I'm biased with this, but let me just throw some thoughts out. Iowa State isn't the elite landing pad it once was. I believe they haven't sniffed a national championship in almost 30 years. Recruiting in state will be tougher, as you are competing with Iowa and Northern Iowa who currently better programs. $ isn't that far off, the big divide will be multi year contracts. I'm not sure you can throw the mid-major tag out their for SDSU in wrestling. We have superior facilities and everything else vs Iowa State is a tie.
Iowa State is the Noter Dame of wrestling. Their time was in the past.
Again...this is me praying to the 6lb 8oz baby Jesus that we keep Bono.
Never mind. You made a grammatical error in your post. We must both be stupid.
No apology needed. We're just two jack fans wishing for the best. I always appreciate a little verbal sparing. Shows us jackrabbits won't take sh*t from anyone.

I can't help myself. I really do apologize. You are not an idiot or stupid. I appreciate your opinion.

Sorry, I just have a pet peeve for people that correct grammatical errors, then make one themselves in short order.
I'm confident that Bono and the rest of the staff will stay.
They started something from scratch, actually less than scratch because the program was having many issues when they took over from Drugs/Alcohol to nobody graduating to not being good citizens in the community. It was a mess. I'm surprised the program didn't get cut before Bono arrived.
The point is that they are not the type of people to walk away before mission accomplished. I can see once they have built a nice foundation and have several years of success that they may feel that they have reached their goals and may look for another challenge.
They haven't even produced an All-American yet. And you don't walk away after the first year you do come home with some hardware.
Just wanted to share this week's Jacked Up Monday video. Skip ahead to 6:05 to hear Coach Bono give a total smackdown on the Utah Valley program. This is why we need to keep him.
Iowa State has offered head coaching position to Va Tech head coach, Kevin Dresser. Dresser is from Iowa, grew up 90 minutes from Ames. Wrestled at Iowa. Last two years some have thought Iowa has avoided wrestling Va Tech in the Dual Series. http://www.flowrestling.org/article/...n#.WKiLCetOKrU
The article doesn't say if he has shown any interest in the job, or if Iowa State just decided to go after him. It's kind of a touchy situation while the season is still going on with the post-season right around the corner. Would ISU need to ask permission from VT before they could offer ?
