All I will say on this front is that not all is as what it seems.

If Iowa starts another Dynasty (heaven forbid) ...

- Start date
Let me know when you realize it's not 1977. The kids transferred and lost a year of eligibility because of it. Wrestling for Brands is obviously what they wanted to do. 99.9% of kids go to a school because of the coach.
As for the original question, yes, it is good for the sport if they start another Dynasty. It's a lot better than Mizzou and Minny winning championships because their fans don't care about wrestling.
I don't understand the concern about one program dominating, it is not going to happen. OK State won four in a row in the middle part of this decade and have been somewhat off the last two years though they might be coming back.
Oklahoma State by far is the most dominant program that the sport has ever seen, this cannot be argued with; ISU's program has maybe 10-15 more dual wins over its life than OSU does (970-ish to 960-ish, according to school info), but more importantly OSU has 34 national titles to our 8. OSU was extremely dominant year after year from the 1930s to the 1960s and that did not kill the sport. Harold Nichols looked at it as a challenge and succeeded in breaking it.
I hope you guys don't feel that ISU is now entitled to win national championships all the time because Cael is our coach, you have to go earn it. I look at Iowa being monsters and ISU being machines, lets tune the machines to beat the monsters.

They'll just build another building for the wrestling team.
BTW, your avatar would look much better with this 1970's vintage personal luxury vehicle. I even found one in your color!
Black Beauty: '72 Lincoln Continental Mark IV --All original Black Beauty - , US
1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV For Sale
those are awesome cars: 68 1/2' through 71' bodystyle and 72' as transition year, 73' onward they went to pot-those damn park bench bumpers.
Yup...completely ruined a gorgeous automobile. I'd love to spend a few weeks with a fully restored '72 Mark IV...

I love cars that can hide their headlights. I have a 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury that has that option.
If he does that I hope he goes somewhere that has a prison system with plenty of capacity.
It will be ISU and Iowa on top for a bit. CS will get the job done at ISU. There are some good young wrestlers on his team. He is also building quality depth something very improtant in wrestling and lacking during the BD era. I hate to say it but I do like Iowa's aggressive style of wrestling. They get after it, wrestle there style, and always keep the other guy on their toes.
Wow, another half hour of Wresling talk on Miller, thank god for MLB.com streaming games. I never claim to like wrestling but I respect the guys and my friends that are/were wrestlers. That being said it has no place on the radio, even in Iowa.
I think I agree with this too. I will also take this option with Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, and most other schools.
Wow, other people are on this site while they are working too! Now I do not feel so bad.:wink:
