You Monday morning QB's can say all you want, but Pollard knows Kevin Jackson's a gem. But get him some help for goodness sake.

No strength and conditioning coach for one of the more storied wrestling programs in the United States?

How is that even possible?

What makes Kevin Jackson a "gem"? Every time he opens his mouth it is cringe-worthy and what has he proven as a coach?

Not exactly sure.

You obviously haven't talked to brands one on one, or kj. Kj was very personable and understandable. I'm still trying to decipher some of the jibberish from brands, even asked one of his old roommates who said they couldn't understand him and just laughed.

I'm not saying he has a speach impediment. He has foot in mouth disease far too often.

This conversation has NOTHING to do with Tom Brands. Why even bring him up? Funny that I read your post right as they were interviewing him during a match this morning. I understood every word and everything he said made sense and was very intense. Oh, and during the tourney he's been the one giving the clinics on ESPN. He's very good and gets a bum rap around here.

Jackson certainly 'um's and 'ah's a lot. But you are doing to have to help me out on examples of him putting his foot in his mouth.

As far as Brands doing the clinic stuff for ESPN this year, you do realize that Jackson has done that in past years as well, right?

Dude...the Brands thing...not the point. Another poster brought him up as a total red herring. My reply was Brands is much more well spoken and introspective than given credit for. It has nothing to do with KJ.

Okay, but how about at least one foot in mouth example?

I figured I would compare him to your coach. Figured it would get you worked up and it did. You have always posted in the past about his ums and aahhs and never said foot in mouth. When I pointed out your coach does it also, you changed it.

And watch how all the monkeys act in the corner when an Iowa wrestler does well. Act like u've been there before instead of jumping around the mat like a bunch of idiots. Wins wise Brands has KJ but I would much rather have KJ represent ISU. To say he is a better speaker, Id beg to differ. Some of the stuff he says to the media and public he acts like an ape. Ill support Cael in whooping there ace anytime until we get back to that level.

Ummm...what?

KJ is a smoke blower. That's what I'm talking about. Some people dig that stuff, I do not. He's not poorly spoken or anything like that. You guys are the ones that jumped to that conclusion.

Who the heck claimed one guy is a better speaker over the other? Yet another thing completely made up to deflect the issue at hand.

I would love it if our coaching staff showed a lot more passion. Perhaps they have it but just have so little to get excited about.

This statment here you say is much more spoken. Now if this isnt comparing, I dont know what is.

LOL you have to be kidding me. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit because there is no way you can possibly be that dense. Certainly an intelligent guy like Judoka isn't going to agree with you.

Take it back. Don't make me give you a 5th grade English lesson. I will if I have to but I would rather not.

You said he has "foot in mouth disease". Time for you to put up or shut up. Give some examples of his "foot in mouth disease".

Cue up any "Ask the Coach" interview. I will say this: "foot in mouth" might be overboard. His "smoke blowing" is more what I'm talking about. He's not McCarney but he's right up there.

BTW, I see App State has now tripled our point total. Incredible.
