I want to change my vote from manning to Ryan
I actually contacted PSU athletics over this. Asked them if they could start paying me to hate on tOSU and Tom Ryan instead of the Hawkeyes....
Haven't heard back yet...
I'm with you. We can move forward without any transfers and win for the next few years. I'm hoping we do that I'm past transfers after messinbrink who I view differently since he hadn't wrestled an official non redshirt match along with kerk.I guess in my mind there I have a lot more respect for guys who recruit, stay loyal to, and develop the kids. That is the gist of what I was trying to say. I know Virginia Tech and ASU have gotten some kids from the portal and it diminishes the team's accomplishments in my mind.
I also know it is the way things are and I am just getting old and crabby. "NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!""
Why not both?
I think you have the time.
Ever notice he constantly turns to the assistant sitting next to him for validation to whine and they always ignore him?
I get it and I know this is life. I am just saying it is sad to see everyone give up on trying to have something pure and honest and not easily swayed by greed. We all have to fight to live purer lives and do things that are motivated by virtue. The transfer portal and NIL make it very easy to be led by greed. It is just sad to see although it is the way of the world.
It is kind of like having the olympic basketball team filled with NBA stars. It just isn't the same anymore.
When were athletics pure or honest?
It's as if Ryan saw this poll and tweeted out a challenge brick.
That’s one of the three positions he is a Jedi in. Unfortunately for him the other two are making bad decisions, and then loudly claiming to be the victim of said decisions.
From Buckeye board:
“Coach Ryan will be on Flo live Thursday morning with Christian and the boys.”
“Coach Ryan will be on Flo live Thursday morning with Christian and the boys.”
You got that right. Tan Tom stepped right in the big do-do. We will darken his doorway with endless quips for the next year or two. Of course, Tan Tom and/or CP will claim the points record comment was all in jest.
That means we need a shirt with,
172.5
100+
Nothing more to be said.
Wear it in Columbus and Carver
“Of course it’s easy to score 172 this year, transfers and all, not even a big deal”
You’ll see that in uniform from “rival” coaches, wrestling media, maybe even a few coaches wives. How even after Cael has the record, no one can ever top Gable.
I am not sure anything is pure, but it is nice to try and push things in that direction. I get your negativity or realism or whatever you want to call it. I just do not think the current situation lends itself to developing the best virtues. Greed is a powerful force and it drives a lot of our decisions. Now we are seeing it more so in college athletics among the athletes.
It's realism, and to be equally realistic: there is far less greed today among athletes than during, for example, the 1970s point shaving scandal at Boston College, or the 1980s SMU football players being showered with sports cars by multiple colleges while still in high school, or the 1990s UNLV basketball team hanging out with "The Fixer" from the BC points shaving scandal.
Negativity is saying that today's athletes are more motivated by greed than those in the past who chose their schools based upon scholarship offer size.
I normally defend Ryan because his team seems to be very gracious and classy. His comment about an asterisk is not good.
The NCAA has a problem with NIL and portal combination. I can't stand Nick Saban,( my daughter met him at FBI LEDA convention and said he was very pompous and arrogant. ) When he walks away from Alabama because of the current situation in College sports with money and transfer situation, you know it has to be an issue. The NCAA shut down SMU football for what is now allowed. Somewhere some balance needs to be initiated to prevent the yearly transfers. I have no issue with grad students free lancing. Maybe undergrads get one every 4 years without sitting out.?????

We are seeing it more because it's more public but it always has existed.
I don't get Ryan's beef.
I'm sure he threw lots of NIL money at his 'historic' 2022 recruiting class.
Is he suggesting buying high school kids is nobler than buying grad transfers?
Ryan has chosen his path. He needs to shut the F-up and show everyone his model works. Until he does, he's just pi$$ing into the wind.

Greed has been a problem for long enough that it's one of the seven deadly sins (if you're into that sort of thing). Not sure if the 'current situation' qualifier is needed.
Don't confuse the fact that you don't like (for whatever reason) college athletes being able to get paid with "greed" on their part.
He wouldn't be complaining if the transfers he sought had moved to Columbus.
OK, he'd still complain about somehing but not this.
Wow that voting is tight tight tight, Manning and Ryan neck and neck
Ryan was heard muttering 'I have to be #1 in something'!
Manning had an early lead because of recency, but Ryan will eventually swamp him with sheer volume.
Funny post from a Michigan fan on Intermat:
“Ryan's issues seem to be that the concussion protocol didn't exist when he was in the Iowa room getting pummeled by the Steiner brothers.”
Ryan started his loyalty spiel at the NCAAs ... he managed to get quoted several times, even as the 8th-place coach.
I wonder how gas tank Gary feels when he hears that crap on national TV.

What this doofus Ryan doesn’t realize is the magnanimity of the PSU margin of victory with NIL in place. Think of all of the quality transfers that UM and Iowa pulled in. No way should a first place team should be able to outscore the 2nd place team by 100 friggin points…especially with NIL.
Take that asterisk and shove it up your Ryan.
Yep. Toss out all four of our transfers, in the age of the Portal and NIL, and PSU still wins nationals running away this year.
For a guy that I respected quite a bit, each time he pulls this crap, he just lowers himself. In a way it's just plain sad.
We might run on all cylinders one of these years and ring up something absurd - like 185 points.
And he’ll be handing out “coveted” black shirts to guys finishing 3rd at CKLV.
Cael didn’t come here to beat Lehigh
The entire 2018 season debacle is eating away at this guy's sanity. He's never going to get over it. Doesn't help that he's not a 'big picture' kind of person.
He's always been that way. Zain beat Stieber because of average officials, a long bus ride, and a touch of flu. Etc.
