When you click on Forums after it changes screen, you will see at the top in yellow Recent posts. Off to the side you will see Forum List. Click on that, and then scroll until you see wrestling. There will be every forum created for wrestling only.

Thanks. I got it now.

But seriously... CW doesn't have wrestling traffic and I can see why.

I hope that all these new comers to the sport of wrestling can learn and grow to love this sport as much as those who have been committed to this sport for years.

When I was presented with the chance to get involved with wrestling again I was PUMPED because it had been far too long since I had been involved. I spent all of high school as a wrestling manager and coming to college I lost that. Being the beat reporter for this sport has been one of the most fulfilling opportunities I have had especially at a time like now when the culture is changing.

I hope my coverage is helping those who want to follow it a little more and I hope for those who never left that I am helping them stay up to date. As CW stated we have a good relationship with Dresser going. It's been one of my favorite things about being a beat reporter is being able to get to know this staff. I am fully committed to making the content of this sport grow as much as I can. I've been committed to that the past two seasons.

For those of you who have spoken to me more than others know I love knowing what you guys want and what I can do to make this better. Your feedback is always taken into account and I am always trying to think of ways to grow.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. Always ask questions if you have them. Always reach out with concerns. Wrestling is a great sport and an amazing ride to follow. I would know, I've been doing it since I was 13.

We've had 3-4 different versions of the site since I've been at CF and wrestling has never gotten traffic. I can assure you that the current setup of the forum is not the reason why.


Hoping that having such a good team now will help make a difference. It is amazing how quickly Dresser has turned things around, including what seems like "addition by subtraction." I certainly thought it would take much longer for us to become relevant again as a wrestling program. Next year's Cy-Hawk meet is going to be the biggest wrestling event in Ames in a very long time.

I believe that it will. We've never really had CF when ISU was thriving in the sport. I'm hopeful.

It would be great to get a "behind the scenes" sponsored podcast with Dresser, Metcalf, and St. John. Ask them if they even know each other's first names (they always call each other by their last names, not even "Coach," but "Dresser," "St. John."). Seriously, I would love to hear Dresser talk more about his rivalry with Brands. That would drive traffic to the site, unfortunately it would include a bunch of Hok trolls. One can only imagine what Hok wrestling trolls will be like.

I know I remember at least 3 of the versions. Heck even last year in some of the dual threads it was just 1 or 2 guys chatting. It's hard for cyclone fanatic to compete, which h

Hawk Trolls their views count the same towards the ads ;)

Agreed, next year's Cy-Hawk will be pretty awesome. We'll be a much-improved team and only lose Willie (albeit a big loss) while loading up with more young talent. Unfortunately, Iowa only loses Stoll, I believe (big loss as well), and move Cassioppi right in there. Should be nuts! With a rowdy Hilton I can only imagine how pumped our guys will be.

I have to wonder if Terry Brands' son, Nelson, will crack the line up next season. I'd love to see what it looks like when the Brands boys coach their own kin.

They also have Kemmerer back.

Nelson would probably have to go down to 157.
