Who’s defending this?
No one should if your realistic this should honestly brands last year and I have been a big supporter and tried to look at the positives if any.

We have to wait on Beth I don't know how much she understands wrestling but she could really use some help. As long as CHA is selling out and idiots keep going there will be no change. She will just see $ signs.

Change is needed how do we approach?

I’ve been on the fence on to keep T&T but I dont see the guys wrestling the way Tom interviews says they should be wrestling. That tells me there is a disconnect and a change is needed. There is no fight, bad conditioning and no depth. Take that with losing top recruits, a change just has to happen.

How the hell can any top recruit watch this team and say to self, “I want to wrestle there”. ******* boring wrestling. More stalls than points.
Tom and Bob losing Bassett and Miller is going to drive you people nuts. The offense those two bring is infectious. I don't even think Brands could have stopped it from spreading throughout the Iowa room. It's settled for me, Bill Bassett would do more with that program and he's admitted he isn't that great of a coach. Lol

How on earth did Rocco even wrestle that match? Did you see the incredibly "mean" stare down that Ferrari gave him during the handshake.

Honestly, I think next time Ferrari should do the stare down from one knee. It was sad to see such a great guy like him from such a great family come up short.

recruit better. If you cant get the top p4p blue chips, for whatever reason, then identify under the radar talent, or guys that dont get offered by PSU, and develop them. PSU doesn't win 10 weights a year. And plenty of schools produce NCs. They cant seem to do either.

All the Penn State guys have the same parallel ride. They have had this mastered for years. Go back and watch a match from 10 years ago, whole team same ride. It's obviously very effective. Yes, they have unbelievable talent, but they are teaching this.
Why wouldnt you?
