Fun Article from the CDT on the Beard

First of all let me start with a disclaimer for our Hawk friends... Gable is still the gold standard in coaching wrestling. I can't say enough positive comments about him and his contributions to wrestling.

That said, I was surprised that his interview at NCAAs didn't get more play here and on HR when he said "I don't know if wrestling is fun". Yes, it easier to have fun when you are winning but Cael really has developed a new paradigm. Is it that hard to believe that hard work and dedication can be combined with fun (and dodgeball)? Anyway, my margarita induced post is over. Go Penn State!

Baldwin and Steveson both heard that and looked around a little awkwardly.

I want to do something that is drudgery and not at all fun - that would be sweet!

This is exactly why elite recruits want to come to PSU....Other programs make wrestling a grind and you start to hate it after 2 years....Just ask some big time wrestlers from other programs who have graduated and they will tell you.....It's a whole different world at PSU where you get a great quality education and WRESTLING IS FUN !!!! DYNASTY FOR MANY YEARS TO COME....
 
What happened in 2015? It appears that Cael conceded that nobody could catch Ohio St that year. Here are four top ten teams overall top 100 recruits on their rosters:

OH ST-------- 1,1,1,6,7,9,10,12,27,29,38,39
PSU------------1,3,3,3,4,5,7,32,41,43,71
IA----------------4,11,12,14,16,19,20,23,27,41,55,63,72,74
Minny-----------5,15,18,20,22,23,29,31,37,60,74,76,78,81


1 Ohio State.......102
2 Iowa..................84
3 Edinboro..........75.5
4 Missouri...........73.5
5 Cornell.............71.5
6 Penn State......67.5

Fans of a certain team will soon be asking the BWI mod to clean up this board. Beard is throwing around the F-word waaay too much. Hahahaha.

Might want to rethink that post. You're basically saying that PSU threw away a national title for no good reason. o_O:confused:
 
It wouldn't be a Jammen post without a built-in excuse for the Goofers finishing behind PSU with both Nico and Zain shirting.

No such excuse given for his primary team finishing further back yet ... everybody's entitled to the holiday.

Yea, that's the team that was supposed to be contending for the title with 4-5 finalist. Just an awful NCAA performance by the Gophers. A lot of coaches would of been on the hot seat for finishing that low with that much talent.

You must be thinking of a different team or a different year. Minny wrestled the following top 100 recruits at NCAA's:
60,81,20,---,15,---,5,---,78,22
