- Thread starter dtripp26
- Start date
Didn’t take long for the PSU trolls to make it over from rivals.
Uhhhh - Care to elaborate?With a message regarding Bo and how I am glad to support a team that stands on principle, a certain coach responded, BOOM. I take that to mean good things are coming
Well, I guess that's that! 74 is open for PK... and we can't have nice things! 
Yeah, let us know when you see one.
Sorry to see him go, have always been a fan of him and his family, wish them nothing but the best.
Wait, why am I posting as Anon175####### ??
I entered a user name. Why is that not showing up?
Ok wait, can I bring my username/account from previous board over here? I see a lot of familiar names.
Yea, used have this term in the military called "Failure to adapt." It was a catch all phrase that usually combined different behaviors that all added up Didn't necessarily make the individual bad, they just had some growing up to do but were incompatible with the organization at that time.
Let's face it, some of these kids are getting paid very good $$ but are not living up to minimal standards. I don't know if this is Gabe or not. But $$ changes the game in terms of expectations.

Lol, seriously, when I pull up my account profile it doesn't give me the option of using my username. WTF?Be careful trying to set up your SN...
Usernames were supposed to get portaled over here tonight/tomorrow I recall, but if not, just set up a new account tomorrow with your old username and ignore your anon account.
He was the last recruit I thought this would happen to coming out of high school. Now what at 174 after this year? More 1 year rentals I guess?
Here's Tanner's story on Arnold and impact of the decision.

Gabe Arnold no longer on Iowa men's wrestling team
On Monday evening, redshirt freshman Gabe Arnold confirmed earlier reports of his dismissal from the Iowa men's wrestling team.
Mental health issues suck. I wish Gabe the best wherever he ends up.
When is Ironbird showing up? On two forums full of biased opinions, that guy is always able to keep it real!

Who knows if that will ever become much more public. The Iowa coaching staff really doesn't talk about this kind of stuff, but maybe Gabe will eventually discuss it.
Feel bad for Gabe and the Iowa wrestling team. It says he will be looking for a new team - which is too bad. Loved Gabe and would hope things could be corrected and he could rejoin the program.
Sad day for all involved.

Anthony Robles won conference titles and a national Championship with only 1 leg - but - because Gabe may be a couple of inches shorter than a typical 174 or 184 pounder you are anointing him hopeless to ever be an All American? UH.... ok, whatever... We just learned a lot about your intelligence...
Obvious troll was obvious...there will be a period where we have to do some gardening here and weed out the trolls and garbage posters.
Robles had/has a work ethic Arnold seems lacking in that. Robles also had the upper body strength of like a 157 pounder.
Say you're stupid without actually saying it.
This has been the case for a while now, but with the lax transfer rules it is even more imperative. Counting on having a guy for their 5th year is stupid. If they’re the best guy at the weight, you wrestle them.
As an ISU fan I’m glad you didn’t wrestle him because he probably would have scored enough for Iowa to pass ISU in our one trophy year. But just surprising that Iowa made the decision to leave points at home and ended up with no trophy.
I think this bodes very well for Iowa and the Brands brothers. They see a wrestler that is struggling emotionally and personally — they make him leave the wrestling behind in order to concentrate on himself and his issues (and not wrestling). This is what a coach is there for — to help these men be the best they can be.
For those trying to equate this to some bigger problem— well, it it not. It is the coaches handling a situation BEFORE it becomes a bigger problem or the worst problem one can think of.
Iowa is doing what PSU did not do. Fix a problem before it became too late.
Bravo to Tom and the staff. If Gabe gets his affairs in order, no doubt he will be welcomed back. I know this to be 100% true.

If you look at his handle, there shouldn't be any questions about his intelligence.
Sounds like he’s looking for a new program to wrestle at. Maybe he can go jc route like jarrel miller, so that time won’t count against him.
