Cyclone Nation Need To Step Up

Otherwise known as the black hole? Put it into wrestling. At least we can see some results.
Yah . . how about Gable and Sanderson. 2 supposed ISU grads and $$$ guys.
Right . . they have no loyalty except to themselves. :twitcy:
What I want to know is, what needs to be done and how much will it cost? As much of a history as we have in wrestling, it will always take a back seat to the big programs, especially considering their facilities aren't bad right now.
Look at UNO. History doesn't matter that much and money drives the train.

I am very interested in the posts for this thread. How many people just support ISU when they are winning? How many people support them by attending and cheering for the wrestlers even when they are not ranked number one? I went to PA to do just that....there were few ISU fans there. This saddened me as I looked around at the other schools and club supporters who came from far away places just to support one wrestler who made it to the championships.
Did the so called "sugar daddies" leave with Cael or are the fans the ones who are letting the team down? I went to the after tournament meeting (club) to check it out and was disheartened that there are not more supporting alumni there.
I joined and will be sad when/if we lose matches, but my loyalty and devotion to the team will not waiver.
I hope that I don't sink so far down that I start craping on my own team.... How soon you forget that on this very forum last year some of the fans were not so high on Reader, but now he can do no wrong...
Most wrestlers do not start out as Varners, Caels, etc. They grow into the leaders and AA wrestlers. Please don't forget this as you post about these great young men. 5 of our team made it to the NCAA Championships. We need to celebrate them. Hopefully, as our team matures and holes are filled we will get back to where we need to be. Don't get me wrong, I am a fierce competitor and HATE losing, but I do understand what has happened to this great team and what it will take to get it back on track. I think things look good for next year and the next year looks even better!
Go ISU!
Interesting thought. A dedicated stand alone wrestling room wouldn't be too expensive if you could find a place to set it. Leave room for a dedicated weight facility and lounge, adn you would be back on par with what other schools have.
What is being done with the State Gym at this point? I think it could provide the right atmosphere for a good room, and has the space for all the right stuff. I only used it once in college during an intramural event.
The weight room in the Olsen building is probably a decent size for the wrestling room without much renovation. Would football still be using the locker rooms and training facilities though? If even half of those areas were cleared out that would be a pretty cheap and easy way to give Wrestling a significant facilities upgrade.
