tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 I like the move too but, this has to be one of the biggest bone-headed business decisions of all time. What kind of return can PSU expect with this investment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eville dad 17 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 I think its great for the sport!Maybe Penn St knows something thats not as obvious to the rest of us in regards to the expected return on investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bear 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 I honestly do not like the ISU cyclones now. I wonder if David Taylor will still go to ISU? Okie State has a TOUGH recruting class this year. Also maybe Cael will actually get some of that Pennsylvania talent to come to Penn State. I'd much rather see Penn and Zeke Jones on the top of Penn's recruiting though.

dinubus 2 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 I think less and less of Cael every time I hear about him. It always has to be all about the money now-a-days! Dan Gable would never have even thought about leaving! Of course, that is why his Iowa teams made history and Caels teams probably never will (unless wrestling becomes like basketball, less about coaching and all about the recruits - but even then Dan Gable took home boys from Iowa that typically weren't even state champions and made them National Champions).

Just like down in our room we had to ease up after "Mommas" started getting worried about the level of intensity we were using. That makes me upset, theres so much for coaches to be worried about now days, that they can't even maintain a high level of intensity during practices.

Zeus 117 Report post Posted May 15, 2009 I tell my parents that wrestling's not for everyone. I coach winners and intensity is important. If their kid, or them, can't handle it then they need to try another sport. I have had some quit but most just deal with it and get better. After awhile they understand why it's important and they stop talking about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted May 15, 2009 I remember under Coach Lowe we had a good 40 minutes of hard conditioning, then drills, then technique, then we ALWAYS had to run walls after practice, we had to add one wall for each day of practice. Then of course our warm up was 1 to 3 miles of at least moderate runningThen this year I was trying to bring all of it back, but Tre made himself master of the wrestling room and dropped almost everything we did for conditioningNo discipline, no conditioning, minimal talent. It was terrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Someone should have stepped up and spoke out.Jared was our Senior but he was too timid to do anything, he just focused on himself and our 112. I was constantly trying to tell Tre that the stuff he was doing wasnt helping. But I guess he was too busy displaying his lack of real knowledge of wrestling. Like not knowing the difference between a square and staggered stance, refusal to attempt or teach shots, and thinking just by breaking me down he was a star top wrestler.But back to the topic at hand....

Really intense, run run run run run, drill drill, run run run run, technique, run run, live wrestle, run. Really intense and almost all of the running was over hills.
