Unfortunately, excuses do little to comfort anyone. 26 teams were better than us and again, unacceptable.

The coaches and team aren't making excuses and realize that is not the level or expectation although it is reality.
Yes, injuries that don't allow wrestlers to perform to their maximum ability should be thrown out the door and zero grace awarded.
Next you're going to blame Sammy Sasso for getting shot because he just shouldn't have been there.
lots of rumors, I am not going to say. I will say this, I think he was screwed over, and I will leave it at that. Dresser loves him, and I don't think agreed on him being let go. I think he now has a gym somewhere and some of the guys plan on working out at his place.
I assumed there had to be something behind the scenes.
Is ISU really a “blue blood” in wrestling? With no team titles in nearly 40 years, and 1 top 10 finish in the last 15, I’m thinking that’s a no. We aren’t without resources but blue blood is a high bar.
Teams best known for their wrestling history right now are Iowa State, Iowa, Oklahoma State, and Penn State.. Too much history in Ames Iowa to be left out. But not recent history that's for sure.
Teams with a lot of resources and funding are Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska (not sure on the NIL funding), Cornell, Iowa State, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, NC State, Missouri, Illinois - a lot of the big10 schools and a couple other programs really have invested into wrestling. Some really great small schools known for their wrestling like Lehigh and UNI
I’ve been around this board a long time. People can check your post history themselves. I stand by my comment. You only rear your head when things aren’t going well.
I’m sure he won’t be the only one. He didn’t wrestle second half I could see him getting a medical year if he wanted it for this season and having 2 years left.
Heck, if goes to Little Rock he’ll easily have 3 years left.
I’m surprised he didn’t leave last summer when the rest of those guys did.
I was told he got paid to stay as a room guy. Could be a victim of the roster limit, assuming somebody is brought in from the portal.
Ankeny he has a younger brother who is a very good wrestler as well freshman I think
