tomsc]

Just watched Gilman's interview with Flo. I have to admit it makes me feel more positive towards Gilman. As many others have written on this board, I didn't like many of his antics and attitudes as a college wrestler. But in the interview he shows that he's matured a lot. He's not a totally different person, but he's matured. I'm happy to see it and can pull for this guy. I think all of us have needed to mature some over the years.

Again, TG, welcome to the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, with socially-distanced open arms. Wish you well, 100% behind you while you're wearing this logo...

I like this move for several reasons.
1, Thomas Gilman will improve in that room. We all know PSU's room is full of absolute hammers. He's going to gain a new approach, a fresh look, new partners and a different set of eyes to help him. He's always had excellent coaches. Love them or hate them, the Brands brothers are some of the finest coaches in the world, but so is Cael, Cunningham, etc.

2, He's going to help the lightweights, especially Robert Howard, tremendously. I'd imagine he's pumped that he has a senior level, World silver medalists to train with, day in and day out.

3. Recruiting wise, this should also help bring in some more ranked lightweights. Even if they're not top 10, p4p guys, I'd imagine with Cael's coaching and TG helping/training, I wouldn't be shocked to see them get improved results as soon as next year, at 125.

IMHO, This is a great move for all involved.
PSU, NLWC, Gilman and the fans. It also goes to show you, we probably take these rivalries a bit more serious than these athletes do. Olympic Gold is the ultimate dream for almost all wrestlers. Cael gets this. Gilman gets it. We, the fans should be supportive. I hope those that dislike Gilman wil give him a chance and support what he's trying to accomplish.

I can't wait to see him compete after a few months in that room, with Cael's coaching.

That's interesting because I have been told repeatedly by Iowa fans that wrestlers of that caliber only accept full scholarships.

But Gilman was promised a spot in the NLWC and being paid for clinics to make up for the 1/2 scholarship. Now Cael is making good on that promise. Wait...what?

Gilman might find wrestling fun again!
