Would you support bringing Dan Gable back to ISU?

I for one would think it could be a major coup. Gable may just win the National Championship in his first season back "home" at Iowa State. Other thoughts?

Yes. This is from a person too young to remember the past, though. If I was older I might be singing a different tune.

Gable loves the state of Iowa and he just might want to see the rivalry continue with him still in it. I'd love to see Dan come back home. He's a little nuts but not as bad as Brands.

He is way way worse than Brands

i would say there is no chance in hell that happens, but ida said the same about CS leaving Ames- it certainly would be a great hire

One of the newscasts tonight had Gable on and asked him that question. He had a look of disbelief and said no. He said he's been a Hawkeye for 30+ years now and was a Cyclone for 6. He's never even considered it.

I saw that interview, and I am not exactly sure that is the way he answered it, it appeared to me that he is somewhat intrigued by the situation.

I want Gable back in Ames. I want ISU to dominate and end this crap. I want to run scores up and not apologize, so yes I want the legend to return. I am that pissed.

Two years ago, I would have said no way, but due to past events, I think it is time to just go for the wins. Face it, college sports has become a win at all costs proposition, so let's get the winning part down and worry about how we are perceived later.

Gable in Ames would be rested, motivated, and angry. His teams would be going for points until the whistle blew every match. We need that fire back in Ames. We need to quit being good losers.

ISU is an elite wrestling program. Let's start acting like one.

The irony of Gable beating Cael in the NC would be great irony, not backing this up but damn, that would be something....
