Re: Seth Gross

Nidaros...you have made some asinine statements on this board but this one takes the cake. Unless you have sat with Coach Hahn and staff...do not question their compassion for the athletes. Just because he isn't jumping around, hollering does not mean he isn't passionate. I suggest you go, meet him, get to know him. Bono was good for our program, I won't discount that...but the best thing he did was make SDSU an attractive destination for the next guy...it hasn't been all sunshine and roses jumping around in Madison, with a little investigative digging a person can find that.Oh and the "next guy" is going to build this program and then some...most people expected it to be a down year(see my 2018/19 post. Regarding guys quitting at the end of matches, I trust Coach is handling that, but in private...building trust, and coaching.

I am not as sophisticated as you are but I did not criticize Hahn. I said he was qualified otherwise he would not live in Brookings. I do think he is off to a bad start losing to UNI 34 to zero and we were shut out in another match Penn State? But why are our wrestlers allegedly giving up? I feel that's a legit question and giving to the my own endowed scholarship and directly to the Jackrabbit Club it seems to me to be a question that needs to be answered. Asinine??? I dont think so. Knowing the coach is worth how many points? Zero since I have taken time to introduce myself. I never met Bono either, but I watched enough youtubes to know he did not mess around. Lets hope Hahn has the same approach.

Re: Seth Gross

Boy do I miss half pint, the former Wrestling coach who left for Wisconsin. I have forgotten his name. Current coach Hahn is no doubt very qualified but so far hasn’t shown compassion that Half pint did. If all the opinions are correct, we got a serious morale problem. Why certain athletes gave up before the buzzer, I have no idea why. To the average fan, it does not look good. AD Sells no doubt is monitoring the situation.

Re: Seth Gross

This is still in effect:

If you feel the urge to spread rumors about players (in any sport) leaving SDSU, CITING YOUR SOURCE IS NOW REQUIRED.

Acceptable sources are: Printed or broadcast news media (or web sites of printed or broadcast news media), coaches, and players on the team, or other person, BY NAME. No other sources will be acceptable on this board. Some unnamed person you talked to in the Union, in HPER, or anywhere else is not an acceptable source. Other Internet boards and blogs are not acceptable sources.

Failure to cite your source will result in the post and/or the thread being pulled and, quite possibly, depending on how the Moderator's day is going, the rumor-monger getting banned permanently from this board.

Note also that spreading the rumor in the form of a question (i.e. "Did anybody hear the rumor that Joe Player is leaving the team?"; or "What happens if Joe Player leaves the team?" falls under this rule. Any other methods of rumor-mongering which in the opinion of the Moderators is not properly sourced falls under this rule.

This board is intended to SUPPORT SDSU athletics. Unsourced rumors about SDSU student-athletes are destructive to the morale of the team and the entire SDSU community, and as such do not support SDSU athletics.

Re: Seth Gross

Slosho, are you talking about Mueller? I watched the highlights on You Tube last night and he was walking off the mat before the horn sounded. I'm with you, it was a bad look.Taking this a step further, Marty has really struggled this year. I know he was hurt early, but he still isn't wrestling to what I'd consider his capabilities. Anyone know if he's still battling injury? Did the move from 184 to 197 hurt him?I'm sure Marty is frustrated with his season. I'm sure he had high expectations after last year and so far he's struggled.

lots of thread drift here, perhaps another thread should be started.Regarding Mueller, he certainly has the frame to carry that weight...I heard he had a difficult time maintaining 184. He carries a lot of muscle and is pretty much 6' tall. I've heard Martin can be his own worst enemy. hopefully that changes, he is a good kid. Yesterdays showing though did not go over well with fans.

Re: Seth Gross

In this case my statement was to be taken at face value. (Haven't seen enough of coach to have an idea of what he'd do if HE feels someone wasn't giving 100% when it counts) I was not making any claim that it was, is, or will be handled incorrectly(perhaps even at all). It was more an observation of how things were. I was not the only one who saw things that way. The optics of it weren't great is all.

The coaches know infinitely more about the wrestlers than I do. I know how it looked and that's all. My comments were based on that alone.

That clears it up!

Re: Seth Gross

I guess I'm not sure what you're trying to say. "Not sure what this one will do."

Maybe you should enlighten us on how he should handle this?

The last coach might have drug him off the mat, Not sure what this one will do.

Re: Seth Gross

The really sad part of that bout was he was in it...had the crowd chanting his name several times. He has a crap ton of talent but is in his head far too much. I hate to get on a student athlete but to just see him “give up” with 12-15 seconds left in the match...frustrating to say the least.

Echo this as well, especially one in particular.

Re: Seth Gross

Less then stellar effort as a team IMO; more then one of our "top guys" flat gave up before the end of their matches -Not a good look if you ask me.

Wrestlers shutout by Pitt. Ouch.

Re: Seth Gross

I have no idea what Seth would want but the possibility of getting to see him put in a full season alongside an improved 2020 Jacks team sounds like a nice option. Throw Sloan into the mix and the buzz for wrestling will pick up big next year.

#18 Pitt comes into Frost this afternoon. There were some really entertaining moments during the UNI match and should be again today. I loved seeing Pohlmeyer working the crowd after his big win - a reminder of lots of moments last year.

I assume it will be streamed on Flowrestling for those of us stuck at home.
