How difficult is it going to be to change the name going forward? If it is going to be as difficult as it was with rivals then I’d probably say don’t do anything with current coaches in the name.
I think Jeff finally has a way to do it. That's why he's asking

It all goes back to Ed Gallagher. If you think about it all coaching trees in college wrestling have Gallagher at the top. Even Iowa had Gallagher - Keen - Nichols - Gable

I like Gallagher Hall.
I like Hall of Fame Street Elite

Somehow, something like:

Gallagher, Griffith, Roderick, Chesbro, Seay, Smith, & Taylor

Feels like it has an air of overcompensation to it, not to mention, sounding like a law firm.

They had to cut Mount Rushmore off at some point.

How about 8 Great Coaches (and counting) 😊

Gallagher Hall seems like a nice, simplistic choice.

34 & Counting has its flaws, at the end of the day, feels like it will be difficult to come up with something that is both better and has large agreement around.

34 and counting is still fine with me. It sucks we’ve been stuck on 34 but are we really going to be ashamed of that because some prick from Iowa or Pennsylvania is making fun of us having more team titles than them?

Yes, and changing it seems like waving a white flag of sorts.

As hard as it appears to change from past discussions, we need to change it.

We will hate it in a few years that we can’t change it from 34 to the higher numbers that are coming.

So @JAY45, it’s not a white flag, it’s a battle cry.

Something simple like "The Home of Wrestling". Thats what Coach Taylor is shooting for and thats what we want to be. We can help manifest it into existence 👍 .

Plus itll piss off all the immature psu and hawk fans thinking how audacious it is for us to name it that.
Its a win win. :cool:

Not that anyone will likely care about my opinion, but I’m 100% in favor of Gallagher Hall. It’s future proof, simple, appropriate, and honors the history of the program.
